You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, it's Monday all right, tommyrot. Somewhat more Monday-esque than usual, in fact.

I'm going to be giving Monday the evil eye.

Once my eyes are fully open, that is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is it me, or is Victoria Beckham even more freakishly thin than usual?

And I love that purple is the "new neutral."

From the "Not Quite Ready to Do Actual Work" dept: this is a very beautiful animated video, for a great Andrew Bird song: [link]

About the animator:

Lisa Barcy is an award winning animator, and maker of puppets and other three-dimensional oddities. She has made puppets for various theater companies and contributed animation to multi-media performances by the dance company, The Seldoms. Her work for Redmoon Theater has been seen at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and the Viaduct Theater. In spring of 2005 her puppets were seen traipsing across the stage and stabbing each other in the critically acclaimed Redmoon production of The Cabinet, based on the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. She is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Department of Film, Video and New Media. Lisa also teaches animation at Columbia College in Chicago.

The video is a touching, bitter-sweet romance between a man and a squid.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If that scenario comes true, I'm moving my folks up to live with our relatives in the new Province of Missouri and relocating myself to our Evanston office.

I don't think the Texas Republic would be any more open to Mexican influence than the current US as a whole is. And it'd have a lot more guns per capita.

Flea, does watching Maraka help with the Dora hate?
