Random life updates in the Timboverse
First off, that title is the first and last time I use "Timboverse" as it works nowhere near as well as Joss Whedon's "Whedonverse."
Alright, technically, that last sentence is the last time I use that word.
So 10 days ago was the last time I graced the interwebs with my ranting and raving in any real form that is longer than 140 characters. It has ( Read more... ) -
Leaf-peeping people, and the people who prepare to punch them.
I'll never get it.
No matter how much I try, I will never, ever, fully comprehend the leaf-pepper mentality.
For those of you not in the know (AKA, the non-New England folks, essentially): Leaf-peeping is, well, just click the damn link I set up on the word there, and read the wiki page about it.
Now, I have no issue with the actual act of admiring ( Read more... ) -
An experiment in live commentary: Tim watches "Faces of Death" and types about it at the same time.
I have always considered myself a child of media. I have always loved the evolution of mass media, and at the same time, I've always felt a fondness for many of the "cult films" of the years past.

More fucking creepy earth
Um, other things that freak me out about our planet, coming up.

Now, this one might not kill you dead, but still, it's creepy:
Yep, that's a squid with ELBOWS. Elbows, man. You don't expect that. What's next, thumbs? And you know what comes ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Unlikely Benefactor
I'd hire a gunman to take out the asshole who came up with the notion of giving me a million dollars and then making me give it away. Taste the bloody goddamn irony.

Earth is FUCKING TERRIFYING
First off, unrelated to the rest of this post... I met rapper/actor Mos Def tonight at work. He's really cool.
Anyway, that above sentence has absolutely no connection to the subject of this post. I have been thinking, dear readers, and that is never good. But I have been going over various things in my head, and I have come to the following ( Read more... ) -

Sat what you will about "Don't Worry, Be Happy," but Booby McFerrin is a musical genius who has dedicated his entire life to the art and education in the art of music (I know that sentence seems awkward, but I am too lazy to try and fix it).
