My pitas page

The inner doughboy
A series of two on advertising spokescharacters. The people who create these things (Doughboy, Ronald McDonald, etc) are scary in their obsession. Look at the guy who wrote the Doughboy Bible alone. These are the perfect idealized, NO FLAW characters, and they have to be perfect friendly wonderful saintlike creatures who wouldn't do so much as drink the last of the milk. Ye gods!

T'inator
Mr. T takes over any website. How bizarre...try putting him on some administrative pages for real fun. I passed it on to people working at UCD and they had a blast.

Sushi Fortune Telling
You won't believe this one. What sushi you like can tell your fortune...Ironically, I couldn't find any sushi bits I like on this, so I just picked by which ones were the prettiest and came out with a pretty accurate fortune. Go figure.

Draggables
New form of cute art, apparently.

Designer games
Pure self-promotion at its finest. =)

Star Wars Chicks
Yes, a site featuring the babes of Star Wars (and yes, some hunks too....Han Solo...drooool...I love smartasses). Their logo graphic is so cute! Kinda sad how there's so few chicks in the movies, when you think about it. Heck, starwars.com's female character profiles try to make the list bigger by giving profiles on the inserted dancers in Jabba's palace in the redone ROTJ, and a bio on some woman running the controls on Hoth. This site has about five or six profiles of women in the SW universe, but they get into the book characters not in the movies, and they mention women that I think are in the second trilogy, but have had very little mention. Anyway, lots of chick stuff, SWgeek stuff, boards, and even a fashion report done at a wedding (I'll leave who the wedding is for as a surprise) This list is also pretty dang funny in places.

The 11th Hour
Really done sci-fi television (for the most part) web magazine. Buffy fan haven especially.

On the Issues
More excellent feminist writing. Put up some links to this site on IRC one night after commenting that I was reading some feminist stuff, and a friend said "Oh, I figured you were reading something less radical, like Ms." Hmmmmmm.

Moxie
On my search for good web reading, this has interesting stories done by women. Fairly short but pretty powerful.

About Face
On icky advertising, women, and weight. Good work. Plus I really like the columns Kathy Bruin writes here.

A Tribute to Sassy
Thishere section is a collection of all the things I could find on the departed and most brilliantly done magazine of all, Sassy. I keep hunting around for a magazine I can read of that caliber, and the closest I'm getting is Vanity Fair on the intellectualism bent. Oy. Most of these sites are archived articles and updates on the staffers, or the controversy surrounding Sassy's downfall. I should warn you though that a lot of links on most of these pages are dead, but some jewels remain. SISSY is a collection of articles from the lost last issue of Sassy, featuring celebrity writings. And Margie's got her own site featuring both Sassy stuff, her more recent writings, and quite a lot on her e-mail love affair turned marriage, which is quite sweet.

The Bench- Community Cartooning
Design your own cartoon! Looks like fun to me.

Loveline Quote Archives
The wit and wisdom of Adam Carolla. Need I say more?

H Building Pictures
These are some of the most frightening dorm pictures I've ever seen. (Yes, I know one person in them. I probably should not say who) Hilarious at times, though.

Dating Patterns Analyzer
This is surprisingly accurate. Plus I discovered that rich, monogamous men aren't good for me. Who knew?

Feminista
Has some well-done articles on it, fairly lengthy. Obviously a chick joint. This one I find best of all, though.

Savage Love
I know it's posted on various sites, but this one seems to have the most archived versions, so I'm picking here. I just have to. He rocks. Though has anyone seen the new column he does with his mom OnHealth now since he dumped the ABC column? The ABC column was good. Their columns are hard to find on the OnHealth site though. They first started out kinda flat, but now are getting the sass back (loved Judy's "imagine him as the head pin" advice!) They are now archiving the Dan and Judy chats, but you have to sort through the list of every OnHealth chat to find them. I think they're every Friday.

M$-Monopoly
This is just cool. Be sure to click on everything =)

Closeted Hetero
This is just a cool article showing it from the other side of coming out. I keep reading it from time to time, reminding myself that no, I can't just switch, even if sometimes things seem better on the other team.

On the Net with Love and Squalor
I looooooooooooooove Cynthia Heimel. When the hell's she gonna write another book already? Anyway, while I wait, I have these few links of her, the above article on meeting her future husband via the Web, and some online transcripts featuring her on Valentine's Day (she hates it) too.

Cockeyed
Some of the best visuals I've seen in awhile. Besides graphics, fun stories of putting up things on signs that shouldn't be there, Hot Pocket dissection, how much of that spray stuff is in a can, there's naughty food items and paper mache Elvis.

Hissyfit
I spend an inordinate amount of time looking around for more web journals to read, as I am a huge Salon addict and am always looking for the next Salon so I'll have more to read in the mornings before class (or in Salon's case, the night before, as they post at 9 p.m. my time =) Anyway, this is a fun ranty little site, as you probably guessed by the name.

Insanity tests!
Because you never know. It's always the truly insane ones who think they're perfectly normal. Which is why I'm offering three of the little boogers, just to make sure. Are You Insane? (minus horrendous capitalization) Are You Insane Again? (she did another)

Rabbitology
I'm dedicating this one to my ninth grade history teacher, who made us read Watership Down and then do projects on it. Honors classes at my high school were so whacked...in this particular class we did projects on castles and rabbits, in my English class the next year we hardly ever read, but had discussions while the teacher walked around, sometimes singing "Yellow Submarine" and occasionally randomly slamming his hand down onto my friend's desk. So why am I sharing these precious childhood memories when instead I should be commenting on how we should be safe in our burrows? I'm just a wacko that way.
