It's Friday, Friday


"…and then, crescendo: "Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday, Today it is Friday, Friday … Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterward."

It’s funny, but then not quite funny enough — you keep expecting it to get more extreme, but the punchline never comes. About halfway through, you realize with a sick feeling that it’s not a parody at all." - (How to be an instant Internet superstar — for a fee)

I love the Rebecca Black song, I love the parodies, I love the "Which Seat" meme and I love that naming the days of the week now counts as lyrics. Thank you, Rebecca Black, for distracting me from Charlie Sheen - while you destroyed modern music.

Three Word Phrase


If you want endless delight and also poop jokes, you should really be reading Three Word Phrase. (it also can help you learn, if the things it references were not things you knew about before!)

Petting Zoo


I’m about halfway through 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth. I love this book, I love the Oatmeal, and I love this picture of a bear trying to fool me into petting him.
I’m not fooled by you, Bear.

Simpsons Quotes


Itchy and Scratchy Land, where nothing can possibleye go wrong.
Uh… possib_ly_ go wrong. That’s the first thing… that’s ever gone wrong.

I almost never reblog Simpsons stuff, because there’s just so much of it and I feel like I look at it all - but I had to reblog this one because "possibleye" has affected my everyday lexicon more than any other Simpsons reference (save, perhaps, for SMRT).

Charlie Sheen Dub


I am so into this. The tiger blood, the droopy-eyed children, the bi-winning… all of it. Best Internet in a long time.

Google your Google


I accidentally googled "google images" instead of clicking on "images" from the google landing page. The results yield this image.
Google bot is angry! You have googled incorrectly!

My Kid Could Paint That


Just watched the documentary "My Kid Could Paint That". To me, all the supposed "controversy" is irrelevant. These works (which yes, I believe she painted) are simply stunning. The art, like most things of value, speaks for itself.
(Also, Netflix, I genuinely <3 you. Thanks for shattering my productivity!)

I Should Clarify Something

In regards to my last post:
I love Cee Lo Green and I love the original song. And I love muppets, so much that I actually own a muppet of myself. And I have nothing against Gwyneth Paltrow, except that her name is hard to spell and her newsletter is silly.
But that performance, which mashes Cee Lo in crazy body armour (with feathers!) while muppets sing backup and Gwynnie (admirably) prances around in, like, four foot high heels, is unjustifiably insane. Why did these things get mashed together? Whose idea was it? I’m still not even sure why there’s a censored version of that song. (Remember, "Forget You" actually was released as a radio edit before the whole Glee thing blew up. I don’t really know why. It was massively popular the first day it was released. I listened to it like 40 times in a row. I think we could’ve lived with only hearing it on YouTube or satellite radio or something.)
When you take all these things which I really like (/don’t really mind or care about), and mash them together, you get some crazy-ass performance that I don’t really understand.
Also in the interest of full disclosure, I did not watch the Grammys. That may very well have been the highlight of the show.
