I SWEAR posts are coming. I’ve taken pictures and everything. It’s just I have had this migraine for a couple days and I fell behind on everything else and excuse, excuse, excuse…no pity flowing in…nothing…alright then, to tide you over here are some of the things that have made me happy today.
First, ReaderCon 2009 is coming up in MA very soon. I’ll be going. I hope I’ll learn more about publishing, it’s a science fiction convention for writers. 
I don’t have any cats at the moment, but if I did you can bet they’d be blowing my dog to imaginary bits in the cardboard tank. The good folks down at Think Geek never disappoint. (Oh, and James you have fallen on the dork food chain. This month’s advert has a Blue Violet Laser Pointer. Your Green Laser Pointer is sooooo 2008 darlin’, you might as well have a red one now.)
And just in case my readers were wondering, “Gosh, I wonder if they have a sonic screwdriver to go with the Doctor Who scarf she’s been knitting forever,” shah, they do.
Amy over at World of Mod Podge has a love of all things glued, reused, and reinvented that rivals no other. She trolls the blog-o-verse for the best of what’s out there in the world of modern decoupage and combines it into a very easy to navigate blog. Seriously go check her site out, tons of great ideas and links to fabulous new blogs. If you’re not gluing SOMETHING by the end of your visit you’re dead to inspiration.
James, look away. So ‘Bake Decorate Celebrate’ on the Create Channel, (it’s on Public Access people, follow along) showed a SUPER simple German Chocolate Cake For Two recipe with no pesky coconut to mess with his one food allergy. (Damn that allergy! I love coconut.) But just look at this cake!!! This will make an appearance at some point. Click on the picture to get to the recipe.
On the laughing my Ass Off front check out this YouTube video of Darth Vader doing Thriller.
And last but not least, for rich bored dorks. You too can go on a SciAm sponsored cruise. Bright Horisons 6 is accepting reservations now…don’t miss your chance!
