Although the most popular complaint against A Song of Ice and Fire series is the callous and unexpected ways in which George R.R. Martin kills off beloved characters (have you seen this?), my biggest complaint is that there are just too. Many. Damn. Characters. And as someone who is horrible with names — especially names that are difficult to pronounce (you […]
Honest Video Game Box Art
Honest Video Game Box Art is a Facebook page that edits video game covers to more accurately depict its gameplay, and/or what it does to the people playing it. As you can imagine, it hosts some pretty funny revisions. 😆 Here are some of my favorites — the Contra cover has to be my favorite! You […]
Browser Girls
The comic is pretty funny by itself, but the comments on it are hilariously accurate too! Here’s my favorite: IE10 is like the friend that said he would show up to the party early and bring tons of booze that everyone can have, but shows up 3 hours late with a 40 of king kobra […]
Because Sharing is Caring [Memos from Nick Fury]
Last week, both kids received their flu vaccines…and they’ve been coughing since. Claire seems to be holding up pretty well, but Aerin’s dry cough turned into phlegm-y, hacking fits which progressed to a fever. And with her surgery date so close, the doctor advised us to keep an extra watch on her. Like most kids, […]

Is it more common […]
Horror Movies, Vampires, and Fizzix!
This post is a link dump of sorts — three items I found especially interesting/funny and compelling enough for me to want to share them with you. 🙂 First up is a spoof trailer for Hell No, a horror movie starring characters who make…wait for it…good decisions. What a concept, huh? Take a look if you […]
Superheroes Walking With Their Kids
Today marks the end of Claire’s first full week of preschool. (Last week was a 3-day school week.) While she didn’t cry the first day, she shed some tears every morning after that…until yesterday, that is. She had a perfectly pleasant, tear-free day yesterday and J texted me to let me know that she didn’t […]

Disney Princesses as Capcom Fighters
I’m kind of in love with this set of restylized Disney princesses by MikeVDesign. I would love to play as Ariel to see if her trident is as intimidating as it looks, but I also want to stay true to my teenage years and play as Cinderella for her Chun-Li-esque hyakuretsukyaku. You may also like: […]
