Running free, running free...
YouTube is like an endless abyss of awesome. Stuff of significance tonight includes:
The Magnetic Fields' "With Whom To Dance" video!
The Dr. Seuss Bible!
Vaya con dios, el faggotI absolutely love the internet. I saw this on the Colbert Report a few days ago and thought, I hope someone puts that on YouTube so I can link to it! And here it is ( Read more... ) -

It's been 10 days since I've updated? How sad.
