Thanks Again, Dooce!

My fave blog, dooce, posted this fantastic video today. You should definitely watch it, especially if you do anything on the internet that involves comments.

Re-Posting an Old One

I thought this old post deserved revisiting, along with some updates! Some of the links might be broken--I apologize in those cases, but I'm too lazy to go through them all. :)

Bread and Circuses

Well...I don't know exactly what my bread is. I guess my lunch break. But here are some ways I entertain myself all day. Check them out. And check back, I'll keep updating the list.

http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/ - NEW! Courtesy of Amy, full of cute things!
http://www.freerice.com - NEW! Courtesy of Becky, which I haven't tried yet!
http://games.yahoo.com - I recommend JT's Blocks.
http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.htm - I recommend Hexic, Bespelled and Word Mojo.
http://weirdweb.net/hints/ - Links to fun games, and hints too! Try Samorost. Also La Piedra de Anamara. First one is fun, second one is creepy!
http://www.albartus.com/motas/ - Fantastic, but it there's always a long wait for new levels.
http://www.albartus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=308 - Links to some more games; the ones I like best will be posted here, but try the others if you're bored.
http://normandcompany.com/STICKMAN/ - Endearingly bad graphics and fun mystery!
http://www.stickee.co.uk/stickee/index.html - Slight mystery, games, great graphics!
http://www.questfortherest.com/ - Interesting music, cute graphics; short but fun.
http://www.neopets.com - Corny, but lots of fun games and cute pets. It could suck you in.
http://www.snood.com - Shame on you if you've never heard of Snood!!
http://www.thepolyphonicspree.com/main2.html - Some fun stuff hidden in here. :)


Also:
http://www.jesusoftheweek.com - NEW! I'm not sure why this wasn't up here before, it's awesome.
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ - Check out the banned books section! This is great if you need to look like you're doing work, or at least not look like you're totally goofing off on a game site somewhere. But no good if you can't read the screen for long periods of time, these are full books.
http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/indexsnt.htm - Maybe I'm the only one who finds this entertaining--but I doubt it.

Go! Play! Be merry!

Yay New Tat!

Happy Halloween / Veterans' Day! I got a new tattoo! Clearly the upper arm is the place to get tattoos, I hardly felt it at all.





And no, it's not a brain, even though it looks like one. It's a turtle shell, and the lines in the middle make a stylized version of the kanji for "kame" (turtle in Japanese). Here's what "kame" looks like normally, just for fun:

Of course, the photo is backwards...which is so weird, I still never quite get the hang of things being backwards in photos. On my actual arm, it's the right way 'round.
