behold, in all its glory….
24 inches of SOF’ BOY!

it’s fancy, with a hefty $130 pricetag and limited edition status (only 200 pieces total). the last thing i need is another “collectible” or “toy,” especially since i’m so over it (and by “it” i mean boutique vinyl bullshit).

BUT, it’s so purdy, it practically glows! sof’ boy is one of my all-time favorite characters, created by one of my all-time favorite artists/musicians/ubertalented folks – archer prewitt. the charmingly repulsive (and vice versa) comic series details the rambunctious adventures of a happy-go-lucky lovable blob who’s got shit luck, and always manages to elicit maniacal laughing from yours truly. sadly, it’s created at an agonizing slow-as-molasses pace (i believe there are only three or four issues total).

back to the topic of toys, there’s more…12 inch versions of the coctails. can’t say i’m a huge fan of the way these look, but that’s okay. archer designed them, so that’s all that matters.

and because i am a geek of the highest order, i thought i’d take a moment to celebrate my love for sof’ boy, archer, and the sea + cake with this unabashed moment of glee:

man, i forgot how good this sparklehorse album is.

after hearing one of its songs online, i’m jonesin’ to get home, dig up the album, and get reacquainted with it as i crawl under the covers.

also, for some amusing (and somewhat disturbing) reading, check out the comments (49 and going on strong) on this article about the china airlines debacle earlier this week.

saw casino royale last night, FINALLY. the opening song – a piece of anti-harmonious crap by chris cornell (WHY?!) – threw me for a loop and turned me off. however, the movie redeemed itself. also, it made me realize how wrong i was about eva green. there is an indisputable hotness there…one that wasn’t evident in the dreamers.

i’m hella tired today, and my teeth hurt.

this girl is sorta my hero.
