Vampire Hunters

Check out this website for the United States Vampire Service.   Yes, you read that correctly and it's pure ridiculousness.  I love the F.A.Q. section which answers the pressing question, "What should I do if I see a vampire?" 

"If you feel there is a threat of any kind in your neighborhood, you should call the police.  We exterminate less than ten "bugs" a year, meaning you have a better chance of being hit by lightning while a shark is eating your leg."

He's One Bad Mother

I've always had a special place in my heart for Bollywood films.  It's not that I think they're spectacular, it's just that they try so hard to be and there's something very endearing about that.  *insert snobby laughter here*  

Case in point:  Robot.  It includes what can only be described as the most insane ten minutes of action ever witnessed in a film.  Most of it is physically impossible which only adds to the fun.

Move over Bond, there's a new hero in town!

A Rooftop Becomes A Canvas

Australian artist Buff Diss has this video up on YouTube.  Some of the still life photos of broken-down, urban dwellings are hauntingly beautiful.  The fact that he's able to completely transform a landscape using nothing more than a roll of tape is absolutely awe-inspiring. (Hat tip: Neatorama)

The Blue Fawn

I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know about my sister Jessica's new Etsy store, The Blue Fawn.  She's always been one to express herself through art and her latest venture does not disappoint.  Combining her artful abilities with a little elbow grease, she's managed to breath new life into ordinary old things like buttons and bottle caps.  She also has a gorgeous collection of vintage brooches for sale.  Check it out!


Any Pitch Goes!

Given the amount of garbage out there in the movie theaters as of late,  this comic strip from See Mike Draw seems quite fitting.

Is This Seat Taken?

Behold a bird's-eye view of lunchtime stereotypes broken down by geographic location.  In the cafeteria of life, I'm pretty sure I've skewed toward the lower left of the map time and time again.

Oh Coffee, How I Love Thee!



The Oatmeal has a colorful little post up about the history of coffee.  Apparently the term "Americano" originated during WWII.   Also included in the post is a funny comic strip detailing how the human brain and caffeine interact.  Very clever!
