Caner Dreams

Walgreens: $117

Eckerd: $115

CVS: $115

Sam’s Club: $15

Costco: $12

That is the pricing for a 90 pill prescription of the generic version of Prozac, as you can see Walgreens, CVS and the like charge A TON more for their version. Also you don't need a membership to use the Pharmacy at Costco or Sam's club [I didn't research but I think it's illegal to do so]. Also if you must go to one of the mega places go to Costco not Sam's club. Costco == good, Sam's Club == Walmart == well, you know.

This is the Billy Wilder an add-on piece created by the design group ding3000. It adds a much needed flair to the ubiquitous Billy Bookshelf from Ikea. Now the problem with this is the price, the basic Billy Bookshelf cost [in the US at least] 50 bucks. This add on is 199 euros!!! That's about 216 dollars! Maybe the price could be justified because they are using pricey materials, nope it's made of FOILED PARTICLEBOARD! I am so not down with that.

I can't wait to see this movie. It's about design and world visual culture explored through the typeface Helvetica. Of course there are no planned screenings in Chicago yet [there's a tentative one in Baltimore ferfuckssakes!]. Anyway, I'm even more excited about the sequel, Helvetica 2: The Fontening.

YaYa Chow is a Tiawanese born, mixed-media artist living in Los Angeles. She has made a gummi bear chandelier. I'm in love. I can't tell if they are Hairbo or not.

It's been a while since we've have any cryptozoology tales around here. Apparently the Honshu Wolf, aka the Japanese Wolf which was last seen in 1905 just went underground. I hope so I like the l'il fella and his long neck.

"Cancer cells were successfully targeted with anti-matter subatomic particles, causing intense biological damage leading to cell death."

If this doesn't sound like the origin story of every Marvel comic I don't know what does.

This guy, bob basset makes a lot of creepy things out of leather, masks and stuff. Here is what I think is the creepiest, his Cthulhu doll. If your next question is, "What the hell is a Cthulhu?!?!" go here.
