July 2010
However, this is amazing.

Dude’s got bathtime all figured out.
It’s inspirational.
I am SUCH A NERD, but the front cover of that comic book is to a 60s Gil Kane issue and the back cover design is from the 80s or early 90s. Nice try, prop department.

And yes, apparently I’m using Tumblr as Twitter. Even though I have a Twitter account. But no one follows me there.
I downloaded 6GB worth of songs overnight to trim down to a two-hour playlist. What is wrong with me?

Sigh.
I guess Apple is no longer in the business of selling games for 5G iPods. I don’t want an iPhone (because I don’t want a phone), but I like fiddling around with my iPod while listening and I’m bored with everything I have on it now.
Planned obsolescence is the fucking worst.

Wait, we have to pick Edward or Jacob? We can’t pick “Bella leaves the immature bullshit drama behind and makes a life for herself that doesn’t involve imaginary creatures”?
Because that’s my pick.

Minor morning sitting in traffic revelation:
Eminem ft. Rihanna’s “Love The Way You Lie” is way better if you assume that Eminem’s in character as Chris Brown.
It's a new template (but an old snapshot)
koganbot:
Those who are reading this on the dashboard should come visit my new template, which aligns my text correctly when I respond to the “quote” format (which I still think people shouldn’t use, since it doesn’t allow us to screw around with headlines, and man, if Tumblr’s selling point is how user friendly it is, it’s sure not winning my admiration; also, does anyone know what Tumblr’s...

LUIS MIGUEL, “ENTRÉGATE” →
Can you tell I’m running out of things to say about professionally produced, floridly sung, and hyperbolically written ballads? Luis Miguel remains “pop royalty,” as I put it in the tags, the King of his era and demesne of Pop so utterly and completely that I’m tempted to borrow a phrase from Tom Ewing (or rather from Neil Tennant) and call this his “imperial...
Heard Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love” on the radio for the first time today, and can’t get it out of my head. Which is probably more to do with its sampling Annie Lennox’s “No More I Love You’s” than with the actual song (though “you got spark, yeah you got spunk/you-you got somethin’ all the girls want” keeps running through my head too,...

Slow, but really useful if you’re obsessive about your tags.

Ha, so a very popular comics writer reblogged a reblog of something I posted (and removed the linkbacks, which whatever), and now I’ve been getting so many phantom likes through her that it’s kind of making me yearn for the usual quiet state of my Tumblr. Of course if Tumblarity was still around, I’d be so excited.

WatchPaul F. Tompkins’ Sexy Bee bit. It doesn’t end quite as explosively as the version on the Comedy Death Ray album, because he can’t swear (fucking basic cable), but he makes up for it with a well-delivered tag.
Paul F. Tompkins is America’s greatest working comedian, by the way. In case you weren’t clear on that.

– Franklin P. Adams, ca. 1936.
Just a warning, I’ll probably be posting more FPA from time to time here. His old Conning Tower column was like a primordial Tumblr, bite-sized thoughts, light verse, and epigrams that were just as often reblogged from contributors as original.

comic-relief asked: Urgh, thank you for the correction. Damn, I am so full of fail today. I took that right out of the book minutes after reading it. I have no idea how I missed such an obvious thing. But I appreciate you catching it for me.

Every interaction with another human being is preceded by a silent “God damn it” before I smile politely and make eye contact.

New Rule:
You don’t get to coyly pepper your prose with fragments of Elizabethan English unless you understand how “doth” and “hath” and “thou” actually work.
No exceptions.

How do you not know Mr. Mind?! You need to read some Golden Age Captain Marvel, STAT.
I have a confession to make. I have zero interest in Golden Age beyond amusement at some of the goofy plotlines and enjoyment of the unique art style. The stories don’t engage me and there are only so many Rainbow Batman stories I can laugh at before I’m plumb bored. I know, I know. I’m a bad...

– fuckyeahyglesias
A handful of conversations around Tumblr over the past couple of weeks have made me realize that I think about the 1990s the way (I think) my parents’ generation has thought about the 1960s.
Like older Boomers who were all over Elvis as teens and came of age in the surf-and-girl-group-and-beat 60s and saw their roseate Kennedy memories replaced by the hippies-and-acid-and-free-love...
