Rice Krispie HeartsI decided to make some treats for the office tomorrow to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I did the usual Rice Krispie recipe but substituted pink marshmallows (strawberry flavor) instead of plain. That wasn’t quite pink enough, so I also stirred in a fair bit of red food coloring. They’re quite gruesome now, don’t you…

This is where Kris’s ego instantly grows three sizes.My normal carpool buddy Kevin stayed home today so I had to bus it. (And, as Molly Ringwald utters in Sixteen Candles, “I loathe the bus.”) So there I was on the way home, slumped in the corner with my headphones on and a scowl on my…

My shallow desire to sport visible white headphones has been thwarted. – Has anybody else noticed that MetaFilter‘s been down for three days? I can’t find any status information on the usual…

An excerpt from today’s Sydney Morning Herald entitled “Spotlight on New York Fashion Week”: Among the celebrities attracted to the opening shows was Queer Eye for the…

Before anybody sends it to me, yes, I’ve seen the story about how Dr. Atkins was supposedly obese. To be honest, I’m not really convinced by either side’s arguments there. The health information was leaked by a “pro-vegetarian” group with an obvious bias, but then again, the Atkins people have a financial interest in protecting…

The Oscar Contest now has almost 150 entries. Who are all you people? I really hope we don’t have a twenty-way tie. On a related note, there’s apparently some controversy about Fernando Meirelles’s nomination for directing City of God. Apparently another filmmaker named Katia Lund basically co-directed it but she’s gotten very little credit. It…
