Things I Sort Of Wish Were Real (A very incomplete and conditional list)

1. Teleportation (or some form of apparation). Not for most travel purposes, obviously.

2. The MacView, which is detailed here. A Polish guy apparently did it for a design project before the iPad was revealed. I'm sorry for using the word iPad.

3. Knowledge transfer (or mind melding, but considering the fact that two things on this list are from Star Trek already, I think it's best that you pretend I don't know what it's called)

4. A command/Z function (aka edit/undo) for real life scenarios. Actually, maybe a complete Photoshop toolbar for real life scenarios. For use only with discretion, of course.

5. A One-Time-Only Reversible Zombie Outbreak, during which one could test the skills one has contemplated over the past few years (P.S. HOW am I not remembering toga zombie from Night of the Living Dead? It seems like something I would have at least noted.)

Gross

I am doing the thing where I blog while I wait for my lunch to microwave at work again... Only today I am so hungry that This is Why You're Fat is giving me ideas that I'm deeming actually edible, rather than torturously awful. I don't look at that site very often, and when I do I'm appropriately disgusted by most things on it (prime example). But today, something like The Smortuary seems kind of delicious.

(One thing I may never understand is the idea that bacon can be a dessert component. Of course that site showcases bacon in its most heinous forms, but even very reputable sources have been known to put bacon bits in things like cookies. Maybe it's really awesome? Maybe I'm preventing myself from a culinary land mine of glory. I'll never know.)

Anyway. This weekend was so springful and I took a few pictures of our GROW SOME THINGS initiative. For example, meet this fine family of jalapenos and chives:

You can tilt your head if you'd like to notice Jeremy telling me to be helpful and take this basil plant.

And here I am, planting and being as nonphotogenic as I can manage.

So there is a little glimpse of our garden (if you can use that word for grow boxes on an apartment balcony). This weekend also served up a good, strong sunburn and of course, Easter, Episcopal style. And zombies. There is no good spring weekend without a zombie film viewance.

Okay. I just scrolled through some more pages and This is Why You're fat has lost its hold on me. I think if they included pictures of people consuming these things, that website could easily become a component of my Room 101 (THERE, while I'm feeling linky).
