The picture says it all

Is there such a thing as too cute? I’m not sure whether to mock it or hug it…

The kitty that has it all now even has her own airline…ok not really, but I can see it happening one day. More info at the offficial “EVA Kitty” web site (warning: it’s flash-intensive)

If you’re not watching Rome, you’re not watching the absolute best show on tv. There’re scores of web sites with much much better info about the show than I could possibly provide, so I’ll just give you my random thoughts:
Why are so many characters…familiar?
Brutus: Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.
Doogie Howser as Gaius Octavian?
Sarek–I mean Caesar is *so* da’ man!
How did Mr. Bean sneak into the senate? (Yes, I’m talking to you, Cicero)
Cleopatra is some smokin’ hot waif model…wow…

And finally…with all the amazing actors and especially actresses…who’s my favorite character?

Yes, I think the newsreader rules! (Too bad for the life of me I couldn’t find a picture of him as the newsreader. You get stuck with the pic from Dune, for now.)

Reality, meet fiction. Fiction, meet reality. We’ve actually gone and invented transparent aluminum! Scotty would be proud!

I love Japan and all the vending machines. This web site has pictures and descriptions of some of the wacky things you can buy from vending machines, from vegetables, to Hello Kitty popcorn. And yes, there’s even a picture of a fabled “school girl panties” vending machine!

awesome! here’s a page off “sound effect” words.

example: Physical Exertion sounds: EEEEYAAAAH, GGGRRRRAAA, GGGRRRR, HHEYUUHHHH, HHHRURRR, MMMPPPHHHHH, MMMWWAAA, MMMWWWUUHH, NNGHHH, RRRRAAAAAAA

now you can see everything in your purse, even in the dark! you can even charge your cell phone, with this solar powered purse!

i recently saw this photo from japanwindow.com, a nice photo blog of a photographer in japan, which reminded me of my “wall o’ coffee” post from way back when. very well done (the japanwindow pic, not my wall o’ coffee snapshot)

i’m really…speechless…introducing…the skirt-that-changes-into-a…vending machine?!
