Truly Scary

If you're ready for some good old-fashioned Halloween frights, check out the most recent Cat and Girl. Talk about chilling.

Mmm, Pumpkiny

Sorry for the infrequent posts, but work has been insane. And weekends have hardly been less nuts. However, I just saw this divine recipe and wanted—nay, needed—to share it with you. Commence Homer Simpson–esque drooling.

Sparkly Pumpkins—Why Not?

Hah! I love this blinged-out pumpkin riff on Damien Hirst's pretentious (though compelling in its sparkly excess) bejeweled skull, entitled "For the Love of God." Project!

Incidentally, this Hirst skull–related prank was awesome. I was positive I'd already blogged about it ages ago, but apparently I forgot.

Deborah Kerr, 1921-2007

Oh no...Deborah Kerr died two days ago. She was so good in...well, everything. We should all raise a glass of pink Champagne in her memory.

Technical Issues

In case you couldn't tell, this blog has been MIA for...hm, a bunch of days now. The server went down. But it's back up, so now we return to your regularly scheduled program.

Star Trek: The New (Old) Generation

Okay, I know it's dorky, but I'm still excited about the upcoming Star Trek movie. I was thrilled that they cast the adorable Antonin Yelchin as Chekov (let's hope there are no lines about "nuclear wessels"), and now they've apparently cast John Cho (Harold from Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) and Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) as Sulu and Scotty, respectively.
I can see Simon Pegg being a completely awesome Scotty. 'E's workin' as fast as 'e can, Captain. 'E's only human.

'Cause Nothing Says "Respect"...

...like a tattoo of that word in your crotch. That everyone can see. Because you're naked in a Playboy centerfold. Riiiight. (The link to the full picture is totally NSFW, of course.)

No Swimming Allowed

Today's otterific cuteness is brought to you by I Can Has Cheezburger?. Poor little guy looks royally confused and/or annoyed. I would be too, li'l buddy.

Potions Lesson

You've gotta hand it to Martha Stewart (or M Diddy, her prison moniker, if you prefer)—she may have an irritatingly Connecticut television personality, but the lady can cook. And decorate. In honor of Halloween, I am hereby going to link to Martha's Spooky Halloween Spirits. Now, I personally think that there are so many more options than those provided, but these are a good jumping-off point, and have turned me on to something I never knew existed: black vodka. Time to get me some of that and whip up some new Halloween concoctions. I think it's decent quality, and it just looks beyond nifty.

Stylus Envy

Okay, I already wanted The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. But now that I know I can get an awesome feather stylus? Sign me up now, baby.

Kids Say the Darndest Things

I wonder where this little girl is learning her vocab....

Mad Mousepad

Have been insanely busy. Sore, crampy, headachy, and busy. Was even in the office on Sunday (blech!). Haven't had time to post. And am still busy. But not too busy to show you the most awesome (and by awesome I mean ridiculous) mousepad ever.
