i'm going to invent more durable glasses chains and test them on old ladies that dance HARD
ladies and germs
my apologies for my absence last week. to make it up to you, i present to you my favourite xkcd strip of all time. hope jou like it. also happy chinese new year.
i'm low on prose this week because i'm having a bit of a quirky anecdote dryspell. plus i got a tumblr recently and now my brain is starting to think exclusively in discrete video/photo posts and accompanying captions. i'm actually losing my capacity to have a complete, flowing train of thought. this may be issuous when it comes time to write up my thesis but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. or alternately, instead of crossing it, we will stop and watch several youtube videos, and post the best of them to my tumblr. god i want an iphone.
Point being, instead of my usual charming, witty banter, here are a series of links to stuff you should look at.
POLAR BEAR UPDATES
-remember that polar bear conservation roundtable i was telling you about? there's finally been a press release outlining what they talked about. except it's not so much outlining what they talked about as barfing a lot of vague bureaucratic fluff, as is true to the nature of press releases. but i think the gist of it is that the roundtable brought a lot of different bodies together (government, scientists, blah blah) so that they can now collaborate better. which is good.
NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL VIDEO
-a friend of mine showed me this video. ms paint minimalist steez at their finest.
TO ZION
-lauryn hill you are a goddess. not just a goddess, but the original goddess.
I SAW THIS MOVIE LAST NIGHT
-it's an open source documentary about copyright and remix culture and it's centered around the story of Girl Talk. It was amazing. I will be discussing it on the show today. make sure you tune in, i might actually have some keen insights. maybe. o_O
ok that's it for now.
cuddles,
Beaker&Honeydew

new year's resolution: the POLAR BEAR PROJECT
Listen up Planeteers!!!
As i mentioned during last week's episode, Beaker and Honeydew's new mission for 2009 - and I hope you all join me in this - is to SAVE THE POLAR BEARS!!!
Polar bears have been endangered since 2007 and are among the species that are most adversely affected by global warming.
There's a lot of great climate change sites out there that cover diverse topics and are updated really frequently and reliably so in addition to my usual antics and music-ish babble, I'm going to direct you guys towards interesting or useful articles and anybody who has ideas on how to take action, please comment your ideas to the blog. The most successful undertakings come out of interdisciplinary brainstorming and even small projects can make an impact so everybody please comment. THINK ABOUT THE BEARS. LOOK AT THIS ONE <--- OH GOD IT'S SO CUTE. Since this is the first week of the Polar Bear Project, here's a bit of background.
THE FACTS
-There are 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears worldwide, 4,700 of which live in Alaska and spend part of the year in Canada and Russia
THE PROBLEM
-the sea ice the polar bear depends on has been receding
-Northern latitudes are warming twice as rapidly as the rest of the globe, according to a 2004 scientific assessment
-The ice in Canada's western Hudson Bay breaks up 2 1/2 weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago, giving polar bears there less time to hunt and build up fat reserves that sustain them for eight months before hunting resumes
-U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials have concluded that polar bears could be endangered within 45 years.
Ok kids, let's get to it.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS | I LOVE YOU
This week's show wasn't actually very good. I've become entirely dependent on sean for fetching things and filling talk time. I feel overcome with the same sloth that defeated me when Spellcheck was first invented. and then again when they started canning chick peas in brine and i didn't have to soak them overnight anymore. i don't even know where i would start if i had to soak my chickpeas again. Sean you get back here you little Rat Face.
Now join me as a I list the series of events traversed in my journey to christmas-spirit restoration:
- i lost my wallet on the bus. shit.
- i called the bus depot and they had it, complete with the $1200 paycheck that was in it. yay!
- my boots don't keep water out. i have been elected mayor of WetSocksville, MA. shit.
- my roommate kate made turkey and i ate it. then we drank wine and made apple crumble and watched the muppet christmas carol (FEATURING BEAKER & HONEYDEW). yay!
- the little old man who found my wallet left me a merry xmas note with a phone #. i called and wished him happy holidays. HOW CUTE. yay!
- i listened to a lounge-y remix of hercules and love affair's blind that made me want to vomit a little onto the white vinyl kidney-shaped couch i'd have to be sitting on for that remix to be played in the first place. shit.
- i found the MY!GAY!HUSBAND! remix of THE MUPPET SHOW THEME SONG!! merry christmas hypemachine! yay!
Beaker and Honeydew is now on hiatus until the new year. everybody have a safe and wonderful holiday and we'll see you at 5 pm on THE FIRST TOOZDIE OF 2009!!!
LAWWWWWVE YOU
