jimhenley! To judge by his livejournal, the man does nothing but exercise! We need to encourage his fluffy interests whenever they appear. :D

This entertaining and edifying hour brought to you as always by Madeline! Be thankful I'm not feverish enough to use the flash tag on that name. Firefox actually accepts it. Ai!

This is the "What you are" toy, courtesy Accordion Guy, who comes in alas second on my list of A's. Go there! Be diverted for a bare moment!
B: Why, it's the first act of the AmberMUSH G&S Libretto!
I was over there doing research on Bleys for ACNW's version of SOB. I do so love the "Prince among Princes" song.
C: Craigslist!
O, true friend of my heart!
D: DailyKos.
Not so much these days.
E: An ehow article on how to fix a sweater that's shrunk.
See, I never believed my mom about clothes actually shrinking in the dryer... I hear about jeans shrinking, sweaters, ya ya ya nothing has ever shrunk for me, much to my disappointment in the case of several terribly baggy old sweatshirts of mine. So in a rush to wash things to wear to ACNW, I threw a wool sweater in the dryer with the rest of the delicates, on "low." Imagine my surprise when my shrinkless state is finally broken... Bemusement, really. Heh.
So I soaked the sweater in the sink with my conditioner and stretched it out by hand, and left it to dry flat on the couch. And then the next day I moved it off the couch in case Silent E, my housemate, might want to flop out in the sun while I was away, and left it on my bed to continue drying. And then when I got back from ACNW four days later, I moved it back to the couch so it could dry some more... No, at this point I kid. But what, I'm supposed to have half an acre of flat sweater-appropriate drying space in my house that I don't need for days on end? Sheesh!
Anyway, it sorta fits again.
F: The Frontier Airlines website.
I flew Frontier out to Colorado for the Election Protection/visiting my sister stuff, and checked them again for the flight back for Thanksgiving. Usually I fly Frontier, because usually it's cheapest. And they tend to put me down in concourse A of DIA, which means I can walk back to the main terminal and I don't have to listen to the chiming of that hideous train!
G: GPF, the online comic.
Also probably not so much these days.
H: Hi, Jim! [waving wildly]
The occasional embarassment of seeing my wild-eyed rants in print is more than made up for by the quality of the rest of the writing. Plus, he's finally going to get into the "how will we have health insurance in the near future when a genetic scan will reveal all of our secrets" question, I bet!
I: And look, the very hybrid forum I was referring to in aforementioned wild-eyed rant. Er.
My absolute favorite threads so far have been the discussion on laminar flow and whether a car dimpled like a golf ball (oh, Buffy!) would go faster:

And the discussion on the lengths to which we'll go for gas mileage:

Hee! A breed apart, I tells ya. G'wan, just read that last one.
J: ...I got nothing.
K: The post-Election Protection "whaddya think?" survey from keysurvey.com.
What did I think? So help me god, I'll never be non-partisan again.
L: Why, it's my friendslist!
Yep, many a night I've spent checking it every few hours... Or half-hours... Or, 'yknow, minutes...
M: Hah! This you should check out. How to Write a Best Selling Fantasy Novel.
Seriously, great. Thanks to Teresa Nielsen Hayden,
N: who, it so happens, is our guest of honor for the letter N.
More good writing in the blog and comments, and neat links in the "Particles" section on the left.
O: "onlineaccess" to one of my credit cards.
This is one to a store, which I picked up because while attempting to get a car loan for aforementioned hybrid, the bank loan guy said that what they looked for was about 5 sources of credit.
P: PENNY ARCADE!
O, dear love of my heart, brightener of my days! Thou banisheth the grimness of reality for pure precious moments!
I mean, I'm sorry, but how could you not love people who title posts things like "A Literal Spigot Of Ravenous Dead"? I love them. They will be mine! Mine mine mine!
Er. I have a cold. I think I may be slightly feverish. Plus, they're both married-ish. Ah, well.
Q: Nope, nothing here either.
R: Doyce's gaming blog.
When he talks about comparative gaming stuff, man, that's some good shit...
S: My homepage, the San Francisco Chronicle.
The "Day in Pictures" bit on the right has done its part to pack my hard drive to the gills.
T: Toothpaste for Dinner.
Funny and quite often insightful. Like, um, er, today...
U: Whoooole lotta nothing.
V: Augh! It's the nothing!
W: Working for Change.
I go here on Tuesdays to read This Modern World.
X: Nada.
Y: Oh, now, this is getting sad. No Y? What do I do on the internet for hours if I don't even get a Y site?
