You know what isn’t nice? When you spend a couple hours making something and then offer it up freely on the Internet, only to have clueless jerks source it directly from your server. I try to be understanding but, as this is the second time this has happened with the very same image, it kinda…

I’m too sexy for this scarf.I’ve been waiting for Moire (who just set a wedding date!) to receive the scarves I made her before I showed them off.

This Fametracker discussion of Celebrity Urban Legends made me laugh out loud. There are some real quotable gems in there. My favorite exchange: “Where would you even get a frozen gerbil? Health food stores?” “Man, that would be one effed-up GNC.” (Bonus points to the first person to guess which celebrity was being discussed…)

Sweet! I just discovered that Martin, one of the new guys here at work, is Korean! He didn’t believe I was at first, though. Now I’m all excited to re-begin my Korean language training, since he’ll be able to help me with the accent and stuff. We’re already planning an outing next week to a…

Scary-Ass Lesson O’ The Day: Cockroaches can fly! I never knew that.

I seem to be getting a lot more hits for the Simpsons Valentine this year than previously. It’s still available if you want to tell your honey that you “Choo-Choo-Choose” them!
