If you had sex in high school, you might just not understand, but this makes me very happy. Poor Ultron.

I’ve discovered that most of my blog-literate co-workers already know about popastronaut and the veneer between Seattle University and my extracurricular activities is pretty thin. So, I wanted to mention that I’ve also been keeping a work blog for the past few months.
It’s still just an experiment and there’s no design to speak of, […]

Must…stop…cataloging my books…in..Library Thing. Must sleep. Damn you Spencer!

We may very well be buying a house, that is if the financing gods smile down upon us. I’m almost afraid to write this down because I dont have any wood to knock on or salt to throw over my shoulder. So, lets sum up the last three months shall we?

Our first dog […]

Whether or not this is hoax, it’s still pretty funny. Methinks we’ll see more of this kind of stuff as tech-savvy youngsters go up against their elders.

Pitchfork got their hands on an advance copy of Thom Yorke’s upcoming album The Eraser and give it high marks.
Pitchfork can be annoying with their snobbery and hipster rhetoric, but when they like something, chances are it’s very very good. Us mere mortals will get a listen in the closing credits of A Scanner […]

The marriage of high school and classic film noir seemed like the perfect match to me, so I was really excited to see Brick. I’m happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed. Turns out that the hard-boiled melodrama of Raymond Chandler is the most natural thing in the world to put in the […]

I realize Jon Stewart doesn’t need any more adulation, but if his fair and open discussion with Party of Death author Ramesh Ponnuru wasn’t enough, witness this discussion with Bill O’Reilly from October 2005.
Tea-bagging jokes aside, Jon’s respect for his guests and commitment to real political debate might make him the next Edward R. Murrow. […]

Went to the What Does Punk Look Like on Paper panel at the Experience Music Project tonight. It was interesting to hear collectors and artists discuss gig posters as an art form.
The exhibit, The Art of Modern Rock, curated by EMP, Gabe Kean, and the authors of the eponymously titled book, had a staggering […]

Enjoy the story of time-travelling painter Jean de Fleur and the color red, courtesy of Roman Coppola and Andy Bruntel.
Totally SFW, except the part where Jean is breastfed by Satan, sacrifices a goat, and is granted the power of time travel.

If last week’s show in Copenhagen is any indication, the new Radiohead album is going to be amazing. I don’t have a favorite yet. They’re all good. Thank god for fan sites.

I’m really loving Paul Pope’s Batman Year 100. It’s the best 2 dimensional riff on the dark knight for a good long while and brings a little French Comix sensibility to the character. Plus, Batman’s crazy, fake vampire teeth in issue #3 are funny as hell. Now if I can just get […]
