Cora the Adventure Doll, Tom Smith & Babylon Five

Cora, for those of you who don't know, is a doll that came with a Happy Meal I ordered from MacDonald's ages ago. She's very homely. Her hair is lopsided with unsightly stubble in places, and she has plastic undies. As soon as I saw her, I was immediately torn between (1) cherishing her forever, and (2) tossing her in the nearest waste bin. I opted for the former because well, we all have a little Cora in us, don't we?





Cora has accompanied me on many adventures. At the cottage, she nearly ended up in a watery grave when I accidentally (it was an accident! I swear!) dropped her in the lake. Jeff heroically rescued her:





Anyway, here are the latest Cora pics, all taken during FilKONtario weekend:

Video O' The Day: "Five Years"

The song is a parody of "One Week," words by the world's fastest filker, Tom Smith. Video courtesy OzShadow in Australia. You can find more info about Tom in his Web site, including a link to his Song A Week project. Tom's next concert is at Duckon in Chicago (June 8-10th).
