Sure, it feels like a whole year of seasons has passed since that warm spell in March, but I think we've finally re-entered Spring. The backyard is clean and beautiful (no thanks to myself), and it's warm.
Perhaps it's too warm, though. I'm half expecting another big thunderstorm, or worse ... snow, again!
It's an "instant" "hamburger." And it confirms my suspicion that the Japanese are weird. Though, it does seem like something you might get at a swanky molecular gastronomy restaurant.
Thanks to Cynical-C for this horrible thing.
My parents have sold their house, and are moving out in a couple of months. In order to make the move a little easier, my dad has been going through all the junk in the basement, and gathered all of my old stuff, and all of my brother's into a couple of piles. Now, most of this stuff is really useless to me at this point, and much of it I haven't even seen for maybe 20 years or more. I'm not sure what to do with it all, short of putting it on Kijiji or giving it to Goodwill.
In one box was a bag of dice, if you can believe it. My dad wanted to make sure I had all my gaming dice from back when I used to play D&D. It was actually my brother's bag of dice, since he used to keep it in an old Crown Royal bag (as many of us geek gamers did), but I didn't belabour the point. I brought the bag home anyway, and pooled the dice with my own, which I had to dig out of a closet.
So now I have a large bunch of dice, back from when I was a kid. Don't know what to do with it. It's not a very interesting story, so here's a clip of Wil Wheaton talking about dice.

At DVLB in Waterloo. Going to be discussing some upcoming events in town, so I'll need some energy.
Seems like an Onion article, but the title of this post is "Guy Comes Out Of Closet On Facebook To Friends Who Are Entirely Too Geeky To Care," and I think it's one of the best threads of Facebook comments I've ever seen.
(Is it weird that I want to see his Web page now?)

All the food groups are accounted for. Sugar, fat, caffeine, and alcohol.
Kind of a sorry state of movies these days.
Are any of these worth seeing? How about "John Carter?" Any good?

This is indeed a most astounding fact, as described by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
I've been eyeing these pitchers for years now, but could never justify spending $40 for one. Now they're on sale for $5 each! Going to make some great martinis in this.
