“I’m not going to lie to you: Pretty much my whole life right now is leading up to the Mad Men season 3 premiere on August 16. I’m so excited, I’m practically vibrating. You can judge me if you want, but I’m perfectly fine with my priorities.” —Kona Gallagher, TV Squad

My feelings exactly mirror hers. Can’t wait!

Bluish Animal Collective

The most magical love/lust song ever written. Peep the amazing lyrics. Absolutely fantastic.

Put on the dress that I like
It makes me so crazy, though I can’t say why
Keep on your stockings for a while
Some kind of magic in the way you’re lying there

I didn’t ‘get’ Animal Collective when I first listened to Merriweather Post Pavilion—which is my first AC album—and I even complained about it on Twitter, but after several more listens I fell in love with “My Girls”. Soon after that I found “Bluish” to be even more amazing and that’s when I pretty much ignored my initial impression and gave MPP another well-deserved listen.

Now I’m in love with Animal Collective.

The rest of the album is also splendid, especially “Brother Sport”. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go catch up on all the Animal Collective that’s been missing from my life.

Is it a bit much to follow both Fuck Yeah Emma Watson and I Love Emma Watson?

I THINK NOT.

Microsoft’s Revenue Falls 17%; PC Slump Continues → nytimes.com

Microsoft has closed out perhaps its most difficult year as a public company in less than stellar fashion. On Thursday, the company significantly missed Wall Street’s fourth-quarter revenue target and reported the first decline in full-year revenue in its 34-year history.

Ouch. Compare that to Apple’s excellent fiscal Q3’09 and a recent report by NPD that claims that Apple has 91% of the market for $1000+ PCs.

I guess Microsoft’s snide Laptop Hunters ads haven’t work as well as they’d hoped.

Fancy Fast Food → fancyfastfood.com

These photographs show extreme makeovers of actual fast food items purchased at popular fast food restaurants. No additional ingredients have been added except for an occasional simple garnish.

This is oddly fascinating and disturbing to my insides at the same time. I’m following this tumblelog for future gross-outness.

Power Supply Calculator → educations.newegg.com

This awesome utility by Newegg gives you a general idea of what wattage PSU you’ll need for your build. I need an estimated 442W for my 2005 rig, which is pretty close to my actual 600W PSU. Good to know. Thanks, Newegg!

Exit Strategy NYC → exitstrategynyc.com

An iPhone app that tells you where to stand on the New York City subway so you would be optimally positioned near your desired street exit when you disembark. Kottke says this is called prewalking.

I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those things that once you use, you’d wonder how you ever lived without it.

Bing vs. Google → bing-vs-google.com

Side-by-side comparison for Microsoft’s infant search engine Bing and Google’s unstoppable juggernaut. Custom tables and formatting for certain search terms puts Bing squarely between the ‘tricked out “knowledge engine” but almost useless as a search engine’ Wolfram Alpha and ‘powerful and by far the most comprehensive search engine but no frills’ Google.

7 Mistakes that Prolong the Misery of a Breakup → shine.yahoo.com

by Shine from Yahoo!   [via dearmary]

  1. Why can’t we be friends? This sounds nice but in reality an ex does not make a true friend, especially immediately after the breakup.
  2. I must have closure. Closure can be difficult to obtain no matter how many conversations one has. The best closure can come from resisting the urge for dialogue and moving on.
  3. I just need to make sense of it all, and I just have one more thing to say before you go. Another version of closure and another reason to stay in contact when in reality this just gives your ex another opportunity to hurt you. Not fun.
  4. I want to be available for reconciliation. Wanting to get back together is a fair feeling to have. Even if you do end up reconciling, the relationship will undoubtedly be different. It is still important to take some time without speaking in order to mourn the relationship and contemplate how you really feel.
  5. I just need to give their stuff back. Do it quickly, in the first couple days. After that, use one of our many mail services.
  6. I miss the physical intimacy. And your ex is familiar because you know them (and it won’t increase your “number”). But again, this is just prolonging the inevitable and will keep you stuck in the past. Time to cut off the ex and find someone new (or maybe even just yourself) to get jiggy with.
  7. We run in the same circles. If this is the case, you won’t be able to help running into your ex, but that does not mean you need to get in touch afterward. Keep your conversations polite, brief and away from anything that can bring up negative feelings from the past. Obviously easier said than done.

“What does it say about the world today when shows about love and hope and magic can’t survive? I’m sorry, but it can’t be argued that [Pushing Daisies] wasn’t sharply written, well-acted, [or] well-produced. It’s not about time slots or preemptions or ABC’s failure to promote. The real issue, I fear, is that the core values of these shows just didn’t connect with viewers, which is maybe the saddest part of the whole story.” —

“Nick” in TV Guide’s Ask Matt rant/rave/questions roundup on Pushing Daisies’ untimely cancellation on ABC.

I highly recommend reading the whole roundup because it contains possibly the most fair, levelheaded, and reasonable discussion of show-canceling politics I read anywhere.

“Nick”—no last name given—doesn’t blame the low-brow nature of today’s TV series and reality shows, but rather the stupid people who choose to watch, and thus support, these inane, juvenile ‘other’ shows. It isn’t the fault of the networks if they’re just producing and greenlighting reality shows and other forms of cheap entertainment when that’s exactly what are attracting viewers and their valuable eyeballs. You can’t blame the networks for canceling our great but hardly watched shows to make room for dimwitted but eyeball-friendly shows when we the viewers—as a whole at least—actually seem to prefer the latter? And as Nick so succinctly writes, that’s what’s saddest and scariest of all.

“Oh. I just got all tingly, and not just in the nether regions.” —

Olive Snook, Pushing Daisies

Oh, Pushing Daisies, you are such a fantastic show. Watching you makes me realize:

A. I have a strong craving for some delicious pie now,
B. Anna Friel (‘Lonely Tourist’ Charlotte “Chuck” Charles) is beyond adorable and I totally have a crush on her, and
C. My hatred for networks canceling good shows now extends beyond just FOX, it now includes ABC. Bunch of idiots.

  • Ned: You’re the only one for me.
  • Charlotte “Chuck” Charles: I know you feel that now, but… there are things you want. There are things we both want.
  • Ned: So? Everyone wants stuff. We wake up everyday with a list of wishes a mile long, and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true but just because we want them doesn’t mean we need them to be happy.
  • Charlotte “Chuck” Charles: What do you need to be happy?
  • Ned: [smiling slightly] You.
