Manga: The new black?

Clicked on my Flickr Contacts, and was greeted by a bunch of Toons! (click to enlarge)

How come these are all so good? Mine doesn’t even look like me.

UPDATE: I tried again, and this one’s better:

I’ve always wanted to be a bobble-head!

A picture worth 100 words

Making a stop at?the Wordle playstation. I fed it the first ten chapters of my in-progress novel (seriously, I should just change the title to In Progress). Here’s a graphic depiction of the 100 most frequently used words. Of course, being me, I had to tweak the offered colors to make them more appropriate. Because I always have to tinker.

Hmmn, wonder who the protagonists are? (Click image to view larger.)

Totally Related Aside: Statistics indicate that 62% of female bloggers are writing a vampire novel. Or they would if anybody was counting.

I hear summer in the breeze

Monday, April 14th, 2008

One of my co-workers is planning a summer kick-off barbecue and pool party on June 21st, and?I’ve been “volunteered” to supply the music. The request is for a minimum of four hours of tunes, appropriately summerish. Having been a SoCal teenager in the ’60s, I’ve got the whole Beach Boys/surf music aspect covered. But I want to keep the music varied, and at least half the guests will be under the age of 40, so I want more recent tunes as well.

Help me out by posting all your favorite summer songs in the comments. Or even any you can think of, favorite or not. Include the artist if you can, so I can find it easier. I’ve put up a page with the list on it, so you can see what songs have already been suggested.

This may be tougher for those of you still getting snow …

I <3 teh ’80s. No, srsly.
