VCR Repair and other terrible careers Sally Struthers peddled in the 90s.
It's amazing the nostalgia that random Twitter conversations about Beverly Hills: 90210 has-beens can trigger. Learning that Brenda--or "Bren," as my homeboy Dylan used to always call her--is hawking online university degrees now immediately made me think of all...
Finally, a Game for People Who Want More Cowbell
I mean really, who doesn't want more cowbell? Oh, look, NOBODY. Coming next month to iPhones and iPads everywhere, Cowbell Hero is the mobile gaming time-waster nobody asked for but everyone will play because we've all got a fever...you know the rest. Naturally the...
Three of the Coolest LEGO Creations I’ve Seen Lately
Ordinarily I'm no LEGO Maniac, but between LEGO Lord of the Rings and the news that we'll be getting LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets next year, I've been going crazy for this stuff. Not crazy enough to actually buy any fancy high-end LEGO sets, mind you...
Black Friday “Almost” Impulse Buys
As I was saying in my last post, yesterday I was dragged out into the Black Friday madness by my sister. Shopping definitely qualifies as one of my least favorite activities, let alone shopping on one of the busiest days of the year when there's a real possibility...
Chuck This Out! Ultimate Turtles Fan Book
I didn't really make a deliberate effort to go out shopping on Black Friday, but was dragged out of my cave by my older sister and sometime in the afternoon we wound up at my local Target. I figured while I was there I might as well try to make the most of it, so...
Animated 8-Bit Pixel Art Celebrates the History of Music
So there's this awesome guy named Josh who has this awesome Tumblr, Music History in GIFs, filled with his awesome animated pixel art that celebrates music's most awesome moments in history. I know, I'm using the world "awesome" a lot, but in this case it's...
TMNT: my only reason for watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.
My yearly tradition of getting wasted the night before Thanksgiving means I'm never up early enough to catch the entirety of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and if I do I'm usually too busy in the kitchen to pay it much attention, but it's one of those things I...
Album Art Porn: Greenskeepers – Live Like You Wanna Live
To piggyback off my last post in which I discovered a Chicago-based band--very possibly one of my new favorites--called Greenskeepers, I went digging further into their discography because any band with 80s musical sensibilities that puts out a song inspired by...
It puts the ‘Lotion’ in the basket.
You know what the world needs? More songs inspired by Silence of the Lambs. I am currently rocking out to one called "Lotion" by Greenskeepers, by far and away my greatest musical discovery of the week. A Level 90 Rogue in my boyfriend's WoW guild (Jesus Christ I...
My search for the perfect Christmas gift has ended.
True, it's the perfect Christmas gift to myself, but still... Those cunning bastards at ThinkGeek have done it again. I don't think $40 is too unreasonable for a USB-powered motion-detecting Portal turret gun that looks and sounds just like the ones from the game...
I’m in a good Dubmood today.
I know this is a lame update, but I had a good day. So good, in fact, I've had zero time to even think about coming up with something better to post, so instead you're getting this: one of my favorite chiptunes albums by Dubmood, which is a "Best Of" compilation of...
One horseshoe to rule them all.
Because one does not simply walk into Mare-dor, here's Lord of the Rings re-enacted by ponies: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4hD31VTdsw#! Lately MLP:FiM has become my go-to Saturday morning cartoon to watch before Nick's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at 11....
