O.O did anyone else see that and think of the UFOs in Close Encounters? the future is NOW, baby. bring it on.

for most things, i agree — i'd MUCH rather get an email/text/photo/tweet/etc about it. phone conversations are largely tedious wastes of time. let's minimize them.

"That there isn't a Pinterest for women yet just fucking amazes me." — um, wouldn't pinterest for women be redundant?

i am suddenly in deep moustache envy.

yeah, i'm holding out for a Khazad Dum set. but that gandalf in the tiniest set looks awesome!

my big disappointment with this ad was that they didn't get the original Cameron to cameo. : (

i find it interesting that 2 days after the tech world stops SOPA, this sudden crackdown on tech happens. follow the money, i say. if they suddenly announce a similar crackdown on the music industry and hollywood, i'd be surprised, but i'm not going to hold my breath. this smacks of retaliation from the check writers.

the colors seem a bit too saturated to me.... like Technicolor movies or something. is it just me? the faces of Darwin and Roosevelt seem TOO pink, like they are flushed.

CDs? you kids get offa my lawn! i know all these covers in VINYL.

you could also plant seeds in mostly-whole eggshell "cups", which are good for the soil, and easy to crack and remove if you need to.
