Reading Update
Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh. Very good collection of Brosh’s clever, insightful, and sometimes poignant comics. I was disappointed that the collection didn’t contain the brilliant “alot” comic, but perhaps there will be a less autobiographical collection available in the future.
“Hello, bird!! I will stare at you!!” -Mayhem
“You see what I have to put up with?! That is absolutely a leaf, not a bird.” -Chaos
At least Mayhem has entertainment. Chaos, don’t be a grinch.
Russian Tea Cookies! Love!
A recent post from margene..Wednesdays are for Yarning Along
You got me at chicken vaginas.
The novelist error messages were great, too.
A recent post from Cheryl S…Darn it all
Torn between having a paper copy of Hyperbole and a Half or a digital copy. I have a color reader so I’d get the full graphic awesomeness, tough decision!
Yay Mr Darcy stuff
1. My goodness, there are a *lot* of Sugru-haters on Lifehacker.
B. Reading is my superpower, too.
iii. Glacier National Park may need to be renamed because global warming.
d. I want that Aeropresso coffeemaker thingie from ThinkGeek. Yes, I do.
V. That LAPD video is one of the better amateur videos I have ever seen. Probably one of the better things that that police department has done in recent memory.
6. We used to have a cat, don’t remember which one, that did the squirrel-sitting-up post a lot. Goofy.
Loved Darcy’s inner struggles!
It’s flippin cold here, too. I think it’s cold everywhere right now, and it’s not even officially winter yet. *whines*
I think I may need to make some pumpkin spice lip balm before I run out of pumpkin spice 🙂
