Open thread while I'm in Michigan.

Lilly says that it's time for an open thread. Obey the Siamese. (Lilly also says that whomever caused her monkey to leave the house for an entire weekend will face her wrath. This is because Lilly is secretly a tiny medieval warlord in a fuzzy, soft, pettable coat. Who's the cutest destroyer? IZZIT YOU?!)

But anyway. Open thread! Say anything! Woo! Lilly says so.



Comment amnesty is on for this post, but I will be reading, and may reply anyway, because I'm wacky like that.

See y'all next week!

I'm fundraising for Extra Life. Extra Life is an annual charity fundraiser to raise money for pediatric cancer research and treatment. It was founded four years ago by the gaming site Sarcastic Gamer. The first year gamers all over the world raised over $120,000, and the event has only grown since.

It works like a walk-a-thon, except that (being an event designed by gamers) it's a game-a-thon instead. I sign up sponsors to support my marathon, and on October 15 I'll be playing video games for twenty-four hours. Every year so far I've managed to last the entire duration of the event, while wimpy college kids pass out around me. It's fun, it's grueling, it's for a great cause, and I'd like to keep up my streak!

I'm playing for Beaumont Children's Hospital in Royal Oak, MI. All donations made on my fundraising page go directly to the hospital. There are no middlemen or processing fees. Donations made in the US are tax deductible, but anyone can donate!

For for information on Extra Life, here's a link to their home page: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.eventDetails&eventID=501

And here's my donation page: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&eventID=501&participantID=5630

The site suggests a donation of $24 (a buck an hour) but you can donate any amount. I believe this is also the first year that you can donate via PayPal, so making a secure donation is even easier.

THANK YOU!
