I've been offline since sunday thanks to the fine folks at panda internet security, who released a program so buggy that immediately upon install I am brought before the mighty BSoD to offer up my hard drive in ritual sacrifice. I wind up having to go into the registry and manually remove every trace of this program (that is ironically designed to prevent situations exactly like this) and during this process I deleted some windows file that makes internet work, and it can't be recovered, so it is backup,format, and reinstall time.
It's nice to be back, here's my favourite things from the internet that I missed while I was away:
1) attractive french modern dance students covered in glitter dancing to indie rock
I like this song a lot, but I lovelovelove french girls and glitter, which is why I had this on repeat for most of last week. The girl in the grey tank top who is more or less the lead is amazingly beautiful to me. She is ideal girlfriend material in every way I can think of. all I know about her is that she is into the arts, is amazingly beautiful in a very feminine way, and is either french or is in france. All of these things are 10 out of 10 and I love making myself feel lonely by watching this video of her.
2)comedy
Cat and Girl is usually either actually funny or admirably clever, this one is both.
also, Derek and Simon at Superdeluxe.com just keeps delivering, and the maria bamford show is really good too, even though sometimes it's not so much funny as it sad. her pug is adorable.
3) always knowing exactly where lindsay lohan is at all times and exactly what she is doing.
4) internet shopping is my new late night hobby. I don't actually buy much but I do spend a lot of time on b+h and tokyo flash, trying to decide between the many impractical but chic models they offer. this is the current leader, but I want to get 2 or 3 to match different outfits. I also want to get a flash for my camera and a telephoto lense, even though I know they won't make me any better a photographer.
