According [...]

I’d like to welcome semi-new advertiser web comic Buttersafe and thank creators Raynato Castro and Alex Culang for the giggles. I particularly enjoyed the Buttersafe take on spring cleaning. I’ve been TiVoing Clean House lately in the hopes that this will teach me to be able to de-clutter. The Clean House show has a lot [...]

The True Blood peeps sent us over some hot True Blood season 3 pictures and a really funny video to share with you all. The video will have to wait because it is a bit of a pain to size, but you can take in the photographic poster hotness now. This season’s slogan is “Do [...]

Another interesting person I met at my pals’ Andy Warhol-themed salon this Monday is Tanja Laden. Tanja Laden is mostly an insightful writer and editor. Tanja Laden has been published all over the place and is currently Deputy Editor at happenings-oriented website Flavorpill Los Angeles. She also apparently takes the occasional picture and I heartily [...]

Her book High Glitz has just been published by Powerhouse. According to the Powerhouse site, glitz is a subgenre of kiddie beauty pageant [...]

This weekend is the 2010 Coney Island Mermaid Parade. I love theme events and I’d definitely be wearing a mermaid costume, if I were in New York right now. Coney Island is actually the first amusement park sort of place I ever went to. I ate just a little bit of hot dog. Probably from [...]

kaRIN and Statik from Collide are very excited their song “Slither Thing” will be used in this week’s upcoming episode of True Blood, the second episode of the new season. I believe KCRW radio DJ Gary Calamar is still the music supervisor for True Blood and these sorts of music choices are just one of [...]

Anyone who knows me understands that I’m still a huge fan of weird candies. Swedish Fish are one of my all time favorite foods. I love a good energy drink too. I actually look forward to long road trips because they are a great excuse to buy an assorted bag full of obscure sweetened speed [...]

Forrest Black and I shot Prince Poppycock a while back. Our friend Sabrina hipped us to his excellent existence and Xian booked him for stuff. Apparently he is on America’s Got Talent and is all the buzz right now. The universe conforms more to my personal aesthetic every day. My will is law.

It might have been noted before that I like a good LEGO Darth Vader or R2-D2 astromech droid, but never let it be said that I can’t appreciate present day LEGO architecture. Especially functional LEGO architecture. Jack Streat has put a decade’s worth of LEGO collecting to good use. He builds LEGO block-firing guns. His [...]
