As you'll see here, I've had more Web time lately ...
Another fastastic jewel to be found on In Passing, which just cannot be linked too much.

Two sites submitted for your twisted consideration: squirrel hazing and furniture porn. (First link from MeFi, second from David)· · ·
Continuing a theme from yesterday: Ernie's acclaimed 'blog shows me that I'm not the only one surrounded by straight male friends everyone else thinks are gay.· · ·
"Well sugar, I think you're sexier than a stuffed swan on a scooter."Another fastastic jewel to be found on In Passing, which just cannot be linked too much.

This escaped me: Richard Corliss' extremely fond recent remembrance of Mystery Science Theater 3000 for Time. It includes a very casual report on a panel-discussion reunion of most of the show's creative forces. As always, the niceness of Joel's calves is noted.
Satellite News, which led me to the Time piece, also notes that Comedy Central is trying out Let's Bowl, an intriguingly weird show co-created by a former MST editor whom I once met in a hotel bathroom at one of the MST conventions in Minneapolis. Yes folks, it's the most desperate Brush With Fame ever.
(The Let's Bowl site looks much like the site for the Academy of Fighting Arts, the rehearsal home of Dojo Fabuloso, my improv posse. See? It's the Circle of Life.)

One of the great things about the Web is that it saves you the trouble of defining yourself by letting you take quizzes that define you for you! Alex Wettreich's thorough, intriguing 'blog led to to two good ones, the Belief-O-Matic and the Political Compass. The results:
The religion that most reflects my beliefs is Unitarian Universalism, a 100-percent fit. Which makes sense: I was a UU for about a year 10 years ago, and then decided again that participating in any religious structure wasn't a good use of my time. At the bottom of the scale, I am about equally utterly unsuited to be Eastern Orthodox, Muslim, an Orthodox Jew, Roman Catholic, Hindu, or Seventh-Day Adventist.
Politically, says the Web, I'm slightly left economically and somewhat "libertarian" socially, as shown:
Wettreich's excellently named site, Using Bees to Effect Vengeance, also led me to Todd Lewin's Tremble and its extended musings on the author's apparent homosexuality, which I found alternately amusing and offensive -- his talk of his "fear" that he is thought gay might be satire or might be homophobia; it's hard to tell. Though Exhibit M points to the former.

More IMDb fodder: I've always been disappointed by the low celebrity value of my birthday -- don't worry, it's a ways off, you don't have to shop just yet! -- and the IMDb list for my day illustrates its relative fame dearth. (Lisa Bonet. Goody.) So thank goodness for 1977, when my birthday yielded Farscape's Gigi Edgley and the always-fun-to-say-aloud Oksana Baiul. In fact, from here on out, I think I'll insist that "Oksana Baiul!" be shouted as my birthday toast.
On the other hand, Robert Lippert, co-perpetrator of two painful MSTied movies, The Lost Continent and Radar Secret Service, died on my birthday. Serves him right.

It's 10 in the morning and I have the Doctor Who theme stuck in my head. This is not a good thing.
