Whose Who?
This started out as interesting look back at the Second Doctor/Third Doctor era of Doctor Who by the Script Editor/Producer at the time and then it turned into epic old school butthurt. I love the bits about how the Fourth Doctor is a REPLACEMENT Doctor and how all that damn CANADIAN money is being used to create a show that's been too AMERICANIZED. Cry Moar Little Fanboy. Lulz
Text of Theresa Rebeck Laura Pels Keynote Address
I'm not much of a theater person, and don't consider myself much of a feminist, but this keynote is a must read. I imagine many of the issues this woman faced are many of the issues other women face in the course of their careers. The gender inequality in so many fields is something that really should be pointed out rather then swept under the rug.
Mary Roach: 10 things you didn't know about orgasm
I love Mary Roach. I've read all three of her books and think that Bonk is by far the best (her footnotes are comic gold). Rest assured she brings her same brand of humor and irreverence to the topic of orgasms. There's even a video of a pig. It's rather horrifyingly amazing.
Willard Wigan: Hold your breath for micro-sculpture
This man is amazing. He's the guy who sculpted the Incredible Hulk standing in the eye of a needle. At the most basic level he's pushing molecules around to create sculpture. It's incredible stuff and even though it starts out a bit awkward he really gets into it when he starts talking about his work.
Shakespeare Journals
Etsy is a dangerous, dangerous place. I may have spent waaaaaaaay too much money on journals and illustrations at this shop. They're all just so pretty... and they had to be mine.
Shakespeare Insult Kit
Because this is awesome and people should get more creative with their insults. :) Plus, I'm going to need something to write in that journal I bought.
