“Tiger Woods, Nike spokesman and unmarried father of none…”Ooh, this is such a good rant. The author takes on sportswriters who always include a woman’s marital or family status when writing about female competitors, as if they can hardly believe that a mother could also be a first-class athlete. In a roundabout way, it also…

I just took the Which ‘Six Feet Under’ Character Are You? quiz and it was so wrong. I don’t want to be Peter Krause; I want to possess Peter Krause. I also took the supporting cast quiz and scored “Dead.” As in, I’m a frickin’ corpse. These quizzes suck. (Link courtesy of Beau.)

Three whales have been frolicking in Sydney Harbour for the last couple of days, having stopped off for a break on their trip to Antarctica. They’re heading out, but apparently some of the ferry pilots saw more coming in last night. I can’t believe I live in a place where I could go whale watching…
