This site has been a bit dead for a while. I’ve been distracted, not in the least because I’ve been getting ready to move to a new apartment. Life has been getting in the way, in other words. Silly life. On a related topic, here is a video which gives a concise and compelling explanation of how life may have begun in the first place and caused all these problems.
I’ll thrill to almost any interesting new rendition of the Super Mario Bros. theme, but honestly, everyone else in the world can stop trying. It is impossible to top the coolness of the Tesla coil cover.
This is an ad for a game, but I’m posting it anyway, because sunflowers (and not even the hideously dangerous Larry Niven-style sunflowers) singing about defending a home from zombies is the kind of thing that makes the world a better place, even as a sales pitch. (Special bonus: evil dolphin.)
Ron Artest explains that a basketball game isn’t really getting out of hand until players are getting table legs thrown through their hearts.
Those of you who enjoyed Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno videos which I linked to a while back might be interested in knowing that Green Porno 2 is now being shown. The focus of this second season is the sexual behavior of sea creatures.
Manu Ginobili forcing amorous attention on Ian Mahinmi after they are singled out by the Kiss Cam during a stoppage of play:

“If I were an earthworm….”

Over at the Sundance Channel website, you can watch Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno videos, in which she dresses up in colorful costumes and enthusiastically and accurately demonstrates the sexual behaviors of various invertebrates. Utterly fabulous.
The movement, the shiny clothes, the weird planets in the background… I find this video hypnotic.
(Also: I wish I had invented the name Earl “Snake Hips” Tucker. How great is that?)
Mortified is a long running art project devoted to “comic excavation of the extraordinary things we created as kids.” This most frequently takes the form of recitations of overwrought childhood diary. In this episode of their web video series The Mortified Shoebox Show, though, something different: a cast is brought in to do a dramatic reading of the script Jason Smith wrote and tried to film at age 15, about a teenager who races his Isuzu pickup in the Indy 500. The lead character, Hobart Drizzle, is played by Elijah Wood.
