I was strolling through the children’s section of our local public library, and I spotted the spine of this book on the shelf. I thought, “is that really a kids’ book about Twitter?!” and grabbed it to take a closer look. As it turned out, it’s not a book about the Twitter “fail whale,” but a story about a boy and a whale.
Still, I thought it was pretty funny, and worth sharing. If you’re familiar with Twitter and the infamous “fail whale” that is displayed when the service is unavailable and/or over capacity, you will appreciate the humor in the coincidence.
If you’re not a regular watcher of Family Guy, you probably missed Seth Macfarlane’s animated version of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. (If you’re wondering, that’s the one that starts on the ice planet Hoth, and Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite.) That’s okay, though, because it’s now available on hulu.com, and you can see the whole thing online for free!
And even if you’re not a fan of Family Guy, you’ll still understand the parody and humorous asides, as long as you’re familiar with the dialogue and jokes from the original version of “Empire.” Enjoy!
P.S. I’ve watched all of the Star Wars movies more times than I can count, and I’m embarrassed to admit that I still don’t know what a nerf-herder is. Am I the only one who doesn’t know?
Hi. My name is Heather, and I’m a Facebook addict.
You know how it is when you first join Facebook, and you go a little bit crazy with everything? It’s fun, it’s novel, and you click “Like” and “Share” and you “Poke” your friends all the time? You know, right? It’s not just me. (That’s what I tell myself…)
So it’s normal for Facebook newbies to go nuts at first, with the games and sharing features. But you know there are a few people who take the craziness to an extreme. They never outgrow those noobish tendencies, and they drive people crazy by flooding the news stream with their stuff.

How did this happen? My kids will be out of school in a day and a half, and then we’ll have a whole summer of family togetherness. Every day, we’ll be together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus, since the days are so long and beautiful, and the sun doesn’t set until almost 9 p.m., [...]
My five year-old daughter watched me getting ready one morning. She observed me brushing my hair, applying make-up and getting dressed. As I spritzed on a bit of my favorite perfume (Fracas by Robert Piguet), she said…
Hey, Mom? I know why you use that. It’s so you can smell good. Like bananas and cheese!
