Look, I recognize it’s been a while since I’ve come around and tended to this little corner of the internet, but it doesn’t mean my feelings have change about what we share over at this little corner of the internet where camp is queen, and it definitely doesn’t mean my feelings have changed about the Robot [...]

July 22, 2010
So by now I imagine we’ve all come across that little corner of the internet where you can have your writing analyzed and compared to famous authors throughout the ages, the one that’s aptly named I Write Like.

The Robot Apocalypse Will Be Christina Hendricks
June 4, 2010
So fabulous, of course: And, as Robot Apocalypses are wont to be, f*ckin’ bleak. Slant Magazine‘s blog, The House Next Door, was kind enough let me share my crazy about the new Broken Bells video for “The Ghost Inside,” so fetch yourself a some glamourous glasses and a poolside martini and check it out over [...]

I mean, I guess it’s great to be the couple of nerds that fall in love and decide that the best way to express your commitment to each other is by having the first wedding ever performed by a robot. People spend their whole lives hoping to make that sort of connection, even though that [...]
At Least the Robot Apocalypse Will Still Have Bad Community Theater
March 5, 2010
And now, from its creators, a few words on the RoboThespian: As an actor, it is a mirror. The most difficult question you may have to answer yourself is: ‘what am I for?’ RoboThespian™ demonstrates that utility is not a prerequisite for existence, a concept familiar to the artist but alien to the engineer. ‘Necessity [...]
The Black Eyed Peas’ “Imma Be Rocking That Body” Is Epic, Makes Total Sense
February 18, 2010
Only one of the above statements is true. Given that this 10-minute plutonium-powered crazy train video contains break-dancing robots and silver Phantom of the Opera masks and the Black Eyed Peas shooting people with dance rifles, can you guess which one?

Jersey Shore Deep Thoughts: On Nicknames
January 7, 2010
The simple reality of Jersey Shore is that, so long as you don’t think too hard about, everything about Jersey Shore is completely amazing, so it should go without saying that the nicknames are just another part of the equation.

Sweet Shimmying Moses, Japan! Must You So Recklessly Play With the Flames of the Robot Apocalypse?!?
December 1, 2009
There is no reason for anyone to like robots. For one thing, they could very well be the harbingers of the apocalypse. Also, they’re just creepy. Even Asimo, that robot by Honda: He is NOT to be trusted. First he will replace the world’s interns and personal assistants by winning your trust when he brings you your [...]

August 12, 2009
So, I’m sitting here in a Marietta Starbucks, missing New York and hopped up on way too much caffeine–provided by mine and Benji’s favorite barista, Shmason–and passing the time by cackling not-so-quietly to Benji’s latest witticisms.
