I don’t have any fun web distractions to offer, but I do hope you feel better soon!

On the webcomic front, Scary Go Round is one of my favorites, and has a completely enormous archive for the time-passing. You may already know of it, though, since I think Josh reads it.

I have found the games at http://www.armorgames.com to be of a consistent quality.

If you want laughter and don’t think it’s politically incorrect — try some mangled english at http://www.engrish.com

The Mansion of E is a very odd narrative webcomic of which I've grown quite fond. Best of all, its archive consists of almost 2000 strips, so if you aren't already reading it, you'll be a long time catching up. During my last cold, incredible as it may seem, I actually grew tired of Desktop Tower Defense. Fortunately I found Vector Tower Defense to fill the gap. (But I'm better now, and back to Desktop Tower Defense.) Zen-game-wise-speaking, you might also check out Planarity.

The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda’s porch. After moving to New York, George missed the sense of connection he had felt sharing stories with his friends back home, and he decided to invite a few friends over to his New York apartment to tell and hear stories. Thus the first “Moth” evening took place in his living room. Word of these captivating story nights quickly spread, and The Moth moved to bigger venues in New York. Today, The Moth conducts six ongoing programs and has brought more than 2,000 live stories to over 60,000 audience members.
