The "we're totally doing regular roundups again" Roundup

I know, I know. this is your favorite thing in the world.

By this, I mean my roundups.

Seriously. Since I have so much free time now, I've been stumbling again.


Truth. Here are some awesome things I found while doing that stupid thing.

Okay, my first favorite thing is findnewjams, a site that hosts thousands of songs you can listen to for free. I've found a whole lot of new music via this site in just a few days.

Next, a tool for our LuLu who is being... well, a big ol' "Debby Downer" who will hopefully stop complaining soon, because, LOOK, finally she can listen to my heartbeat from thousands of miles away via a light-up pillow. True story.

Oh, look at this, McDonald's is humorous.

Finally, my new favorite way to find things to cook, Tyler Capp's cooking comically, which makes me want to make everything all the time.


I don't think I need to explain myself.



Now, pictures!

Also, no, I am NOT cutting these anymore. Why? Because FUCK YOU, that's why.

This is why we only trust Maxium about boobs.

When I grow up, I'd like to be her.

Amazingly adorable.

...seriously?

Lulu and I will soon show you our equally geeky tattoos- who am I kidding, this is the best ever.

If you are so inclined, you can buy this here

Are you a girl? You know this is true.

Are you human? You know why I posted this.

Man-flavored Eye Candy

So, as we get further and further into autumn, I am reminded how nice it is to have someone to snuggle up with on cold nights. Since I lack that most of the time now and will lack it 100% of the time coming up here real quick, I turn to you: the internet.

[Studio audience: Jesus Crispies, are all of your posts going to be this depressing after your main squeeze leaves?!?!?]

Yes. As a matter of fact, in an episode of weird single behavior, my new roommate and I skipped down to our local Dairy Queen (A block away. Bad idea.) and bought an entire ice cream cake for ourselves...and ate 75% of it in four days. Half-off Tuesday Cakes will be the death of us both.

But anyway, I digress.

Without further ado, with a post shamelessly stolen from the well-meaning folks at Buzzfeed.com, some man-candy for you to look at in classic pin-up poses.








Sigh.

More at the source.

Until next time, behave yourselves! For god sakes....

On-the-road roundup

This week, my excuse is that I'm moving LITERALLY across the country. My wonderful mother and I are driving from Portland, OR to Stockbridge, MA. So... I'll be out of it for a while.

HOWEVER, As I am smart and hear your collective complaining about my absence, I've planned ahead. Here is today's roundup, as well as at least one bonus post. Fret not, I'll be back with vengeance when I move into my new place. I almost promise.

Presented without comment.

Presented without comment.

Presented without comment.

I will comment if someone buys this for me.

Probably correct.

I'm on a meme kick. Sorry.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTS?!

Pure truth.

At least school would have been easier.

This shit is why you read this blog. I know it is.

Another Dame to Keep an Eye On

Greetings, quarter pounders with cheese!

A short and sweet update today, as I find myself craving the worst of the worst of the fast of the food. I'd like to share the writings of one of the classiest ladies I've ever known (and I don't care if you're a born and bred nerd or a freakin' cheerleader; class is ALWAYS necessary); like seriously, I saw here wearing some sort of a fur stole the other night and she actually wasn't playing dress-up. Not to mention, she's a talented writer to boot, and her stories are darkly funny and often insightful. Presenting: The Infamous Coat Check Girl.

Read and enjoy. Later, gators!

My New Internet Girlfriend

Greetings, cat people!

Presenting candidate number two for my new internet girlfriend (candidate number one is somewhere further down the page). This is her eHarmony submission (but not really), and the video pretty much says it all.

But wait, it gets better! This video has been songified!

Credit, as usual, goes to (the curious case of) Mr. Muffin.

Lame Roundup

Greetings follower-bodies!

It's roundup day. Sorry it is so late, and that I've been so remiss in my duties. Soon, I promise, I will make it up to you. Until then...

I want these so bad.

I can't stop. I am so sorry.

This is hilarious.

BAHAHA

Best.

I will purchase everything they sell, seriously. All the shirts will belong to me.



This is hilarious. And also true.

Based on this my ideal match might be Thor. Shit.

Why yes I will take this Arrested Development version of clue.

That is all.

Everybody loves a T-Shirt post!

Greetings, naked people!

So if you're like me, you have approximately 19,000 t-shirts, from various places and saluting various thing. [doesn't stop me from wearing the same one over and over, though!] Ah, the t-shirt...so simple, yet so sophisticated. So classic, yet so modern. [wash off that mustard stain, fool!] So, you can imagine my delight whenever I come across some cool-as-shit t-shirts and immediately order one of everything.

Out of Print designs is featuring some sweet-ass literary shirts; emblazoned with some classic book titles on vintage-looking threads, and quite frankly, most would need to do a double take to know the shirts were featuring book titles cause they also just look pretty cool on their own. ["whatchoo mean, 1984? that aint the year it be!"] AND they feature women's cuts, SQUEEEEEEE!

[some of my favorites]

GO BUY THEM ALL!

Roundups are boring.

But I WILL KEEP ROUNDING UP ANYWAYS!

Miss Lulu informs me my massive picture and video logged posts are making our blog load slowly. THEREFORE, a cut is in order.

So here is a teaser:


Two of the most bad-ass video game chicks.

If you don't make the jump, all the unicorns will die.

Greetings, sexy people!

Two things to look forward to this month, if you happen to be on the west coast. [Which, sadly, Felix is not. Come home!]

The first is a super amazing art show, taking place in LA beginning August 11th [today!!], the legendary iam8bit. [As you can imagine, we here at 8bit Runway are quite fond of the name.]


iam8bit is a company that wears a lot of different hats; they do promotions as well as providing consulting services and the like. [also, iam8bit has been affiliated with Bethesda Softworks, so I'm already working on my marriage proposal.] They've been doing this show on a yearly basis, to celebrate old-school video game nostalgia; here's a blurb [is that a word?] from their website:

Over 100 artists will reimagine their 80's gaming fantasies, delusions and secret desires via all sorts of media - painting, sculpture, plush, and even some more interactive experimentation. Highlights include:

*A special tribute to Galaga's 30th anniversary featuring the world's largest "arcade cabinet"
* The transformation of the entire gallery into an 80's gaming wonderland by designer decal collective BLIK
*An interactive, "retro-fied" Kinect hack from Double Fine super-artist Drew Skillman
*And much, much more!

Unfortunately, LA is a bit of a commute for Little Portland Lulu, but if someone is down to let me borrow their jetpack, you can bet your sweet Goombas I'll be there.

The other mega awesome thing that is actually happening IN Portland [so you know I'm not talking about PAX and that I actually get to go] is coming up on August 24th at Lola's Room; The Protomen are coming to town! The Protomen are a little hard to explain; they're sort of like a Megaman tribute band, but they're also sort of a rock opera, sort of Les Miserables for nerds, sort of the best fucking thing that has ever existed. Their act is based on the first six Megaman games on the NES released by Capcom. While Megaman has an existing storyline going across the manga, cartoon and [duh] video games, the band looks at it as more of a "jumping off point" [says the Wikipedia article], and has created a dystopian epic. Also, Dr Light's singing voice, jesus christ. IS THAT YOU, JEAN VALJEAN?

I'll see you there! Their songs are available on Amazon, and also through their website for smooth groovin'. I highly recommend checking out the lyrics either first or while you listen through, as it makes it a little easier to follow the storyline, and often includes stage direction/plot points, which is especially nice if you're a little fuzzy on your MegaHistory.

Laziest roundup ever.

Please enjoy today's roundup.

Disney Princess Nostalgia

Greetings, weirdos!

Remember all of your favorite Disney princesses from back in the day? One of the best parts of geek culture is nostalgia, and what better way to embrace that than by taking something from your childhood, raping it, and then putting it on the internet?

Just kidding, this is amazing.

Check out the series "When The Fairy Tale Ends, Real Life Begins," by Dina Goldstein. These are a couple years old, but definitely worth a second look.

the "Felix is Lazy" round up

I'm mostly lazy because I spent last week working (on an amazing play with some amazing people), and beating Portal 2. Yes, I almost cried when the singing happened. No, I don't want to talk about it [now]. Here is a lazy roundup. Some cute, some Futurama and some other stuff, too.

ALSO LOOK WHAT FINALLY CAME FROM HONG CONG:

Clearly I am the coolest of the nerd-ladies.

Buy these here.

I already bought these here because how could I not?

I don't need to caption this, your reaction is the same as mine, no matter who you are.

All hail... Zoidberg?!

+d12 cool points to whoever made this.

BENDER!?

So. Good.

It's true.

Not our boyfriends, they'd have to know the real names.

Watch this to have nightmares for decades:

The aforementioned upcoming things we mentioned afore (...is that right? fuck it, it is now) are still in the works. We're just busy/slow/without great internet/lazy/bitches. Pick one.

Ladies for you to Lurk!

Greetings, anyone!

In exploring the dark recesses of the internet, there are plenty of other awesome ladies out there, and I'd like to take a post to showcase some of the youtube channels that I've been enjoying. Because seriously, whats nerdier than making a webseries?
...making a blog...

ANYWAY...without further ado, check out links to the channels and bits of info under the cut, cause I don't want your computer to blow up due to all of the awesomeness loading up on top of all of the other awesomeness that's already on the main page of the blog. See? That's courtesy. And you're welcome.

Do you know of any other channels or web series that we should check out featuring the ladies of the internet? Shoot me an e-mail and let me know, and we'll post 'em here! ...if we feel like it.

Nah, don't worry, we totally will!
if you're lucky.

On to some videos! Then I'll be going back to playing through Fallout 3 for the first time. I've made my character way too pale, so it looks like one of those creepy ghost babies from The Grudge is roaming around vault 101...oops.
