Friday Linky Love

Remember when I told all of you how happy I was, even though my head was throbbing and throat was on fire? I lied. I’m miserable. Grumble.

So instead of writing anything, here’s a few places to go while you’re procrastinating today:

New Staff Find White House in Tech Dark Ages – An aide claims it’s like going from an XBox to an Atari. I have to admit, I loved my Atari, but this would be frustrating.

Where You Won’t Shop in 2009 – As long as J Crew online is in business, I’ll be fine. Oh, J Crew, how I love you and your ridiculously high priced flip flops.

The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks – Har, har, har….air quotes make me laugh.

(free) Valentines Day Cards – I like this template, and even though Lu is probably a bit young for these, I’m using them anyway. Mostly due to the high usage of the words dude and seriously.

Bubble Calendar – I must have this, as does anyone who loves popping packing bubbles. So, maybe just me.

What to do on Friday Night (if you’re lame-o like me) – Watch WALL-E. Seriously. Dude. (Told you I was a fan of those words). This is the first movie in a very long time that I could watch with Lu and not want to run out of the room screaming (I’m looking at you, Tinkerbell!). I know some think it’s too political or boring, which, in my opinion, is total crap incorrect. I guess if you consider human’s trashing the planet with stuff from a Costco-like franchise, then leaving it a mess because it’s too hard to clean up, then becoming giant fatty’s because they are the laziest beings in the universe, political, then I suppose the argument could be made. It wouldn’t be a good argument, but I’m sure some people will argue it (now I’m looking at you, Bill O’Reilly!). Lordy.

But what does this movie seem to be teaching my daughter (according to her)? Clean up your mess, play and don’t eat fast food all the time, love people who are nice to you. Doesn’t seem like to bad of a message, huh? I know a bunch of older kids that have hated it, due to the lack of dialouge and human characters, but Lu seems to love it.

Then again, she’s the daughter of a Space Camp nerd, so it may just be in her DNA.
