Corpse Bride Fun

Here are some fun activities that are being used to promote The Corpse Bride.  You can send your friends a scary message at Bonymail.com or channel the great beyond using this new online Ouija board.  What a great way to get the kiddies into the dark arts!

The Cyborg Name Game

                  

Apparently I'm a slutty robot.  What's your cyborg name?

Coxsucker

Brian Cox is joining the cast of Deadwood!

Cox will play Jack Langrishe, an eccentric producer and theater owner who strives to introduce a modicum of culture to the mean streets of the South Dakota town where the Western drama is set.

I would love, love, LOVE to see him duke it out with Al Swearengen.

Driving Mix

I'm always on the lookout for new music, so I was wondering if you guys could offer some suggestions for a driving mix. If you want to share a driving mix that you've already made, that would rock, too.

K9

                

Doctor Who's robotic pet K9 will be coming back in the new series.

John Leeson, the voice of K9, said: "I am delighted to have been invited back on board the series - and a little gathered rust is no object to a fully functional K9!"

Couch-potato pets

Pets are becoming TV's newest audience.

“A dog will look at the on-screen picture and you can see it thinking 'I wonder if …' as it runs around to the back. 'That’s funny, they’re not here.' Back the front of the screen. 'Ah, yes, they are still here.' Then around to the back again …"

My dogs don't really care about what's on TV.  The only time they seem interested is when they hear a doorbell ring (because they think someone is really at the door) or when they hear a baby cry.

Hamster Power!

A 16-year-old boy invented a hamster-powered cell phone charger for his science project.  The poor kid only got a C out of the project.

Christopher Hitchens vs Jon Stewart

Watch Jon Stewart make Christopher Hitchens his sputtering bitch. 

Oh, how I love Crooks & Liars.

Art for nerds

               

Paintings inspired by Mystery Science Theatre 3000!

The Museum of Modern Robocop Art.

I dated Kate from Lost

Some news reporter tries to remember his date with Evangeline Lilly.  He thinks it may have been boring.  Um, but what does she care?  She's enjoying hot, dirty Hobbit love now (maybe).  Does anyone out there know for sure if she's dating Dominic?   They make a cute couple.

Acuarela

Acuarela is a blog devoted to watercolors.  It's educational, very pretty and soothing.
