Okay..so things are slowly going back to normal over here.  Still crap to do, but it’s getting a little easier.  Hopefully I’ll start updating more regularly now.

This comic (Cat and Girl) is pretty much amazing:

Still swamped, but enjoy this little interview with Jason Segel.  Very funny man.

seriously…more regular after this week.  i’m dying with the work i have to do. ugh.

So your favorite book is the Bible, but you loovvvee lolcats!  What are you gonna do?!?!

Why not help with the lolcat Bible Translaion Project?  This site is basically doing what the title says.  People are translating the entire Bible into lolspeak.  61% of the thing is already translated, so if you want to help, you better click on that link now.

Just trust me. The game won’t take long at all. It’s really easy. You’ll have a lot of fun playing it. I found the end song amusing..maybe you will too.

I like Human Giant.  I haven’t seen much, but what I’ve seen is pretty funny.  Reading Paul Sheer’s blog (one of the sketch troupe’s members) yesterday, I came across this post and had to share.

We originally shot this piece for the pilot episode of Human GIant, but we could never get this sketch on the show because there was one executive who used to work with us that HATED the sketch (and us) so much that he wouldn’t let us air it under any circumstances.

You probably are assuming he had some good reasons not to like the piece, take a look at his notes. First off, he called the piece “Unrealistic.”

“It just doesn’t make any sense. Why would anyone use a hot air balloon to chase a criminal?”

That was a good point, then again he did buy into the fact that Aziz bought an astronaut costume at a thrift store, trained for space travel at an amusement park and then traveled to the moon to fight an astronaut, so I guess realism has some shades of gray or this guy led an insane life.

He also claimed that the police officer’s uniforms were totally unrealistic (which they were were) but he felt that would distract the audience from the overall story of piece. He might have been right if we were making the Departed, but I don’t think the lack of real uniforms are going to get you lost in the Labryinth of this sketch’s plot, it’s pretty straight forward, after you read the title you kinda get the idea.

Sadly the final insult came he stared at me an admitted that hated when people wore fake moustaches, he thought that was “Just stupid”.

Sadly,  I don’t think anyone ever let this guy in on the fact we were making a sketch comedy show. He probably thought we were the cast of Run’s House and he didn’t understand why the show got so broad.

Luckily this year that executive left the show, I think he’s moved to something more culturally refined, like the Flavor Flav sitcom on CW and we were left with really cool executives who let us have gay ghost sex, brutal stabbings, kiddie coffins, and plenty of moustaches.

Here’s the video they’re referring to:

Post’s will come sporadically over the next couple days…due to the fact that I have way too much work to do.  Boo.

In the meantime…can we figure out why Dimension Films has to remake Short Circuit?  I mean, they may be getting the same writers, but let’s be realistic.  They’re going to ruin this thing.  If there is any CGI in this remake, ANY AT ALL, I will refuse to watch.

This has been all over the music blog scene…but I’ll add my two cents.  Calvin Harris, one of those British(well he’s Scottish..) electro DJ singer types (think Hot Chip with a twist of LCD Soundsystem*…ish), apparently lost his laptop at Heathrow Airport.  Not that big a deal for a famous musician right?  He’ll just get a new one…who cares?  Well apparently this laptop was kinda special.  Special being the fact that Harris’ new album was on the computer’s hard drive.

Now, people will say…so he lost a copy.  Big deal…worst thing that can happen is someone will find it and leak it.  This is kind of true.  Someone could definitely find it and leak it on the internet.  If/when someone does, however, it will be the only place people will be able to get the album.  Harris made no backups..nothing.  Whoops!

I do feel sorry for the guy.  I enjoyed his first album and I don’t doubt I would’ve and will enjoy his second.  But come on.  Only one copy? You’ve put seven months of your life into this thing.  This thing that can easily be stored on multiple computers, flash drives, CDs, whatever (all of which he can personally keep if he’s worried about the album leaking).  Even if, for some odd reason, Harris had no choice and there was only one copy.  How could he leave it out of his sight, at an airport nonetheless?  Something doesn’t make sense here.

Maybe he was unhappy with his album.  Maybe he hadn’t even created an album yet.  Maybe he ‘lost’ his computer to pin the blame on the airport and not on the fact that he had been unable to produce a solid followup to I Created Disco.  Who knows (coonnssppirraccyyyy!).  All I know is that I was looking forward to a followup and I’m going to wait a lot longer for one now.  Boo.

*I am aware that LCD Soundsystem is an American band.  Just want to get that out there in case it sounded confusing.

Again, with the craze making a huge resurgence over the internet recently, I feel like this needs to be shared.

I can’t really stand all the videos, but I’m a fan of this one just cause of how it’s done.
