In honor of the Salvador Dali exhibition opening in Sydney, the Herald has compiled a list of Sydney’s surreal masterpieces. I’ve seen the weird talking dog statue, but that’s pretty much it (other than Dance Dance Revolution, of course). I’d really like to go to the Grotta Capri Seafood Restaurant that was featured in Muriel’s…

Friday Five: 1. What’s your favorite piece of clothing that you currently own?Hmmm. I’m not sure if it counts, but I love my panda shoes somethin’ fierce. 2. What piece of clothing do you most want to acquire?A month or two ago I would’ve said a knee-length suede coat with (fake) fur at the collar…

Winner, and still champion. Oh yeah! I scored a massive 15/15 on this spelling quiz. The 1991 Lagrange County Spelling Bee Champion still has it. *patting self on back* (Link courtesy of Max.)

Matt‘s been running down his list of “50 Great TV Themes” over at Scrubbles. It’s worth a read if you haven’t seen it yet. His descriptions are full of great trivia, like the fact that the Futurama theme song is based on “E.V.A.” by Jean Jacques Perrey. I put a remix of that on “Lance…

At last! I finally have Mac OS X 10.2 in my possession. During last weekend’s fruitless trip to the Apple Store I noticed that the Apple seminar road show was swinging through Sydney this week. Today I dragged the Snook down to the Convention Centre in Darling Harbour to check it out. What a haul!…

Oh. My. God. CBS is making a reality television show about hillbillies. They’re going to transplant a real “rural, lower-middle class family” to a Beverly Hills mansion and watch the hilarity ensue. Isn’t that funny? Or do you all find this as completely offensive as I do? Why is it okay to make fun of…

Why go to the effort of being a woman of substance, when you will get so much more attention by being a waif? That’s a damn good question.

All right, Book Groupies. I think it’s time to start the discussion! If you’re not quite done yet, just wait until you finish to join in so we don’t inadvertently spoil it for you. This isn’t going to be a set length kinda thing; we’ll just talk about it for as long as people want…

Home Brew Report: As of yesterday, the beer (which was bottled two weeks ago) was ready to be consumed. Apparently it’ll keep getting improving for the next couple of months, but of course we couldn’t wait to try it out. Here’s the Snook cracking open the first one, pouring it, and giving it a taste.…

As promised, here’s a picture of the current state of my Storm at Sea quilt. I’ve got a lot more rows to attach, but you can get the design starting to take shape. I love the way it gives the impression of curves and waves, despite being made up of all rigid geometric pieces. I’m…
