this online museum is a collection of illustrations of fantastical creatures. very cool, dark, sometimes disturbing – reminds me of something from the x-files.

i love this tortoise. i love how he gets in the cat’s tail over and over. i love how fast he moves on those itty bitty legs. love. him. sadly the author doesn’t allow video embedding, but you can see it here on youtube.
thanks to ellen for catching this for me – i’ve been in illinois for the past week and would definitely not have checked LAist otherwise. you can see my photo of the orpheum theatre featured in this LAist article and see my other photos of the orpheum here.
hilarious. and sad. because it’s all totally true.

go buy this now. it is amazing. why don’t i own venture bros. on dvd?? i don’t know! gah! i love this show!
update: i listened to this in the car and, no joke, i felt like frakking secret agent. great driving music to get you pumped for your day!
yay more green porno! the first installation (tab that reads ‘green porno 1’) was all about how insects reproduce, and the new series is about sea creatures, and is just as brilliant. like last time, the series rides the line between educational/clever and disturbingly inappropriate, e.g. a gallery of giant construction paper animal penises.
but again – it IS educational! and the sets and costumes are all handmade and amazing. be on the lookout for the dead limpet (you know it’s dead because it has ‘x’s over its eyes) and the great anglerfish costume. ‘whale’ is probably nsfw. ‘barnacle’ is questionable, but i’m pretty sure a casual observer will just think that giant pink thing is a tentacle. and not a barnacle penis.
the new trailer was shown in front of ‘i love you, man’ and OMG!!!!!!
i realize this is kind of inappropriate. and gross. but it’s also hilarious and oddly adorable. is that turtle actually making those noises??

via eric sent me the mcsweeney’s keeping up with the cardassians episode guide and it’s pretty fabulous.
while i’m thinking of it – ds9/bsg credits mashup. the first time i watched this a few years ago, i actually cried. that is how much i love both of these shows. …and also how pathetically nerdy i am.
