February 23rd, 2008
My most productive period has been the past hour and a half, in which I used up all the hot water to finish maybe half the dishes there are to do. Nothing says "ewwww" like the water at the bottom of the sink bucket being full of italian dressing and pizza crust. D: Still, I have just replenished the stores of bowls and spoons, and as long as there are bowls and spoons then all is not lost. xD
Now I have to wait for more hot water, either to finish the dishes or take a shower, I'm not sure which I want to do first. Either way, I have to wait, and I'm waiting for the uploads of SGA and Psych, and just, waiting, yes. What I should do while I'm waiting is clean up my room, and the wreck the cats have made of part of it, but I'm not feeling it. I don't feel much of anything in my room except "sleeeeeeeep", anyhow.
I'm going to be up for a while more, is the point here that I'm not making. I'll probably do a music post later-- I'm kind of rocking the Boy Least Likely To and Brand New right now, probably toss up some Mountain Goats, too-- and I'm definitely making some fandomsecrets because, well, it's been a while and I'm sick of all the lame Death Note/Heroes secrets.
KoL update: I scored the Tropical Crimbo tattoo today, and in one or two more days I will have the Roy Orbison Disguise (made of clingfilm!); mid-March will have the Friend to Demons trophy, and then the very first of April I should get the hound dog familiar. I don't know if I'll be ready to ascend by then, but I hope so-- 37 days should be more than enough to climb 7 more levels, once I have nothing to focus on but leveling... which I will in two days. \o/

Iiiiit's link time!
Bob Saget is a funny motherfucker. Here he is singing "Danny Tanner Was Not Gay." It will give you the best lulz of the week, I promise!
Remember the rainbow bookcase? Well, this one is even more awesome! The stairs bookcase has an insane amount of storage, and the steps are big enough to perch on and catch up on some reading if you like-- and it's lit by a skylight! That is SEXY.
Gravity-powered LED lamp wins a Greener Gadget award. The problem is, they're all "oh yeah, the casing will discolor with age and make the blue LED light look more normal... just give it ten or fifteen years." Or, you could put a white LED in it...? Just a thought. It only puts out the equivalent of a 40-watt bulb, too. Also, it's not possible given current technology. Way to go, guys!
Holy crap, it's a semicolon in the NYC subways. And it's not part of a smiley! Well done, Neil Neches.
Yes, We Can (use Gotham). It's a sexy font. I wish I could find it for free. >> That and Avenir. But, excellent use of of a font, Obama campaign!
15 most bizarre animal mating rituals. Some of these are downright freaky! You have been warned. xD
Gambit and Deadpool cast in Wolverine movie. I'm still disappointed they didn't cast Josh Holloway as Gambit-- he would have made an awesome one.
A steak toaster. As in, a toaster for steak. As in, you put a raw piece of steak in, and it pops back up done. HELL YES.
Is the affair scandal just a way to draw attention from McCain's financial misdeeds? Also, how hilarious would it be if there was no viable Republican candidate?
A BABY BEAR IN A SOCK. It will fill your cute quota!
FailDogs, in the vein of LOLcats. I like the one where it runs into a tree!
Gamer risks death to donate part of his liver to save his baby nephew. 1-UP. (oh man, I can't believe I was the first to make that joke)
Finally, the coolest piece of news I have to share: an autistic girl and a laptop computer give a voice to a population previously without one. She's expressing from the inside what it feels like to have autism-- the disconnect between a vital mind and a disobedient body. This breaks my heart for Kelly's little brother-- he's treated like such a moron by his parents, and now-- who knows what's going on inside his head? He's as old as this girl is, but no one is taking the time to figure out what he might have to say.
