Websites I Designed #5

ronbabcock:

Heather Thomson’s new site. I love how simple it turned out. I also loved how we did it all in one day and capped it off by watching Sorority Wars on Lifetime. I have a thing for shitty movies.

If any of you need a website, I highly recommend Mr. Ron Babcock.

I was about to post this and tell a story about why this is the only song I can play on the recorder. Then on the Lena Horne episode of The Muppet Show I’m currently watching, Gonzo said he was going to play a special rendition of ‘Pop Goes the Weasel.’
SYNERGY!

Robin the Frog - Halfway Down the Stairs - The Muppet Show

Harvey Korman episode, FTW.

For the last year I have been bitching about Twilight to anyone who will listen.
Part of the reason Twilight irks me so is because when I was 12-14 years old, I read Christopher Pike’s The Last Vampire series and it was not cool. Suddenly I’m 27 and the thing that made me a big weirdo is mainstream.
But the other thing that irks me is that in Pike’s vampire books, the girl was the vampire. The girl was the dangerous one. There’s something infinitely sickening about the manic embrace of a vampire series that instead puts the girl in the weakened position. My favorite vampire series fell by the wayside 15 years ago and now this beige wafer swoops in and waters down the genre? And everyone loves it for doing so? Gross. So I have been going from bookstore to bookstore for the past year looking for The Last Vampire books, hoping to see them revamped to compete with Twilight.
And lo! Today I was in Target and what do I see but Christopher Pike’s name on something called Thirst No. 1 - none other than the first three Last Vampire books packaged together and given a provocative, but not-too-bloody new name, under the guise of being a volume. Ho! WHAT’S UP, BITCHES? VICTORY IS MINE!
So get on it, tweens. I see your Mormon-based “waiting until marriage” vampire series and I raise you a new age/Krishna-based vampire series loaded with sex and violence. Like a vampire series ought to be.

The Deadly Syndrome - I Hope I Become A Ghost

At the show on Tuesday, after they finished this song, a guy behind me said, “All right! That was some rocking out!” There was something endearing about him exclaiming this for all to hear.

My boyfriend is the President.

Japan, we need to have a talk. It’s about how fucking bonkers you are. That’s … that’s it. That’s the end of the talk. You can go now.

When I was three years old, I told my mom I wanted to be a ballerina who tells jokes.
Maybe I would look something like this.
