yendiBeen feeling somewhat down today, mostly a perception (likely false) that every fifty things that I accomplish go unnoticed, but any one thing that gets overlooked leads to neon signs reading "J'accuse" pointing at my head. And I don't even speak French. Nor does anyone else around here.
Fortunately, the internet is full of stuff that's cheerful, or at least snarkable.
1. Because it bears repeating: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Glaze. Anyone who makes these for me will become my new favorite person.
1.5 Speaking of things that sound yummy, how about Cardamom-infused Dark-chocolate Truffles?
2. I know that the last two movies the Wachowski Brothers directed sucked in ways that practically redefined the word "suck," but the Speed Racer Trailer still has me excited.
3. According to the folks at The Vulture, the original Chris Weitz script for The Golden Compass kicked ass. Not so much with the original Tom Stoppard one.
4. Gerard Butler may end up playing Sabretooth in the Wolverine movie. Tonight we dine inhell Canada.
5. Mike Huckabee believes that God is responsible for his success in the polls. Literally.
6. After watching CSI: NY this week, I did some googling, and discovered that I don't hate Criss Angel as much as I thought, not least because of stuff like this.
7. There's a new Wild Cards novel coming out? Yay!
8. Oh, for fuck's sake. A creationist got a job at Wood's Hole, and requested not to work on any projects involving evolution (which meant nothing, other than maybe switching over to the janitorial staff, so he was dismissed when he refused to actually work like, well, a scientist). Now the fuckwad is suing. And working at Liberty University (where they can nicely ignore science). I'm sure that Sherri Shephard is nice and sympathetic to him.
9. Anjelica Huston will have a six-episode run on Medium!
10. Finally, I do the exact same thing as the character in today's XKCD.
