Sorry about the break

2012-01-14T23:53:00.000-05:00

We'll be back shortly.

Thanks!

Until this clock hits midnight, it's still Thanksgiving weekend here, so feel free to help yourself to another slice of pie and some mashed potatoes (just use them as whipped cream!). If you're not still gorging yourself, I assume you are one of the unlucky ones, like me, who was not offered to take home any leftovers when visiting relatives (bitches...). So, whether you're making yourself a

Contest?

2011-11-14T01:52:00.002-05:00

I'm thinking that if I reach 400 hits on my blog this month, I will have a contest. You'll win cool stuff! Thoughts?

Giving thanks....to booze

2011-11-09T21:02:00.004-05:00

I love the holidays; the whole dang thing. The decorations, the forgetting Thanksgiving and pile driving straight into Christmas, the songs, the food, more of the food, the desserts (yes that's food), wrapping presents, giving presents, the smell of Christmas trees, everything.Except for family.I have never really been good with hanging out with any member of my family for very long. Too much

If you've never checked out my now defunct other blog, then you may not know I'm a knitter. Well, and crocheter. Let's just say I am a master of the needlecrafts. Anyway, because of this, there are random times (when I'm sober) that I want to use these skills for good. This is one of those times.I am knitting for Occupy Wall Street.Why Occupy, you ask? Well, if you're like me, you're pissed

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - shake shake shake...

2011-10-18T23:29:00.004-04:00

Why does every single character in the new Deus Ex game seem to take after this dog:Seriously, in this day and age, why do all the characters look like their skins were stretched over the same, bulky frame, and why are they all shaking? Is there something wrong with the Detroit water? Does it make people suffer from Bell's Palsy? And side note: Who opened up a box of copy paper and threw it

Halloween Prep: Lovecraftian Sex-Ed

2011-10-03T00:41:00.005-04:00

I'm sure we all remember the eldritch horror that was Sexual Education, but if not, here is a little reminder. Dear Dagon, how on Earth did anyone want to get it on after seeing those diagrams?

Amanda Waller got Star Jones'ed

2011-09-16T00:21:00.003-04:00

The internet is abuzz today about the liposuction of Amanda Waller. If you're not aware of one of the most bad-ass characters of the DC Universe ever, just look at this Justice League clip:Dude, even though she had to stand down, she scared the shit out of Batman. Who scares Batman?! Nobody, unless they're Amanda Waller. Because Amanda Waller is just this short, fat, black woman with a no

More Halloween Prep: Häxan

2011-09-12T17:51:00.002-04:00

Häxan: Witchcraft Through the AgesSome more old time goodness for Halloween! This is Häxan, a 1920's Swedish documentary about witchcraft. I'm not going to tell you anymore because it's awesome and you just need to watch it. Also, it would be helpful to have a good cocktail to go along with it. Maybe try a Herbert West?

Holy Moly Muppets

2011-09-07T22:04:00.003-04:00

OK, look at these. Seriously, look. They are not only amazing, but they are also MUPPETS. I don't know about you, but I grew up on reruns of The Muppet Show, and I have a deep deep love for anything Muppets. These covers are part of that love.

Halloween Prep

2011-08-29T16:55:00.002-04:00

My favorite holiday has always been Halloween; spooky, dark and creepy. August is closing, and the Autumn weather is hopefully coming along the track, so what better way to get ready for Halloween than with a bunch of stuff from youtube? First up: A Disney version of hell. Yes, that's fire they're milking out of that demon cow. Up next is a medley of 1920's music about haunted houses, ghosts,

2011-08-14T20:04:00.003-04:00

Sometimes, I find things that I want so badly, it hurts not to have it. The item pictured below is one of those items. Look at that bad boy! It's a Mario pipe mug that you can drink your coffee from! I dare you to tell me how that is not awesome. What's even better is it's not just another cheap plastic mug that you're just going to toss your pencils in, it's actually ceramic. You can beat

Ha! Good one, Wikipedia

2011-08-12T14:34:00.003-04:00

Maybe Wikipedia is in on the joke, but maybe not. I mean, come on now, it's Beak asking you for money.

This....I'm OK with.

2011-08-08T21:58:00.005-04:00

OK. I am cool with Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I mean, if I wanted to be super cranky, I would say that she needs to have a kitty cat cowl and a short haircut, but I'm OK with this. I mean, come on, Hathaway has the chops to do this. She was the druggie model in that Rachel Getting Married movie AND she dated that scumbag who pretended to be down with the Vatican. You know she's got some

This is what Bane looks like

2011-08-01T15:56:00.008-04:00

Yup, that's what Bane looks like. Well, at least in the new Batman movie. OK, it's not so bad, but personally, I like the luchador mask and I'm sad to see it go. And, well, I don't know why Bane needs a jacket; maybe the costume designer never saw a sketch of Bane and totally thought the guy could fit his arms into a jacket (Spoiler: he totally can't).In fact, I kind of wonder how they picked

Daredevil #1 - Holy Moly, it's fun!

2011-07-28T17:59:00.005-04:00

I'm not a Daredevil reader. Mostly because I don't wan to read about some blind dude moping around. If I wanted to hear about a bunch of complaining from a handicapped person, I'd hangout with my paralyzed from polio uncle when the beer runs out at parties. Seriously, we were having a family reunion once, and I hit a soft ball so perfectly that it broke his beer mug, I thought that dude was

So...DC Reboot, eh?

2011-07-17T21:20:00.004-04:00

Well, well, well. DC is going to have a reboot, eh?OK, fine, I'm game; comics which rely on the same characters through out the years need a revision. You can't keep telling a chronological story of Batman if he should be about 90-years-old by now. Seriously, you guys, that's how old Batman should be. This is why reboots happen; old man Batman would break a hip when giving a hoodlum a

BBC will be off for the month, getting married then living it up on the honeymoon.I'll be back in the beginning of July, ready for action.

What...what is this?

2011-06-02T12:04:00.002-04:00

Pink things work for me; if electronics are available in pink, I'm always going to pick that color. That being said...holy crap, this commerical! The second the doll's head spun around I shrank back into my chair in wide-eyed fear. Do they think that this is hip? Or artistic? Or....what are they thinking here? Was it all just a bad trip of Pop Rocks and Mountain Dew?Nokia N8 Pink - Freedom from

Zombies are people (but mostly just rotten flesh), too.

2011-05-18T09:56:00.007-04:00

Since it's Zombie Awareness Month, I thought I'd crack open some zombie reading for a change. First up is Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. As noted by the author, this novel relies on Mary Roach's amazing and hilarious book Stiff. Several passages about human decay feel like they were lifted straight from her book. While in some books the addition of facts aid in the storyline, and become part of

3 2 1 takeoff to Squidville!

2011-05-16T13:53:00.005-04:00

I'm going into space (and then dying, but let's not talk about that part)!!!Maybe it's just because I'm reading Kraken right now, but this story is really interesting. Baby squids that look like Super Mario Bloopers are joining the Endeavour team up in space to test how microbes react to microgravity (the Bobtail squid isn't a microbe, but it has BFF bacteria that it has a symbiotic relationship

My Finest Photoshopping EVER

2011-05-02T21:29:00.006-04:00

By now, you've seen Princess Beatrice's crazy ass hat (which probably cost more than my rent). But have you seen the REAL reason she's wearing it?!Girl just wanted to keep her Companion Cube with her! You know how important it is to have your Companion Cube with you all the time. The Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the

Portal-adorable

2011-04-30T22:43:00.002-04:00

I have yet to buy Portal 2, but I am a huge fan of the first game. For a while after playing it, I would think of all the ways a portal gun would make my life easier (instantly having access to the fridge from anywhere in the house, for example)...Via The Mary Sue

Dudes! That adorable girl who decided to join up Dark Side is back! And she's got a website! Honestly, I don't care that her family is trying to bank on her new found internet fame, I am just so happy that there is an 8-year-old girl who is out loud and proud about her geekhood, and offering a place for other girls to join in the discussion. And...yeah, I'm a bit of a teeshirt hoarder, so
