Give a day, get a Disney Day →
Starting in January 2010, the Disney parks will give you a free one-day park pass in exchange for you spending one day volunteering with one of the participating organizations.
I think this is kind of a neat way to get people involved. Yeah, a lot of people will do their one day, get their ticket and forget about it. But that one day of service could really inspire some people to keep...
Tired of fighting with CS4, I took a break and...

Pilots needed to defend the universe. (Earth)
Pilots needed for group of universal defenders. I am in desperate need for four pilots to help with my new planetary defense force endeavor. This is a (hopefully) long-term gig. I have invented five robotic lions which are able to combine together to form a (larger) giant space robot. I intend to use these giant robots to defend earth...
Happy Motherfucking Monday
Checking my bank account online this morning I discovered a couple of unfamiliar charges. Called my bank and sure enough, the phone representative transferred me to the fraud department. The charges are being treated as fraud, which means they shut down my debit card. Which means no debit card, no ATM. Until they send me a new card, I’m paying by check or credit card. Joy.
On top of that, I...
YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
Detroit Lions just won their first game in over a year! I’m not normally a Detroit fan or even a football fan, really, but I always want to root for the underdog and I just felt so damn BAD for those guys. So YAY! Go Lions!
A Note on Belief in Evolution.
thedailywhat:
Unlike religion or some intangible philosophy, evolution is not for you to “believe” or “disbelieve” in. The statement “I don’t believe in evolution” is an empty one as evolution, again, unlike religion, is not something that requires your belief in order to be true. Similarly, to say “I believe in evolution” is to suggest that evolution is somehow dependent upon your conviction. It...

(608): Anywhere you can eat green eggs and ham, you can have sex.
That whole “in a box, with a fox” line takes on a whole different meaning in this light.
hahahaha I hadn’t thought of that when I posted this, actually. Also totally relevant considering I’m thinking of being Maru-cat for Halloween, and would, therefore, be in a...

“In the last days of her life, Annabel Kitzhaber had a decision to make: she could be the tissue-skinned woman in the hospital with the tubes and the needles, the meds and smells and the squawk of television. Or she could go home and finish the love story with the man she’d been married to for 65 years.”
At age 88, with a weak heart, and tests that showed she most likely...
Inside beats the heart of a 15-year-old girl.

Thanks to the best co-worker EVER (read her PR blog here), yours truly is the ticket holder to the SYTYCD show this Thursday in Newark! For free! In a suite!! I can’t wait to see (insert Cat Deeley voice) - It’s Jeanine! It’s Brandon and It’s Jeannette! In that order.
Hooray for amazing co-workers, amazing dancers and free tickets to stuff.
Gah! Way jealous.

Beth likes to play alongside me (read: watch me play from the other sofa) because she’s genuinely interested in the plot, and she said she enjoys figuring out the riddles.
Yes, Batman: Arkham Asylum is Girlfriend Approved(TM)
josh and i played/beat this a little while back, and we both agree with everything on this list. especially in that i sat next to him...
Batman: Arkham Asylum
spytap:
Is definitely GOTY material.
Feels like Super Metroid with Batman playing Samus (this is a good thing.)
Is tremendously solid in gameplay, controls, execution, atmosphere, character, and overall fun.
Has the best melee combat system I’ve played in a LONG time.
Sucked up almost 5 hours of my life this afternoon.
Was an awesome birthday present from my little brother. (Thanks dude!)

Get Out of Jail Free →
During WWII, Monopoly and other board games that were “donated” to British POWs were actually escape kits, complete with files, money and a map. Pretty cool.

Today is National Cheeseburger Day. National. Cheeseburger. Day.
A day to celebrate that perfect melding of ground, seasoned, grilled meat, melted cheese and toasted bun. And if I don’t get one, I’m going to be very, very cranky.
But the real question is, where shall I celebrate? The Counter? 25 Degrees? Umami Burger? So many choices, only one Cheeseburger Day.

I just love the Whole Foods prepared foods bar
You just walk up, tell the nice man what ingredients you would like, and he makes you a fresh, tasty burrito the size of your head. I cut it in half and save the second half for lunch tomorrow. Double lunch win!
WatchOhhh nooo! But Dad’s a really good sport about it.
The Creepiest Apartment in Glendale Ever →
chriscantwell:
Maybe the creepiest ever. It had me at “decadent Moroccan tent.”
The reason it’s avaialble for rent is that the vampires that lived there have finished feeding off the old tenants. This isn’t an apartment listing, it’s grocery shopping.
I love days like today...
…days when I can look my competitors in the eyes and very sweetly tell them to suck it.
SUCK IT!!!!
I am a little competitive when it comes to work. :)
