Also via Boing Boing, a brief bit from Wired about "Team America: World Police". I so want to see this movie now, and can only hope that it is as good as it looks.
Martha Stewart meets "Squeaky" Fromme? Sounds like a one-act play.
Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice is the fictional character women would most like to date, according to The Guardian. Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books, and Jane Austen is one of my favorite writers -- among my many goals, along with writing an opera based on the life of Barbara Stanwyck and the "Jesus Christ, Teen Detective" series, is a gay, sci-fi version of a Jane Austen novel -- but I do think the author of the article has a point in the fact that the character is hardly the type of man most women SAY they would want to date. I just figure they mean that Colin Firth playing Darcy (Fitzwilliam or Mark, your choice) is the fictional character(s?) they'd most like to date. (Actually, Firth ain't far from the top of my list, either.) (via Bookslut)
I ordered the cake for my birthday next week: it will say "Clark + Morticia: 5 Years". Kahlua-flavored, per the sexy-baker guy's recommendation. The text is based on a comment I made to Julie a few years back, about how I wished she would get me a remaindered cake, one that wasn't picked up by the people who ordered it, "with something on it like, 'Happy Anniversary, Clark and Morticia!'" My Marcel Duchamp complex was acting up that day; I guess I was picturing Clark Kent married to Morticia Addams, which is pretty funny anyways. So that has been the running joke ever since. Only the cake wasn't big enough to fit "anniversary".
