Battlestar 9

Far too perfect.

Giddy, Yes, Giddy

I will be buying a Wii or PS3 by September.

Why?

Well, go here and that'll tell you why.

I am giddy.

It'll have a Höfner Bass in the bundle pack.

I am so very giddy.

EDIT: The funny in today's Penny Arcade! has been expanded with this knowledge. (It's possibly very offensive for some people out there. Oh, well.)

Who Was Which Star Wars Character?

An Advance Review of the Final Three Episodes of "Pushing Daisies"

This review gives me hope for a satisfying conclusion to Pushing Daisies (Mildly spoilerish).

alternate alternate universe.

It always bothers me a little when someone claims that a fiction is set "in an alternate universe," because every fiction is. That's a common way to describe Watchmen though. I guess an "alternate universe" has to have some sort of physical or historical pivot point. Like: If you put on a costume and work out a bunch, you can be a bad-ass; let's explore this. Or: Nixon is awesome, lets make him President for life; what would that be like? Or how about: Sam Hamm writes a screenplay for Watchmen in 1989; what would that movie have been like? (not good)

How To Make a Baby

Cole, my darling son, this is exactly how.

Be sure to convince your sister of it when she comes along, too.

Schadenfreude Pie

My friend Hannah just instructed me to look up Schadenfreude Pie. MOST excellent.

It’s the world’s first Schadenfreude Pie, the pie to enjoy while you are reveling in the horrible misfortunes of others. Why is there a Schadenfreude Pie? Because after I wrote the headline for this entry, I wondered to myself, “what would Schadenfreude Pie taste like?”

My guess: Dark. Rich. And oh so bittersweet.

And you know what? That’s exactly what it tastes like. Also — and this is really just a perfect but unintentional extension of the whole schadenfreude metaphor — you really only want a small slice; too much of this pie and it’ll sit in the pit of your stomach like a rock of judgment, pulling you down. Small slice? Excellent. Big slice? You’ll regret it. Just like schadenfreude itself.

Thanks, Hannah!
