Kirsten Dunst is Turning Japanese

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Something for Dwight’s “Art, Dammit, Art!” watch. Here’s Kirtsen Dunst dressed up as an anime character and signing The Vapor’s “Turning Japanese” in the middle of the Akihabara.

And here is, almost inevitably, Hitler’s reaction to Epic Beard Man’s fight. (Linked because the aspect ratio is too large for the WordPress theme.)

Wait, did I just link a video that combined a new viral Internet meme with yet another viral Internet meme?

Yes. Yes I did.

I think you’ll just have to come to grips with the possibility that I am, in fact, just plain evil.

Embrace the anachronism arachnoid mechanism.

Tim Conway is 76 today, so in honor of his birthday, yep, it’s the elephant story.

It never gets old.

Considering buying a video camera…

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Here’s the one I’m considering:

Anyone have any experience with it? Does anyone know if it fits on a regular tripod mount, or just the tiny little spider-thing they sell for it?
