The Summer Solstice may be around the corner today, but

I'm truly excited about this potentially seasonal release:

Check out ghostly long exposure shots from photographer Alexey Titarenko:

 

 

 

 

 

Also, take a peek at these Carlos Ramos paintings... He worked on one of my favorite cartoons, Dexter's Laboratory, which was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, who also created Samauri Jack, another of my favorite 'toons.

By no means do I agree with an un-humorous, sincere, and thus worthless reading of Advice From a Person With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology by Jason Roeder... I do agree with the hilarity that is McSweeney's Internet Tendency. A snipet for you:

A month ago (scroll down) I found a mentioning of my man Method Man, and I'd like to follow that up with an equally head-bobbin' rapper of the '90s... Tone Loc will be here in Cincy this Saturday 07 June at 9pm at the Fairfield Tavern, so go check him out!

Believe it or not, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Japanese t.v. Can you see why...

 

*Update* I admit that I plan on watching ABC's newest spew of realty t.v.--I Survived a Japanese Game Show--that premieres Tuesday, 24 June at 9PM, but I plan on watching it with disdain and a bottle of Sake...

Oh, Canada...

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A couple has been arrested in what Canadian police said on Tuesday was an apparent offer to sell a seven-day-old baby girl on Craigslist for C$10,000 ($10,100).

I apologize for my hiatus, but I've been a very busy lady and getting myself to a computer seems to be getting harder and harder... That said, I have a handful of goodies that will make up for my absence. Enjoy, kiddos!

As you may have noticed on our Home Page, soon-to-be-internationally-renowned band Seabird is playing at Mad Hatter's in Covington tomorrow night... Two of my cousins play in Seabird (the Morgan brothers), and they seriously rock!

Come see them with us!

Dear People Behind the "Now That's What I Call Music!" Series,

Thank you, Current, for keeping Method Man at the forefront of our thoughts.

If for one second you think that I'm being sarcastic, remember this...

I just want to point out for the record that, yes, Jim and I have been together for a WHOLE dad-gum year, but it's now been a year and two days because our first date was on Wednesday, 18 April, 2007. I go by day and Jim goes by date. And now on with our regularly scheduled programming...

The news is sad, yet so very, very true... The Cool Corner, as you and I knew it, disintegrated, dissolved, and disappeared this past Saturday as I attempted to post about Adult Swim. Tears were shed, memorials were created, odes were read, and my ego was deflated. Fear not, my Cool Friends! The Corner is back with a vengence, a prayer, and hopefully a 'lil security this time around...


 

From BoingBoing

 

Earlier this week, Blackstone Audio sent me a box containing all three volumes of collected Twilight Zone radio plays, produced in 2004 for CBS radio using Rod Serling's original scripts, with Stacey Keach narrating and hosting. Each volume contains ten episodes, and each episode has a celebrity actor in the lead role, from Lou Diamond Phillips to Ed Begley Jr to Adam West to Kim Fields.

 

 

 


WORSE THINGS

Captured by pirates, you are given a choice between walking the plank or joining the crew. The crew are all Yankees fans.

 

 


 

I thoroughly enjoyed this list from Adult Swim... Lord knows my dad wasn't nearly this bad...

 

 

 


 

 


Hi Jason,

I just turned 30. How do I keep on staying cool without looking like an old guy who's trying to stay cool?

Thanks,

Grant
Indy, IN


You might want to know this much about me: I'm a 35-year-old who, the last time he made a conscious effort to be cool, ended up buying a pair of black slacks at H&M that were just perfect for a wild-and-crazy night of catering. And it has always been thus with me. On the other hand, I've never been a mustachioed hipster wearing a T-shirt with the Yoo-hoo logo on it for some reason, so I'm fortunate for that.

Dear Umlaut,

You think you're so damn cool, huh? Just hanging out, chillin', above all those vowels. You're all, "Ooh, look at me, I'm a chic umlaut. I make girls' names look modish, like Zoë and Chloë, and I rock with strung out '80s metal bands!"

Well, guess what? You're only an umlaut if you're modifying the pronunciation of a singular vowel, like in "Führer" or "über." If you're stressing the second of two consecutive vowels or one that would usually be silent according to common English usage, you're just a plain old boring dieresis. How 'bout that, you naïve jackass? God, you're such a poseur, umlaut. You're nothing but two measly dots. You're a Eurotrash colon lying down. Nobody thinks you're cool.

Sincerely,
Josh Abraham
