Just nerve pain. Walking seems to help a little. More real content coming soon, including some big news as soon as the contract is inked. Until then, here’s my girlfriend’s Meez to amuse you. Good thing she really does love nerds.

If only my students would do something this crazy once in a while:
Spiders on Crack (&c)
Blame (or thank) Tina for this one:
Crazy Video
Okay, the Linux posting is a little delayed, but look at this goofy stuff! Julia got it from Adam. Like both of them, I am amused by the juxtaposition of uptight white 19th century musicals form and style (and visuals) with modern macho rap culture. Quite amusing, and I’m sure ‘d pay a decent sum of money at some point to see a musical of that sort in real production.
Anyone Order Me a Book Lately?
I received a few things in the mail today. A disappointingly limited selection of my own compositions — lots of things from my third year compositions, but absolutely nothing from my second year, which means that when my box of audio tapes were turfed last year, the recordings of my earliest compositions were utterly lost — as well as the last issue of InterZone (but not the new one) and finally, a very dated issue of Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet along with Ray Vukcevich’s Meet Me in the Moon Room from Small Beer Press. It’s not as weird as it …
Rachmaninoff Had Big Hands
Lime just emailed me this, with the following explanation, which I didn’t need, but which some readers may appreciate (for LJers, the video is here): He’s a korean, the thing he says first is this : Rachmaninoff had big hands, but I have small hands, korean. something like that. enjoy!
Small Indeed, This World
I ‘Heart’ You, originally uploaded by studentoftheology. I got a funny surprise when, checking out Jodi’s blog, I saw this picture in a post of hers. Who knows what strange set of connections brought Jodi to this photo, but this was a student of mine, not long ago. (She took a public speaking class with me, and I still see her around the University sometimes.) I shall have to remember to call her by her English-teaching name, “Shine”. UPDATE: I’m told by the teacher who posted this picture that I am indeed correct. Well how about that?
ABC’s of me
ganked from Writing Under a Pseudonym A- Available or single? No. Sorry to disappoint. B- Best Friend? Lime. C- Cake or Pie? Definitely pie. D- Drink of Choice? Water, actually. E- Essential Item? I agree with Jade: my laptop. F- Favorite Color? Haven’t had one since elementary school. G- Gummi Bears or Worms? No thanks. I’ll have some peach licorice, though. H- Hometown? Saskatoon, Canada. I- Indulgence? Oh, I’m cutting back. Let’s say DVDs and soft cheeses. J- January or February? January, because February is the real cruelest month. K- Kids and names? I like those old native Korean names, …
Cthulhu Tracts
A fellow known to some of us as Danevolent posted this on a mailing list: Cthulhu Tracts. Yeah, it’s only funny if you know about Chick Tracts and the work of H.P. Lovecraft, but, well, see, this is what we SF nerds find funny.
Nude Cephalopods
We know about cephalopod sex depending on tentacles, thanks to my Clarion pal Guy, so this actually makes a lot of sense. Hee. (Via one of the Pauls on the Culturelist.)
