It's Friday, So You Know What That Means...

It's time for Jello and ska!

1. Here's your Jello!


2. And here's your ska!




Happy Weekend!

What Have We Learned So Far This Week?

1. The Crusty Bunker is illegal in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

2. Swim the lake, get a beer!

3. The Cold War was not fought with Nyquil.

4. Hairdressers get tipped a lot better in the U.K.

5. The major difference between the Phony Joker and the Real Joker is that the Real Joker is listed in the telephone book. The Joker enjoys nothing more than a good phone call.

6. In China, tourists who successfully fight the giant baby are revered as gods and get first pick of the new ass hide puppets.

7. Nothing for #7.

8. The Nerd Shoppe is open daily from 12 pm to noon. Except Wednesdays, when it is closed due to lack of interest.

9. Helmets for babies are fine. It's the motorcycles that worry me.

10. The onion is essential. But it must go.

From the Associated Press:

"Holy hooligans! Phony 'Joker' arrested in Michigan"


Um...as opposed to the "real Joker"?

Just Another Night at the Algonquin Roundtable...

Lois: Why did the fisherman sell his soul?

Husband: Because he was out of cod?

Lois: No! For the halibut!

Both: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thank you, thank you. You're a great audience. Try the orange roughy and be sure to tip your waiters.

Geek Public Service Announcements

1. The second to last episode of this season of Doctor Who (“The Stolen Earth”) ends with a huge, HUGE cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see the finale this Friday. BUT…if you’re here in the states and behind on your Who watching and have a bunch of episodes queued up in your DVR…at the end of the episode, when “To Be Continued” flashes on the screen (in the same style as the opening credits), turn off your recording immediately! Stupid, stupid, stupid Sci-Fi channel shows a preview right after that which pretty much gives away what happens next. You have been warned. (Still can’t wait to see how it all turns out but….grrrgh. Stupid Sci-Fi.)

2. This weekend, we watched part of G4’s coverage of Comic Con. There were lots of people having fun dressed up in costumes. But for the love of God, if you have a round head like Charlie Brown, don’t dress like Batman. Batman needs a chin.

Happy Monday!

Drinkin' and Dancin'

1. Right now, I'm drinking a glass of Allan Scott sauvignon blanc. It's cool because (a) it's yummy and (b) it shares the name of the Golden Age Green Lantern (yes, I'm enough of a geek to know the GL is "Alan" Scott, but close enough).



2. A Friday Dance Song, just because I love you all. If I was one of those high tech whiz kids, I'd post a video of Dan-El, clad only in a diaper, pogo-ing and doing fist pumps into the air to this like he was 10 minutes ago, but I'm not. So here's Billy Idol, who's not as cute as Dan-El, but knows how to use the potty. At least, I hope he does.



Happy Friday People!!!!!

Bush or Batman?

Geekapalooza!

So even though it's a little too hot out today for my liking (I'm a spring/fall kinda gal, honestly), and I'm tired (the youngest spawn has been getting up too early most days since switching to a big boy bed), and my left knee has mysteriously started aching again (Arthritis? Gout? Old Age? Who knows….I just hope it isn't the Special Constables)…I've decided that it is a good week to be a geek girl. Why?

1. "The Dark Knight" opens today and looks incredible. Probably won't get to see it this weekend but will wrangle the grandparents into taking the kiddos for a few hours next weekend so the husband and I can go. (Oh, and if you're into the funny books, there's a way cool new miniseries out called "The Joker's Asylum" that doesn't tie into the movie, but is nice companion piece.)

2. Speaking of funny books, Comic Con is next week in San Diego. Nah, we're not going—the kids are too little to be let loose in that kind of insanity yet—but its always good to know it exists. Any of you lot going? If you are, and you might be able to pick up a few things for me (one exclusive and a few freebies I'm interested in), let me know. There's homemade baked goods in it for you.

3. The three-part season finale of "Doctor Who" starts airing here in the U.S. tonight. (Please, no spoilers if you live in a civilized nation that has already aired it.) I'm a little bummed that the season is wrapping up, since it means we won't have any new "Who" until Christmas and then only a few specials until 2010, but I've been going out of my mind waiting to see these episodes. The only thing that has kept me sane this week has been the waaay cool "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog." If you haven't watched it yet, seriously, scroll down to the post below this and go do so now. The first two acts are up, and the third goes live tomorrow, and the free streaming ends on Sunday.

4. I'm in the process of cleaning up my very cluttered home office, throwing out a lot of stuff I don't need (the manual to my office chair? Thanks, but I think I've got it figured out) and finding a lot of cool stuff I'd forgot that I had, like a stack of those oversized treasury editions DC And Marvel used to publish in the 1970s.

Anything getting your geek on?

The Doctor is In!

No, not that Doctor.

This Doctor.



If you have not watched this yet, go watch it NOW. It is brilliant.

What did YOU do today?

I just made a tent out of a shoebox, construction paper, packing tape and a onesie. I feel just like MacGuyver.

Because All The Cool Kids Are Doing It...

Here's what's in my refrigerator today!

Forgive the poor picture angle...when we were putting in the fridge, we stupidly didn't think that it should be properly be positioned for the best photo vantage point. Our bad! And the fuzzy photo quality is due to the fact this was shot with my cell phone camera, because I'm lazy.

You'll see several bottles of Diet Coke on the top shelf, as well as lots of assorted containers of milk. Every house we visited over the weekend had graciously purchased milk to have on hand for our boys--and then sent it home with us because they didn't want to keep it. So who's got milk? We've got milk!

There's also a couple of bottles of wine there, because you need something to chase down all that milk.

On the next shelf, the plastic bag on the far left holds a package of scallops for tonight's supper. This level is also home to a few containers of salsa, some grapes, cottage cheese, mayo and some yogurt. The kiddos love yogurt.

Below that, you'll see more yogurt and berries. I think all that's in the meat drawer is some hotdogs. And the fruit and veggie bins contain a few ears of corn, some carrot sticks, some apples and cherries and lord only knows what else. HItler's head could be in there. This is a good reminder that I need to clean out my fridge.

The door shelves hold eggs, a bunch of condiments, some yummy Hebert's chocolate and various juices and soda pops.

This concludes today's tour of Lois Lane's refrigerator. Happy motoring!
