Tony Gilroy, you’re a very smart director. Is that what you wanted me to say? OK, you’re a very very smart director (*ruffling his hair*). There.
Next time can you make a heist movie where great scenes and sharp performances aren’t hamstrung by poor pacing, whiny main characters, and a romance that we can’t be bothered investing in because you apparently couldn’t be either?
And can it have more of Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson beating the holy hell out of each other?

Patton Oswalt -- KFC Famous Bowl -- not only funny, but a couple moments of pure poetry in about three minutes.
Gotye -- Hearts a Mess -- Haunting, beautiful, surreal.
Royksopp -- Remind Me. Came out a few years back, still amazes me. I love infographics anyways, so this is just the sauce of awesome.
Cheburashka -- This stop-motion animation contains a Soviet crocodile playing the concertina. That is all you need know.
Bonus Track:The BPA (aka Norman Cook fka Fatboy Slim) featuring David Byrne and Dizzie Rascal - Toe Jam. Infectious song, the video’s pretty clever as well.

I touch lightly on so many sites in the course of a day of web surfing and it all kind of blurs together. Bear with me, won’t you, while I try and break it down a few distinct highlights.
First, a warning from me to you:
If the gate didn’t getcha, wonders await after the jump…

Drawing I did of Dani Moonstar and Illyana Rasputin from New Mutants. For someone who reads a lot of comics, I haven’t done too many drawings of favorite characters… 
Time in a Heavy Way
by admin on Apr.01, 2009, under Errata
Little note to myself from 2006:
The rain is falling and the aquarium filter is going and so’s the heater and somewhere between them all I’m hearing plucked guitar harmonics. Everything is time. Everything is vibrating at different rates. Every color you can see, every note you can hear, every shiver on your skin, is your brain dealing with time in a heavy way.
