September 2008 Archives
These boots are so Magnificent Bastard. IMHO. #
The best photos of bento lunches you'll see all month. Yeah I know it's October in only a few hours, but still. #
10 people from your past who will haunt you on facebook. They forgot an important one: your boss. #
Fact checking the first debate. In case you were wondering what's what. #
The adult bright lite. RAINBOWS! #
Tina Fey does Sarah Palin. Again. Vote McCain if only to get 4 more years of this. #
Hi, my name's Margaret. And I'm an Alt-a-holic. It's true, I've filled up almost all my slots too (ooh, that sounds so dirty!). #
Girl Talk made your ex a playlist: "Songs To Send To Your Ex-Girlfriend On CD-R When She Moved Away For Three Months And Is Planning On Moving Back To Continue Dating You But Needs A Little Break Right Now." #
Poor muxtape. And I haven't even had my coffee yet. Today sucks. #
This election is important. Yes, really. Please vote. #
Lists of the day: It's a girl thing and It's a guy thing. I can't believe I'm the only woman to have responded to the man list so far. LOTS of things are man things ... like killing bugs and getting lids of containers (primarily the former). #
Sarah Palin gets interviewed by Katie Couric. Oh jesus, this is extraordinarily painful. Also breaking: Katie Couric is a hard-hitting journalist. WHO KNEW?! #
Letterman on McCain canceling his appearance on the show tonight. You know, as in the show that hasn't aired yet and doesn't air for at least another hour. I bet Dave leaked this himself. #
Just in case you were wondering what a 12 year old McDonald's hamburger looks like. Prepare to be horrified. #
The universal language of how couples communicate. You don't need a translator to figure out what's going on between these two Italians. #
America's debt, explained. In terms of McDonald's apple pies of course. #
Jason Munn: poster party. For Leslie. #
Ok so I know it could be awkward to give panties as a gift, but these in the "I *heart* geeks, I *heart* pink" pattern are too awesome to pass up. #
La coccinelle. I wish you knew how much I loathe watching videos online -- it's way too much of an investment of time (and energy) -- so when I find something like this and post a link it simply HAS to be worth your time too. #
Reverie. Beautiful moving pictures from the forthcoming Canon 5D MKII. I'd consider switching teams for this camera -- it's amazing! #
The presidential candidates go head to head on cars and homes. Hahaha (in the painful way). #
Now THIS is a motherf*g ad. This is probably the first time I can say I truly enjoyed an ad. Wow, I can't believe I just said that. #
Peter Gibson's street art. Can't really hate the guy, he's doing it well. #
Other new releases today: Jenny Lewis, Kings of Leon, and TV on the Radio. And in movies a little something you might have heard of called Sex and the City. #
New Cold War Kids out today: Loyalty to Loyalty. You know I'm all over them. Er, that. #
My porn star friends. I just have lots of designer friends --- they're really good with their pantones. #
Django has the coolest mascot in the history of mascots. It even has its very own website!! #
Smithsonian. Yay! Steve's taking pictures again! #
Vanity Fair Portraits: A century of iconic images. I bought it this weekend and it's the loveliest thing. I aspire to have taken, like, every photo in it. #
Ass-vertising. Say what you will, I think it's brilliant! #
How is your color IQ? I'm too hungover to do this today. #
Remember the 35W bridge collapse 13 months ago? The brand new replacement opened its lanes at 5am this morning. Things were pretty packed this morning, but on the bright side I-94 seemed light for the first time in over a year. #
Carla Bruni sings. Her last 2 albums are my current obsession. Very sexy. #
North Korean citizens and soldiers participate in celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of North Korea. That photo is pretty amazing. #
Did the Internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? "Well, we can certainly count on one thing in all of this mess: John McCain won't understand any of it." #
Inside Obama's emails. "Baby, don't forget to pick up eggs on your way back from the Middle East. Love, Michelle" #
Are you a geek or a nerd? Geek loud and proud baby. #
Real world mute-button. What a cute stocking stuffer! #
New Ting Tings video for 'Be The One.' Looking cute as a button, as usual. #
l33t investment advice of the day. Seconded only, maybe, by this, but only if you're all like wha??!?! #
New Hitchhiker's author announced. Huh. Really? Another Hitchhiker author? Really? #
List of the day: Used to love it, still love it. Hello mixtapes and making out (at the same time!). #
ZOMG, Bin Laden's a Lvl 70 Arcane Fire Mage?!!! That pretty much means your children are guilded with terrorists. Panic in 3 ... 2 ... zzzz ... #
Play with spider. I kinda wish it were a zombie instead of a spider, but whatevs. #
Mark your calendars: Britney's new album, Circus, drops Dec. 2nd. (Her birthday.) The first single 'Womanizer' comes out on the 22nd. #
This little piglet's had tooooo much candy. Everything is cuter in French. #
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. AWESOME. #
John McCain gets grilled on ... The View? Yeeeee-ikes. #
M.I.A. clothing in full effect. Yeesh, dunno should be pulling off this look other than M.I.A. #
Confessions of an MMO boyfriend. Very smart, that one. #
Christian Siriano's 2009 Spring collection. Holla at your boy. #
The 8 worst hair-dos a man can have. About 40 seconds of good ol' fashioned fun. #
When Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasila, the city charged rape victims for the kits used to gather evidence about whether a sexual assault occurred. I'm sure she'll have a very reasonable explanation for this involving lipstick and, um, non-rimmed glasses? Heylookoverthere! #
Flickr's got a new homepage. Just re-arranging some furniture. Give it a peek. #
Whore. Who knew I was running a harem right here in my apartment!?!! #
This is your friendly reminder that the Warhammer Online headstart begins Sunday. Or as I'm fond of calling it: DAOCv2. The game launches for everyone else on Tuesday. #
Picked to click: 2008, in which 105 writers, DJs, club bookers, sound guys, musicians, photographers, and record-store clerks list their top five favorite new local (TC) bands. And don't miss the full ballot list here. #
There's a new Tricky album out today. After making us wait a bajillion years it's about time! This made my week. #
Does True Blood, the new vampire series on HBO, have the best main title sequence on TV? [Probably NSFW.] I don't have HBO but seriously cannot WAIT to get my paws on this series. Can't. Wait. #
Lance Armstrong to compete again? Shocking! Totally didn't see that one coming, not even for a moment. #
Tom Brady's out for the season. Damn, there goes my one delicious reason to watch football. #
A MF*ING BUFFY MMO?!! Oh please for the love of all that's holy don't sh*t all over this brilliant, brilliant idea. #
A girl's guide to dating a geek. As a 'girl' with tendencies toward 'geek' I'm more interested in seeing what the guy's guide to dating a geek looks like. God there's some good comic relief in there. #
Get your free Obama button. 2 million served! #
Beautiful rain photography. True that. #
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog hits up the RNC. #
London. From above. At night. #
Americans laughed, again, as McCain appeared in front of another green screen. Only it wasn't a green screen. Some poor Republican intern is crying in their coffee over a job poorly done this a.m. #
Palin speech fact check. Cleanup in isle 3. #
Kottke reminded me of this classic Triumph video: Triumph vs. Star Wars fans. #
While the Republican leadership races to the Gulf Coast to show their empathy, their delegates are left abandoned in the Xcel Center. F*g genius. #
American photobooth. I'm such a photobooth ho. Which reminds me, stay tuned for this year's State Fair photobooth photos (coming this week!). #
Rage Against the Machine show was stopped in St. Paul last night. But only kinda. After reading the article, check out the vid of it all going down here. #
Sarah Pawlenty for veep! "What, wha? Is this thing on? *tap tap* #
Alinea, the cookbook. Only it's not REALLY a cookbook ... and as a non-cooker I totally want to buy this if only for just that one beautiful reason. #
Help John McCain vet Sarah Palin. Oh dear, I apologize for posting this (but it's funny in that so-wrong yet so-right way). #
Sarah Palin makes the cover of Foreign Affairs Weekly. Sexay. #
John McCain chooses a running mate, according to Jon Stewart. #

The end is not for a while. I'd love to see these protesters show up in St. Paul later this week. #
