Popping out of super-lurk mode to say hi, and announce the imminent arrival of a new tiny wizzard (eta May 30th). Hope everyone's doing well!

wizzard

WOO! Congrats Ali!

I had a dream last night that I was in Chicago on business, and I randomly ran into Alea. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out. This is odd, since I have never been to Chicago, nor met Alea in person. I'm taking it as a sign that I've been staying away from this place for too long.

Ali, the last info graphic at that link blows my mind! There is a DISTINCT difference between "Mary" "Merry" and "Marry." People really pronounce all three of those words identically?! :gasp: I'm really curious as to how you pronounce them. I don't know anyone who has ...

She said yes!!!!!!

Huge hugs and prayers for Kirsten and Teresa.

Because it means to be. Just the whole idea of Lindsay trying to impress Daniel and crew and then her little brother and his friends being so hopelessly adorkable...I like the characters, it's a good show, it's just painful at times.

I think "adorkable" is my new favorite word

I was worried that the series was straying too far from its proven formula, which is: small myth arc reveals while Harry solved a mystery, great character development, and things mostly being to normal by the end with some significant changes. But it did not! Basically. I just love sinking back int...

I'm a die-hard Eagles fan, and hate the Cowgirls with a passion. The last few years have been disappointing, but I started watching football just after Andy Reid took over, and it'll be weird seeing someone else on the sidelines after 14 years. I really do hope he does well with a fresh start in Kan...

wizzard

That is awesome, Alea, and WAY more dedication than I've ever had to a project.

wizzard

Definitely both spatulas.

wizzard

Argh! No no no no NO. NO. For no particular reason, I googled Atticus baby name 2012. SO MANY WEBSITES have it as a "hot" or "trending" name. It's even on a list of names for hipster babies! What. The. f***. In 2011, it was barely a blip on the baby name radar. It had just barel...

Log into Facebook - first post in my feed: "Has anyone read the Ender Wiggin saga?"

Why yes, yes I have, thank you so much for asking

wizzard

Alea, those are awesome! I especially love the wine one. I'm also extremely jealous, since all the artistic genes in my family somehow managed to skip a generation ><

wizzard

I'm thankful for Google.

Travelling to Canada for my brother's wedding, I didn't think about the fact that I wouldn't be able to use 3G/4G up there. The ability to download sections of Google maps to my phone over wifi before leaving the hotel was a life saver.

I'm from Eastern PA, and I've always heard George Washington. I think the first time I heard Columbus was from my girlfriend, who's from Iowa. I can make it work, but like others have said, it just sounds weird. I think it's because you end up holding the "um" for a long time, and it creat...

Ooh, I want a Yoda mug!

I got:
-Batman Begins BluRay
-Moonrise Kingdom BluRay
-Smallworld: Underground
-A carving knife
-Skyrim: Hearthfire on Steam
-A bottle of Oban 14 year scotch
-A sister-in-law! (and hopefully nieces and nephews soon

)

My girlfriend and I exchanged gifts early this year. She got me the perfect present: http://instagram.com/p/TeeI1eBFQs/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's my first pocket watch, and I absolutely love it! There's an inscription on the front that says "Hours past and fu...

I have a feeling the nerd-community reaction to this film is going to be vitriol on the level of Phantom Menace. I don't think it's going to be quite as bad as that. I definitely see the parallels, especially in how much they try to force a connection to the original trilogy. It's like they're wink...

Today's Triumph: I didn't read the Gun Control thread.

It's been a while since I've read the book carefully, but I always had the impression that the curvature was slight enough it was only noticeable in the long hallways.

I love the picture, though, it looks great!

wizzard

I'm so glad they decided to include the songs in the movie, I got chills the first time I saw the dwarves singing! I know a lot of people just skip over the songs when they get to them, but they add so much to the atmosphere of the book.

wizzard

Agreed, hugs for Cezen, Alea, and Briseis

Bacon Apple Pie! It's basically breakfast in pie form

P.S. That blog was recently started by a friend of mine, and has some other fun stuff on it, like chocolate Daleks and cyber-gingerbread men. You should check it out. [/shameless plug]

Dear body,

Thanksgiving is in 2 days, we're flying to Colorado, and I'm meeting most of her family for the first time... stop getting sick!

wizzard

I'm normally a very laid back guy, but I get really, irrationally irritated when I'm using a device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), and someone just reaches over and starts pushing buttons. I have absolutely no problem with you looking over my shoulder, or telling me to click on something, or ...

All boxers, all the time. They're so much less restrictive.

My first thought when I heard about this was "at least George can't mess with them any more". He'll still be kept on as "creative consultant", but he won't be directing any more movies, which in my book is definitely a good thing. I am a little curious how they're going to handle...

Sending good thoughts to anyone in the northeast dealing with Sandy today. I just found out that the shore house my family's been going to every summer since before I was born may not survive the storm. This saddens me more than I can say. Some of the best times of my life were spend at that house, ...

Time where the fact-checkers themselves are blatantly wrong? Other than the example I gave above that started that part of the discussion? ETA: I thought I was being clear about this, earlier, but I guess I should add that I'm not saying they're always wrong. Just that I have seen them be wrong on ...

Jurassic Park is older than most college freshmen...

It's not really a matter of whether they're "biased." They're just wrong. (When they're not trying to spin their opinions as facts, that is.)

That's a pretty strong blanket statement, do you have examples? Time where the fact-checkers themselves are blatantly wrong?

wizzard

You walk 30-40 miles a week? Dang girl.

Haha, that's exactly what I thought.

Also, *hugs*

wizzard

I love the picture of the trees, the colors are amazing. And the blurriness is clearly "artistic" :wink: I appreciate your use of brown sugar in your oatmeal. I'm just going to keep track of all the people who do this and present the information to zero's mom as evidence that I'm not as we...
