While trying to watch an interview (which won't load) with the band British Sea Power - I look at the sidebar's list of other interviews:

"Exclusive interview with The Boxer Rebellion."

Um, they want the British out of China?

"Exclusive interview with Metric."

They think all units of measurement should be decimalized?

"Exclusive interview with Two Door Cinema Club."

....

Ok, I've got nothing for this one.

Spring Spree

Just got back from Bazaar of the Bizarre, Toronto's twice-yearly goth/steampunk/hipster/psychobilly craft fair: Sock monkeys in Superman costumes? They got'em. Dia de los Muertos souvenirs? Check. Aprons and potholders in Frankenstein-printed fabric? Miniature fimo sushi jewelry? Notebooks bound in old vinyl LPs? Yep.

I lent green_trilobite $40 to get a pendant watch that consisted of clockwork inside a magnifying glass bubble. I got a few decorative pins and one of the sushi rings, but resisted the steampunk gear, as I really couldn't justify it as "something I can wear to my cousin's wedding in May." (OK, the sushi ring isn't very wedding-themed either.)

Personal Information (webcomic)

Newest episode is up. In this one, as per the usual convention for visual storytelling, we see that even in the near-future, video footage is grainy and desaturated so that you can tell it's video footage.
