Month: January 2010

Some folks are following this blog via Facebook’s Netblog app which is awesome.  There are currently 12 of you out there right now.  If I get 20 “followers” I get access to stats information via Facebook.  Please, please if you’re reading the site and on Facebook, hook a brother up and click the “Follow This Blog” button.

Tell your friends and family too.  They don’t have to read it and it’s certainly no worse than the daily spam on Facebook about shooting Russian mob bosses, stupid lost cows, butt finger soup recipes, or a quiz that will tell you if you’re really a man or not (and what your personality type is to boot!).

 I just need 8 more people.

What if I gave away prizes?  OK.  The 20th  follower will receive… hey, that won’t work because then everyone will just wait to be #20 and no one will be #13-#19.  I need to think this through.  While I’m thinking, follow the blog.

I’m one of the most easily bored people I’ve ever met.  I have the attention span of a walnut and my interest level in any said activity wanes faster than an addict’s bankroll on buy one get one free crack ball day.  Does crack come in balls?  I don’t know.  I actually have no first hand knowledge of crack.  That’d be an easy explanation as to why my brain runs off the rails so often, but I just think my rails are different from everyone else’s.  Or perhaps they’re the same and I’ve just switched down a different track from the pack.  I suddenly want to go buy a model train set.  Woo-woo-buckaroo!  A cowboy themed train set apparently.  This opening paragraph is a great example of my lack of mental cohesion.

Anyway, listen.  So I was watching one of the greatest cinematic epic tales ever to be recorded in the annals (2 n’s ok, 1 n-gross) of history.  Of course I mean Kindergarten Cop.  Arnold’s finest work opposite some rug monsters that yielded such wonderful gems as “It’s not a tumor”, “How are you?”, “Yeah”, “Stop it!”, and “Who is your daddy and what does he do?”.  Through tears of giggliness, I noticed in one of the classroom scenes (I believe it was the one during the firedrill when the kid is happily dancing on the table yelling “I’m on fire! I’m on fire!”) that there was one of those old turny-crank handle versions of a pencil sharpener nailed to the wall by the door.  Boy did that bring back memories of wasting time as a very small Monty.

Sin City – 3 stories, 1 movie. Desaturated w/spot color intensity. Story narration slightly annoying. Filmed in fantastic style. FM rules!

I like the show 24.  I do.  I like Kiefer Sutherland.  I’ve enjoyed the past seven years of watching him run around shouting things like “There isn’t time!” and “How come all you guys gots machine guns and I’ve just gots this pistol!”.   It’s a fun show.   But I think it’s time to kill off Jack Bauer.

For six of the past eight years, Los Angeles has had a major terrorist attack in the show.  Assassination, nuclear bombs, bio weapons.  I think after 5 years of that, LA would have just moved.  For last season, they moved the target to Washington DC… which strangely looks just like LA with a digitally superimposed Washington Monument in each scene.  Apparently the producers think the Washington Monument is like the Mona Lisa’s eyes and it follows you like a puppy or something.  But it doesn’t matter where the bad guys are, Jack Bauer will go kill them and save the day… for most people.  Sometimes he’s late.  If you’re cast as an extra during the first 18 hours of the show… chances are you’re going to be a fatality.  You’re Jack’s motivation.  That’s why he’s so snarly.

As a rule, first time comments are held for review to thwart spam.  After someone has posted an approved comment, they can post to their heart’s content with no adult supervision.  A couple of comments were in “review limbo” this weekend because I didn’t spend much time on the site.  Two of them have been released, one has not.

That’s because it’s in Russian and I can’t tell if it’s spam or if there is a Russian out there generally interested in this site and has something to say about it.  This is what he or she wrote:

Моя история из жизни: мы как-то с мамой ехали в маршрутке,( мама спец по всем видам мяса на глаз определяет что это), на остановке залазит подвипывший мужик с куском свежака в одноразовом пакете. Едем. Маршрутка резко тормозит,мужик по инерции бежит вперед и пакет рвется ,оттуда выпадет свежак ,дальше мамины слова- ” Мужчина,у вас вымя выпало!” я медленно сползаю под сиденье , пассажиры ржут, мужик красный – выбегает на следующей остановке
