Lord of the Rings meets World of Warcraft

2007-11-21T06:07:22Z

Yes, I’m a huge nerd and also a World of Warcraft addict. And if you’ve never played the game (or any MMO, for that matter) you won’t get the jokes in the animated image above. N00b. My favorite part has to be that they suspect Boromir of being ...

Flashback Friday: Sonic Youth

2007-11-17T03:47:06Z

I’ve been quite the shutter bug since I finally got around to buying myself a digital camera again after I lost the last one in California. I try to find any opportunity to take photos now just to fulfill the secret desire to be a decent photogra...

Today’s Flashback Friday comes courtesy of my friends and former roommates, who managed to pull this gem of a track out of my memory. The song is Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen), by Baz Luhrmann off of the Everything For Everybody album, ...

I’ve mentioned before of my love for ICanHasCheezburger and LOLCats, but this mornings post has given me a serious case of the giggles and I cannot stop laughing. Seriously. So dumb.

Flashback Friday: Presidents of the United States of America

2007-10-19T23:33:48Z

I thought i’d take a turn from the jaded slacker music of the 90’s to something a little more upbeat, if not completely ridiculous. Today’s Flashback Friday is none other than the three-member Presidents of the United States of America doing t...
