So I was watching “Sweeney Todd” yesterday, and for whatever reason, it reminded me of “The Evil Dead” musical, based off the “Evil Dead” trillogy, which is directed by the “Spiderman” dude. Anyway, it’s a musical worth looking at.
I mean, it’s not for little kids, and it has a lot of running gags that get on your nerves after the first hour, but the songs like “What The Fuck was That?” are very well done.
Hey Guys,
So my summer has finally started. Aside from meaning that there will only be one update a week, it means I’m free to do whatever. I’ve started reading George R.R. Martin’s “Wildcards” series, which is more science fiction than fantasy, but whatever. I’ll let you know how that turns out.
Also, “Harry Poter and the Halfblood Prince” comes out on July 15. I’m not sure I want to see that, but I’m sure I will see it. In my opinion, movies 1 and 2 were okay, 3 failed spectacularly, #4 was excellent, and #5? Worse than #3. Keep in mind that this is in regard to how well they conveyed the storyline, not the numbers at the box office.
Question: Does anyone know when they moved the relase of “Cabin Fever II: Spring Fever” and/or “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasis” to? I’m really looking forward to those.
Also, starting in August, I will be on Twitter. More details as that develops.
So I’ve been taking this class on the environment and sustainability, and we ended up watching this video. It’s worth your while. The only thing more contraversal than this is Sarah Palen.
When a friend told me I had warm hands, she mentioned something about dragons, and I thought she was saying I was one. As much as I like them, I’m not one of those freaks that runs around claiming to be a dragon in human form. She wasn’t talking me being a dragon, just having the characteristics of a dragon because (keeping in mind that she is wiccan) a dragon is myfamiliar. Knowing it was equivalent to a guardian, I was still unsure of the implecations (mostly by lack of definition), so I looked it up.
The familiar–similar to the concept of a jinni in Islam and the guardian angel of Christianity, a familiar is sometimes a servant or guide, usually but not always in the form of an animal. In the days of the witch hunts, anything but beating a dog to death was considered evidence of witchcraft. Then again, what wasn’t in those times?
So then the question was whether or not the dragon was actually my familiar. Since the concept was used in Philop Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” series, I figured that certain animals had certain interpretations. You know I didn’t find any? Well, there was the D&D interpretations, but that game lost all credibility with their attempt at a depiction of Tiamat. So I’m not really sure.
I am sure of one thing, I do lovedragons. If you do a search on WordPress, I have the most dragon-related posts. People always want to know why I love them; I have no real answer, and they just think I’m being an insincere prick when I tell them the truth. I’m not sure I want to know; the mystery is half the fu.
This post is dedicated to spreading the word about to musicians who are very popular in the Youtube community. I usually do them in fives, but these are the only two I’ve got so far, so I guess I’ll use them as a kickstart.
First is Tiffany Alvord This sixteen-year-old does various covers of pop songs–my favorite being “Last Christmas” by Wam–and always manages to put her own spin on things. She also writes her own songs and has over 20 fan sites. She is seemingly down to Earth, with a very friendly disposition.
Next is CJaye LeRose From Texas, this artist does primarily country music, and she’s very enthusiastic about her work. She also has fan pages, and is against cruelty to animals.
I urge you to please take the time to check out these artists. Like writers, being noticed is half the battle for them. When commenting, just remember if you can’t be nice, be vague. If you want to know how you can appear here, see the rules and guidelines below.
In other news, I’m considering starting a twitter, but not until late August or so because I won’t be around the net on a regular basis after this week.
There is a recent trend on Youtube, which involves hand gagging–the act of one placing their hand over another’s mouth. It is a normal occurrence in mystery stories, horror stories, etc., and now it’s on Youtube.
There are two types of videos that involve hand gagging. The first is a song guessing game: The video usually involves two girls, and one places her hand over the other’s mouth. The gaggee attempts to sing a song, and the viewers are supposed to guess the songs (there are multiple because the people alternate). Sounds almost harmless. But what purpose is it really serving?
Recently, a user named Lokoloss went around, searching for channels run by girls between the ages of eight and twenty-six, requesting that they help him with a “psychology” projject by making a video demonstrating the art of hand gagging.
Several girls, who will remain nameless and will not be cited here for the benefit of their dignity and protection, made the videos. However, one couple got suspicious when the deadline of the “project” kept getting pushed back to accommodate their schedules, so they did some checking, most likely via Google.
The result? Several online forums for people with a hand gagging feddish with the disclaimor that since hand gagging was not technically a sexual act, it is okay to watch minors doing it, hence the videos. Lokoloss was exposed in at least three videos, and has since fled Youtube.
The moral story? If you’re a girl between the ages of eight and twenty-six with a Youtube, be careful which requests you take. If you’re a parent with a daughter, inform, monitor, all that crime stopper stuff. Lokoloss is gone, but, like roaches, two more are born for everyone you kill.
Wow! It’s been awhile. I guess I could blame it on school, the weather, girl troubles, the lack of Rockstar in the drink machine, but it all comes down to one thing: It’s time to get off myass.
Let’s see… The last thing I remember was taking off the mask of the writer. This was followed by my diving into Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys (an excellent book), and the first draft of a short story. Anyway, I’ve been doing everything but this.
In other news, “Burn Notice” is back for its third season. It’s almost as good as before, or maybe some of the luster is just gone because we know who burned him now. The USA network’s new series, “Royal Pains”, is okay. It’s like if the people who wrote “House”, The Dresden Files, Graze Anatomy, Doc Hollywood and general hospital all got drunk together and wrote a show. I guess it’ll have to fill the void of “Supernatural” for a while, but it’ll never be able to replace “Monk”, which is going into its final season this summer. I’m not really sure how they’ll end it, I’m voting on one of those life-goes-on scinarios, like on Seinfeld and Frasier.
And something else. I found a program that allows you to make Youtube videos .mp3′s. You can find it It features a reasonable interface, and the ability to do multiple files at the same time. It just takes longer with the more stuff you slap on it.
And so, as I listen to the Dropkick Murphys due their rendition of “Black Velvet Band”, it’s time to wrap this thing up with the promise that, at least for the next few days, there will be regular updates.
So when I was out last night, before the incident with the hole in the floor, and we got to talking about my career. People think I should be a stand-up comedian, and I said I either wanted to be a Deejay or a writer. One of the friends I was with told me I couldn’t be a writer because I would go mad from being alone because I like people too much. I blew it off at the time, but I got to thinking about it today.
First of all, I only write if it’s an assignment. My last writing assignment was six months ago, and everything I’ve tried since then has been an epic fail. At first, I told myself that it was because I just needed a break, so I took a month off for Xmas. Then, I just said that the semester’s (last semester, the semester in which I was perfectly able to function without a computer, and got straight A’s) workload was too heavy. Then I reassured myself with the fact that a talking computer gets on my nerves. Finally, I just said I had no motivation, but that’s bullshit. If I really wanted it, I’d go for it.
So there it is, folks, put your clothes back on because the mask is off and the show is over. I’ll still blog, though, I like putting my ideas out there for people.
So I was at TGI Friday’s, and I had had a few beers. Now, anyone who drinks beer knows you can’t buy it, only rent it. So I went into the bathroom to do my necessary, and I’ve got my cane way out there because I don’t want any bodily contact with anything in that room. This is always a potential problem because if you’re a guy standing in a little cubical with it all hanging out, and you feel a long cyllendrical object poke you, what’re you gonna think?
So anyway, I had just bounced off the sink, which is in its own cubicle, and my foot slips in this hole. No big deal, but then I found the tank that’s on the back of urinals.
It’s like a bathroom in a foreign country. I guess it’s like a sure fire way not to miss, but it’s a bit of a safety hazard–the black hole of Earth. I kept thinking of Pennywise down there going, “Ha ha, asshole!” So it’s another air of shoes in the trash. There a biohazard now. We should use them when we invade North Korea. Just remember, it’ not a war, it’s a police action against the Red Terror. Whoever armegeddon would start with the yellow hole?
