Lisbeth Salander's two great loves: computer hacking and Ikea

Lisbeth Salander's two great loves: computer hacking and Ikea:

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)

Can't look away. Can't. Look. Away.

I’d like Julia Roberts more if she was a little less Julia Roberts.

Salman Rushdie surprisingly unsupportive of Islamic extremism

Times of India: What is your take on Islamic fundamentalism and the rise of global terrorism?

Salman Rushdie: I’m against it.

This has been your “no fucking shit” moment for the day.

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.

at least three times i have seen this magazine out of the corner of my eye and thought it had justin bieber on the cover. or, as i saw him referred to recently, “adorable lesbian justin bieber.”

for the book nerd in your life: a customized, shelf-like painting of the spines of their favorite books. deciding which titles to immortalize on canvas would be next to impossible. the artist has dozens of examples on her blog (click through); judging her customers is fun. like who includes “the shack” on that list and how can i best avoid talking to them at a party? assuming i am ever invited to one?

they should really run these things past a group of 7th graders before they approve them, just to make sure they aren’t missing anything dirty.

speaking of cats. this is probably only funny if you have one and have given it catnip. i probably would not have paired it with the weird porno soundtrack though.

cat vs. shark. if i started a cattoo blog, this would be my first entry. there would only be about 15 of them, because after a week or two, you are probably going to run out of cattoos. i mean, come on. i read an article about this like two years ago, and apparently it can cost like $10,000 to do this to your pet, your pet who sometimes gets poop stuck in the fur around his butt.

“The Snuggie Sutra is like the Kama Sutra, only with Snuggies. It’s an illustrated guide to sexual positions that are both erotic and warm.” say no more.
