Stolen from an LJ I read, we have a list of new entries in the OED. There are some great ones here like ‘bitch slap’, ‘gaydar’, ‘loungecore’, ‘buggeration’ and ‘shitload’. Yes, we now have a definition of what a shitload is. Unfortunately I can’t find out what it is without subscribing to the OED.

Wow, I hadn’t seen this before. Dane Carlson has a page listing many many many (1485 to be exact) Which * are you? quizzes. Some of the links don’t go to quizzes anymore, but it’s still an impressive list. It includes such classics as:

• Which Squirrel Are You
• Which smilie are you?
• Which Sailor Senshi Are You?
• Which Marc Almond are you?

I love it.

For those of you living in the Broadway area in Cambridge, the Broadway Marketplace has opened up again after recovering from its roof collapsing due to snow. It’s pretty nice in there, and a bit overpriced as usual, but it is really handy having it so close.

Or at least close to it [via Boston Common].

(I’ve started posting the date with my QOTDs so that my LJ mirroring script will forward them over better).

For those local folks, I’m looking for suggestions on more places to try for pizza delivery. When I first moved here I used to order from Stefnai’s all the time. But it seemed like their quality started to go downhill after a while (their calzones seemed to get more oily (as did their pizzas, it would soak through to the bottom of the pizza in the center). For a while I ordered from Chicago Pizza on Mass Ave because I could order online, but their pizza was a little random in quality. Lately I’ve been ordering from J&J’s in Somerville, which just happened to deliver to my place. I’ve been most happy with them lately, but I’m kind of curious as to what’s out there. And, like Heath, I don’t like Domino’s that much.

So those of you in Cambridge, specificly people in the Harvard Sq/Central Sq/Inman Sq areas, which do you recommend for delivery places? Oh yeah, I also ordered from Tommy’s once, but they were so slow and inept I’ll never order from there again (pizza arrived after 1.5 hours, then the driver didn’t have change and had to drive back for it and didn’t make it back for almost another 1 hour. I ordered at 10 and could barely stay awake to get my change).

Both Dane Carlson and Scobleizer ask ‘Where’s John Robb?’. I was actually just wondering the same thing a day or two ago and noticed he hasn’t posted in ages. He always had interesting posts.

I found this cool little flash thing over on Lyn’s LiveJournal. There just seems to be so much going on in it, I’m going to have to try it again and see what else I can find in it (look out for the boxing angel).

I just got done watching The Animatrix. Overall I thought the animatrion was really good, some of it breathtaking. Music was also pretty good throughout. Even the stories were interesting for the most part. But, something felt missing. I haven’t seen the movie yet (hopefully tomorrow or monday), but I don’t think that should make a big difference. I guess with all the hype I had been expecting to be wowed more. On the other hand, I do think it may help to expose more people to animation and show that it isn’t just for kids. It’s definitely worth a rental to see if you like it.
