‘Tis the season for festive food!
My 11 year old and I were discussing recently what we might give to his teacher for a Christmas/end of year gift this year. Mr M is a lovely young bloke and this has been his first year of full time teaching, so I figure he’s likely to enjoy getting individual gifts from the kids [...]

Thursday Cheezburger: Holiday Kittehs, Bonus Triple Edition.
Post your own favourite Holiday or Curmudgeonly Holiday-Avoidance LOLcritter here, and wait for admin image magic to make it appear. Feel free to present LOLs about the holiday of your choice, or about your dislike of blanket holiday coverage. Is there something you’d rather be doing?
The holiday hiatus seems to have snuck up on us
There will probably still be the occasional post over the next few weeks, but I think we’re mostly either horrendously busy or already enjoying a holiday. There will definitely be, at the appropriate times, an open Dr Who (Ten’s Finale) Open Thread for those of you who catch up with it as soon as it’s broadcast in the UK, and an occasional Femmostroppo Reader.
Blokes calling out blokes: “Butterbodies” on Spike TV
[Left to right: Drew Barrymore, Tyra Banks, and Sara Ramirez.]
After airing those Douchebag oTY contestants, here are some mad props – to an unlikely sort of crowd, the commentariat at Spike TV.
Metaphysics, Parenting, and the Supernova.
We revisited the end of the Earth today.

Sydney Hoydenizens: Anyone up for Yuletide Drinks?
Beppie is a regular commenter at Hoyden About Town who is currently organising drinkies instead of writing her thesis. In the interests of good conversation, celebrating the approaching Summer Solstice, and getting squiffy, I’ll be organising a Yuletide Drinks meetup for Sydney-based Hoydenizens sometime in December, probably at the Courthouse Hotel in Newtown (Bulmers [...]
Whoydensday: Guess Who’s Guesting?
Update: Oops – forgot that some people might not like casting spoilers. Moving the casting rumours to the end of the post behind a cut. The title of the Christmas Episode has been revealed: The Next Doctor. RTD is mucking us about again, what do you reckon? This week’s bonus link is definitely the Procrastination [...]
ObWhoydensday Quick Hit: Who is back!
Auntie’s got her act together: this Sunday night at 7:30pm! That’s the Doctor Who 2007 Christmas Special, guest starring our own Singing Budgie, who I really liked in this part. They don’t say so incontrovertibly, but the ABC website does strongly imply that the first episode of Season 4 will follow the next week. Now, [...]
