Blue milk is hosting this month’s edition of the Down Under Feminists Carnival and she has done a fabulous job. I was slightly disconcerted, and then inordinately pleased, to discover my kids and my garden have been included – it’s a nice boost after a hard week, thank you to whoever submitted my posts 🙂 Continue reading Down Under Feminists Carnival Sept 08
A food meme from Very Good Taste. “Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food – but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.” Here’s what to do: 1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, … Continue reading The Omnivore’s Hundred
Another random collection of stuff. The world’s most bad-ass grotesques and gargoyles in a post on deputydog. I’m insanely jealous of Kate’s new favorite form of exercise. Lois McMaster Bujold has finished chapter 5 of the new Miles book, yes, I’m tragic, I know. *is in love with a fictional character and can’t wait for a new fix* John Scalzi is evil and Wil Wheaton is a good sport. The Guild Season 1 DVD is available. It’s awesome. You should watch it and possibly buy it. Continue reading Link-fest No. 5
Another random collection of stuff to read. The August edition of the Down Under Feminists Carnival is up at Audrey and the Bad Apples. One of the reasons I’m not watching the Olympics (or watching very little anyway): Lauredhel at Hoyden About Town posts on women athletes’ uniforms. The 2008 Hugo Awards results have been announced. Check out Tor.com, there’s short stories, news and a community to join. There’s a new Serenity comic on-line at MySpace Dark Horse Presents. And finally, who would ever have imagined there were so many possible Zombie Rhymes? lilacsigil contributed one of my favourites: Who … Continue reading Link-fest No.4
Meme time again, Heather‘s to blame for this one. 1. What is his name?Adam 2. Who eats more?I’m not sure, probably about the same for most things. 3. Who said, “I love you” first?Him.

Who is taller?Him. 5. Who drives most when you are out together?He does, because he likes driving and I don’t care either way. 6. Who is … Continue reading Him

Eve tagged me for this one. What were you doing ten years ago? I was pregnant with Caitlin. I was at home with 15 month old David and aside from going horse riding with friends every 2nd week (yep, I rode till about 6 months with my first 2 pregnancies, we’d given up by the time Tom came along), I didn’t have much contact with anyone outside family. I’d become quite friendly with my next door neighbour, who was pregnant with twins and due about a month after me, which was nice. Adam had just started working at a new … Continue reading Getting to know you
From an article at EW – Dr Horrible: An oral history Fillion That is my friend PJ Haarsma. I called him up and I said ”Can you make me a thing? That looks like a thing?” Twenty minutes later he says, ”Check out this website. You can call it up on your iPhone and you have a Dr. Horrible van remote.” At Comic-Con, I’m going to release the Website that has the Dr. Horrible van remote. It’s a lovely article full of fun stuff from Joss, Felicia, Nathan, Neil, Jed and Maurissa, go read the lot. ETA: Dr Horrible van … Continue reading And here was me thinking I’d never want to own an iPhone
This guy here? Doesn’t look even the littlest bit evil. I’m sorry, I think Dobber was miscast, he gave a completely unconvincing performance and we didn’t even get to hear the infamous whinny…KIDDING! Dobber was brilliant, there should have been more of him. I’m so in love with Bad Horse, wonder if he needs any more henchmen? *refrains from getting too spoilerific till I’m sure everyone’s had a chance to see Act 3* It’s two “r”s. ETA: Right, that’s long enough to wait. ARRRRRRGH! She got Jossed! And I totally didn’t see it coming. Which means I am a very … Continue reading Get a pic! Do a blog!
