Luna bars, movie whiplash, and more inspirations

May 9th, 2006 · No Comments

  • Lisa Williams has “annotated” her desk. Best inspirational signage ever!
  • Niek Hockx wonders what happened to springtime as he shutterclogs off to the beach
  • Congratulations to Ronni Bennett, who’s soon going “home” to the place she once longed for but lost.
  • Tingilinde has some great tips on walking.
  • Liz Lawley recommended Luna Bars in February–my family has been enjoying them ever since!
  • Dave points to some ongoing hot OPML action.

Great quote from Liz Henry about an emotion I think of as “movie whiplash”:

I had that feeling… where you’ve been perfectly manipulated emotionally by a movie and can SEE exactly how and it’s sort of cheesy and embarrassing, but also incredibly profound and moving. So I’m being overanalytical on the movie at the same time as I’m crying a little bit and going “Nooooooo! Get on the train!!!!!” or “Kiss her, you fool!” or whatever.

And Pen-Elayne posted her own fine linkfest, including a pointer to this hilarious Metabloggery at No More Mister Nice Blog:

Let’s see: Here’s Atrios complaining about Mark Kleiman complaining about Atrios favorably linking to Digby complaining about Wonkette complaining about Peter Daou complaining about the media refusing to proclaim that Stephen Colbert was funny at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Give that man a prize for the ultimate in meta-blogging! As for me, sorry for my recent light blogging–I’m having a “crisitunity,” so thank goodness the rest of the world keeps on doing such interesting things.
