Olympic portraits:
part 1 and
part 2.
2012.05.31George Lucas is retiring. As a friend said (not me, I promise!): "I hope he saws off his hands." That's NOT FUNNY! But seriously, I can't stop laughing at the thought of Robot Chicken parody'ing that.

Preston Pugmire. Um, these portraits are kind of AMAZING! Very inspiring.

Interview with a professional safe-cracker. Part of an
ongoing series at McSweeney's. "Q: Do you ever look inside? A: I NEVER look. It's none of my business. Involving yourself in people's private affairs can lead to being subpoenaed in a lawsuit or criminal trial. Besides, I'd prefer not knowing about a client's drug stash, personal porn, or belly button lint collection. When I'm done I gather my tools and walk to the truck to write my invoice. Sometimes I'm out of the room before they open it. I don't want to be nearby if there is a booby trap."

Mark Bittman has some good advice for you when thinking about dessert:
think like a 7-year old. You know what would make this page perfect? If it were interactive! MOAR SPRINKLES!
2012.05.30Kanye-Z's video for 'No Church in the Wild'. Maybe my fave song off that album. Good stuff.

Kittens in kitchens! Clearly I need a new kitten!

The SLR camera simulator. If that thing on the screen was instead a puppy with floppy ears and a itty bitty wittle puppy face this would go viral.
2012.05.29
Halo finally gets its day. Pwn. I secretly hope this was a parting intern's goodbye gift to the world.
2012.05.29
Normally I wouldn't waste your time on an American Idol link,
but this song by season winner Phillip Phillips reminds me of Mumford & Sons. Don't hate me!
2012.05.26Kylie Minogue has a new single and it's fun as hell. Am I too old to hit the dance clubs again?
2012.05.26
The marriage proposal sweeping the internet. Shit, there's something in my eye!

Are you mom enough? Once again, the Internet pulls through in all its gloriousness.
2012.05.21
An interview with Dita von Teese. "In my opinion, elegance has nothing to do with "how much" is shown and far more to do with the way one presents herself. I've seen beautiful, highly erotic nearly pornographic shows that are more elegant than some burlesque acts. You can't equate the degree of nudity or suggestion, it's all about the overall way it's done."

Salted caramel buttercream chocolate cake. Who do I know with a birthday coming up so I can make this?
2012.05.18
Genetic portraits. Duuuuude. DNA is weird.

2012.05.18
Yo, should I dump this asshole? Better than you'd expect.
2012.05.17
Verizon Wireless ends unlimited data plans for grandfathered users. Ohrly. My one reason to stay on Verizon just vanished. Looks like I'm provider shopping!
2012.05.17
How Yahoo killed Flickr and lost the internet. Sadface. It's sort of sad to think that even two years from now kids are gonna be all, "What the crap is a flickr?"
2012.05.15
Brussels express. A short documentary about bike messengers in Brussels.
2012.05.15
A couple recipes for you this Sunday morning:
grilled peach salad,
grilled baby potatoes with mint + arugula,
blackberry walnut oat rolls (with coconut frosting!?!),
creamy dill dressing (terribly easy and good for so many things I've lost count), and last but not least
a strawberry tart.
2012.05.13The Avengers found Facebook. Ca$h money, bitche$.

Gay rights in the US, state by state. That there is a beautiful graphic.
2012.05.10
Time to replace your light switches. What could be more fun than a panic button lightswitch? Except maybe
bubble-wrap lightswitches!!!
2012.05.10
The rumors are true: Britney Spears is joining X Factor as a judge. I wouldn't watch this show in a million years...unless Brit Brit was on it. Don't judge me.
2012.05.10
Mom puts breast in pre-schooler's mouth on cover of TIME. Jesus, is this Game of Thrones or something?!

What is a hipster? Go on, you try to define it!

2012.05.09Michele Bachmann's bringing the crazy to Europe. Why should we be hogging all the fun?
2012.05.09
The Hood Internet Mixtape, Vol. 6. Don't want to spoil anything, but you'll hear a little "thong-tha-thon-thon-thong" and "come on ride the train."
2012.05.09
So I got this new body lotion the other day and my skin hasn't been this soft since I was 0. It's kind of amazing.
2012.05.09
Things I'm afraid to tell you. This has been sweeping the internet. I'm thinking of participating before it loses popularity...
2012.05.06
The tanning mom gets the SNL treatment. I sorta hope Kristen Wiig never leaves that show.

2012.05.04
"Have you ever lived alone?" As someone who has lived alone for *cough* more than a decade, some of these comments are blowing my mind. How could you be afraid of living alone? It's kind of THE BEST.
2012.05.03
Things that seem normal when you live alone. Oh dear god, I am red in the face from trying not to completely lose my shit in a gigglefest at my work desk. Embarrassed to admit how many of these things I do.
2012.05.03
Best stock art I've seen in a while "Talk about your Death Fuck'n Metal, this sweet middle school notebook style piece is perfect for whatever, and whatnot too."
2012.05.03
Stuff I'm listening to (god, and I can't believe I'm going to even admit this but look at all my honesty and sharing and stuff):
Lana del Rey, Born to Die. Let's not speak of this again.
2012.05.03"We've been hearing a lot about the war on women, which is real enough. But there's also a war on the young, which is just as real even if it's better disguised. College graduates, then, are taking it on the chin thanks to the weak economy. And research tells us that the price isn't temporary: students who graduate into a bad economy never recover the lost ground. Instead, their earnings are depressed for life."
