Thanks Mr Annoymous Props go out for the fine new Reading is Fun entry, "Rascal".
The Five Stages of Unemployment Hey, here is an online version of the fun movie "The Five Stages of Unemployment". Dan is a guy we know in Wilmington who is funny and foxy. If you have 5 minutes (and I know you do) watch it. Here's the main page if that link doesn't work Dan Turek: Funny Man.
Please pirate Celine Dion's new CD Ack. Apart from the pain of actually seeing her name on my website, it seems like the new Celine album uses that fun copyright protection stuff that we all love. The fun part is if you play it on an IMac, the cd busts it up and you have to take it to the shop. See this: Celine Dion kills iMacs! Here is a current list of "artists" who use this technology on their new releases.
Damn Recording Industry the f*cked up thing about all this is that some of these "cds" don't work on DVD players either. WTF!? I have been planning one day to buy a multidisc DVD player to replace our cd player in the living room. Not that I want to listen to Celine, but what if this whole thing becomes a big trend and I end up with a player that won't play any new releases. You know, that is when it gets personal and I start training in the ways of the deadly arts to seek revenge on the trouble-makers. Here is what you can expect from my "I am going to kill the recording industry training montage":
Background Music A rockin Frank Stallone song, with phrases like "reaching high" and "rockin hard"
List of scenes of things I will be doing:
Sweating, doing pushups
Shooting gun and missing target - looking frustrated
Running on empty and wet city street
Picking up hose, and drinking from it. Backlit with bright sun.
Using punching bag - final punch and I collapse, holding bag. So tired from training
Sitting cross-legged, doing some sort of meditation
Doing more pushups.
Shot of sweaty t-shirt sticking to slight beer gut
Running on the beach. Possibly passing women in bikinis. I turn my head as I pass, slide my sunglasses down my nose, and check them out.
Shooting gun, and finally hitting the target. Gun trainer guy is nodding and smiling.
Running down empty, wet city street. Passing truck driver honks horn and waves. That just makes me go harder. And faster.
Shooting gun. Bulls eye! Trainer guy cheers. I smile ever so slightly.
Shot of me running on beach. Sunset. Fade out.
Kitty! Check out these great pictures from a baseball game last night - a cat ran out on the field -1- -2-
Comic Book Store Guy As a kid, I never really 'got' comic books. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the kid who ate glue in my class, also read comic books. Instantly I was suspicious of them. Nonetheless, I do vaguely remember the goofy Hostess / Super hero comic advertisements, and Mrs. Robot found a whole collection on seanbaby.com Each comic has a review from their staff.
Also, check out this movie. It's a 'Super Friends' episode where they battle with THE ROCK AND ROLL SPACE BANDITS. I hate-hated those damn twins - and they suck-suck in this episode, too.
NY BLOGs Our friend Liz and her new partner in crime from ishbadiddle are working on a cool NYC Blog Collection page. I saw a sneak preview last night, and it looks dope. And fly.
