Socks Conundrum

I never know what to do with my old socks, it doesn’t feel right throwing them in the trash, and I know of no proper way of recycling them. For the last few years, I’ve been including my socks along with other clothing items I donate to the peeps at Goodwill. I feel awkward donating old socks, so I usually put them at the bottom of the bag, and I’ll place regular items on top to hide my shame. The guy who works at the donation center sorts the items into different piles. I’m sure when he comes across my socks he turns to his imaginary friend Hobo Pete and exclaims, “Get a load of this guy who donated old socks. What are we supposed to do, use them as pot holders or something? He’s craaazy…”

I want this too, but it’s 150 dollars.  It looks like he’s done a lot of work for Pixar. I basically want everything he did for Disney hanging on my wall.

The Muppet Movie - The entire film for your viewing pleasure…

The Good, The Bad, and The Weird

I really thought this movie was going to be dumb when I first heard about it, but this trailer looks exciting. The Good, The Bad, and The Weird is Korea’s take on the Spaghetti Western. My favorite Korean actor, Kang-ho Song, is in this movie as The Weird, and he’s never failed to entertain me with any of his previous movies, so I’m really looking forward to seeing it.

I always felt like I had too many graphic novels and comic books, but then I saw this photo. Now I feel like I have some catching up to do. Look at the top shelf to see what I mean. I even recognize most of those books up there just on their spine alone. What a nerd… (via apartmenttherapy)

I'm Not Going Bald.

We had hardwood floors put in a few years ago. The benefits include home value appreciation, low maintenance when compared to carpet, and it just looks good. What they don’t tell you about are the dust bunnies, and the bane of my existence, hair I’ve shed. Seeing all of the hair that accumulates on my bedroom floor makes me feel so sad. Oh, how I loathe it. I assure you though, I’m not going bald. In fact, my hair is so full and luscious that you should be jealous.

Flight of the Conchords - One Night Stand HBO Special

I put all of their songs from the special into a playlist, it’ll be like watching the real thing.
