Sundry and various

Door #1

Being: A stop motion cardboard box race taking place in a university library.

Door #2

Being: A brief, briefly surreal ad about why you should adopt a dog.

Door #3

Being: An ad for ‘anti-gravity boots’. Accurate if the ‘anti-gravity’ involved is how people will smirk when they see you wearing these…

Door #4

Being: A man sets up a neighborhood speed trap with a hair dryer, and records the results. I should have seen the punch line coming.

Door #5

Being: Further proof that a picture is worth a thousand words. You don’t need to speak German to ‘get’ this site.

Door #6

Being: Johann Lipowicz deconstructing a Paul Young song in mime. A lot funnier than it sounds, especially around 3:09.

Door #7

Being: How Australians deal with stupid tourist questions with joie de vivre.

Ow-iest moments in sports

For most of these shots, I was ducking into my chair and wincing.  Ow ow ow.

Don’t assume the best shots are all at the beginning,  there are corkers all the way through.

I FORGOT TO PUT THE KEY BACK in the car last night.  I guess I am still needing to work on my manners.  When I ran downstairs to let the next guy have the car I saw the most gorgeous man I’ve seen in years.  Like, every guy I’ve ever had a crush on, and Tom Baker too.  Swoon.  And of course I had to apologize to him.  Hope I see that one again, when he loomed up out of the fog I thought my heart would stop.

Tom and Peggy fed me and the hordes Sunday dinner. Roast pork, salad and taters and corn, and I helped with salad.

I forgot to mention I ran into the gals who run Laff Riot Girls when I was brunching with Katie C on Saturday.  And then a pedicure – Katie’s new job involves a lot of standing and I felt like babying her.
Off to work soon…..

Nurd Gurl goes POSTAL MEDIA

So all together, film fans!!!  If you ever see me use this expression – “Masterpiece of Narrative Subversion“ please know that I mean this movie makes no $#%$ing sense.  I mean, I enjoyed Aqua Teen Hunger Force because it contains one of the most hilarious appeals to the audience I’ve ever viewed (warning, screener), but otherwise the movie’s a cataclysm of pointlessness.  On the other hand, part of refining one’s taste is being exposed to oddball stuff once in a while, which this definitely was.  Any movie which was quite popular and yet has no plot synopsis on imdb…. Warning Will Robinson, indeed, kids.  I enjoyed it, but more along the cultural artifact lines,  There were some very snappy one liners.
Much more enjoyable – the three episodes of Venture Brothers, which is a hipper than thou Jonny Quest.  The Scooby Doo parody was pure evil.  I heart Brock Samson, voiced by clean green actor Patrick Warburton.
Add pizza and beer to a date which included the foregoing and I had a very pleasant evening.  After my ride home (and thank god, it was POURING bloody rain), I dreamed that somebody I’ve wanted to have sex with for about ten years jumped on me, and I said, “Jeez, I’d love to, but we can’t because of ” here insert extremely rational, sane, non-dreamlike reason.  Then we put our clothes back on.  I’m consoling myself that at least I got to see him naked.  GRRRRRR.  This thing inside my skull that wants me to be a better person is now in my dreams as well!!!! I demand a neuronal recount.

Much thanks to Cousin Gerald, who found this piclink for me.  I entitle it “Luckier than the Average Bear”.

All this and alcohol too.

And now for something completely different….

Annie Liebowitz is a genius.
