Cineplexity is out! As in, out!

A couple weeks ago, Boomer at BoardGameGeek posted a photo of Cineplexity from the New York Toy Fair. Then JM brought home a copy from the fair, and it started to feel real, but not really more real than a year ago at the Wisconsin Film Festival.

But today, it's really, really real! On the Out of the Box web site! Squee hardly cuts it!

Memo to Ray Allen, Madison mayoral challenger

Now that you're past the primary, I have a campaign slogan for you: Mayor Dave for Dave. Eh?

(This has nothing to do with my vote.)

"Healthy" junk food that tastes better than the regular version

  1. Low fat Hostess cupcakes

    They don't leave a greasy film coating the inside of your mouth after you eat them. And everyone has a different way of eating them. I eat the cake from the bottom up, then eat around the white frosting swirl, then eat the swirl. The best method I ever heard of belongs to Judith, who takes off the frosting, eats the cake down to the creme filling, sets the creme filling aside, finishes the cake, then makes a frosting-and-creme-filling taco.


  2. Baked Cheetos

    Must be the extra buttery artificial flavor in them. I have a fond spot for Cheetos. My great-grandmother, who lived into her nineties, ended every day with a small bowl of Cheetos and a juice glass full of Dr Pepper. (I don't attribute her longevity to her evening snack, I'm just saying it was cute.)

I can't think of a third. Others?

Nuance

The church library is getting a makeover. I noticed my use of the tag "weed" in LibraryThing is different than everyone else's.

... from JM's (semi-)hometown paper, the Hudson Star-Observer.
