It’s that time again!

Remember when I was going through a medswitch and it was sucking and so I asked y’all to distract me? Well, I am not switching meds, but this week still sucks for its own reasons, and everything is making me nervous, and by god I need distracting again. So please, Internet, I appeal to you: DISTRACT ME.

Go ahead! It can be anything! Videos! Book recommendations! Dumb mindless Flash games! Blogs! GIFs! Trivia! Puzzles! Timesuck sites! Anything! JUST POST SOMETHING.

Here, I’ll get us started with distractions of my own:

The Food Timeline, on the history of food.

ARKive is an image database of the biological organisms of Earth. It is also blessed by my main man David Attenborough!

Torn World is a source of anxiety for me right now because it is a responsibility for me, but if you're not in the Land Of Neuroses you get things like sea monsters, the mysteriously tame Rainbow Rainforest, and huge shaggy unicorns. It's pretty damn cool, really.

And videos:



(I love the Two-Headed Monster so much, especially when you see how each head entertains itself "alone.")



Okay, your turn!

Not even trying HTML today.

In between studying feverishly I've mostly been occupying myself this week with ridiculous, awesome British childrens' show Knightmare. My various shots at explaining it all sucked, so I'll just link you to the first episode at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bwK5H8Ui-E&playnext=1&list=PLD834850F29F3069D and assert that if you aren't hooked within the first episode I'll eat my hat.

If you're in the mood to get your Twilight hate on, there's the awesome blog Reasoning with Vampires at http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/ which is written by a heavily literary young woman who snarks up the language side of the books as well as the themes.

And there's always this weird little Java dealie that makes beautiful flamey art: http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame/index.html#top. (I personally keep trying to do a good Trogdor, with limited success.)

I may post more as I think of 'em. In the meantime, do know that we miss you like hell over here and wish you the best.
