If you’ve never had curry flavor chips, I’m sorry but you’re living wrong.

There are no uninsured Americans →
The special brand of cluelessness in the McCain camp scares me afresh in new and exciting ways each day. He seems like a genuinely well-intentioned man, which in itself is even more disturbing since it’s enough to win the support of a lot of people who don’t seem to care (or notice) that the man fails to grasp some of the most basic realities of our era.

30 Free High Quality Wordpress Themes →
I adore Tumblr, but some of these gorgeous themes have me itching to install WordPress just for the pure beauty. I suppose I could port one for Tumblr, but that seems like a recipe for frustration and creative use of obscenities.

10 First Aid Mistakes →
The best part of this list is no doubt the caveat that a victim with a severed finger would likely be undergoing immediate surgery, and thus would be “best off with an empty stomach.” Thank god they clarified that, since I know my first reaction on lopping off a digit would be to insist we go to a hospital with a taco place en route.

alla1: twentysomethingtales:dihard: That’s 3,276 hours spent primping and preening for a night out - enough time for an astronaut to fly to the moon and back 22 times. This is per a recent poll of 1,000 women between the ages of 18 and 60, conducted by Skinbliss, a women’s beauty brand. This is why I work from home, as a writer, and my “office attire” is pyjama pants and a tank...

Mario Bros. :: Firefox Add-ons →
I love it! If the many technical reasons to choose Firefox over IE weren’t enough, this Super Mario theme has got to be the cherry on the cake. Time for some side-scrolling, Wikipedia action! I wonder if I can find a power-up by hitting their random link button?

If any movie needed to be remade, it was definitely Death Race 2000. Kudos, Hollywood!

Linux Myths: Busted! →
The only reason I dual-boot Vista and Linux is because configuring WINE to run WoW was too much of a headache. Other than PC games, I never touch Windows and my life is better for it.

I think I just had a life-altering moment. The Daily Show, streamed to my laptop? You probably can’t understand the state of advanced bliss I am in right now.

The Internet is Magic!
lovepuppy: If you don’t like something, you don’t have to read it! Even better, if you don’t like something you can post hilarious and angry screeds assaulting it or start a Facebook group to share your disdain with others.

popurls | popular urls to the latest web buzz →
Sometimes I fall in love with a website, then manage to entirely forget it exists. When I rediscover it, I can’t believe I went without it. I used to scan Popurls.com every 30 minutes throughout the day, totally addicted to what people were doing/reading/thinking/saying. Then, one day I guess I forgot to log in, and BAM the whole thing slipped my mind. Yes, my brain really can work like...

I can't help but guffaw
I am currently listening to 2 friends have a serious discussion over how to pronounce the word “guffaw.” I’m honestly not sure if they really don’t know, or if they’re messing around with me. Either way, listening to them run through all variations that common English vowel usage might allow for is quite ridiculous. GUFFaaaw GUFFaaah goofAH etc Basically, my...

My cat remains deeply committed to sleeping right where I like to tuck my feet under my computer chair. She wins this round, I suppose.

It’s ridiculous to get emo over a virtual community, right? Then again, I did do a cyber-anthropology degree, so I’m clearly not normal.

Deftest? Seriously? Well, you know what they say...
allgrownsup: Oh man. When did tumblr people get so serious? I love how people on this site can and will get so emotionally invested in responding complete stranger’s random musings. I am so sorry I didn’t LOVE Batman as much as the rest of you, and even more sorry that I didn’t spend waste 30 minutes of my weekend sitting in front of my laptop writing a 10 paragraph diatribe justifying exactly...
