Movies I Want To See Before I See Avengers (in no particular order): 1. Star Trek Reboot (because I keep meaning to rewatch — again — and I keep not doing it, and because it was epic on the big screen and I want Avengers to be that good, but maybe with a plot that […]

From xkcd’s Ablogalypse: “In about six months, the word ‘Tumblr’ will eclipse ‘Blog’ in Google popularity. I doubt TV anchors will start talking about ‘reactions in the Tumblverse,’ but then again, I still can’t believe we got them to say ‘Blogosphere.’”
So… There I was, wasting time puttering around on the internet, and I followed a link to another link (and so on) and somehow found myself looking at this: (nabbed the pic from amazon) The actual name of this figure is apparently “Big Time Spiderman.” (Or, as Amazon lists it: BIG TIME SPIDER-MAN.) I’d like […]
From a coworker: “Are we listening to country music?” (Answer: YES) From a customer: “Is it safe to drink unpasteurized milk?” (Answer: IT’S LEGAL IN NH, BUT SO ARE FIREWORKS.

As long as I don’t get MORE distracted by tumblr, I may have a relatively productive day off! SUPER […]
We’re doing interviews at my workplace, and part of me is all ‘new thing!’ and part of me is like ‘ugh this is hard.’ So far I have learned that I am not very diplomatic (surprise!). Some things I probably should find a nicer way to express: 1. “We hired an outside person for this […]
First of all, this is a movie about competitive birding. … That was pretty much my reaction. BUT! More specifically, it’s a movie with Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson engaged in competitive birding. Better, right? Although I couldn’t help thinking ‘I’d rather be watching The Avengers’ (man, that movie better be good!), I […]
