Yo Gabba Gabba, Great Job!

I recently came across a children’s television phenomenon called Yo Gabba Gabba! Parents in the audience are surely already way onto this scene… but it’s basically a dance/fun troupe lead by DJ Lance, who might have in fact been a member of Deee-lite at some point. He dj’s for a rag-tag team of fun-loving monsters, […]

At the risk of saying this, I’m saying this

Listen. I’ve heard these songs at more gay bars than you will ever shake a very-gay stick at. I’ve rolled my eyes at Splash!… at Barracuda!!… at Gym Bar!!! I fucking challenge you to be more rolly-eyed. But then something happened and I know exactly when it was: I saw the video for Lady Gaga’s […]

Underserved category post: This is what we get.

Veckatimest. Yes, I’ve been listening to this album lately and it struck me about all the possibilities for science. Specifically, how we had already here identified a place to sometimes sing the praises… without a wink. This record has been talked about all over so I won’t dawdle with the description, but it somehow seems […]

Congrats, ladies! 2009 is for US!

Or… it’s the year for picnics. Or we’re going to be made into a picnic. I’m terribly confused, which means it must still be 2008. Wait, what’s that say? Let’s look closer, shall we? Thanks, Korea. Also, Happy New Year, science-ologists!

Sometimes it seems like all the great ideas have already been had.

Perhaps in this busy election season, the portion of our mindshare devoted to Halloween planning is on the slim to none side.  But this little piece of inspiration will hopefully reset some priorities, somewhere. I give you: Hall and Oates.

Yep, they totally wear glasses down there.

This just in from Buenos Aires: They do almost everything better there, including health-focused pet-accessorization. We also saw a rottweiler wearing sunglasses. Believe it.

For those attempting to rock, we salute you

I’m not totally sure that it’s acceptable to blog about children and cuteness inside of this bloghosphere/safespace, but the existence of this document was too Totally Awesome to pass up.  Last year for Christmas, Tracks and I decided to be instigators and buy Sully (age 6) a bona fide, legit, kid-size drum kit–snare, kick drum, cymbals, the […]

Ok, seriously. Thanks, Universe. For real.

So, was a total mope this morning on my way to work–mad at the guy taking up two seats on the train, pissed at how my perm was frizzin’ in the mist, worried about my lack of planning for retirement–when all of a sudden, this tote bag joined me on the elevator on my way up to […]

Seasonal art brought to you by a Frenchy Face.

In a meeting today, in the middle of a indecipherable rant from Our Frenchy Face, I looked down at the napkin in front of her and noticed that she had skillfully (compulsively?) transformed a simple piece of Halloween Candy into a compelling piece of somewhat unsettling art. Three pieces of evidence below, including pointy-eared profile. Coin […]
