The Wave Magazine - The Bay Area's Best Entertainment Magazine... Ever.:
I'm not sure whether anyone else on this blog has read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, or seen Blade Runner, but I really like the idea of testing to see if politicians are human or not.
"With Willie Brown finally leaving his gold (plated), diamond-encrusted throne, there has been no shortage of hats thrown into the mayoral ring. San Francisco politics are now a microcosm of California’s own, greater gubernatorial “challenges.” Rather than confuse you with endorsements, position papers and other outmoded means of political influence, we’ve decided to get to the bottom of the only question that matters: Is a particular candidate human or an insidious replicant, possessed of physical strength and computational abilities far exceeding our own, but lacking empathy and possibly even bent on our destruction as a species?"

Astonishing Tales: Web Movie Screenplay Creator:
Simply fantastic.
"Writing screenplays may look difficult, but with the right tools and right approach you can effortlessly create a script that will astonish all who read it - this includes jaded Hollywood fatcats!
Obviously you have your favourite web sites. That goes without saying.
But have you ever stopped to think how much better those sites would be if Hollywood scriptwriters got ahold of them and turned them into a movie screenplay?
Of course you have... you're not an idiot!"

It's the lord of the rings, with peeps. It only goes until they enter Moria, and they haven't updated since 2004, so I think that's all they'll ever do. But what's there is very nice.

Amazing links from my friend Amanda's profile
I was going to reformat this, and try to steal credit, but actually, Amanda's presentation was the best:
A new segment, entitled "Amanda Introduces Emotional Balance to Your Life"
for when you are sad
for when you are happy
for when you are pleased
for when you are angry

Boston Herald: Boss' wake-up call stops waiter at death's door:
"All hope seemed lost a week ago when family members, sitting in grim vigil, pulled the plug on life support. Then a friend delivered a gruff message from DiPasquale's boss, restaurant mogul Charles Sarkis.
'Get your ass back to work.'
Five minutes later, in a whisper that hit a Massachusetts General Hospital room like a thunderbolt, DiPasquale awoke saying, 'I've got to get to work.'"

SCARED OF SANTA GALLERY
Tis the season to be scared witless
"Sixteen-month-old Carson stared skeptically at the big red guy while waiting in line to see him at a Christmas party in 2004. But he made up his mind quickly and decisively when somebody actually tried to put him on Santa's lap. This was not going to happen."

Wasps and their zombie cockroaches
If you attended last week's Girly Social Hour ("girly soc" to those in the know), I have already creeped you out with this. But here it is in full version, and I warn you, it is even creepier, despite the disarming levity of the author.

Just in case anyone cared, Leela is apparently a Jack-a-bee.
Or maybe you all knew that and just didn't tell me.

Some old-time Flash cartoon goodness
Since Ryan revealed to me over the weekend that she has not seen these things...
Threebrain.com, which has the famed 'Gonads & Strife' video, as well as the video about 'Hypothermia' that I think I may have been humming when I began this conversation.
Also, Amy Winfrey is my favorite Flash animator (yes, I have one of those), and her three major opuses are:
Muffin Films,
Big Bunny (Which you can hear a tribute to every time I say the word "delicious." Perhaps also every time I see a squirrel.),
& Making Fiends.
Hooray, Flash animation!

Alright, Fine, I'm Totally In!
Here you all are, because I promised. And, kinda because I felt like an immeasurably cheap tool for not having posted in well, just about forever. So, I give you, the links to the webcomics that I find wondorous. Cause they distract me for a few minutes every day.
Ozy and Millie:
honestly a great webcomic, adorable and funny, what more do you want? the archives are great
http://www.ozyandmillie.org/
Questionable Content:
Kate reads this too, so I am not alone in finding it joyful (except for the sad subplots)
http://www.questionablecontent.net/
Friendly Hostility:
spin-off of the fabled Boy Meets Boy, but kinda better, and kinda silly a lot of the time.
http://friendlyhostility.com/
Dr. McNinja:
I just discovered this from a link from QC, and I haven't read all the archives yet, but it seems to kick
http://www.drmcninja.com/
C'est La Vie:
A French woman and her stuffed rabbit, and a man with big ears, what more could you ask for?
http://www.clv-comic.com/index.php
Cat Legend:
I am truly ashamed of this one, mostly because the fan base averages ten years old and they're obnoxious. The comic itself is kinda pretty and great for killing time cause each page takes forever to load. But, it's a very high concept story with sub-par plotting and execution (the dialogue, oh man, it's bad).

Are you asking for a challenge???
Okay, Ryan, I will post something interesting! Ha!
From Overheard in the Office:
Worker #1: Yeah, maybe he wasn't the best intern.
Worker #2: How was I supposed to know he'd go off his meds?
Worker #1: He sure did love opening mail, though.
Worker #2: Yeah. He sure did love opening mail.
