Coverville
Twice-weekly podcast of themed collections of cover versions of songs. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER?
Things that are ace about it: 1) The whole songs are played without being talked over. 2) Even if you don’t know the originals, you get a mixed bag of styles of music, and will discover new artists 3) The iTunes version syncs program notes and artwork to your iPhone and uses chapters so you can skip dreadful songs. In summary: AMAZINGNESS!

There is nothing I do not love about this photo — not least the look on Youk’s face!

Formal Animal Portraits
I saw these prints, and had to have some. Animals in formal wear? Oh yes! For I am nothing, if not formal.
It took a lot of effort to winnow down my choices from the huge selection, but I eventually went with t-rex, elephant, tiger, and goat. (The goat was a given, because goats eating things? ARE COMEDY GOLD!)
