When you tried to kiss me / I only bit your tongue. / When you tried to get me together / I only came undone.

DARIA!

DAAAAAAAARIA!
DAAAAAAAARIA!


And I thought yesterday's news was exciting.

I never thought this would happen.
I bought the movie DVDs, which have episodes missing the music.
I bought a bootleg of the entire series with many episodes lookin' poor and one that didn't work all the way through.

The music may be hacked up, but it doesn't matter to me.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -huuuuuuuuuh- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -huuuuuuuuh- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

FARSCAPE IS COMING BACK TO DVD! IN A SERIES SET!


I own the first two episodes twice in my youthful, and vain, attempts to purchase the series the first and second time it was released. Here's to hoping that third time will really be a charm.

If they're gonna play with dolls...

Maybe instead of Barbie or Bratz, your little one can play with these:

It's a better role model (IMO). Too bad they are about a thousand smackers instead of ten. Geez, ever heard of manufacturing?

Infinite Eye Candy: Part I



There are a few sites, mostly tumblr blogs, where I can go to look at a stream of eye candy that doesn't seem to end. On these sites the images will keep coming. It could be breathtaking photography, pop-cultural finds, or excellent graphic design. In most cases, the blogger had no hand in the creation, and there may be a lot of cross-posting.

Here is the first one for you: http://are2.tumblr.com/
This one seems to specialize in both artistic remixes of nerd culture, and retro commercial photography.

STOP! Hammertime!

I'm crushing on this video. Mostly, I love that there are people who do this kind of thing.

RIP Michael Jackson

He died in LA after going into cardiac arrest.

Who will inherit all of the Beatles songs?

Transformers 2

Ebert's first paragraph:
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination.

From the New York Times:
There’s a serious disconnect in the movie between the image of power that those GM brands are meant to convey and the bankrupt car industry they now signify. That disconnect only deepens with the introduction of two new Autobot characters, the illiterate, bickering twins Skids (Tom Kenny) and Mudflap (Reno Wilson), both of which take the shape of Chevrolet concept cars. The characters have been given conspicuously cartoonish, so-called black voices that indicate that minstrelsy remains as much in fashion in Hollywood as when, well, Jar Jar Binks was set loose by George Lucas. For what it’s worth, the script, by Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, also includes a crack about Simmons, who’s coded as Jewish, and his “pubic-fro head.”

Glad I decided to stick with cartoon versions of the 'Bots after seeing the first one.
