I [heart] The Internets Roundup: 6.6.08 - 6.12.08
Kind of paltry this week; I've been distracted. Real life!
Dooce guest blogger Sarah Brown relates the 'three best bits of relationship advice ever given, I immediately subscribe to her blog.
I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THIS JEWELRY.
Modified Hitler. What do we think?
Oh, nature. You so crazy. Ahhdfjkhgfdjkgdf.
And lastly, to brighten your day, this old Czech cartoon - "The Mole & The Music" (via Drawn!). One time all my dreams were about moles for an entire week. True story.

Wooo-ey!
Sweet urban clothing + well loved Nintendo characters. I wish I had thought of it first, really. Christmas presents for all my boys!
I know my previous post was a link to him, but start reading Michael Ian Black's blog already. He's kind of my favorite, ever.
RE: becoming a better person, altruism, resolutions, and all that other shit I've been talking about all the time lately.
Gobama! by Ben Brown. Oh, pixels.
I started a wordie account, which is pretty and fun.
I've always had a fondness for the more esoteric aspects of traditional animation.
NEW. TILLY. VIDEO.
Right on the heels of Jim Davis saying he finds Garfield Minus Garfield fascinating, this new one might be my favorite yet. I laughed out loud at four in the morning.
Hey look, it's the most horrifying terrible movie trailer of all time, ever!
Mary Gairskill reading Nabakov... Mmmmhmm!
ICE on MARS, y'all.
This is getting linked all over the place (congratulations!), but John's post about gender rules and the disadvantages of being a man prompted me to stay up wayyyyyy too late last night reading and thinking about the topic. There's a lot of talk in the comments field about the MetaFilter deletion, but the issue at the heart of the post is going to be runnin' around in my brain for awhile.
My recently discovered third favorite music video of all time is this Phosphorescent video (this is number one, in case you're new to me and I haven't forced it down your throat already, and this is number two. Yes, I like sad music. Nice to meet you, I'm Summer.) :

Hi hi hi!
I am completely addicted to playing DinoRun. Thanks, Ben. I think. I just like games that only involve running around at full speed. See Katamari Damacy and Grand Theft Auto 4.
Speaking of games, who's excited about Spore? Me. You will be too, if you aren't already. We're all going to disappear the day this game is released.
Okkervil River reveals full details of the next album, courtesy Pitchfork. With new artwork by the lovely and talented William Schaff.
Skittles Vodka. Neat.
Sarah sent me this article about a frog that breaks it own bones to produce claws. It also has sideburns. Color me horrified and disgusted. I spent about half an hour in the BookPeople cafe yesterday showing this article to pretty much everyone that walked by and trying to reach a consensus that this thing rivals the Aye Aye and those creepy frogs that lay eggs inside their own backs in 'nightmare' factor. Yikes.
Cute Overload featured the most heartbreaking and, well, cute Warner Brothers cartoon EVER. I watched this a few weeks ago and it almost made me cry, you should watch it right now if you haven't seen it. Oh, Chuck Jones.
I like these prints by Frank Chimero very very much.
Buy me this watch, thanks.
BAGEL PARTY: My favorite Kochalka in a long time, yo.
And my favorite Softer World comic in a long time, too.
Jac blogged about my manifesto posts. :)
Totes killer Daytrotter session with The Mountain Goats. Mmm daytrotter.
Cool video for Noah and the Whale, courtesy It's Nice That. Those Noah and the Whale boys are the most adorbs, no?
Download and listen (click on the first track) to this awesome mix of foreign language covers of pop oldies. Brilliant!
This kid who got a dinosaur comics tattoo is totally my hero. My hero.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ('thanks' to Jeff Freeman, the brilliant mind behind my Re-Entry and a pretty good zombie)
Lastly, how much do we love this little guy?
Answer: lots. Lots and lots.

I [heart] The Internets: Weekly Roundup
Brad's miniseries - China, Illinois - debuted on Adult Swim last night! It's now up in it's entirety at the link. If you don't 'get it', we're probably not friends. Not safe for work. Not one bit! I went and read a bunch of reactions on the adultswim forums because I was curious. That was a mistake. People aren't very smart sometimes.
On a thread titled 'brad neely':
Person A: why does that name sound familiar?
Person B: wizards
Person A: o yeah that babycakes guy.
I love it when people ask things like why the name Brad Neely sounds familiar while they're ON. THE. INTERNET. Let's make wikipedia bookmarks the law!
This is a few weeks old, but MAN I LOVE SHOWALTER!
Best Song to Do "The Rock Lobster" To: "Rock Lobster" by The B-52's
Second Best Song to Do "The Rock Lobster" To: N/A
I want this t-shirt, thx.
Also a few weeks old (sue me, I've been in a myspace haze), but worth reading, is my friend Cindy Hotpoint's blog entry on seeing Shearwater in NYC. I got chills a couple times while reading it.
I like Jax's post about how it's okay to vote for Obama because he's foxy. Just kidding, that's not what it's about. Or, well... Just go read it!
Have you looked at The Ones We Love?? It's a really beautiful photography project where several dozen young photographers were asked to shoot their loved one(s) in an outdoor setting. Just click on photographers and start randomly looking around. It will remind you of all the faces you keep in your pocket and what they look like in the sunshine.
I'm kind of obsessed with Jena Malone and how weird/awesome she is.
I posted this new mix for Rissa on artofthemix, which is an old old old school website for posting mix CDs. The mix owes a lot to the mix project people, especially Andy and Craig, and also to Said The Gramophone. Art of the mix is one of my favorite websites. It's been around for-ever and hasn't changed much at all. I know everyone is gaga over Muxtape, but AOTM will always be my sentimental favorite mix-related site. I recently re-discovered my old username on the site -- which I don't remember the password for, because it was That long ago. I posted mixes NINE YEARS AGO on this site. NINE YEARS AGO (for Joshua). Don't judge me, I was sixteen years old! That makes me feel craaaaaazy!
'Okkervil River' on Cooking with Rockstars, if you haven't. I'm totally gonna make that chocolate caramel tart Will Sheff has up. It sounds ridiculous! I've already used Zach Thomas's grandmother's buttermilk pie recipe from this weird book. It was excellent. Cooking recipes from your favorite bands is kind of the ultimate step in fandom weirdness, yes?
Craig Thompson's abandoned work. I would say it makes me feel better to know that Thompson starts things he never finishes too, except that nothing I've ever started OR finished is half as wonderful as that little rejected chicken. Sigh.
Last but not least, PICTURES FROM MARS!
