1) One of the best books I bought last year is Will You Still Love Me If I Wet The Bed? by Liz Prince. I swear, every time I pick it up I don’t put it down until I’ve read it end to end again. I also don’t stop chortling to myself until it’s done. The reason it’s so compelling (and funny), though, is that anyone who’s ever been in a relationship founded on doing incredibly nerdy and embarrassing things with their partner while no one else is looking (and sometimes even if they are) will see themselves reflected over and over again in its pages. And let me assure you from personal experience that it’s amazingly cathartic and satisfying to realise there’s other people like you out there… people who say dorky things while they surreptitiously grope their partner’s privates. Yes, both a cheap and side-splitting read—if you say no to that then you’re no fun and I don’t want to know you.

2) I got interviewed for an upcoming issue of Vancouver Magazine on the grounds that I’m an Asian hipster. Anyone who knows me will find that hilarious. I do.

3) While checking the stats on theg33k.com, I discovered that one of the search strings that led to it was “g33k = infinite beauty”. This is not only incredibly awesome, it’s also true.

I did some tweaking and revising on TheG33K.com over the past couple of days. No new content or layouts per se, but it’s hopefully a little easier to navigate and a little less cluttered. Malloreigh and I might put our heads together sometime in the not too distant future to see if we can’t make it look a little more awesome, but that’s still in the theoretical stages right now.

Incidentally, when I was running checks on all the site pages to see if they work properly, I booted them up first in Firefox (which I use exclusively) and then in Internet Explorer (which I use exclusively for testing webpages on). What happens within literally two minutes of booting up IE? I get a message from Spybot telling me that something’s trying to change my registry. I haven’t gotten a message like that in months–maybe a year. Damned if I don’t hate Microsoft sometimes. (By the way, you know Firefox 2.0 is out now, don’t you? Yeah, you should use it; it’s good).
