Not to mention that this is said to be good unlike Avatar, and it's said to have Alfonso Cuaron directing it instead of James Cameron, also unlike Avatar.  Which are two more reasons to be excited for Gravity.

I had a pair of Corona swimming trunks in like the eighth grade, and wore them as unselfconsciously as possible to public pools/beaches all the time for several years.  I'm not entirely sure why my parents were OK with this as it's not like they drink all the time and as I don't think I've ever seen either of them…

There's a show called Keeping up with the DeGrasse Tysons?  Because if not, that might actually be a pretty good show.

I saw the opening credits to The History Channel's God, Guns and Automobiles the other day.  It was like an America Fuck Yeah-esque parody, except the people on the show appear to actually be like that.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Congrats!

Does anyone here have any general advice for someone planning to supplement running/biking with some occasional weightlifting to remedy my disproportionate lack of upper body strength relative to my general fitness level (having only a very vague idea of what is/isn't safe in the context of weightlifting, which I…

Does making myself a roast beef sandwich count?

Yeah, I've heard  been a shitton of covers of The Dresden Dolls' "Two-Headed Boy".  I'm pretty sure Neutral Milk Hotel had an alright cover IIRC.

Parton's cover of The White Stripes' "Jolene" is better, in my opinion.

NIN's cover of "Hurt" is pretty good, but my favorite cover would probably have to be Robert Johnson's cover of Elmore James' cover of Cream's cover of Rush's "Crossroads".

"The writer was probably 22."  Counterpoint:  I'm 22, and I know really basic things about who wrote really famous songs, and expect other 22 years olds to know really basic things about who wrote really famous songs, if they're a journalist covering the music industry.

His review for Tool's Lateralus was a 1.9 and was in the form of an essay by a high school stoner heaping it with teenage-prog-fan praise, and it was the most pretentious fucking music review I've ever read, especially as the reviewer barely even fucking addresses why he didn't like the album, which , you know, when…

Something something, where's Firefly?

They really do have some pretty fantastic lyrics. The opening verse to "The Valley" and, for some reason that bit about "evil don't look like anything" from "Westfall" stand out in particular for me.

Yeah, O'Connor is fantastic.  I definitely plan on reading A Good Man is Hard to Find and her two novels in the near future.

How could PB expect Cinnamon Bun to be able to remember two very simple things at once?  It couldn't have exactly been a surprise that the experiment didn't work out.

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of 4-episode arc in this season or something?  I'm happy that next week will be something other than Finn-FP stuff too, but I can't help but feel that this isn't the end of this arc.  Finn's reaction to Flame Princess-King's takeover of the Fire Kingom show that he hasn't really…

There were some definite Oedipus vibes in this episode.
