If this ironing board could talk, the stories she'd tell... Countless
job interviews, formal events, nervous dates. She's seen it all.

I kept her mostly for sentimental sake; whenever I did try to iron,
she left a funny pattern on my shirts. But the batcave is cramped as
it is without making room for sentimentality.

Good times.

AKA pizza.

Isn't that what cheese, garlic, tomato and bread is?

Nobody's Asian.

If you haven't seen Dr. Horrible yet, stop reading and go watch it. 

Now, I just picked up the DVD and finally got to watch Commentary! The Musical, the musical commentary to Dr. Horrible.  I think I enjoy it about as much if not more than the original soundtrack. 

This song's one of my faves:

It's funny cause it's obvious. 

Dude, you're getting a Dell?

I've been looking for a replacement for my iBook for some time now.  I didn't want something too awesome because things too awesome have a way of distracting me from using my laptop powers for good (writing) and instead using them for evil (warcraft).  All I really needed was something light and durable with a capable word processor to process this stack of lovely words sitting next to me. 

After looking at all my options, I settled on a Dell Mini 9 netbook. 

Yes, the keyboard is a little cramped.  Yes, the battery life tops out at 3 hours.  Yes, the screen is a little small.  But for $300, it was a pretty good deal.  Especially when you consider that I can make it do this:

Yep, I hacked it and put OS X on it.  For the complete nerds out there, here's a video I made of it booting up:

So yeah, I bought a Dell.  But that doesn't mean I have to be a total savage and run Windows. 

Sweet sweet torture.

Nothing says "happy resurrection of the son of God who died painfully for our sins" like a chocolate cross.

Sometimes I feel like a monkey at a keyboard, in a room full of monkeys at keyboards, typing for a boss that won't tell me what they want me to type but will occasionally snatch my monitor away, scan it and mumble, "it's not Shakespeare," and then look on me with disappointment.

Is that Jen Kim?

If so, you go, Jen! 

If not, sorry, all you asians look alike. 

Hearty har.

I didn't realize that Valentines Day had been promoted from "sorta holiday to make lonely people feel über-lone" to "fairly legit holiday where you put lights on your house." These wasn't the first lights I saw either.

And here I just packed up my MLK Jr. lawn display...

The power of five.

I was reading an APA blog post about how you're the average of the five people closest to you.  I'd heard of this concept before but never thought about it in creative terms. 

Conclusions:
1) I like the concept;
2) It makes sense; and
3) I need three more strong creatives in my posse.

So we can form this:
