If you’re not reading Roger Ebert’s blog, you are missing out. Latest entry is on the joys of making out, especially in the context of the sexually repressed college campuses of 1960. Unguarded, honest, plainly stated — it’s a jewel, I say! A jewel!
His previous entry Nil By Mouth — in which he answers the question of whether he misses eating and drinking since jaw surgery took those things away — is heartbreaking and hopeful. Hooray Roger Ebert!
Play this game with the sound on. It’s easy. Then listen to the song that plays.

Thank you to Ptolemy Slocum, best link sender ever.
Other things: I joined GoodReads and LinkedIn to accompany my MySpace account. Not to mention the social networking available to me (which I do not use) on YouTube. I think I still have a Friendster and Orkut account out there somewhere too. In the late 90s, every web site had to have news and weather incorporated — everything was a “portal.” Now everything is “social networking.” Isn’t email a simple enough way to stay in touch? I like goodreads, though.
Separately, I need a digital camera.
Everyone at work is searching YouTube for “taser videos” now. Another popular search topic: wedding fights.
