The Batman Countdown

Since The Dark Knight Rises comes out this summer, I made a cute little GIF animation in Photoshop that's a Batman-themed countdown.  Use it the day before the midnight showing of the movie to count down till the Dark Knight Rises premiers.  (If you want.  You don't have to.)  Anyway, here it is.

Super Moon!

Last night, we witnessed an event that only occurs roughly once every eighteen years-- A super moon!
On the moon's cycle around the earth, sometimes it is closer to the earth than others.  When the moon is at it's closest, when it is rising or setting (whenever it's close to the horizon), it appears to be larger than usual... And coupled with a full moon, it's quite a sight.  Check out these photos that popped up on the internet the next morning:

Bookshelf Porn

2. more acquainted with books  than with real life.

I would like to begin this post by saying that a) the porn I speak of is in no way inappropriate, and is in fact just a compilation of all the world's coolest bookshelves, and b) sit down, strap in, and get ready-- because folks, this is just plain amazing.  I'm posting some pictures of my favorites, but if you want to go to the website (and trust me: you DO.) I have posted a link, which is below:

Episode 1... The final installment...

Hello everybody!  Here's the final installment of Episode I as Explained by a 3-Year-Old!  Next up is Episode II, which doesn't stick to the story very much (in fact, most of it seems to be from Episode I as well!) and a miscellaneous Star Wars adventure that doesn't adhere to the plot of any Star Wars movie in any way, and is just something I made up.
