Sock Monkeys Galore!Well, the Walk Against Want was today, and unfortunately yours truly was too sick to take part. I don’t think this amoxycillin is doing the trick. Anyhoo, I still plan on tackling the distance (15 km) on the treadmill as soon as I’m able. To thank my three sponsors, I spent the day…

Holy crap! This French news site linked to my pictures from the peace rally.

I didn’t recognize the name either, but if you look at his picture you’ll realize you’ve seen him in lots of other stuff (most notably Sleepy Hollow). I think he’ll be pretty…

“On a scale of one to 10, Kylie’s bum is a 58.” BWA HA HA! Funny as that quote was, I still can’t tell if Justin Timberlake is taking the piss or if he’s just a big ass-grabbing dork.

Start preparing your acceptance speech, Ms. Kidman!She’s a shoo-in to win, according to the entries I’ve received for the Oscar Contest. Check out those nifty pie graphs! Those images are all generated on the fly by PHP from the database tallies. There are some surprises in there. Like, I can’t believe how many of y’all…

I am only 57% hip. Or something. Actually I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Based on the questions, I get the idea that hipsters = wankers. (Link courtesy of Brigita, who’s even less hip than me, even if she is a pescavore.)
