A fun game:
Watch this and then watch this.
Kept me laughing all day.

A meeting that produced two funny bits?Is it possible?
“Is that something we can do post-beta?”
“It’s something I can do post-lunch if you want me to.”
*zing!*
“Some of the graphics might trickle in.”
“Trickle-down graphic design?”
“Is that Reagangraphics?”
*za-pow!*
Chaoskid — at the movies!
First of all, I saw The Transporter this weekend. A decent movie — pretty much exactly what I expected. Jason Statham is a badass driver-man for whoever’s got the money. No questions asked, of course. Three rules that he lives by: once the deal is made, it’s non-negotiable, no names, and never open the package. Of course, all three rules get broken during the course of the movie (to humorous results, ha ha!) Despite its absolute corniness, which didn’t really bother me like it did in Signs. Here I was expecting it, with Signs, I was completely shocked. Just goes to show you that it’s all about your preconceived notions….
Not much to say about that. But:
A preview for Extreme Ops left Sean and me laughing hysterically. I usually hate it when people say “I can’t believe they made that movie!” or “They’re making a sequel to Breakfast Club?” because there’s no point in being dramatically shocked by what Hollywood’s doing. The moviemakers have shown time and time again that they’ll make a sequel to anything if they think there’s a dollar in it. Extreme Ops made me question even the sanity of that…. This movie is amazing — 6 “insane” extreme sports enthusiasts meet in some remote tundra in an abandoned hotel to film a commercial. Unbeknownst to them, a few terrorists have hidden among the crew. Now it’s up to the extreme heroes to put a stop to their dastardly deed. I’m not kidding here. Most dramatic moment: some guy’s snowboard gets shot in half. “Oh no — my board!” Funniest moment: “That’s why snowboarding’s better than skiing.” In your face skiers of the world! Woo hah!
Second worst premise ever:
Miss Perfect teenage girl pisses off the local stereotypical freak/witch/goth girl who places a curse on her. The next morning she wakes up as…. Rob Schneider! Now Rob has to find a way to turn back into a high school cheerleader, deal with (undoubtedly) humorous sexual issues and defeat terrorists or something. I’m not sure — I stopped paying attention at that point.
Kiefer Sutherland, what have you done?
Poor Kiefer, he’s the victim of the worst timing of any of us. Last year, his show 24 was pushed back due to some plane-blowing-up content. Now, his return to the big screen is sullied just because of some silly serial sniper. Phone Booth isn’t coming out for a while thanks to Washington DC’s latest craze…. What’s the world coming to, Kiefer?
Oh yeah — good morning, suckers.
The other day, Jason and I were going to lunch and as we walked, i looked up and noticed what appeared to be two circles of jet contrail — nearly perfect circles. One extremely large, the other extremely small. The small circle was centered on one point of the circumfrence of the large circle. Like crop circles in the sky…. Creepy, cool, terrifying, all in one….

I’ve reached a point where I feel like I’ve gotten everything done that I’m going to get done today. A terrible point. How do I fill the final two hours of the day? There’s more work to be done….okay, do it.
Been thinking about that crazy DC sniper business:
* Recently I’d been thinking about how we as a people hadn’t experienced the kind of fear of going outside in ages — not since the Son of Sam…. The aftermath of September 11th aside, community terror hasn’t really been present in quite some time. And now this. People scared to go out and do their business.
* Wondering what kind of moment it is for this guy every time he pulls the trigger. Playing tons of Hitman 2 lately, using a sniper rifle, knowing virtually what it’s like to virtually scope someone out…. But still, it’s nothing close.
* October 3rd, the guy aces 4 people in an hour. That’s a fricking spree.
* What’s the difference between a mass murderer and a serial killer? What’s the difference between an epileptic corn husker and a hooker with diarrhea?
Oh, too much.
Just think about how funny “Oops, my shirt fell off!” is….
…on so many freaking levels.
The Death of Language
That’s right! Language is dead! You people murdered it! Now go hang your heads in shame. That’s right, in SHAAAAAAAME.
once again, i’m struck by how easily one can forget
closerlook,inc. knows all about thought leadership.
but i’d be hard pressed to give you a definition….
so tired. so something….think i ate a bad sandwich. terrible taste in my mouth. let’s keep on finding things to bitch about….my eyes hurt. there’s soooo much noise.
the thing of it is…. eh, who knows what the -thing- of it is.
the crunching, the pounding, the constant run-around-ing the mess of the mistrust the platitudes and disgust, i’ve never been clever but if you stop to think about it i’ve always been certain and i would never doubt it.
I don’t want to seem like a monster, but I do have to take issue with this article in which a student was arrested for posession of child pornography….
A resident assistant said another student was looking around their network for music files and stumbled across the child pornogrpahy, told the RA and the RA called the cops.
This student that was looking for music files (and we’ll assume that’s true — though it’s very likely that the student was looking for pornography — the directory was undoubtedly labeled “PORN” and .jpg files are very different from .mp3 files….) was about to commit a crime anyway. Here’s a kid snooping through shared directories for ripped music, telling on someone for something they’re doing wrong.
(YES, I know child pornography is a MUCH worse crime than stealing music. It’s despicable and disgusting….. The point is….well, the point is that you can figure out the real circumstances, and see that the whole story is kind of a big crock…..)
The Daily Evergreen is a bastion of good journalism. Just take a look at this article and you can see what I mean….
