Ah-ha!
My two loves combined into one fantastic strip!!
Update! Here’s another one I found:
XKCD: A Webcomic →
Speaking about comics, I found this website a few months ago via Dark Roasted Blend,and found it to be profoundly poignant and heartfelt. It mixes the personal need for love and companionship with existentialism and philosophy. The simple artwork can be a turn off for some, including Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw in his brief rant about Webcomics.
In contrast, I really enjoy the simplicity...
Graphic Novels and the Need for Self-Deprecation.
I don’t remember exactly what turned me on to graphic novels…it might have been the beginning of the summer when I read “Blankets” by Craig Thompson. It’s Ben’s and he had left it lying around the house so I picked it up and read it from start to finish in one sitting, which actually only took an hour. It wasn’t the best story, kind of boring and too...
Top 10 Albums of 2008
In light of my friend Erin taking the initiative to create her own Top 10 Albums of 2008, I have also decided that I needed my own list. Granted, we have very similar music taste but you would be surprised at how different our lists are. Here goes:

Another great electronic-glitch artist whom I have recently fallen in love with. Those Scandinavians with their...
Top 10 Albums of 2008...cont'd
Thanks tumblr for sucking a massive [expletive deleted]. The top 3 can’t fit in one post so here they are:
3. MICHNA “MAGIC MONDAY”

More fellow radio friends, Ben and Pat. Found this gem again from when WRUV moved from the old station in the Billings Center to the first floor of the Death Star over a year ago.
3:29 am and I can't sleep...so I started typing in...
It is mid-December during my senior year at UVM and I only have one more semester to go before I’m done with school forever. Thank christ…college is cool and all but fuck, it’s exhausting. I don’t care enough about any subject to focus on it long enough to write a paper well enough that the professor doesn’t have to send me frightened emails about me never going near...

Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw is this hilarious British video game reviewer on the Escapist Magazine website, and my god, he is good. I don’t play many video games other than Tomb Raider, GTA and Katamari, but his reviews are quick-witted and extremely entertaining.
here is my favorite, i’m sure you’ll see why.
