Ha! Anonymous slaps the WBC for using them for publicity.

[A]s you may have heard, we trade in Lulz. You just do not have enough to offer right now. While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment. But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become available in future.

Then, during a radio interview with one Anon (today, I think), the WBC downloads page was hacked. [link] And shortly after their whole site was down, I assume as a result of the above. So complicated!

Speaking of Cumberbatch.

Oooh, I think that series is playing at my local theatre.

Emmett's friend Jake slept over last night (it's ski week), so I had to feed two teenage boys breakfast this morning. Eggs, bacon, biscuits... it just went on and on.

They've been having a Steve Carrell marathon: Anchorman last night, Little Miss Sunshine this morning.

Hope for the new generation: in the scene in Little Miss Sunshine where Richard (Greg Kinnear - the father) is pressuring Olive (his young daughter) not to eat ice cream because he thinks she's too chubby, both boys were railing at him.

"Richard is such a dick!"

"Shut up Richard!"

This is depressing:

10 Agribusiness Methods That Could Fail in the Next 20 Years.

Especially this:

10) Chocolate
It's nature's anti-depressant, but within 20 years, chocolate may be the new caviar, warns the Ghana-based Nature Conservation Research Council. Says director John Mason: "[Chocolate] will become so rare and so expensive that the average Joe just won't be able to afford it." It's not just that rising demand is outstripping supply of chocolate, which is grown on cacao trees. It's also the fact that chocolate growers in Ghana and other countries have gone over to methods that are quicker, but doomed to failure all too soon.

Noooooooooo!!!

I'm kind of ridiculously excited that my favorite dressmaker is making the Oscar dress for the director of "Winter's Bone." [link]

The world won't let chocolate go away.

Besides, there's always mock-late.

Republicans Vote To Repeal Obama-Backed Bill That Would Destroy Asteroid Headed For Earth

From The Onion, of course. But here Sasha Volokh argues that in this hypothetical case:

I think there’s a good case to be made that taxing people to protect the Earth from an asteroid, while within Congress’s powers, is an illegitimate function of government from a moral perspective.

Asteroid defense and libertarianism

Note to self: Libertarianism = freaky.

Remember how CJ tried to scare the life out of me when he tried out for Guys and Dolls? He is Gambler #4 and is the guy who runs into the mission, like a complete maniac, to tell everyone to get out. Should be interesting.

I am sitting in an airport, waiting for shrift, watching Glee on Hulu, and torrenting Justified.

I do kind of like the future.

Is jealous of Dana.
