i seem to have spent most of this challenge not quite sticking to the rules in one way or another. but it's my blog, and i can do what i like. so there. *pouts*
actually, i was knackered last night, and just couldn't face going through all of the rigmarole of blogging (i think i've explained before somewhere this month what a pain in the ass it is to just get online, so i won't go over it again), and besides, i was busy putting a face-mask on, wearing jammies, watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and cuddling wih an equally knackered hubby.
so.
two posts for the price of one.
first: a website.
i played with the idea of linking to Neil Gaiman's Website, since it was sort of my introduction to the wider wonderful weirdness of the web, but that's too obvious. another i looked at is the cheezburger network, because i like to laugh, and i'm guaranteed a chuckle from there. but everybody's seen that website in one form or another. i mean, everybody knows what a LOLcat is, right?
so how about xkcd? it's (quote) "a webcomic of romace, sarcasm, math and language". basically, it's mostly stick figures making whimsical jokes. i admit to not getting all of the jokes, since a lot of them depend on the reader being a cleverer and more familliar with popular culture and technology than i. but i get most on some level, and it's endearingly and unashamedly geeky. click on the "random" button to get a fairly wide selection of cartoons about a surprisingly wide range of topics (though physics and technology are heavily favoured). although there's a pretty good selection here, too. *chuckle*
and today's offering: a YouTube Video.
aw, c'mooooon - there's f**kin' billions of these things!
the most recent one i watched was for Amanda Palmer's awesome new single: Map Of Tasmania.
geographical / cultural note: "map of Tasmania" is an Australian euphemism for female pubic hair, as the island of Tasmania is vaguely triangular in shape.... (hence the catcall: "Hey, love - show us yer map of Tasmania!") i love the song, and the video - as well as looking great - made me LMAO.
enjoy! :oD

I just learned something new today. I've never heard it called a map of Tasmania.
