Bananarchy! Yes, Austin has a frozen banana stand. Mike has been several times and says they are awesome. I personally can't stand bananas but I am glad this exists.

The Princess is a really awesome little web comic. You should read it.

There's a hardcore crazy fascinating space MMO called Eve Online, and now they are going to make the World of Darkness MMO. I can safely say that's another video game I've wanted for years and years. I'm excited.

Transgender senior told he can't be homecoming king, despite votes. This is sad and frustrating. I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if I had been out about my gender during high school.

About the best thing out of the most recent season of Project Runway are these two crafty bloggers sewing doll clothes for each challenge. I think their takes on the hat challenge were actually quite awesome.

Everyone should read Hyperbole and a Half. I find myself sometimes compelled to shout "Parp!" at the top of my lungs now. (See the entry The Party to find out why.)

That's so funny because ever since I read that entry, in my head I've referred to my mother as "moun."

I made Rick read the Why I'll Never Be An Adult one, just because the "_____ ALL THE THINGS" / "____ all the things?" line has become an internet meme and he wasn't grasping the subtlety of it.

Also, could you mail me your therapist's contact info? Ed & Chelle have a MTF friend who's been having trouble finding someone since her last therapist died (doh!). And apparently, voice coaches are hard to find in Austin? Something to look forward to. =(
