New Kidney on the Block!

Yes, '90s pop artists can make dreams come true.

To honor Bobbette and her extraordinary kidney donor, as well as the man who brought them together, let's all sing this one out loud: (in this case, the right stuff was a spare kidney and a large twitter following!)

Best Colbert Clip Ever

Just. Plain. Incredible.

New Theory

Take a look at this picture.

Ok, now think about this: Prince Harry is the Logan Echolls of the British Royalty.

Look at the sarcastic dissatisfaction in which he rides that horse.

Did I just blow your mind?

HP7:P2 Trailer Oot!!

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 trailer is oot! (I like saying oot instead of out because Canadians are funny. They are also irrelevant to this post.) Wow. It really looks incredible. Watch it!

Badass Apple HD trailer available here. Actually, yeah just go to the Apple trailer because it's way better than my embed.

SPOILER(S) ALERT! (my thoughts, feelings, reactions)

I love all the glimpses at the Snape memories. They look off-kilter, a little disturbing, but also beautiful and nostalgic - and that's from about five frames alone!

That "Harry throwing himself and Voldy off the tower" thing seems a bit odd, but maybe it will work in context?

Love the hint at the Bellatrix vs. Molly duel!

Everybody's dying!!! I feel like they show a ton of the deaths in this trailer, but really you'd only know who/what is going on if you've read the books so it's not really that spoiler-y. (Of course me talking about it is, though, but if you didn't want spoilers you shouldn't have kept reading!)

On that note - Freeeeeeeeddddd!!

Overall the look feels nostalgic (I can't believe it's almost over!) and magical (Wands! Pretty floating things! Dragons!) like always, but also super gritty, action-packed, and dramatic to show that we're not just dealing with Harry Potter anymore - now we've got Harry F**king Potter.

And I'm ready to join the fight.

Life in a Day Trailer

Wow, this looks really darn awesome.

Anyone else as excited as I am?

A Bitter, Not So Green Apple

From Treehugger, I guess Apple really isn't that green after all.

Just kidding! I always knew they weren't green at all (in fact, they were recently labeled the worst polluters in the tech industry), but maybe now you do, too!

Kidney Transplants: Doing Pretty Ok!

Good kidney news today: A new report in Eureka Alert shows that chronic rejection (the slow process of scarring that sometimes occurs in kidney transplants over the course of many years and can lead to the loss of the graft) is less prevalent now than ever.

This is great news for people who are otherwise healthy like me! The main threat to losing the kidney after the first year or so is through chronic rejection, so here's hoping that's not affecting me and I can keep this puppy for at least 40+ years. Right? I sure hope so!
