Search
I added search to the sidebar, because analytics told me someone was using site:viscousplatypus.net on Google. (Oh, yes. I saw you.)
It’s a value add!
Soup 1 or Soup 2
My boss is very funny.
me: instead of leaving in the previous soups of the week, or just leaving them blank, whoever prepared the sign for today just left “Soup 1″ and “Soup 2″ in earlier slots.
my boss: so, did you pick soup 1 or 2?
me: oh, today was chili or NE Clam Chowder.
me: yesterday I probably would have chosen #1.
me: because I like being #1.
my boss: “I’ll take what’s under lid #1, Chuck.”
me: “You’ve won…MINESTRONE.”
me: *flashing lights and bells*
Look, more videos!
Lazy blogging, I know.
Supergrass~Bad Blood from LaundroMatinee on Vimeo.
More people should listen to Supergrass. And, with the mustache, Gaz looks very Nick Cave.
There are many good videos of indie bands playing live at Laundro Matinee.
That is all.
Inauguration Day
I do not agree with Obama 100% on his policies. But 75-80% is a lot better than 0%. Welcome, President Obama.
If you don’t have a teevee or are at work, ReadWriteWeb has a list of places to watch the festivities streaming on the internets. Scroll down to “Where to Watch the Inauguration Online”: ReadWriteWeb Guide to Celebrating Inauguration Day
"If I Had a Heart" Addendum
Karin Dreijer Andersson (whose single off her first solo album appears a couple of posts ago) appears in an epic video for Röyksopp’s “What Else Is There?”
Interesting difference from her solo work and her work with her brother in The Knife: first time I’ve seen her without a mask or makeup.
According to Wikipedia, the woman in the video is a model named Marianne Schröder. Thwarted!
What Else Is There? from Röyksopp on Vimeo.
Video snapped up from Clayton Cubitt’s tumblog, Constant Siege (often NSFW). If you’re not familiar with Cubitt’s work, he is a fantastic photographer/filmographer.
Love. Love love love. Love.
I love You Look Nice Today. And I love this video by the YLNT gentlemen.

Baconbots
Thanks to a riveting exchange with @shanakimball, I have finally gotten the autotwitterbot attention I deserve.
