Munchkins, you are exhausting. It was another tumultuous week here at Crasstalk. Fighting, flouncing, forgiving. Well, very little of that last one really. Here’s your Crasstalk COW, you wretched little beasts.

Oh good. Google has decided that the world is ready for digital glasses. That’s right. It’s just about time that we all had facts and data broadcast mere inches away from our eyeballs. This won’t be infuriating in the least. Not one single person will become that guy who has the new fangled Web-Specs, and like a cyborg, will start rattling off all the fun! exciting! mind-numbingly inane things! he just looked up on Google from rolling his head to the side, blinking at lightning speed, and basically walking into traffic because Todd, just had to show off. This thing will be awesome. (The machines. They’ve been sent to kill us.) Continue reading
Let’s get this straight: This is not book club.
This is a book…discussion. I thought it would be fun to talk about what we’re all reading, so we can all open ourselves to new avenues of words.
I’ve always loved to read. I cannot remember not having a book in my hands.
My grandmother — Gam — had a stack of books by her bedside, bookcases filled to overflowing throughout her apartment, and boxes to catch the overflow. She leaned towards authors like Belva Plain and Nora Roberts. But what I liked, as a little girl, where the two decades worth of Readers’ Digests stacked on the bookcase in the back hall. “These are easy to read,” Gam told me, putting on her reading glasses, opening the old magazines, and pointing with her pink fingernails, always freshly polished. “At the end of the stories, there are always these little jokes.” Continue reading

As many of you know, there is a Crasstalk Politics Team that regularly discusses the issues of the day. One of our favorite pastimes is passing around links from the various sites we read on a regular basis. To encourage participation, I’m starting a new series called “Political Sausage” (so named because it’s made up of links, and seeing politics get made isn’t pretty), in which I will gather what I feel are the most entertaining or thought provoking links from around the web and share them with all of you. I encourage discussion, and hope all of you will post your own links as well. Continue reading
Sunday night is the 84th Academy Awards, ladies and gents, so get ready to indulge in our favorite love-to-hate-it yearly Hollywood ritual of glamour, self-love and flaccid jokes about how long the show is. Set your DVRs (the show starts with red carpet nonsense at 7EST/4PST on ABC) and start planning the themed snacks for your Oscar party now! (Poi for The Descendents? Hot dogs for Moneyball? Ah, hell, nothing’s gonna beat 1993, when in honor of The Piano, my brother made Lady Fingers.) Read on, will you? Continue reading
When he was a teenager, Jeremy Lin had a Xanga that will continue to haunt him for eternity (or maybe just until the next news cycle).
MartyFunkhouser used George Costanza’s answering machine song as his voicemail message for a year.

The United Nations. A place where over one hundred countries come together from around the world to trade recipes and animated cat gifs. Not unlike this very website.
This week, Ke$ha tells the sewtestants they can buy a random flag for a quarter from this table she has setup on the lawn of the United Nations building. Yes, Ke$ha is bringing back the yard sale, so get hip, kids. As always, there are spoilers. There will always be spoilers. So, click at your own risk! Continue reading
