The Princess Bride

Last night I watched The Princess Bride with Amy and Li. The movie is so silly, and yet I always find myself loving it– hell, I can recite the sword-fight and battle of wits almost from memory. The funniest highlight this time, though, would be Amy squealing with delight when Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) came on stage, and she went “Calcifer!” (continued)

Free Rice

Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.  It’s a game that tests your vocabulary.  Each time you get a word’s meaning correct, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Program.  So, give Free Rice a whirl.  I bet you’ll have fun and you’ll get to help make strides toward ending hunger.
