A little quick linkblogging

[womzilla]

sarah_ovenall had a terrific post last week comparing and contrasting daytime soap operas and the Left Behind novels:

First Impressions
Left Behind: If you take an instant dislike to someone, that's a pretty good indicator that s/he is a minion of the Antichrist.
Soap Operas: If you take an instant dislike to someone, that's a pretty good indicator that you will very soon have sex with him/her.

She also points to the home page for this year's running of the Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race, a wonderfully absurd event in which people build and race elaborate art projects across land, sea, and mud.







She also took her own photos and wrote up the highlights. Go read.

Finally, I've lost track of where I got this link, but the Something Awful cereal boxes competition is terrific.

woo, links to me! The library came through with more Left Behind book so I'm back to reading them and working on another installment of LB vs Soap Opera:

Negotiating a successful marriage
Left Behind: "I don't have a problem submitting to you because I know how much you love me. I'm willing to obey you even when you're wrong. But don't be wrong if you don't have to be." --heroine Chloe Steele to her husband
Soap Operas: "I don't do sex for money. I do it because I like it." --antiheroine Kendell Hart to her fiance
