This one came to me via an AIM chat with a fellow Entercom slav– er, employee. Be warned, it’s mean and violent though not truly graphic. The ideas are disturbing… and funny.
Oh yeah, and don’t try this at home, as it were.

Because almost everyone else is doing it, I figured I might as well get on the blogrolling bandwagon. Besides, it makes easier the task of adding sites to the Blogs of Note. (I was doing the database entries by hand. Yes. I know. Go ahead and laugh at my puny programming skills.)
So now the Blogs of Note is powered by blogrolling.com. Now only that, but there’s a cute little RecipRoll widget to show some of the sites that have your favorite little grey duck on their blogrolls. Neat, wot?
While I’m here, allow me to point out a couple of new additions to the list. Bears Cave came via Captain Rooba (and the NaNo event), and I found Annessa.net while visiting The People’s Republic of Seabrook.
Last and certainly not least, there’s Ball and Chain. My wife finally couldn’t stand the weight of jealousy she felt at all of the attention I receive via this website, so now she’s got one of her very own. Pay her a visit, make her feel welcome. Maybe we can shift the balance of jealousy in my household… *grin*
Thanks to #!/usr/bin/girl for leading me to the site where I could discover that I share a birthday with Pixie Misa.
Who, you ask? Pixie Misa of Pretty Sammy fame. Never heard of her, you say? That’s alright, that just means you’re not an anime geek like me. Don’t worry about it.
Anyway, check the link below to find out which anime characters you share a birthday with. You know you’re just dying to find out. I know it. You can’t fool me.
And later today I’ll explain why I’m writing an incoherent journal entry at 8am at work after being awake for over 24 hours. Yeah. And go read last night’s NaNo novel excerpt okay?

I hereby present an amusing and mildly interesting article-of-sorts that Neil Gaiman himself describes as, “a funny polemic, and a fine warning against laziness in plotting.”
He then adds, “Not sure it’s of much use beyond that, nor that it was meant to be.” I got a few good laughs out of it, though. It’s a lucky thing for us all that Stephen Donaldson got much, much better once he got all those atrocious Covenant books out of his system.
