This is a link to another blog.

I’m getting ready to run out to orchestra rehearsal (yes it’s that time of year again) and have my trombone in my hand. I just wanted to quickly share this link to an epic METApost. Enjoy! (h/t Kate Harding. Thanks!)

Does the light side really matter?

I hated Episodes I, II, and III of the Star Wars trilogy.

I just think George Lucas did a fantastically terrible job with extraordinarly difficult subject matter. All three of those movies were a damn shame, but this video is so good, it makes me want to watch all three of them again.

(h/t: Living400: thank you! You made my evening!)

March Linky Roundup

5 awesome videos+1 awesome tumblr=Internet SUCCEED.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer (movie trailer for a book=WIN)

Staticky cat v. balloon. Hilarity ensues.

Godzilla+haiku=EPIC WIN

I’m kinda bummed that I don’t have a Sassy Gay Friend.

100,000 paper airplanes thrown from the top of a building is pure magic.

If this doesn’t melt your heart, you are a heartless bastard.

February Link Roundup: Star Wars Edition

February was a great month for Star Wars geekery on the web.

This guy makes amazing Starwars origami from subway tickets.

He found the droid he was looking for (I especially love the hat).

Do you ever wonder what happened to the scrolling Star Wars text?

And lastly, the classic (and AWESOME) Han Solo, PI.

Classic Avoidance Behavior

I need to do at least 3000 words on my NaNo before bed, but I’m procrastinating. I did the dishes. And the laundry. I watched The Daily Show on Hulu while knitting. I goofed around on the internet. I’m updating my blog. Why? I do not know. Hey look, a humorous adult novelty towel.

It’s -2 Vortex of Time Suck.

But SO worth it. Watch The Guild, starring Felicia Day (of Dr. Horrible fame). It’s well written and extremely funny. After you’ve watched all the episodes, be sure to watch the amazing music video “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar”. Yay internet!

Feeling a little off…

Perhaps because of the recent drama we’ve been through here, I’ve been feeling a little down. In addition,

  • I paid $58 for a haircut that made me wish I’d done it myself with a flowbee.
  • Stoopid asthma. I’m going to friend asthma on Facebook just so I can fucking unfriend it. And block it too.
  • I am more angry that I (perhaps) ought to be about the outcome of the Torchwood “Children of Earth” series.
  • The disagree wank* on Ravelry has really gotten to me.
  • This made me cry.

I’m depressed people. Last weekend, we stopped at Hammonasset Beach state park on the way home from the Guilford Art Festival. It made me happy to be near the ocean and was the first time in many weeks that I felt balanced and at peace.** I think a return trip is in order. Besides, the kids had a good time too.

Dig it, yo!

*when somebody on Ravelry whines about their disagree button being clicked. “Whaaa! Why did you disagree with me? You must be a troll!!!”
**well, except that I came home with a sunburn… luckily that healed pretty quickly though. Thank you aloe vera spray-with-lidocaine!
