I've actually had a lot of fun news lately. Neat.

But first, an ad for the Peekaboo Home Pole Dancing Kit, only $99.95 USD! With a pole, instructional DVD, and book full of easy moves. If it's a bit out of your price range, don't worry! The Peekaboo Home Lap Dance Kit is only $9.99. (Both links are work safe and feature no actual pole dancers.)+

And now, adult swim news.

New series highlights:
Death Clock Metalocalypse – premiering in August, a comedy about the world's most popular heavy metal rock band, whose members leave devastation and chaos in their wake.
Frisky Dingo – premiering in September, supervillian Killface finds destroying the world a killjoy and his nemesis Awesome-X is equally ambivalent about stopping him.
Assy McGee – debuting in December, about a cop who tries to make things right in a city where crooks are raging and City Hall is soft on crime.
Saul of the Mole Man – late 2006, a terra-naut, during an expedition to the Earth's core, finds a strange civilization of Mole Men and almost destroys it. This show combines live action puppets and animation.
Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil – late 2006, since Lucy's dad is Satan, he constantly meddles in her life, particularly when she starts dating a guy who could be the Second Coming.

Acquired anime programs:
Eureka Seven – debuts April 15, Renton, who lives in a world where an extreme form of hoverboarding is common, is captivated by a mysterious girl named Eureka.
Bleach – debuts in the fall, Ichigo Kurosaki, an average 15-year old who can see ghosts, becomes a Soul Reaper after his family is attacked by a Hollow, a malevolent lost soul.
InuYasha – debuts in September, the adventures of a human girl, Kagome and a half-demon, InuYasha, set in feudal Japan.(Maybe they mean NEW EPISODES start in September? WTF, as.)

Pilots in development:
Korgoth of Barbaria – pilot airs in September, the future is a dark, wasteland with no cities and where primitive beasts have claimed the earth and thieves abound in dirty towns.
That Crook'd 'Sip – pilot airs this fall, the Beauregard family and their decaying Mississippi mansion represent the Old South, and in contrast a new modern Dirty South populates the area around them.

Returning series to Adult Swim include Robot Chicken, Family Guy, Tom Goes to The Mayor, The Venture Bros., Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 12oz. Mouse, Squidbillies, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

Says nothing of Moral Orel, though it doesn't mention the Boondocks either, and we know that's coming back already. Rather depressed that TGttM is returning, as it is the worst show ever created.

It's like the seventies are back baby, and I'm trippin out

Dave, who has been growing a beard for the past few weeks, shaved himself a Fu Manchu mustache this morning.

A guy in programming came in with an eyepatch.

I'm currently trying to get them to don bellbottoms and have a kung-fu fight.

In which I commune with nature

Dear God, the Universe, and Everything,

Thanks.

As I walked back to work on this beautiful spring day, I am full of thank yous for everything.

Thank you for my boyfriend, who is super and wonderful and loving and who makes me breakfast in the mornings.

Thank you for my job, which allows me to take long lunch breaks on slow days. Thanks that it's in New York City, so I can walk to anything when it's nice out, and be awestruck with people and art and fashion and nature. Thank you that they let us dress like the lunatics we all are.

Thank you for cloudless sunny days with a light breeze.

Though I bitch about my roommates, thank you that I live in an apartment with great rent, and am not with my parents.

Thank you for my insane cats.

Thank you for Jamba Juice, though admittedly, could we get one a little closer to the office? I mean, there's like three on 23rd between 5th and 7th. Something along 14th between us and Union Square would be awesome.

Thank you for flowers and bodegas.

Thank you for Starbucks Caramel Apple Ciders on cold mornings.

Thank you for livejournal, so I can keep up on the minutae of my friends' lives.

Thanks,
Casey

PS. prettykate reminded me of one, which is: Even though I bitch about the hassle and the pain, thank you for my period because it means I've cheated pregnancy for another month!

If only I had heard someone else say it, it could go into OverheardNYC

zuppy28: We look like quite a pair today. My outfit says, "Fuck you!" and your outfit says "Fuck me!"

Dear Disney,

While I adore fish sticks, and Pirate Planks are pretty good, I really don't think branding your own bite-size fish popper things with The Little Mermaid and Flounder on the box is really sending the right message.

Love,
Casey

Dammit, I should've posted this earlier than 5:30 on a Friday.
