Jim Butcher Readies Novella Set In Dresden Universe
Being the complete and total nerd that I am, I just dropped $45 on a limited-edition novella, Backup, written by Jim Butcher. If you're as addicted to the world of Harry Dresden, as I am, you'll certainly need no more incentive from me to pick up this latest release.

Witnessed A Murder On My Way Home Last Night
As we were stopping at one of the bus stops, a girl in the back started screaming. I looked back and saw her pointing out the window, and I glanced out the window. Out in an unfenced culdesac were three guys--two of them standing. One of them was on the ground. The taller of the two men had a baseball bat and was about ready to smash it into his head, when they realiz ...

Tom Cruise Is Totally Sane

A Random Aquantance Has Sent You a GIF Image!
Srsly, Facebook? What's the deal with all these random "gifts" that people can send to each other? This is the internet. Images aren't a scarce resource.

Whose Lunch Is This Anyway?
The first ever lunch tally on The Giraffe, and Mark is the big winner today--stealing a close victory over myself. It was worth losing to see him house the last bit of his cheesesteak.
