I’m totally loving this site, The Periodic Table of Videos from the University of Nottingham. A short video about each element is available by clicking on the table or by checking out their YouTube profile. Lauren Cooper clearly needs no assistance, and the producers of Look Around You just might have gotten their elements a bit mixed up.

I’ve seen the trailer for Watchmen and even having never read the book, it looks great. I plan to get through the series at some point this weekend.

Paramount will be giving out some promo posters for Star Trek at Comic Con, Entertainment Weekly has a sneak peek at them. The four combine into the larger image, but fans are only getting one-per. I don’t think the die-hards will have trouble getting a complete set. I’d like to be more excited about this movie but… *meh. It’s probably because I’ve read too many spoilers online about what is, isn’t and might be happening.

Kris said that they were good and he was not wrong! It tastes a bit like the old Carnation Instant Breakfasts, but a little richer. And I did observe the barista putting in a whole banana and whey powder, so their claims are at least true on that front.

To compare my usual order to the new offering:

• Vanilla Latte (venti): Calories 320, Fat Calories 80
• Chocolate Banana Vivanno with a shot of espresso (grande): Calories 260, Fat Calories 40

I’ve been skipping “coffee for breakfast” for a few days now, so having it is more like a treat, but this smoothie is some tasty stuff! I doubt it would become an everyday thing, but while it’s in season, I could definitely replace this with my morning java and be just fine.

I am trying, very hard, not to change the overall design of the blog again. I like this theme even if it does put my smilin’ mug by every entry. I’ll be messing with the sidebar somewhat and trying to figure out how to give proper props to the blogroll people. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis, but it’s always hard to put them on the front page since the list goes on and on.
