The New Boredom

Been busy.

Enjoy these things because I have way too many stupid tabs open in firefox. Combine that with the program’s might-as-well-be-new-name Firefox (Not Responding) and you’ve got a recipe rich with my rage.

First up is a trials video worth watching (rare these days). Rowan slays it and his nose-pick to fakie manual stuff is just bonkers.

And here’s Steven Hamilton’s classic Federal video part using that rad Clinic song. This part still kills it and stands as some of the most inspired and varied riding parts in bmx.

Here’s a music video for Fujiya and Miyagi’s song Ankle Injuries. I still, 3 years later cannot tell if this damn thing is really stop-motion or if it’s just some god damned after effects plug-in. I’m holding hopes for real animation because if so… that’s nuts.

The AV Club is doing lists of bests for the decade lately. You should go browse through them as you are probably missing out on some great books/music/movies. I’ve only got 36 of their best 50 movies under my belt. I got some homework to do.

Here’s a chart of the evolution of the Hipster care of Paste Magazine. Sigh.

Here’s a list of the 50 best album covers of the year (the av club did a list of the worst album covers of the decade this week, go read that too).

If you read anything from this post or click on any link from this rambling non-sense I’m posting, MAKE IT THIS.

Hair. I like hair.

Just not in my mouth or my food.

A sharp decline in the frequency and quality of content around here since October 1st.

And if so, sorry.

I’m working what equates to about 2.5 jobs at times and it’s really a kick in the pants. I get home and I’m tired as a dog and the last thing I really want to do is stare at a computer screen any more. My social life has taken a slight hit but much like the economic recession, my social-life-recession is “over” and “recovering” (though just like the economic recovery, I find that to be a pretty vaporous claim). Along with my social life climbing out of the gutter, my interblag life will rise too. I’d like to get back to more deal breakers and story times and such.

This is a pretty sad post but it seemed like a good state of our union time to me.

Here, watch this 22 minute documentary about the “business” side of porn and how porn went 2.0 like the rest of the web and the business world. There, hopefully that was worth your trip to The New Boredom.

I can’t see a pug without thinking of Maria Bamford now.

If you’re anything like me then you probably spend entirely too much time on the interblags. And if, like me, you get the jokes about all these ways to waste your time on the internet…. then join me. Not in person of course, just a metaphor.

Internet vices.

And just to give you something to think about, here is a list of countries (and states) and their age of consent laws.

Notice the Vatican. 12. Yikes.

Can’t wait to do this in the spring.

Watch this video.

Or Don’t.

I don’t care.

The Last Supper, internet editon.

I listened to Hall and Oates on the way to work this morning and even though it was cold, and I was riding my bike, and campus was empty, it still sort of felt like a big dance sequence.

Yup. Good morning.
