Scandinavian pop crush du jour.

Say hello to Veronica Maggio, an adorable songstress from Sweden:

She's cute, no? Sort of like Amy Winehouse minus the crack and Christina Aguilera minus the nonstop melisma. But let's be honest with each other here—she's no Alphabeat.

And speaking of which, here's the video for "Boyfriend" again, because you can never, ever get enough of the 'Beat.

Would you like to see some awesome explosions?

This is what happens when fossil fuels start slappin'.


Perseids Meteor Shower

The Perseids Meteor Shower starts tonight (Aug. 12th at 2am) and will rain down meteoroids until August 22nd with the number of meteoroids quickly diminishing from 50-80 every hour to one an hour on the 22nd.

So grab a blanket, find a dark spot away from the city lights and enjoy the view.

Slow-motion lightning is the sexiest thing ever.

I couldn't find a way to embed this, so please click right here, right now. If you are somehow disappointed in having done so, you're a terrible person and I will never forgive your transgression.

You are sooooo welcome.

Dear Whedon geeks,

Remember a few years ago, when a little show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on the air? And there was talk about doing an animated version of the show? And that never happened? Well, here's the four-minute treatment they did to pitch the series, featuring the voices of Anthony Head, Nicholas Brendan and Allison Hannigan but not Sarah Michelle Gellar because she was WAAAY too busy reading terrible scripts. And yeah, you can sort of see why this thing was never made, although hearing the Scooby-in-library banter made me wipe a tear from the leaking eyes of my soul.

Oh, and Joss Whedon is reshooting the pilot of his new show, Dollhouse.

Friday chuckles.

I enjoy the program Dirty Jobs. I enjoy mainly because of host Mike Rowe, who entertains me deeply. But did you know Mike Rowe used to be a host on QVC? And that he was equally as hilarious? It's true—he's like the Craig Richardson of hawking Precious Moments figurines! Watch and enjoy.

And my favorite, in which Mr. Rowe tells us, "There is precious little cherubical information."
