Hooray! User Friendly finally mocks that “All Your Base” crap. I knew I wasn’t alone in my backlash. 🙂
Month: February 2001
According to the Environics 3SC Survey (which I found on /usr/bin/girl), I’m an Autonomous Post-materialist. I agree with the motivations (personal autonomy and self-fulfillment) and key values (freedom, spontaneity) it lists for me, but not the icons. Dennis Rodman? As if. I do quote Eric Cartman quite a lot, though.
“I’m, like, up myah, and you guys are, like, down… myah.”
Beware the Ides of March! In a completely blatant and non-subtle ploy for commercial gratification, I added my birthdate and links to my Amazon UK and Amazon US Wishlists to the left-hand column. That’s right, folks, in just over two weeks yours truly crosses the threshold to 24. (What a boring number.) I’ll still be in Oz, so don’t bother ringin’ up, though. The celebrations, for those in Ye Olde London, will be postponed til the end of the month.
Roger Ebert’s got a new Movie Answer Man column up. Topics covered include Hannibal, Gladiator, and various Academy Award nominees.
R.I.P. Etoys. All you scavengers should dig in before everything’s gone.
Matthew Perry’s in rehab again (scroll down). No mention of where or why. Poor Chandler.
The beef situation just keeps getting worse over here. Now there’s an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. It really is quite dramatic, with analysts showing maps predicting the spread of the disease and newscasts full of footage of burning animal carcasses. It’s like a bovine version of The Stand or something.
Wow! It was a banner day for disturbing search requests here at w-g. People visited this site yesterday looking for: “ugly tough dirty mean bad“, “UK mouthwash“, “where to find prostitutes,” “theology text messaging“, and “oh my goddess buddy icons“. Gee, I hope they didn’t find my site too disappointing. 🙂
Matt linked to an interesting article about obituaries today. Coincidentally, my sister types up the obits for the News-Sentinel in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She wrote a poem called “The Obituary Writer” about the thoughts she has when summarizing somebody’s life. It’s pretty good.
More R.E.M. news is revealed. (Links courtesy of Ghost in the Machine.)
