Tesla Coil vs. Birdcage Man

Literary Oddities

An interesting collection of really bizarre books.  A lot of the titles made me laugh.  I don't understand the need for a book of naughty connect-the-dots.  And apparently there really was a Soldier Bear.  Badass of the Week, indeed.

3 Universal Truths of Law and Order

Here's a list of 3 universal truths of Law and Order.  OMG, I love me some Law and Order.  My memory is so terrible that I can watch reruns of the show and still not remember who the killer was.  Did you know that Amy Sedaris had a very small guest part on SVU?  Um, yeah.

Me and my robot

Would you like to have your very own robot doppelganger?  Oh hell to the no!  (Like I could afford one, anyway.)

Faerie Tale Theatre on Hulu

I have the series on DVD, but if YOU haven't seen Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, you have to go to Hulu and watch it RIGHT NOW.  That show had the best guest stars.  Seriously.  It's still enchanting after all these years. 

Mashing up George Washington with Lady Gaga

Making the dollar go GaGa.

And if you haven't seen it yet, check out her royal variety performance.  I love that piano.

Cooking in Space

What is it like to cook food in space?  Read the online cooking journal of astronaut Sandy Magnus to find out.  I have a hard enough time cooking on Earth.

More book reviews

I have two new book reviews over at Stacked.  Here are my reviews for Another Day in the Frontal Lobe and Carrie Fisher's memoir called Wishful Drinking.

Merry Christmas '09

Have a merry Christmas, everybody!  I know this picture isn't very Christmasy, but I love the she'll-cut-a-bitch look Bette is rocking in this picture.

Daycare Divas

I will so be watching this show on TLC called Daycare Divas.  Name-tags were the least of my worries on my very first day of teaching kindergarten.  It really doesn't take that long to learn 20 kids names (especially the ones who like to misbehave).  However, it is sometimes hard to just ask a kid to tell you their name because there's either a language barrier (at least in my area) or they're REALLY shy and refuse to talk.  I think it would be fun to run a daycare.
