Just a few fun diversions:
Computer voices sing karaoke in Dictionaraoke - songs from Abba, Bob Marley, and The Ramones ('i wanna be sedated'...? i nearly peed in my pants!)...oh god, what FUN!
As a former paperdoll lover, I've enjoyed this site for a long time. I kinda wish they had Cher and Ru Paul to dress up, but when they created a chance to put Elvis in black high tops and a rainbow t-shirt...oh lordy, this girl was in heaven!
As if I didn't already know it, I'm not the only Star Wars* geek out 
there. Charles Rose performs the entire movie all by himself on stage - one man and a cast of thousands. Brilliant. (*and when i say 'star wars,' i'm talking the original series. we purists know the 2nd series was crap-o-la...) (oh my god, i am such a geek!)
Got any favorite diversionary links to share?
Here are a few ...
www.podapic.com ... you know how the iPod commercials feature those cool images of dark silhouettes with the white iPod wires, etc.? Well, at this site, you can actually get one with your own image ... for a fee, of course ... but looking through the gallery is a lot of fun, too.
www.dontdatehimgirl.com (don't you just love that URL?) ... heard about this one on the radio on my way to the doctor's last week. It's a site where women can go to rat out a guy who cheated on them, or who pretended to be single when he was really married (shocking, I know!), all in the name of sparing their sisters from the same fate. One can also search on a guy to see if he's listed. I'll need to share this one with all my single girlfriends :-)
Finally, here's another cute diversion, along the lines of the 'paperdoll' site, only this one features Stinky the Skunk: http://www.kimandjason.com/e-cards/create.php?card_id=155.

Don't have any diversionary links...but since you're a Star Wars purist, just thought I'd tell you that they filmed part of "Return of the Jedi" in my hometown. Part of "E.T." too. (The redwood forests? All there.)
