The Maniac Muslim (formerly known as The Brown Times) [Naveed G.]: Just read the latest article, The Need to Eid. As always thoroughly amusing despite being quite often politically and factually incorrect.

Viva La Flesh by Reem Khan [ Zag Talk ]: Deals with the supposed new immorality of society (not imortality). Dunno why I’m even posting it come to think of it. Didnt quite approve of the article. Just a lot of hoity toity words meant to enrage and shock. It’s ironic that this article was published in The Daily Times, of all places, which happens to be the most prolific Pakistani tabloid out there. Therefore encouraging said behaviour. Also the whole photograph removal request angle, I think it would be perfectly valid to request not to be included in a magazine just because an overzeolous, scandal hungry photographer went trigger happy.

The Quipping Queen: I just liked the introductions for each author. Other than that didn’t really strike my funny bone.

Pandora [Dee]: Am still trying to figure out how this site works. Is supposed to give you recommendations of other bands based on bands you enter.

Chapati Mystery: This one is like 3 Quarks Daily. Both stellar writing just… far too intricate for mere browsing. So for someone like me who refrains from touching the keyboard other than at work, they never get read. Sigh. Someday.

Ninjabi.: Funky shirts. My hijabi friends will be getting some neat gear this year.

The article is a little old but just came across it so…

So many Americans who had felt pride in our country now feel anguish and shame, for the current regime of blood, wounds and fire. I thought of the clean linens at your table, the shining knives and the flames of the candles, and I could not stomach it….

– Open Letter to Laura Bush by Sharon Olds [The Nation]

Guy #1: You’re going to put yourself in an alcohol-induced coma!
Guy #2: You mean sleep?

– The Spoke, overheard by Zachary [ Overheard at UWO ]

Another one:

Girl #1: Dammit, the hand dryer isn’t working.
Girl #2: You know what? It’s actually more unsanitary if you use those. They just pick the dirty air up off the floor and recycle it on your hands.

– Women’s washroom [ Overheard at UWO ]

Thanks to Confessions of a Nimmbu for the link. Am quite amused.

Girl: The f**kin’ R train is a motherf**kin’ myth. I swear to god, it’s the f**kin’ unicorn: only fools and virgins can see it.

–Canal Street N/Q/R/W station [Overheard in New York]

The above quote may seem quite random. I suppose its more of an empathy thing. The NYC subway system is whack. Has its perks i.e. the thing is massive. Luck seems to have a lot to do with which train you end up on.

Stuff on my cat: Some pretty darn funny pics. (Too many adjectives no?). This one looks like one of my cats.

Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo :
Just in case you really really want Google to take over the world. Hell, I’m all for it.

CSF II: Dogs without borders. Ranting.

Artie: Easy, automated method for getting album covers for ipod songs.

The Superficial - Because you’re ugly: Humourous tabloid.

(Darn. I cant seem to fix that link for Google. It keeps taking the entire sentence as a link and Wordpress is refusing to save the closing tag. Argh)

Toronto Outdoor Club

Where is Lepos? [Daily Dose of Imagery]: Interesting how things catch on around the world. Reminds me of the “Where is Waldo” days and the 7-up ads.

Cinematheque Ontario: Organization dedicated to world cinema.

Wearable Tech:
-Pardon, Your Dress Is Singing [Wired]: I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around this one
-Levi’s Press Release on the new Ipod compatible jeans: I’m not even going to bother with listing the zillions of other ipod friendly fashion statements out there.
