Good lord. The FLotUS’s shoulders are awesome. Or whatever.

A fine post 18 meal

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:38:22 -0800

Quite hungry after this morning’s run. The remedy ended up being a somewhat Spanish influenced concoction: TJ’s canned yellowfin tuna (packed in olive oil…excellent tuna), tomato paste, white beans, pepperoncini and garlic finished with olive oil.

Rather delightful on its own, but would also be tasty as a pasta sauce or served over grilled bread, sliced thick.

Wipe that stupid grin off your face, Griffith Observatory. You do realize you’re wearing a dodgeball on your head? And still the shit-eater, huh? All right, I’m cutting you off now. The astronomers disapprove.

Some people think this video goes “too far.” But I will stand by what was always my strategy when I worked on BU Tonight: funny is funny, even if it’s kinda dark. People can analyze all over the Web what The Onion is getting at here, but I would bet that whoever wrote it (was friend Chris involved?) wrote it mainly because it is funny. It’s REALLY funny. I’m not saying comics don’t have political views — they do, of course — but really, 99 percent of the time I’d say they care way more about laughs than they do about making a real statement.

One year later. Not sure how much we can expect in the first 12 months of any presidency, but outside of solid waste management, I’d have to say PotUS is the worst job in the world right now.

Maybe it’s the whole nerdy Japanese thing (picture a chubby man taking a woman back to his place and commenting, Oh, that? That’s a traditional Japanese lute. I’m pretty proficient.), but this clip reminds me a lot of “The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” Overall I liked it—a bit of grime infused into the Marquez model, although the book felt like it could have used a little…more? It seemed like we got a really detailed beat sheet, but not a whole lot of the immediate connective tissue that makes a work resonate (which is an odd thing to say considering 75% of the book is about all the ancestral twists and turns that led to Oscar’s birth). Also, Junot Diaz must use the same 4 LOTR metaphors like 50 times. That got old. Nerd grumble nerd.

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (On Letterman)

As featured on last week’s “Gossip Girl.” This LA band is blowing up and deservedly so. The album is fantastic, and as you can probably see, they are a hoot live.

(via boringloser)

Fun little song by a band that looks like it might have killed Sharon Tate.

But the real reason for the reblog is that I can’t get over how cute the short haired ladysinger is.
