Andy found out that this blog is blocked by China. Yeah! Take that China! Woooo! How does my controversial subject matter taste now? Not too sweet, eh? Finally, everyone will be talking about me and I’ll take over the world!! Except for China. ….hey! Who moved my Risk board? I had world-domination plans set up on that! Damn. Stupid Chinese maid who is secretly a spy.
Videos of the week:
Trouser ghosts are REAL!
For Your Entertainment had two excellent videos: this disturbing albeit hilarious Kermit video and this genius Dora The Explora spoof.
Here is Howard U.K. (sorry, Howard, just trying to make a distinction. Just call me Howard U.S. from now on) doing a beautiful video of him signing the gorgeous song from Hedwig, “The Origin Of Love”.
Pictures of the week:
Some very cool interpretations of Star Wars characters.
Ever wonder what Earth would look like in other shapes? Of course you have. I love Donut Earth. Crusty on the outside. Super-heated and creamy on the inside.
Prepare to squeal.
Heather and a friend started a holiday in school all of us forgot to celebrate again.
Prince fan? Go here.
Ever hear a story and wish to all that is good that you were there to witness it?
SQUEAL! New Kylie Minogue album this year. My guilty pleasure is rock hard right now.
And finally, Certifiable Princess had this incredible, life-affirming, some-of-you-bitches-better-learn-this-lesson story. Part One. Part Two.
Listening to: I’m A Broken Heart - The Bird And The Bee

I totally squealed.
Some of us old time Wizards Chest still celebrate “Stick Day” every time there is 4 or more 1s in the date. It is customary to suprise someone with a stick.

“My guilty pleasure is rock hard right now.”
As sentences go, that’s one that really gets noticed. Made me laugh! Why Kylie a guilty pleasure? That said, the live album isn’t great, the one before that was lame bar one track and her last great work was ‘Fever’. So I hope the next one is not dud. She’s a role model and a hero but she’d better get the disco back in her veins… x

I’m glad. It’s supposed to make you laugh. :) Fever is outstanding, but still loved several songs on Body Language as well. And why ‘guilty pleasure’? It’s just that I think ‘admitting’ trifles is funny.

HowardUK makes me worringly close to Howard The Duck, a comparison neither of us cherish!

Hmmm.. you’re right. Okay, I’ll stop that and have to think of something else.
