Eoin Colfer to write sixth Hitchhiker's Guide book. Oh man. I have a long time love affair with Hitchhiker's, and I like Eoin Colfer a whole lot, but I think I'm going to take io9's stance on this one and ignore it as much as possible.

I like the thread catch pouch that Grumperina has. I still just toss threads to the floor and vacuum up (almost) every night.

This is my very stuck zipper. I'm not sure how I managed to get this garment zipped up in the first place but now I cannot unzip it. Does anybody have tips on working free a zipper that is this crooked?

update: Thanks to everybody for the recommendations! I started with pencil lead and that did the trick nicely. After only a few back and forths I freed the zipper and didn't have any damaged teeth. Yay!

Ok, now that Hydrox cookies are apparently back on the shelves for a while I'd like to try some. Has anybody in Seattle actually found these in a store? I take a look when I'm out grocery shopping but so far I haven't come across them.

update: Well that was easy. Thanks to tips from Mouse and Regan in the comments I found these at a Safeway (my local Bad Times store which I usually avoid). They were not in the cookie aisle, they were not in the cookie aisle endcap, nope, these were in a single display hanging out by the flavored milks. So far I like them, but of course I was raised on Oreos.
