Blue Screen of Death Belt Buckle – Would you Rock it?

So? Would you? Let me know in the comments.

I stumbled upon this little gem (fifteen dollah hollah!) a few weeks ago while doing some research for a feature article about “the big business of nerd merch” for my business reporting class.

Due to the sheer volume of pure unbridled awesomeness available for purchase (and the fact that I interviewed about 8 different equally interesting superhumans) it turned into one Mastiff of a story.

I call it a Mastiff, of course, because it is gargantuan, sloppy and unusual, but delightfully fun to spend time with!

It’s not actually that huge – and after my professor takes care of some minor grooming, it won’t be sloppy anymore either, but I needed a clever way of throwing in a shoutout to Hercules, the world’s biggest dog.

Imagine owning a dog that weighs 282 pounds. I’m imagining it right now, and it’s BLOWING MY MIND!!!

In other blogworthiness…

- The Elle Canada Gala & New Label Competition is taking place the day before I move out of my place in London, and I’m so going anyways.

I wonder if I can get a press pass. Do “recently graduated journalism students with blogs” qualify as press? *sigh*

I need to get a legit journo-job. Fast.

-This crackhead freak talented Amy Winehouse lover is taking “fan art” to a whole new level (and inspiring me to take up the art of Lego Busting. Imagine how good say, Andy Samberg, would look in 8bit?):

(via Geekologie)

- And speaking of 8bit, If you haven’t seen Patrick Jean’s ‘Pixels’ yet, you need to watch it. Right now. I’ll wait.

That’s it for today, folks – I need to go study for my Media Theory Criticism Exam. I will be a happy girl when Monday is over, but until then… you can find me in the library sucking Chomsky and Habermas into my brain through my eyeballs.

Maybe I will sketch a picture to illustrate that later when it’s time for another procrastination break.

Love,
Lego’Nizzle.

OH! before it slips my mind – If you’re in London tonight and looking for something to do, come check out the rejected spring show at Moon Over Marin on Dundas. I’ll be walking for Dilly Daisy. Should be a good time
