Et tu, Pal? Then fall, Pac-Man!
For the drama, Shakespeare and literature folks.

If you were stuck in an Office Max during a full scale vampire attack, what would you use as a weapon?
Even if you don’t care about comics, read it for the answer to the question: “If you were stuck in an Office Max during a full scale vampire attack, what would you use as a weapon?”
You’re who you know
On Facebook You Are Who You Know
When you’re living on the internet at the start of the millennium, you’re who you know. (With apologies to Rent.)

Critics take on Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies
Favorite quote from the round-up: “For some, Love Never Dies is “Paint Never Dries”, and for others the composer is at his musical best. I tend to agree with both factions.”

If you've been watching Lost, these are great. If you haven't, they probably won't make much sense. (Kind of like the show itself, come to think of it….)

Crews work to repair landslide damage to San Dimas roads
Weird: I saw the aftermath of this landslide yesterday morning around 9:15, but couldn't see that it was blocking the connectors on the other side. I figured it had happened in the last few days, not half an hour earlier!

I just realized I’ve been misreading a series of spam subjects for the past week. It’s “We have 78 *vacancies* in your area and want to invite you to become one of these selected few,” not “We have [x] *vaccines*…” That makes a *lot* more sense!

What's the most mis-targeted ad you've gotten on Facebook? I just got one for a girls' summer camp (no kids) in Vermont (I live in California). I think the worst-targeted I've seen were the dating sites FB used to show me even though they knew I was married.

Animation of the Earth without clouds over the course of a year. The advancement and retreat of snow during winter in the Northern Hemisphere is the most dramatic, but the shift from green to brown and back in the tropics and temperate areas is also interesting.

Today’s WTF: There’s ONE CENT left on the balance for my student loan. Monday’s auto-payment should have finished it off, but I guess there was a rounding error when they calculated the amount. I *could* wait another month for the next auto-pay cycle, but I figured I’d just send them the $0.01 now.
Spam for essay-writing services really bugs me.
For some reason, spam for essay-writing services really bugs me. Maybe I’m just used to the usual porn/pills/etc. spam, or maybe it’s that they actively encourage the *target* to be dishonest, too.

I just checked the Vertical Horizon tour schedule to see if they’d added any shows in California. Well, the band hasn’t set anything up farther west than Utah, but the lead singer had a performance in California…at the Borders in Tustin. YESTERDAY.
It’s sad to get Christmas cards for someone who used to live at your address
It’s sad to get Christmas cards for someone who used to live at your address. We’ve gotten two this year, but none last year. Maybe last year’s were still forwarded, and the forwarding order expired.

Doing my part to confuse Goldstar. The last ticket I bought through them: Equivocation, a serious policital thriller about Shakespeare and terrorism. This time: Xanadu, a musical comedy on roller skates based on an 80s movie.

Co-workers arguing over how the circuit breaker in the lunch room is set up. I asked the critical question: “Is it still out now?”…and turned the coffee pot on. C’mon, priorities, here!
