Started trying out the cake recipes and they’re turning out amazing! For the holidays, I made a chocolate layer cake with chocolate raspberry frosting and it was delicious!

Think it might be a reference to this gem 😛 Caught it on the MST3K marathon some years ago 😀

Yep, it’s the best song Futurama has ever done. It’s wonderful!

Lovely! Seriously need to watch that show!

A Zoidberg a day keeps the doctor away! 😀 Of course, he’s not a very good doctor 😛

Chasing up a distant relative on Facebook regarding the family tree, and pasted the Gramps link in the message body. The link icon in the posted Facebook message resolved as Zoidberg. There’s no doubt he’ll be thinking twice about reaching out to this rather wonky end of the tree. 😀

Yep! I really enjoy the awfulness of them 😛 About ten years ago, I watched The Star Wars Holiday Special. It was quite memorable, especially when the Wookiees were given the equivalent of porn 😛

Yeah, I really need to watch Portlandia one of these days!

Eventually, I’ll get back to anime and other stuff. Don’t know when but I will!

Oh, didn’t mean they didn’t have any just that I already read it all! 😛

Looks like Kobo may have changed their terms so that free public-domain works are no longer in the eBook store. Fortunately, the Kobo devices allow one to easily sideload files just like a USB drive so I’ll probably do that if the library access doesn’t come back soon. Being…[Read more]

Still on the slashers? Nothing like that over here – FTA did play a rerun of The Negotiator which rates for me a fair bit more than RT & others. Particularly for the pace and storyline, so recommended.
Also streaming Something Undone, a fictional account of a true crime podcast duo sounding more interesting than it actually is.
Here’s some more…[Read more]

Classic! Don’t blame me, blame my upbringing- would that hold any water in defence of litigation? 😛
Mr Squiggleman is mighty impressive:

No sci-fi whatsoever at Gutenberg – How does that work?
It’s true the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) has cropped up, you know, in recent actions, did you know of the coincidence of that acronym and Rico in Little Caesar (1930)?

It’s that time again!

My annual Futurama rewatch 😀

Haven’t seen Santa v Martians in a decade but, as I recall, he simply teaches them a holiday lesson. I had an old writeup on the Lab about it so we’ve got it in the vault! It was horrendous 😛

Nope, haven’t seen it. When it came out, I had just started my TCM phase so I missed it (along with a lot of other films released since :P). Will try to…[Read more]

They also have mice with a thumb trackball, giving you a combination. Would be pretty cool in games!

I don’t do well with touchpads. My fingers are so rough that they wear off the coating in a month making them very difficult to use thereafter 😛

Yep! Spiders would also be a good fit! Lots of potential uses for such a device!

Yeah, they use…[Read more]

Once used a trackball back in the nineties, do remember that, like the touchpad it required absolutely not one speck of grease or sweat in the works or it was back to cleaning. Did like it for a while before it started to wear out, as did the touchpad, with the consequence of losing precision in movement. Which was enough to want to move back to…[Read more]

A trackball may help as well, assuming one can find it these days. I’m sure they exist as they’re still pretty popular in the art and design fields 🙂

Could be fun to use it to scan random things around the home, such as ink pens or even a sandwich 😛

Cool! One of these days, we probably need to get a thread on books going. 🙂

Right now, it’s a…[Read more]

The Mythbusters are fantastic in everything they say and do, which of course becomes tedious if one hearkens to content which isn’t so fantastic. Like me, and maybe others, she is not a fan of tastic in excess. 😛
Have you seen The Golden Compass? No problems with motifs, acting or cinematography, just a very awkward translation of the stunning…[Read more]

Do switch hands with the mouse which seems to relieve onset RSI, even with these so-called and new-fangled ergonomic verminous breeds. 🙂

Have any brickplication ideas?

“Fit as a Baker’s Dog” was a book by Sean Lock made just for 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but it was never published!

Sorry! Been a bit preoccupied with catching up on sleep and pouring over the site’s update issues 😛

The list for 100% is much longer! I’m also a fan of this article 😀

The Death Wish films had very similar plots, too! Probably need to watch them again just to make a more modern critique 😛

Sounds terrible. Of course, that means I need to watch…[Read more]
