Snookums and I went to see Tap Dogs last night. It was awesome. Six sexy Aussie guys in combat boots and Levi’s “tap, stomp, jump and splash their way through an energetic array of raunchy dance routines.” If you’ve got time, take a look at the Quicktime highlight movie. My favorite part was when they each had a drum pad in front of them and they danced on it to create a full rock rhythm drumline (bass, high hat, everything). The bit with the angle grinders and showers of sparks was damn sexy too. 🙂

Make a Mr. Men or Little Miss!
You remember those books right? Of course you do. That’s Little Miss Kris, over there. Isn’t she cute? (Come on, it’s Friday night!) Like the fabulous StorTroopers, there aren’t a lot of options so you may have to do some Photoshopping to complete the likeness. (Link courtesy of not.so.soft)

Cool! The official Harry Potter site is now up! It’s a bit Flash-intensive, but it’s worth it, I think. Make sure you watch the introduction movie… The tone of the design seems to be darker and scarier than I expected. And I’m proud to announce that I’ve been sorted into Gryffindor!

Microsoft says open-source software is un-American. Excuse me while I collapse in giggles. Whew! That’s a good one. On a related note, I just bought Rebel Code: Linux and the Open-Source Revolution for vacation reading. It looks good… I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Sorry for the lack of posts today. I’ve been in running around between offices for meetings. Ugh. All done now. *smile* And my mom just came through with the happy thought of the day: My younger brother Anthony was designed “Tuffy Muffler Player of the Game” at his high school basketball game last night. He had 16 points against our curséd rivals, the Panthers of Prairie Heights. Congrats, Antny!

Apartments.com is hosting a contest to find the Messiest College Apartment in America. The winner gets $10,000. Suddenly I wish I had taken more pictures of the room I shared with Eileen Dunne freshman year…

MenWhoLookLikeKennyRogers.com. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I had to run around and show everybody in my office. Damn, I love the Internet.

Fresh Hell found a great story on how bibliophiles organize their books. Personally, I’m so anal that I found this fascinating. I used to alphabetize all my books by author, but my Dahl collection got too large and too important to be mixed in with everything else, so now that’s separated out. Then I kinda like to keep all the nice big hardcovers together, then paperbacks, and the reference books always go last. Oh, and books in a series must be shelved in the proper order from start to finish. Like I said, I’m anal. (You don’t even wanna hear about my CD collection…)

Hey girls! (Boys, hide your eyes.) Apparently Procter & Gamble are developing high tech, interactive panty liners that will tell you when you’re going to get your period, when you’re ovulating, if you’re pregnant, and if you have an infection. (Sounds nuts, but true!) The only problem I have with this idea is that women are going to be persuaded into wearing panty liners every day. That’s insane – nobody does that! So while it sounds like some great breakthrough for feminine health, it’s actually just a giant cash cow in the making for Always and Tampax. I’ve posted a much longer rant on this article at Plastic. (Okay boys, you can open your eyes now.)

Um, apparently this week is Chastity Week at ND. There are soooo many things I could say about that, but I won’t.
