It’s Worth It

I guess I can say that at least one small thing I’ve written over the years has been officially published…
The Houston: It’s Worth It book hit the shelves back in October 2007 and — like the bad procrastinator I’ve been lately — I haven’t even bothered to check it out yet, even though I hear [...]

AVPR

Are you stoked — like TOTALLY stoked — about the awesome new Aliens vs. Predator movie that’s coming out?  Like, oh my freaking God, man, it’s gonna be so freaking awesomely cool, like, I can’t wait to go see it and then, like, go watch WWE Smackdown at Phil’s house afterwards and drink some MGDs [...]

New (and Old) Obsessions

I’ve callously ditched Project Playlist for a far groovier music search engine: Seeqpod.  Not only is it much cleaner and easier to use in general, it also allows you to save and share playlists without creating an account.  So much nicer.
And to demonstrate, here’s a short-but-sweet playlist with a few songs I’ve had on repeat lately:  Dig It.
I’ve [...]

Stalking Much?

I get all kinds of weird Google searches leading to this blog every day.  From the oddly omnipresent “dirndl fuck” to the mundane “lyrics to chelsea hotel number two,” I’ve seen a lot of search terms and I’ve imagined a lot of disappointed people when they reach a blog that has nothing at all to [...]

A Texan Map of the U.S.

I got a kick out of this post over at Strange Maps:

Sometimes it really does feel like El Paso is that far away from the rest of the state.  The same goes for Amarillo and Brownsville.  They might as well be in different states.  Hell, El Paso isn’t even in the same time zone as [...]

Rotten Neighbors

Website of the day:  http://www.rottenneighbor.com
What a lovely, voyeuristic tool this is.  And it makes me feel so much better to know that other people out there have horror stories that easily put mine to shame.  My neighbor’s three tiny, yippy, constantly-barking dogs are nothing compared to skeevy Peeping Toms or the stench of death from [...]

Better Now?

I realize that I have written three very acidic and bitter-sounding posts back to back here.  To prove that I do have a heart — even if it’s shriveled and black the last few days — here’s a highly random sampling of photos that I find both amusing and cute.  Okay, mostly just amusing, but [...]

Thursday Tidbit

These two items from TWoP’s recap of last night’s “Kitchen Nightmares” episode cracked me up this afternoon:
In the kitchen, Brian knocks back a beer and brags about drinking Ramsay under the table. Whatever, Ramsay would be on his eighth glass of whisky and you’d be passed out from his fumes.
and
In the dining room, Ramsay critiques [...]

Totally Rad

I’ve got nothing but mad, mad love for Natalie Portman.  I really should go right now and add her to my “Girl Crush” list.  But that said, this short piece is – in a perfect little nutshell –why I love the hilarious writers at The Superficial:

Natalie Portman attended the world premiere of her new movie Mr. Magorium’s [...]

Rishteebiskits – Updated!

It’s a slow day around the fort, so I’m just going to post two videos that crack me up every time I see them.  Enjoy.
Charlie and Dennis’ Day Man 

Dip It In’t Cup 

Updated because…how could I forget this one?  I love you, Steve Coogan.  Even if you did supposedly lure [...]

What a Fool Believes

I’m obsessed with Project Playlist.  I’m there at least ten times a day, adding a new song to one of my increasingly random playlists every time an old song pops into my head.  Out of boredom yesterday, I started to browse through some of the other playlists that various other junkies Project Playlist users had [...]

Rubber Tree

Continuing today’s trend of short posts with links to some of my favorite sites, I am coveting this:

It’s a lamp that you wind up.  A wind-up lamp.  That works.  And it looks incredibly chic, to boot.  The wind-up lamp can be found in all of its glory here at Geekologie.
Other things which I am currently coveting [...]

Due to a total lack of creativity on my part for the past few days, I’ve decided to post some of my all-time favorite comics from xkcd. Enjoy!

A Shout In The Street

I blame Pancho for this one:

You’re Ulysses! by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don’t make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you’re saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and [...]

Groovy, Baby

I would pay good money to see the Mike Flowers Pops cover every single song ever made. They are made of pure, swinging awesomeness.

Conversations With God, Part II: Wherein God Displays His Pervy Asshole Side

Me: Hello, Lord.
God: Hello there. Do you still ?
Me: No, I leave that to Anheuser-Busch.
God: Are you serious? Do you mind if I tell other people: said leave that to Anheuser Busch.
Me: Yes, I’m serious. Why would I brew beer at home when I can buy it already made? I’m far too lazy for homebrewing.
God: [...]

Conversations With God

It’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one who experiences great yawning periods of workday boredom and turns to the Internet for stimulation. My friends Wes and Jacque turned not only to the Internet today, but also to God:

Hijinx-Related Projects

Possibly the funniest article I’ve read all month: Marvel Comics vs. Science: 5 of the Most Absurd Superhero Origins. Makes me sad to think that there are no Commie villains anymore (well, Putin is just too easy…).
