The year has barely started, and I’m excited for several things/events already.

The obvious ones are later in the year: Halloween 2011, new seasons of True Blood/Dexter/Walking Dead. I thought they all ended with a good bit of up-in-the-air-ness, which leaves me anticipating the upcoming series.

I’m going to be attending a stoner metal festival, RoadBurn in the Netherlands in April. Sunn_O))) is playing, and there’s a Godflesh reunion. Should be brutal.

Vincent and I are planning to attend Oktoberfest 2011. Who knows how evil THAT could turn out to be?

There’s plenty of metal. We’re going to see Immortal again in February. Hopefully I won’t get blackout drunk like last time.

Gonna be a good year.

This article is clearly a few months old, but holy shit look at those things!  I don’t have that many friends who love Dexter, so there’s really no reason for me to make these as there will be no one to celebrate  with, but make them I will.

Chances are, if you read this site, your desk/office/bedroom is already covered in this kind of shit.  Am I right?  We’re all the same, but that’s ok! Now here’s one more awesome stupid thing to add to your already horribly embarrassing collection of bric-a-brac.  This beautifully crafted, 2009 statue by the artist Showtime features our favorite real-life superhero.

Inspired by Dexter, designed by Spring Design and Art, this is a set of dinnerwear I think we can all agree is exactly what’s missing from our classy homes.  Just imagine when your friends come over for a steak appetizer, steak dinner, and steak cake desert and you serve them with THESE MOTHAFUCKAS.

At $60-$135 a pop for each plate, if you can afford this shit then you CAN’T afford not to have this shit.  Right?

After you’ve checked out the plates, there are other Dexter-inspired products as well.

Why are you keeping things like this from me?  What did I do to you?  Fuck you for not letting me have this.

HOLY SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED, Dexter Season 3 premiers tonight on Showtime. This has been without a doubt my favorite television series since Transformers. It is indeed that good.

I have been waiting in anticipation for this series to start back up again the millisecond after I finished the last episode of season 2, with my interest piqued even further by a very creative and innovative ad campaign that I saw throughout the transit system of New York City.

This page has a nice collection of all the covers featured in the ad.
