Just generally thankful. Yep.
This is absolute bull. I was thankful a whole frickin’ month and a half ago, and nobody noticed. Where the HELL is my attribution?
Get me my lawyer, eh? I’m filing a CRTC complaint. No doubt aboot it.
Igloos.

“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” - Neil Young originally by Will Smith (posted by sometimesagreatnotion)
This might just be the best cover I have ever posted. Neil Young played this last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and the universe was complete.
Probably the best thing Jimmy Fallon’s done.
Probably the best thing Neil Young’s done. (If he had done...

They’ll Need a Crane - They Might Be Giants (on Vimeo)
“Who were the old guys in your “They’ll Need A Crane” video?” “They are professional old guys. The drummer worked for Frank Sinatra in the 50s. The bass player has retired from music and currently writes crosswords for the Daily News, and the keyboard guy is an actor.”

Twilight: New Moon is playing on one in five theatre screens in Canada this weekend.
I’m told this in a press release; it also says that “WE ARE PUTTING OUT A CALL TO ACTION TO ALL Twi-Hards, Twerds, Twi-Moms, Twi- Dads, movie-goers of all ages … Don’t let someone else ruin the ending for you!”
I hope at least one person I know is a Twi-hard.
Soylent Red is vampires.
“Likes in, sir.” “Likes out, sir.”
Your likes: shown or hidden, and why?

pubs before clubs #shitmysonsays
– My mom, on the Twitter.
Fun fact: she was on Facebook before me. (True facts.) And now she’s embarrassing me using even more social media.
(But seriously. She’s great. I don’t call her enough, and it brings great shame to the family. Love you, mom, for reals.)
The Prisoner: “The Chimes of Big Ben”
“Big Ben” is one of my favourite Prisoner episodes, and for good reason: it contains all the elements of the series I love. You’ve got Six being sassy as heck, Two trying to “befriend” Six while plotting his downfall, and a classic contrived plot to escape the Village that comes so close to working — for both Six and...

A sexy graph-filled dive into the Choose Your Own Adventure series (and its derivatives), via Gruber.
I will note, for the record, that I did find Ultima when I read/played Inside UFO 54-40. (I also spent several hours plotting out a graph of the book trying to find which page led there. Figuring out how things work: my childhood in a nutshell.)
This is how my co-workers fess up to stealing... →

The Prisoner (1960s) on AMC →
In promotion of their upcoming miniseries based on the 1960s classic The Prisoner, AMC has the entirety of the original series up for viewing on their website. The best part? You can even watch it in Canada, without having to jump over any fences or firewalls.
Give it a watch. It’s like Lost, but with only one character to keep track of and no flashbacks, and only one major unsolved mystery...
