Kirk and Spock are the 23rd-century Jeeves & Wooster: a very convincing video essay, featuring lots of well-timed eyebrows.
Huffington Post goes around analyzing the slash potential in photos of politicians. Ranging from the sweet to the sultry.
If You Were Gay, fake news edition. The expressions are perfectly chosen, and hilarious.
Speaking of fake news, if ever anyone was a little short for a Stormtrooper….
Speaking of Star Wars, what if it were an Icelandic saga? In, just to make things as epic as possible, Old Norse (with English translations).
The Hellsing Essays, part 1: a semi-serious but unabashedly invested aria to the glorious over-the-topness that is Hellsing. Spoileriffic to the extreme, but full of so much love that I almost want to recommend it to non-fans anyway, as a way of luring you all into the series.
The follow-up essay is on character, slightly more structured and equally fascinating. Here there are more things I actually disagree with, but it’s generated enthusiastic debate in the comments, all of which is more than worth a read.
A carefully reasoned theory on how Rose Tyler makes a whole lot more sense as a lesbian in denial.
Another reasoned theory, this one by P. G. Wodehouse, on how Sherlock Holmes was rich and evil.
And, combining the two: evidently the new Sherlock series exists in the same universe as Doctor Who. One of Sarah Jane’s aunt’s books is on Holmes’ bookcase 
The story of one of the ghostwriters behind the Hardy Boys: how much he secretly hated the books, and how bits of his innovation managed to slip through the torrent of drek anyway.

…before heading off to visit the grandparents! (Even though it’s the set of grandparents who have wireless.)
Well, great, I’m 22 and I feel old: “Studies performed by Dr. Rosen at Cal State show that 16- to 18-year-olds perform seven tasks, on average, in their free time — like texting on the phone, sending instant messages and checking Facebook while sitting in front of the television. People in their early 20s can handle only six, Dr. Rosen found, and those in their 30s perform about five and a half.”
An interactive map of Netflix rental patterns. I have spent far too long poking through this thing, looking at what gets rented around Boston.
Rebecca Drysdale Is A Time Traveling Lesbian. Officially up near the top of my list of Best Things Ever.
Nation’s Nipples Severely Under-Clamped, U.S. Bureau of Masochism Reports. Total cardboard BDSM stereotypes, but I loled anyway.
An overview of the whole spectrum of maid manga, in which Emma and Please, Jeeves get a shoutout for being the most relatively realistic of the lot. Also, via Sporadic Sequential, drawings from Kaoru Mori’s latest manga. If you thought Emma was ridiculously gorgeous…

This is not your mother’s periodic table. (…It’s funny if your mother is a chemistry teacher.) Look closely for elements like “podium”, “goofinium”, and “jazz.”
Ever read On Beyond Zebra? Dr. Seuss’ letters have their own Unicode extensions. My inner typeface geek (okay, it isn’t that far in) is flailing.
Speaking of geekery: a handy guide for getting into P. G. Wodehouse. Jeeves and all.
Opening titles to a vintage Krazy Kat cartoon. In fact, it turns out there’s a good mattering of Krazy on YouTube, including several animations by Herriman himself. Hand-drawn. In 1916.
Media personalities as Harry Potter characters. Jon and Stephen are Fred and George, and more. (I lol’d at Malcom Gladwell as Professor Trelawney.)
Speaking of the news, Sarah Palin’s farewell speech explained: it’s slam poetry! Masterfully performed here by William Shatner.

The flight from LA leaves tomorrow, the 13th, and arrives in New Zealand on the 15th. Thanks to the International Date Line, I may not actually spend any of this year in the 14th. (Thus the subject line.)
No idea how quickly I’ll be able to reestablish Internet access after that, so bear with me.
In the meantime, have some links:
A heartwarming tale of what happens when marriage meets cancer.
The Onion on Japan’s creepy porn. (I’m not even sure this is exaggerated.)
The Guild, an awesome webseries about a group of MMORPGers.
The only summary of Hellsing you really need. (Spoileriffic, obviously.)
Finally, the BBC is running The Code of the Woosters. Not sure if it’s a reading or a dramatization, but if you want an introduction to Jeeves & Wooster, try this out.
