apartment therapy itemizes lisbeth salander’s ikea shopping spree from stieg larsson’s the girl who played with fire, a scene that was sadly shortened in the movie version to a quick shot of her ripping open some ikea boxes, which made it difficult to tell just what her end tables looked like. wonder no more.
now i just need someone to diagram all the different sandwiches everyone eats throughout the trilogy.
fountains of wayne’s “red dragon tattoo” was on a loop in my head pretty much non-stop throughout my reading of stieg larsson’s novel, so it’s only appropriate that someone with actual musical talent recorded the obvious parody. which they had recorded it a little more clearly, but whatever, i’m amused.
this is both the first zombie tie-in i think sounds funny enough to read and evidence of the fact that, truly, it REALLY NEEDS TO STOP.
Cee-Lo Green, “Fuck You.”
Favorite thing on the internet today, maybe all week!
This is awesome.
Another entry in my list of inappropriate-yet-irresistible songs to get stuck in my head at work.
attacker in your home? standing near your windowsill? never discount the defensive capability of a cactus to the groin. (via @awfullibrarybooks)
I’d like Julia Roberts more if she was a little less Julia Roberts.
Times of India: What is your take on Islamic fundamentalism and the rise of global terrorism?
Salman Rushdie: I’m against it.

i totally forgot to mention this, but a few weeks ago, i won internet kudos from publishers weekly, which are the best kind of kudos they hand out after starred reviews.
die green AND use your last moments on earth (well, above ground anyway) to affirm your book nerdery with a bookcase coffin! these are, surprisingly, available in a number of styles from a number of different sources, which just goes to show that truly, no idea is original, not even the creation of multiple-use coffins that you can enjoy before AND after death. i want one that functions as an HD TV with streaming netflix.
i went back in time to a month ago and posted this timely and amusing inception parody trailer.
