His Dark Materials

I'm whizzing through a new book series by Philip Pullman, "His Dark Materials," which I started reading to keep me busy while I waited for the newest Harry Potter book to come out. Now Harry has arrived and I haven't even bothered to get past chapter one because Pullman's books are amazing! Gypsies, and witches and mercenary polar bears, oh my!

What is even more exciting is that I found this on the internet today. Set your calendars for December!



To watch it in better quality go click here. For some reason the wide screen was messing up with Blogger so I had to pick it up from youtube instead.

The Man-1. Meagan-0

Ok so not only has the city upgraded the physical parking tickets that they hand out to you, making them virtually indestructible, but they have taken it a step further.

I park outside my house all the time and it's a 1hour limit zone. So I frequently run out every hour or so to see if my tires have been chalked. If they have, I pull the car up a few spots. If not, it stays. It's annoying as hell but it keeps money in my bank account and not Peter Kelly's.

Lately however I have noticed fewer and fewer chalking incidents. "Cool," I thought, "They are finally laying off my street." Wrong! I saw the comissionaire dude walking around a few days ago with a small electronic device. They aren't chalking the cars anymore because they've upgraded to GPS! Now we can't even tell if our car has been marked!

I thought us little people had figured out one full proof way of beating down the man. If only to get out of a $25 parking ticket. Who knew the man could afford GPS?

Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC

It's been a while since I busted out some nerdy stuff on here. I feel that it is long overdue. So I give you (drum roll please) "Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC." Either you'll get it, or you won't.



ps. thanks to Spaz for passing it on. The "illegitimate father" bit cracked me up.

pps. I highly recommend watching the rest on Youtube. Batman makes a cameo.
