Random stuff that I like and a few ways to waste time. Stephen Fry blogs about language. Otto the octopus wreaks havoc. Cath at The Canberra Cook keeps posting recipes which I read and think “Must cook that” (but because I’m incredibly lazy when it comes to cooking I have yet to try any of them). Her Christmas Cake sounds fabulous, I should have started it several weeks ago…. I’m not sure just how much of the periodic table I’d have been able to fill in back in the days of university chemistry lectures but I do know that the … Continue reading Link-fest No.8

Feel like reading something silly? There’s a new post up on yogabeans! A review of Deadwood on Heroine Content. Train your goldfish with a training kit from ThinkGeek. Ninja cat comes closer without moving PhysioProf and Dr Isis are engaged in a recipe war. I find it oddly compelling. The Vorkosigan Companion will be mine. My lovely friend Susan has a new blog featuring cats and vegan food porn for your reading pleasure. And lastly, The Rotund has managed to convince me that taking the kids to Disneyland/Disney World might not be a completely terrible idea. Caitlin will be ever … Continue reading Link-fest No. 6
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
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
