Hey Sis, at least Penn wasn’t a THIRTEEN-POUNDER!

I think I might have to order the Snook a Polonium-210 Coffee Mug for Christmas.

Holy crap! And just like that, NaBloPoMo is OVER. I’m proud to say that I didn’t miss a single day. My only close call was Saturday the 25th, when I actually had to jump up drunkenly from a picnic table and commandeer Major’s computer in desperation. I made it though! Now I’m just hoping I win a prize… *fingers crossed*

I’m a little sad I didn’t get mentioned in the W review though.

I’m utterly fascinated by the Alexander Litvinenko murder. This former Russian spy was murdered with polonium-210, which is apparently highly radioactive and really hard to come by. On his death bed, Litvinenko blamed Russian President Putin for the poison. Now they’re discovering that the poor guy left traces of radioactivity all over London before he died, and they’ve now detected it on a couple airplanes as well. Does this read like a John Le Carre novel or what?

Geek Socks, including Super Breakout and Apple intarsia patterns. Nice.

I was just reading Kevin Smith’s Celebrity Playlist and I got to his paragraph about James’s “Laid”, and HEY! He got married in the Little White Wedding Chapel too! All the cool kids get hitched there.

The Snook and I are already planning our celebration for Repeal Day. Only one week to go!

My love for ugly shoes knows no bounds. Thanks to a tip from Lissa at work, I discovered that Rebel Sport in the Mid City Centre carries the new Crocs Mary Janes. They even have a few more colours than the official website lists, including moss green and candy pink. I actually wanted the black, but they didn’t have my size. So red it is!

What music videos “rip off” famous movies? I am embarrassed to admit that I, too, immediately thought of Paula Abdul’s “Rush, Rush.”

Fascinating. I just found an analysis of the Japanese “Mac vs. PC” ads and it turns out that they’re actually really different from the “Western” version. The discussion of the body language and different cultural norms is really interesting. The Mac guy is cool because he’s reserved and he doesn’t acknowledge how dorky the PC guy is, even when PC guy oversteps his personal boundaries. Oh, and the Mac guy is hot.
