Guide Horses: quite possibly the cutest thing you have ever seen. Really. (Update: I just noticed that the horses are indeed wearing little tiny shoes. Oh.. oh.. too cute.. brain.. melting..) (found at lukelog)

Okay, so, wait — where was I? Oh right.. under the covers watching lots of crap movies and feeling generally flu-ish. For the record:
Pitch Black – Nice directing, not entirely laughable script, eeeeeeevil monsters, and Vin Diesel (something of a hottie)
Keeping the Faith – Edward Norton, Ben Stiller, should be much better than it actually is
Blair Witch 2 – Not as bad as I thought it would be, but, oh my, not good.

Apparently you only have a 75% chance of correctly making a paper hat from these instructions. Good luck. (Do you recognize this link? I lifted it from a weblog, and I can’t remember which. Actually, it might have been Lake Effect, but even if it wasn’t you should still go ooh and aah at Dan’s shiny new table-less layout.)

“If bad zombies eat behavior, and good zombies eat qualia, and all zombies eat brains and programs, it seems, at first glance, that zombies destroy all.” I have absolutely no idea what this fellow is talking about, but it does make me wish I wrote more essays about zombies in university. (Possible subject: “Evil Dead in Jane Eyre, or why Mrs. Rochester should have turned out to be a brain-eating zombie“)

As anyone who has known me in person can attest to (Hi Mom), I have a tendency to leave a swath of fruit stickers where ever I go, preferably stuck to the walls. In any case, while I’ve been short-sightedly committing minor vandalism with my stickers, others have their collections online.

On Saturday I made the only somewhat-frivolous purchase of a Handspring Visor Platinum. This time last year (and most of my adult life) I probably couldn’t have afforded a pack of batteries. Now I own a piece of wireless technology. It has been a very, very strange year.
(Jess has the flu, and will try to be back tomorrow with links to soothe the savage reader. As well, Jess realizes that she was bragging just a wee bit above, but has decided to write off the whole sordid incident to her high fever. Thank you, and good day.)

Okay, so every Canadian knows what “Crappy Tire” refers to, but if you were the company in question, would you argue that the phrase was “a kind of loveable nickname that Canadians have for us,” and sue crappytire.com for trademark infringement? Bahaha.. me neither.

Did y’all watch “Boot Camp” this week? I happened to catch it for the first (and last) time, and nearly burst something laughing at the oh-so-military round of Pictionary, later followed by a yummy sushi dinner. I’m thinking that Fox meant to name the show “Summer Camp,” but realized at the last minute that it wouldn’t be as catchy. (Possible Plotline: The swim race is cancelled after the campers get poison ivy! Oh no!)

In the last week someone searched Pith multiple times for any info on Silent Bob costumes. (I’m assuming it’s the same person, because the idea of a posse of Silent Bob costume creators-to-be all suddenly visiting at the same time is a little concerning.) Anyway, eager to please as usual, I give you instructions on looking like Jay and Silent Bob. (Hint: Beard. Trenchcoat. Don’t speak. That is all.)
