As if you needed more sites to sink yourself into, right? Well, here are a few that I've wasted hours on...

Funny Stuff

• Stuff White People Like. (Though it could probably also be called "Stuff Yuppies Like".)
• SImon's Cat
• May I take your order? Good to eat mountain!
• How to Destroy the Earth
• 6 pounds of ham

Flash Games

• Planet Defender
• Amanita Design, creators of the whimsical Samorost and Samorost 2 games, plus a few others.
• Questionaut is another beautiful flash game by the guys from Amanita Design.
• Quadradius is a 2-player game; it starts off kinda like checkers, but quickly becomes a wild ride as pieces capture orbs that give them all kinds of powers. The board often looks like a war zone by the time it's over. Fun game!
• Bloxorz, a 3-d puzzle game
• RSVP is a quirky 50's-deco-style card game; you have to match the colors of cards around the table.
• Microlife - help the little micros grow up and defend their colony. Cute!
• Acno's Energizer - addictive. I wish there were more levels (then again, maybe not...)
• Net - connect the blocks of the circuit using wires.
• Orisinal - A bunch of cute (but simple) flash games by Ferry Halim
• Telescope game, made by (of all things) a vacuum-cleaner company.

Other Games

• Kingdom of Loathing - an online game with minimal graphics and wacky adventures.
• Here is Alida, a Myst-like game.
• Bookworm Game (java)... Josh got me hooked on this. Then he told me the evil trick (spoilers!) to beating it, and I played til I had a million points. Then I was tired, so I quit. (Apparently since then they've changed the game so that the gold blocks have a limited lifespan. ah well.)

Miscellany

• How to Be Creative
• Caring for your Introvert
• Field Guide to the Loner
• Turn yourself into a South Park character
• The singing horses (flash)

Foodie Stuff

• Tastespotting will make you hungry...
• Buckskin Orchard sells Washington cherries, apples and pears, shipped direct from their orchard when the fruit is in season (which, for cherries, is a very few weeks in the summer). But oh, are they good.
• If heaven has a grocery store, surely it must be like Central Market.
• Comfort Foods makes a fantastic Jalapeno Vegetable dip mix.
