(may not make sense if you didn't see the Oscars on Sunday - check http://angelinajolieing.tumblr.com/post/18363705915, http://angelinajolieing.tumblr.com/post/18363715144)

Pictures of people in their bathrobes or whatever, meh. A few of the photomanips are actually kinda funny, though.

From the plutonica.net blog, this sounds interesting:

Over at Rune Soup Gordon introduced a book game with the following guidelines:

How would you introduce someone to magic using only books? He or she has a month in a lake house and will read whatever you tell them in the exact order that you tell them to. Not even any peeking at other books on the list.

I'll have to think about my own response, but in the meantime I'm interested in yours. Feel free to exapnd a bit from "magic" per se into your personal spiritual path or whatever. (Note that the books certainly need not strictly be on such topics; Psyche's take started out with Baudelaire.)

If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do?

from nytemuse:

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist er, since "friending me" would make more sense? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head? Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!

Apparently I got the wireless mouse I am using right now. Wow, was it that long ago?

No posts. On 7/5/06 I was applying for jobs in Ontario.

7/3/05
No posts. On 7/1/05 I posted a link to a cool APOD picture and talked about my net worth. (That post is filtered to a small subset; sorry if you can't see it.) After the big spend-fest that was moving to Canada and back in 2006 and having no job for eight months that year, it's taken me three years to recover to the same point. Almost exactly three years, in fact; last month I again crossed the same threshold mentioned in that post.

Burbling about American and Canadian citizenship tests.

7/3/03
No posts. On 7/2/03 a boring sooper seekrit message to tyrsalvia about some CDs I left at her house.

7/2/02
No posts. I started this journal in April 2002 but the posting is pretty spotty until December 2002. There aren't any posts at all July-September.

The idea is to go here: http://longboredsurfer.com/charts.php, and for every year you were in high school, pick your favorite then and now, and also the worst one.

Whoops, I mised out worst. Ah well; this is already kinda too long.

So there you have it. Note the trend of continual decrease in the currency of my knowlege about pop music. It didn't stop there, which is why I just don't get most of Weird Al's last two albums.

I gave a gift to someone else who posted one of these (shh, you know who you are), so I figure it's okay to post, even if I feel kind of funny about it.
