Goofy Halloween video of the week:

Oops. Looks like I skipped last Friday night’s link dump. That just means more to share tonight!

• Law school exams are only six weeks away. Yikes! It’s also getting harder and harder to crawl out of bed every morning. Feeling a little burned out? Take a one-year creativity sabbatical. Oh, if only I could do just that. Seriously, though, I’d bet there is something to that. I always get my best ideas in the shower when my mind is wandering. In lieu of the sabbatical, here are 33 ways to get and keep yourself motivated.
• Did you  miss out on the Cash for Clunkers program and now you’re in the market for a new vehicle? Check out the Prombron, the world’s baddest SUV. Pay close attention to the disgusting repulsive horrifying unique seat covers. Eww, vom.
• I need another pet about as much as I need the Prombron, but PLEASE LOOK AT HOW CUTE THESE MICRO-PIGS ARE. Waaaaant. Bonus: Ron Weasley has one. Now you know they’re cool.
• Speaking of swine, FitSugar has some really great tips for warding off the H1N1 virus. It’s been making the rounds here for several weeks now. Don’t get it. If you do, stay away from me. Also, here’s a handy chart for determining whether your symptoms are caused by the swine flu or the regular flu.

Most pathetic/hilarious video of the week:

Yes, yes, I’m aware that this post is actually going out on a Saturday. But I thought about posting it on Friday, so that should count for something. Besides, I don’t want to have to change the name of the series just because I’m running a day behind.

So, without further ado, here are this week’s best links from my feed reader.

• Are you at all interested in interior design? If so, you should check out these 40 Excellent Examples of Interior Designs Rendered in 3D Max.
• Design not your thing? What about Hello Kitty?
• Traces of the anti-flu medication Tamiflu are showing up in rivers in Japan, and scientists are worried that this could result in a drug-resistant strain of the flu.
• Speaking of the flu, here’s a recipe for some do-it-yourself hand sanitizer.

Entertaining video of the week:

My poor, neglected Google reader dutifully collects tons and tons of articles and blog posts for me to read, and my new favorite Friday night activity is catching up on some reading that doesn’t have to do with consideration, but-for causation, or Rule 9. Okay, I’m old and I have no social life. Good grief.

Anyway, since I feel like I’ve been totally neglecting this blog lately, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share some of the best items from my feed reader (hence the name “friday night feeding”… get it?) with you in case you’re bored. Like me. Not that I’m complaining. Sometimes boredom is beautiful.

• Dan Brown, of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons fame, has a new book called The Lost Symbol. I was entertained by The Da Vinci Code much more than Angels & Demons, and I’m sure at some point I’ll get around to reading The Lost Symbol. I’m not a huge fan, though. Here’s a less-than-flattering review of the new book by The New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik.
• Along the same lines, here are Dan Brown’s 20 Worst Sentences. Some of them really are pretty bad.
• I want to make this recipe for Spicy, Citrusy Black Beans. Yum.
• I think this guy’s lawsuit for “1,784 billion, trillion dollars” is completely reasonable.
• Are you planning a party and providing alcohol? Wondering how to figure out how much to buy? Lifehacker, perhaps the most useful website EVAH, has a simple formula.
