Blue + Green = Red

Thank god for work. If it wasn't for work, I wouldn't have an unfathomable abyss of things to complain and whine about.

(As you know, dear readers, I'm not happy unless I hate.)

It's been a demoralizing week, despite the little teambuilding activity we were all required to go to last week. It just goes to show how useless those things are if the people above don't put it in practice.

And by people above, I don't mean God. Because I'm pretty sure teambuilding activities were definitely made by the Devil.

I love New York Magazine:

For the (alleged) cover of Weezer's third self-titled album (and sixth overall), band sheriff Rivers Cuomo has rounded up a posse, made up of Scott Weiland, his accountant, and the best Jason Schwartzman impersonator he could find on short notice, to intimidate critics and bloggers who won't fall in line and say it's their best record since Pinkerton. We'll submit, if only because anything has to be better than Make Believe.

So funny.

Since nothing much is going on in my life (except going to New Zealand in May. What? Is that sort of thing blog-worthy?) I've decided to bring you, my dear readers, some interesting things I found while pretending to work but actually surfing the internet.

I wrote the first part of this entry yesterday, and I'm finishing it while on break from writing for Mornings@ANC. I'm covering for someone and I've been up since 4am after a very brief sleep of about 2 hours.

This coffee that I'm currently sipping is helping with my re-animation though...

Michael Chabon's dust jacket for his new book is amazing.

I started knitting because I saw uber-cheap copies of Craft Magazine in Booksale. It's a cheerful magazine on everything crafty. Their website is adorable as well. The blog is chockful of the coolest craft projects from blogs and sites all over the internet.


Knitted catnip eyeballs, anyone?

Free books on the internet!!!

I'm currently reading "Fanny Hill", a bawdily classic 18th century novel. The site includes a folder for images from the book. But alas! The folder is empty. So no ribald prints for me to peruse while reading a young girl's tragic sexual exploits.

The Magazineer is a blog that reviews magazines. Simple 'no?

Wolf Parade has a new song! EEEEE!!!!!


It's on Stereogum.
