Oh man. I wish Google Maps really did get OCCA. That would be fun for our trip to Canberra. 🙂

Health Reform is a BFD
How much do I LOVE that one of the commemorative health reform T-shirt options on Barack Obama’s website is “Health Reform is a BFD”? And how much do I want one? Answer: SO DAMN MUCH.

Marathon Training Plans
Jimbo has posted a great overview of marathon training programs for beginners. I knew Higdon and Galloway, but the other two were new to me. The Furman FIRST program looks very interesting to me. Very interesting. I’ve bookmarked it. We’ll see…

Support Joey’s efforts to Jump Rope for Heart!
As he did last year, my little brother Joey is doing “Jump Rope for Heart” to raise money for heart research. Here’s his fundraising page is here. If you’ve got any cash to spare, please consider sponsoring him. My Mom is going to try to get video of him jumping (as she did last year). Way to go, Joey!
Edited to add: WOW! He’s reached his fundraising goal in just one day. That’s fantastic. Thanks to everyone who donated. (I think you can still donate if anyone missed out.)
Edited 30/03/2025: Fundraising page is dead and not archived.

Peep Dioramas
Kelly McMahon sent me this year’s finalists in the Peep Diorama contest. Despite my hatred for the Peeps, some of these are really good. KLAATU BARADA PEEPTO was a personal highlight.

Polish Easter Butter Lamb
Polish Easter Butter Lamb. That is awesome. I’m trying to imagine the meal where you’d get through a pound of butter though…

Ironman Tony
I may disagree with just about all of his political positions, but full marks to Federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott for finishing his first Ironman. That’s awesome. I also think Nicola Roxon should shut up about how much time he spent training. Ten hours a week for an Ironman is really very little. I also believe that politicians deserve a life outside their job, and I’m more than happy for an elected official to spend that much time on their own health. GOOD ON YA, TONY. (Unfortunately Tony probably wouldn’t afford me the same courtesy, as he thinks a woman’s time is better spent having babies… and there I go hating him again.)

The Korean Tiger. ROWR! (I have a tiger-print dressing gown.)

PEEPS
“Peeps prejudice?: Easter week trial takes on bunny bias.” Hey, if that diorama-girl can be called as an expert witness, so can I. I will fully support the assertion that public display of Peeps is grounds for eviction! (Link courtesy of the Snook.)
