The weekly collection of interesting reads from around the blogosphere.

Hot Doctor Wife posted this picture, which asks a very important question about the design.

The Spicy Cauldron has another great pet story.

Stolie started a week-long Dating series on her blog and she took me up on my somewhat jokey idea about “letting the cat off the leash” in front of your dating partner. Make sure you read the comments, too. There is some funny stuff in there.

hubs found an orgasmatron that he theorizes will actually work.

It’s been mentioned on several blogs and news programs now, but fastlad was the one I read first about Clinton’s Fox News interview. It’s delicious.

To add more to Hayes’ and my Wal-Mart post, Rosie watched the documentary that we talked about and put up some scary facts on her blog.

Ever wonder what it would look like to eat WAY too much? Sure you have. Go to National Geographic’s site for a picture of a python that ate a pregnant sheep and was too full to crawl away from the middle of the street.

Hayes got a letter back from the mayor of Denver about his Elitch Garden’s concerns.  Read about it in his blog update about his efforts to keep the amusement going.

And finally, the Mars rovers have been traveling around Mars at 44 yards a day for — get this — almost THREE years. (January will be their anniversary.) Opportunity is now overlooking Victoria Crater and now has the chance to see deeper into Mars’ geologic past than anything on Earth has before.  So cool!

Listening to: Evil Woman - Electric Light Orchestra

This is for Leslie. We’ve been having a conversation in the comments of the Nellie McKay post about The Incredible Shrinking Woman that had “Galaxy Glue” as its end theme. I still love this song even though it’s annoyingly catchy. By the way, the film came out in 1981, Leslie. Duh!

This is just my playing around with Garageband again wanting something with a more jazz sound and so my first ‘alternative’ song was created. I think this is the first song that I did in Garageband that didn’t start out as a demo song while working at Apple.

The title came from one of the samples which was called ‘deep bass’ or something. It’s been a while.

You can download “Deep” and keep it forever if you wish.

Listening to: Sexyback - Justin Timberlake

This is what was in my mail pile when I got home. Do not read if you can’t handle the geek.

• From Netflix: Naruto, Vol. 2 — Anime series on Cartoon Network of which I missed a few episodes even though I’ve read all the manga (graphic novels) now. [snort]
• From Gamefly: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team — which I sent back this morning. It’s an RPG and find those to be a bit boring. BTW, there are still spaces open on my quest to refer 5 friends to Gamefly to get a DS Lite. The first five people who sign up will be put in a drawing to get my current DS, which is only a few months old. Sign up here! (Yeah, I’m a whore.)
• From Shonen Jump: My first Shonen Jump magazine. It’s 344 pages of manga. Well, 100 pages of ads, 244 pages of Manga give or take a few pages. So now I know what happens in Naruto, but am missing about 4 or 5 issues from the books to the mag and don’ t know what happened. Arrgh! [pushing glasses back up my nose]

So there you go. The biggest pile of geek the postal service has ever delivered unto me. Huzzah!

Listening to: Pompeii AM Gotterdammerung - Flaming Lips
