Happy almost-weekend everyone! Woo-hoo! To send you out on a high note, I would like to share these delicious morsels from the blogosphere…

First, Roommate Joe and his friend AB Chao delivered a hilarious live-blog of the short program portion of Men’s Olympic Figure Skating. Even if you missed the skaters or don’t know a thing about them, I encourage you to read this recap and enjoy phrases such as “I’d like to invite Evan Lysacek to jump straight up my ass.”

Second, over at Benefit of the Doubt, Jesse Miksic writes smart things about movies. I’m especially impressed by his deconstruction of what goes wrong in Wolfman. He even creates a vector graphic to prove one of his points. That’s commitment, people.

Third, have a gander at “Five Frames From,” a wicked-fun game over at My New Plaid Pants. You see five still-frames from a movie, and then you have to guess the movie. Whoa!

Finally, if you are a geek for statistics, then you should lose yourself for a few moments in College Results Online. It’s a website that breaks down major stats from tons of colleges and universities. What’s the average SAT score at Brown? How many women graduated from UC Irvine in 2005? Find out here! (Here’s a tip… once you look up a school, click on the tab that says “similar colleges.” That’s where you’ll find the most stats laid out in the most accessible way.)
