I don't know about you, but I am excited to read the book The Revolution Was Televised about the television series Lost. Jack almost wasn't the leader! (Boing Boing)

Kentucky: The Florida Of The Midwest. (Gawker)

I take that back. Florida, full of Floridians from what Bella Swan tells me, is much worse. Tell me, smarmy asshole lawyer, how is that man acting as a responsible gun owner when he is firing eight times into a vehicle of unarmed teenagers? You motherfucker. (NBC News)

Today Is FUN ONLY! And Some 90s Music Videos.

I wish that this book here, on the left? I wish it was mine. Let's get to the links!

Artist takes breakfast cereal. Artist uses it to make interesting and awesome photos of landscapes. CEREALISM! (Ernie Button)

Since we will most definitely get another Star Wars movie, we might still get to buy these rejected tie-ins. (Laughing Squid)

The Bloggess got pulled over by a police officer. She was hilarious while talking to him. You should also treat yo self and read the random bunches of thoughts in the post before this one. (The Bloggess)

TK has written a SUPERB piece about race and gender on "The Walking Dead". (Pajiba)

Speaking of TK, do you like whiskey? Do you like advent calendars? I have something for you! Well, to show you. (Uncrate)

Sandy Won't Ruin MY Halloween

Let's begin with some Halloween-themed cake masterpieces. (Cake Wrecks)

These ladies win Halloween. Just, don't even bother with your witty women binders or whatever. HOCUS POCUS, BITCHES! (via Reddit)

Here's a lovely essay about a woman seeking to connect with her late father by attending the Fuller show on "Progress" and possible disaster aversion. (Harpers)

Always remember: batteries and...something about a bathtub? (The Onion)

Some alleged time travelers share their stories with us...(Weird Worm)

Whatever Happened To Pinup Halloween Photos?

Pinky McLadybits

Oh, Courtney. How I love you and your takes on the sometimes odious and always over the top shenanigans of celebrities. This time Courtney takes on Timberlake and Biel's wedding. (Pajiba)

Moving from dickbags to amazing DIYers, here is a tutorial on how to create some sweet dragon wings for Halloween. If you have the time, I highly recommend looking through Jen's other tutorials. (Epbot)

Australia has so many strange creatures that I'm gobsmacked that they don't have actual winged dragons as well. (WOOOO SEGUE WAY!) Check out this baby echidna puggle. And yes, I thought it was a puppy of some kind before I clicked through...(Tastefully Offensive)

This site is equal parts guilty pleasure and just guilt. It's a live fashion blog in that it shows you photos of people walking down the street in Williamsburg. Then you rate the style of the people walking by. It's guilty pleasure because I love people watching. It's guilt because most of the people probably don't know they're being judged by quite so many people. (Styleblaster)

Bring On the Weekend! Bring On the Batman!

Our hearts go out to the victims of the midnight shooting in Colorado and their families. (People)

Happy Friday!  Do you have your tickets ready for the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" this weekend?  Or have you already seen it at a midnight opening, you lucky ducks?  I won't be seeing it for a few days, which means it's time to avoid the internet again (I won't be spoiled!).  

If you're in a Batman mood, take a trip down memory lane with this real-time review of Joel Schumacher's opus "Batman & Robin."  It's much better if you read this article instead of attempting to watch it yourself... well, better for you, at least.  (Pajiba)

Speaking of superheroes, these amazing retro art posters capture my favorite team, the X-Men, in eye-popping colors.   Who wouldn't want a "BAMF!" poster for their wall?? (Etsy)

Molecule, a new store in NYC, sells tap water.  That's it.  Just specially filtered, $2.50 for a 16-ounce bottle, tap water.  Choice quote from the article - "I think you'll have people who will start becoming water connoisseurs."  Uh.  Even if you add electrolytes and vitamins, it's just WATER.  Sheesh!  (WSJ)

I Could Use a Little Romance Sometimes

MelBivDevoe

Oh, Fabio.  You really are a living, breathing romance cover.  

I'm a sap for romantic stories of love conquering all.  In this case, love conquered the spirit of competition in the Olympic games for these 9 couples.  (Time)

This has to be one of the best pieces of satire that I've read in a while.  And yes, it IS satire.  Author Amber Estes, a student at UGA,  fooled everyone, even sites like Jezebel with her sarcastic wit - and kudos to her!  Here are her instructions on how to snag that perfect husband while in college.  (Red&Black)

When I first read this headline, "Is an Expensive Haircut Worth It?" I assumed they meant like a $100 cut.  But $950???  For a haircut???  Unless that cut comes with a freakin' diamond tiara, it's not worth it! (Shine)

Zachary Levi kissed a fan for a $1000 donation at a charity event at Comic Con this weekend, and from this video, you can see it was quite a smooch!  Then Nathan Fillion wanted in on the action.  And so did Adam Baldwin.  Can't blame 'em - who could resist Levi?  (Crushable)

Sorry About The Lazy. Kind Of.

Well, so much for dropping your cable or satellite to watch shows on Hulu instead.  Looks like Hulu might be requiring a subscription to one of those services in the future.  (Warming Glow)

 Happy Wednesday, y'all.  Is it me or is this week just slooooooowly dragging along?  You could probably use a pick-me-up or twelve.  So I found these links for you.  Because I'm a frickin' sweetheart sometimes. 

Let's get things started with some bracket fun!  I don't mean NCAA brackets - lord knows mine are all shot to hell (damn it, Michigan State!).  Over on io9, you can vote for the Worst Science Fiction Movie Ever!  (io9)

Well, of course Jesus is preapproved.  People have been giving him credit for YEARS.  (Consumerist)

Anyone who's pregnant or has been pregnant can relate to this hilarious article from Courtney Enlow.  And those of us who haven't been, we can learn from it (or get our tubes tied from fear, whatever).  (Pajiba)

Frick On A Stick With A Brick!: TUESDAY!

Pinky McLadybits

I've been working my way through a six-pack, along with some help from my husband, of various hard ciders and lagers chosen at Jungle Jim's. It's delicious. Alcohol friend. Alcohol also good at 10 other things. (io9)

Alcohol can make you think that looking like a doll is a good idea. So maybe get a couple of drinks in you and watch this tutorial on how to get that glassy-eyed look of creepiness. (Boing Boing)

It might be Spring Break in your area or maybe not for another few weeks. I never went any place super whorish for Spring Break, or anywhere at all for that matter, but I know that Cancun is popular. However, some of the regular residents don't like it so much. (Huffington Post)

It's National Hot Young Studs On Motorcycles Day. Totally.

That there's Steven R. McQueen (the iconic actor's grandson).  I have no other words.  Just sounds.  Ahem...links?

Steve McQueen - no not that Steve McQueen (I was disappointed despite knowing that THE Steve McQueen passed away years ago) - claims Michael Fassbender was passed over at Oscar nomination time because Americans are prudes.  (The Guardian)

A Swedish doctor is being charged with two cases of sexual abuse for demonstrating what he called the "Windshield Wiper" technique on two of his patients.  Nowhere in the article is this technique described.  Nice reporting, random Swedish writer.  (The Local)

I'll Take My Groundhog With Extra Cilantro, Thanks

Kolby

I'm back, friends and lovers!  It's been a rollercoaster of a few days for me, but the short and sweet of it is that a group of the most amazing people on the planet (also, Mars) got together and presented yours truly with a shiny new laptop on which to pretend to work.  I'm still in shock, and ever so grateful.  There are good people in the world?  No effing way!  So, without further BS, here are your Groundhog Day (don't get me started on that little bastard and his shadow) Hot Links.

If this infographic is a reliable indicator, then we are, like, so totally not alone in the universe.  Someone get Jodie Foster on the horn. (Space)

I simply don't get to the museum often enough. Seriously, I enjoy the museum! Luckily, some people choose to share their favorite exhibits with others. (Boing Boing)

Damn it! No wonder I can't remember the 23rd President of the United States or the capital of Brazil! I've been learning incorrectly! (Wired)

The area behind our entertainment center thing is like a graveyard for dust bunnies. Cords, more cords, wires, and dust. If I thought I could successfully put everything back where it belongs, I'd get right on this. (Lifehacker)

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault is always treated as a crime that women helped bring upon themselves. In this article there is an amazing graphic imagining of how it would look if all victims were treated as those who've been raped. There is also information about a project where rape victims hold up signs with things their attackers said to them. Amazing. (Persephone Magazine)

I think we've all heard about Starbucks offering alcohol in select locations. I'm sick of hearing about it. I'd much rather this were the bigger Starbucks story. (That's Nerdalicious!)

I've been wanting this shower curtain and bath mat (ThinkGeek), but my husband says noooo. I wonder if he'd let me decorate the house with any of these...(Home Tone)

Speaking of red things, have you seen The Bloggess's Traveling Red Dress Project? It's still going strong. (The Bloggess)

Hoarding is bad, as anyone who has watched even a minute of the show Hoarders can attest. Messy, smelly, and liable to help your house burn to the ground. (Huffington Post)

Even worse than hoarding beer cans is hoarding animals. Keep in mind, all of these were hoarded in an apartment. (Sun Sentinal via Fark)

I haven't been able to enjoy the Second Coming (heh heh, coming..) of Beavis and Butthead, as I don't have cable or satellite right now. LAME. Makeup effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick clearly likes them too, since he made these real-life bust-mask hybrids of them. Butthead totally looks like a kid I went to school with.(reddit)

Happy Friday the 13th! Why do people think that a day numbered a certain way is bad luck? Even before Vorhees was on the scene, thirteen was an unlucky number and Friday the 13th? Ooooh, boy. (How Stuff Works)

Did you know that there is an actual name for those that fear Friday the 13th? They are friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia. Me? I fear April Fool's Day, especially since I witnessed a small plane crash in a field by the parking lot is was in, waiting for a friend for lunch. (Fark)

I had a meltdown yesterday about several ventures I am currently trying to get off the ground. Luckily, my ladies were there to pick me up, as always. I'm sure that the women and men on this list of world-changing tech founders felt that way at least once. (Entrepreneur)

It's Wednesday, friends, and I'm a little extra perky this morning because tonight marks the return of Happy Endings and the always pleasurable (in an only slightly guilty way) Revenge.  The TV is mine again!  I hope you've got something to look forward to today, and to get you started off on the right foot, here are your Wednesday links.

In case you're out there looking for a new job, here's a quick study on How To Be a Dictator.  (The Economist)

If your evening's free tonight (or tomorrow night), take a few moments to stand outside and observe the Quandrantids meteor shower.  I don't know if there's anything on TV tonight, but if there is, I doubt it will be better than this.  (spacedex)

This was posted yesterday, but it would do all of us well to read it and take it to heart.  So many of us suffer from depression, and suffer in silence, and it's both refreshing and reassuring to know that we are not alone.  (The Bloggess)
