The appropriate response to a fan theory you like should be “That would be pretty cool.” Not “HEADCANON ACCEPTED.”
I’ll tell you why.

A thing that was said. Microsoft is great at PR.
(via krudman)Oh good, turns out they CAN be more shit at PR.
Xbox One won't let indies self-publish
I don’t even have the words for all the bad things I keep reading. One thing after another after another.
Earlier today I was considering that I might sill possibly pick up an Xbox One at some point down the line.
That consideration has just evaporated entirely.
Celebrating 20 Videos of Mickey & Jermaine!!! Check out the new sketch, and please share!
I know this seems like a joke but this literally is the gist of what happened today.

I think I’ve found my second regular open mic.
Most Thursdays since October I’ve sauntered over to the Coffee Bean at Ventura & Woodley for Soapbox Sessions, an open mic for comics, poets and musicians. It was my very first open mic, and there’s a great sense of community there. It’s wonderful. I’ve made great friends like Cara, Adam and Courtney, and I look forward to it every week.
Today I decided to finally spread my wings a little and I attended an open mic at the Cahuenga General Store in North Hollywood. I performed at the end of the night, and did what I think may well be my best set at any open mic ever. It was the end of the night so the crowd was much smaller, but I got a fantastic response. I tried out some new material, dusted off some older stuff, and felt confident enough up there to experiment a little.
I had a fantastic time, and I will definitely be going back next week.
For anyone interested in going to the Cahuenga General Store’s open mic, there’s a $7 fee for performers.That’s about $2 more than some of the other open mics I’ve been to, but you’re guaranteed a spot and what’s more the $7 can be put towards food and drink. Which is awesome. If you’re not performing there’s no fee.
It’s also mostly stand-up at the moment. For some reason they can’t legally have anybody perform music at the open mic until further notice. I’m not sure of the specifics but it seems like the assholes at BMI may be threatening to take the venue to court. Over people singing their own songs. Which… yeah. That’s fucking stupid, if true.
I’ll be there again next week. I hope to see you there.
Oh, and Adam recorded my set so depending on how shit I was I may be posting the video later this week.
I knew there was special Canada ice cream!
Could somebody translate the bottom description, please? I can’t read Canadian.
My French is a little rusty, but…
“A collision of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, toffee-coated fudge, white chocolate bits, something something spiders something fudge.”
So now when you do Alt + Reblog, the reblog symbol turns green, “explodes” and then disappears.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS KIDDING SOGMLASG

New song: How Hijinks Ensue
If you love the comic, I’m pretty sure you’ll like my song about it, “How Hijinks Ensue.”
For the uninitiated: Joel Watson, artist and writer for the webcomic “Hijinks Ensue,” asked for fan-art in honor of the comic’s six-year anniversary. If you’re not familiar with it, Hijinks Ensue involves a lot of rants of geekery, technology, and drawings of beards. I’m under-selling it, really, but it’s funny, I swear. Go read Joel’s comic and then listen to my song. And then keep doing both.
Star Trek Into Darkness: The Spoiler FAQ
This is an accurate depiction of my experience watching Star Trek Into Stupidity.
I liked it. :)
Me too. It had plot holes, but so did the last Star Trek film. So did the last few Star Trek films, in fact, and I still enjoyed those.
If I had to complain, I’d say that the “KHAAAN!!” moment did feel forced, but I loved the rest of the film around it.
