Wednesday stuff

Busy day today. Including a phone meeting in twenty minutes.

1. More Wikipedia follies over at Making Light.

2. In spite of the fact that the state's AG says that violates state law, many Tennessee schools still intend to continue with random drug testing. Why? Because, "we feel it gives kids another reason to say no - they can't do drugs because they may be tested." Might I also suggest that they chain kids to their desks, which is an effective deterrent to roughhousing and running in the halls?

3. John Maine hit a homer! Woo! He also pitched pretty damned well. Although it was against the Pirates.

4. Holy shit! Creative Loafing bought the Chicago Reader!

5. A few years ago, I got shadesong a jewelry armoire. Turns out I could have gotten her a Craftsman Tool Chest for only five times the price (and ten times the romance).

6. Narcissa Malfoy = Naoimi Watts. Didn't see that one coming.

7. That awesome series finale of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law? Watch it online!

8. I have a new Tegan and Sarah album and you (probably) don't! But you should, as it's awesome.

9. $1 off any Mountain Dew Smoothie at Cold Stone Creamery. The only drawback is that you end up stuck with a Cold Stone Creamery smoothie.

10. Finally, Patton Oswalt on his favorite book of all time.

Mega Amazon TV/Animation/Anime sales!

Amazon's got a few huge-ass sales:

1. First, there's the Fox TV Sale, with a ton of 40-60% off season sets, including X-Files, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Remington Steele, and other good stuff.

2. Then, there's the "Ginormous Animation Sale," broken up into:

A. Anime. This one includes 40-55% off Naruto, Trinity Blood, Solty Rei, Helsing, Oh My Goddess, Ranma, and others. 159 items total.

B. Comic Book/Superheroes. 50% and more off Justice League, Batman Beyond, Batman; TAS, and others. The 60% off Justice League was enough for me. There are 58 items in this part of the sale.

C. Finally, there's the Adult Swim/Adult Animation section. This one includes Sealab at 57% off off for four seasons, and good discounts on Harvey Birdman, Inuyasha, both series of Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Bleach (yay!), and Flame of Recca.

(Yes, there's anime in multiple categories. Go figure.)
