things I like this week, vol. 28


Amanda Fucking Palmer. With a keytar. And here's a lovely write-up of what she called a "ninja gig" at a record store.

. . .




Speaks for itself.

. . . 




I refuse to pay $200 for something I could make myself if my sewing machine worked, but her designs are lovely. Michelle is wearing an outfit of hers in the video above.

. . . 


A map of the wind.

. . .

It's so much better because it's in French.

. . . 



A craft. 

. . . 



Bukowski.

. . . 



It's Stonehenge as a bouncing castle, and it's called Sacrilege.

. . .
Lines from the Princess Bride that double as comments on Freshman Composition papers. 

. . . 




I hate covers that sound just like the original. It has to innovate, somehow.

. . . 


Totally remarkable testament to the perseverance of literacy. (via my lovely aunt)

. . . 

The new Norah Jones album is fucking awesome. And the mp3 download is five bucks on Amazon.

. . . 



Also in the interest of bargains, this is a 10 year Tempranillo. It was given 90 points by Wine Advocate. It tastes like a dream. And Costco is selling it for eight bucks.
