Epic fail = Epic win

jayparkinsonmd:

Imagine how happy you must feel if you’re an insurance executive watching premiums rise for decades at three times the rate of everything else knowing that in less than a decade your product will only be affordable to the wealthy and, now, the government has mandated that all citizens purchase your product.

Epic win.

Nataly Dawn does a delicate acoustic solo cover of Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields.

Solo in the sense that the two guitar parts and the layered harmonies are all Nataly.

Swoon.



Do you know what we could have done with that 9 trillion dollars? We could have given every one of the unemployed people $60,000/year jobs - half of the group blowing up balloons, and the other half popping them. That would have gotten us out of a recession faster.

I LOVE Fringe (FOX) but am under the impression I am the only one watching.  Any time I’ve mentioned it in public it has been received with blank stares and pulled in chins like, whaaaa?  Especially when I try to explain what it is about.

Anyway … learned on ChicagoNow.com that there’s a PR push today in Chicago and a group of “Observers” trucking around our fair city today (accompanied by police officers as not to repeat the great Cartoon Network bomb scare of 2007 but in a stunt that I would think would be way to risky and potentially scare-inducing to try, fellow television network).

In any case, is it even possible to START watching now? It’s not exactly an episodic open/closed case. Does anyone watch this show?

Heh - clever promo. Won’t work on me, though, for the reason KMH describes: Fringe clearly has a complex mythology and a long-term story arc that limits the enjoyment of jumping into the middle.

I would probably be watching Fringe, since some buzz finally brought it to my radar, if it was possible to get caught up on the story. But Hulu.com is only allowed to host the last 5 episodes. So, since I can’t watch all of the show, I watch none of the show. Smooth move, Fox.

Owl City

onemoretimewithfeeling:

Finally heard the Fireflies song people keep talking about, and frankly I’m not impressed. Not only does the lead singer sound like a Ben Gibbard impersonator, but the rhymes sound like they were penned by an elementary school child.

Heh - a Sirius DJ today cut off the song after about a minute, saying it was turning him gay, and suggested that Adam Young should “let the Postal Service finish what they started; nobody needs you to pick up the torch for them. You. Huge. Nerd.” Then he pointed out that Owl City sells adult footie pajamas on their website.
