This is pretty cool. For some reason it starts on page 4, but there are pages and pages of interesting things done with stacked coins and poker chips.

This is a really interesting article and while it is about female gaming (gamers, you might be interested in more of the articles on this site), it’s also got a lot of points about feminism and accepting/rejecting colors based on gender identifications.

Ouch. Like I wasn’t paranoid ENOUGH already:

Personality type: High Maintenance

You pride yourself on being assertive and direct; everyone else thinks you’re bossy and arrogant. You’re constantly running your mouth about topics that only you would find interesting. Your capacity for wasting other people’s time is limitless. Your friends find you intolerable, that’s why they’re plotting to kill you.

Also drinks: Water. Bottled, chilled, with four ice cubes, a twist of lemon, in a crystal glass.

Can also be found at: Trendy martini bars

Bad day

1 comment November 19th, 2007 01:11pm FyreGoddess

I’ve had a really bad day! I rear-ended a car today !!!  I tell you, it was a really, really, really, bad day!

The driver got out of the other car, and he was a dwarf!  He looked up at me and said, "I am NOT Happy!" So I said, "Well then, which one are you?"

That’s how the fight started.
