Sundries and some other stuff:

*This quote from Alan Rickman made me smile.

*Lady Gaga Wackiness One: (NSFW) Purported photos of her having a shibari session (that's rope bonage; partial nudity)

*Lady Gaga Wackiness Two: Set photos from Weird Al's parody "Perform this Way" (SFW, but maybe not your eyes)

*This is the single most horrifying Harry Potter related thing I've ever seen or heard of. And I am counting ALL THE FANFICTION. Even the Giant Squid x Hogwarts dubcon fic.

*Lady Gaga Wackiness Three: So, at Pinewoods, jere7my wrote an ah-may-zing parody of Bad Romance. The lyrics are here.

The best part of this is I was squeeing on Twitter, and realized that I was basically being a complete hipster. Have the subsequent half-dozen tweets:

Flailing like mad because @jere7my posted the lyrics to the best SCD-Gaga parody ever

(Is it obscure? Oh gods to the fuck yes. But trust me, if you could understand it, you'd know it's awesome. #ScottishCountryHipster)

"What? No, closing in third is so mainstream. I close in fifth." #ScottishCountryHipster

"Instead of Highland setting, I just stand here so everyone can see how much I don't care" #ScottishCountryHipster

I'd wear a kilt, but all that tartan would clash with my ironic sweatervest. #ScottishCountryHipster

Parcel of Rogues? Why can't we ever dance to The Decemberists? #ScottishCountryHipster

The music will tell you what to do...it'll just tell me what to do better. #ScottishCountryHipster

My clan's colours are black and dark grey, to reflect the darkness of our soul. #ScottishCountryGoth

I'm very very sorry. This is how I amuse myself. I know like maybe two people on my entire friends list even understood what the hell I was going on about.

Also, if you write me more #ScottishCountryHipster things, I may just love you forever.

*Sparr linked me to this modular mattress design, to be a cuddle mattress for couples (or moresomes). Awww!

(I wish it looked a little more comfortable.)

*I spent the day wandering around Harvard Square with crystalpyramid and ccommack

WOAH! WOAH YOU GUYS! HOLD EVERYTHING! Livejournal now allows you, when you friend someone, to filter by tags --include or exclude their entries in your feed. So like, if you only want to read someone's "food" entries, you just tick the "food" button and this is AWESOME.

Anyways, them and I and jere7my wandered around the Totoro store and got ice cream and looked at books and chatted a lot about various things. I learned so much gossip about SWIL and Swarthmore folks, you have no idea. I need to draw a flowchart.

At any rate, it was nice to finally meet crystalpyramid, and it was lovely to put an identity to ccommack who I see all over the place. Yay!

*I think Google+ was designed just so The Oatmeal could make this wonderful joke.

*Speaking of Google, they have a new project which brings you high-res versions of art in museums. Pretty!

*Wil Wheaton presents "Probably the best idea I've ever had.

*And in other news, I've got something going on that's so terrifically cryptic I can't decide what cryptic one liner to use to represent it! It's pretty rad, suffice to say.

It was a lot of fun wandering and hanging out with you! Also, my username isn't showing up properly in your post for some reason.

[sorcyress]

I was trying to figure out how to make it show up as a dreamwidth user, rather than LJ. Apparently I failed, a lot.

Mattress: awesome. I've wanted something that could do that for about a decade. Though I wonder how the sheets work.

I don't think there's a way to have usernames show up properly in both DW and LJ, since they use different custom tags, and neither of them knows whether a username on the other site matches one on theirs. (Well, I guess they could know, but I think they don't for this purpose, at least.)

Yeah, when i cross-post, i manually edit the elljay entry with the correct tag.
