Happy Chewbacca!

And now a carol to celebrate the most joyous of holidays.

L.I.A.R.B.Y.R.D.

Get Your Cyborg Name

Name My Laptop

So the new laptop is nearing a month old and I haven't decided on a name yet. I really wanted just to keep the name of the old laptop, Ian, but was informed last night is was major major bad mojo to keep the same name for computers. Fine. But I need a name.

I'm bouncing between a sci-fi name (Khan is a front runner) or a traveler/explorer name, which is where Ian came from. (Ian Wright, host of Globe Trekker. I love that guy.)

So, here I am, typing on a spiffing new machine with no name. Help.

I love Alton Brown

Alton Brown (one of my heroes) was on NPR this morning, making eggnog with liquid nitrogen. You know, if you want to freeze the nog for ice cream. Yummy. I am almost inspired to make my own eggnog this Xmas. Almost.

As a side note, received mystery present from Clare. Yeah! And I totally ignored the label that said "chocolates." Totally ignored it.

Ninja Day!

Today is the most glorious of holidays, it is International Ninja Day...when non-ninjas (nonjas) such as myself can pretend to be a ninja without fear of punishment from real ninjas. Don't believe me? Go ask a ninja yourself.
