New Job?

So I haven't posted in a while. Maybe you have and maybe you haven't noticed, but my latest moblog pics have been from the inner workings of E! entertainment television. I guess my life has really come a long way from central Ohio. In other news, Scott made it through surgery withuot complication on St. Patty's day and I was there to help his wife see him through. Enough for now, I'm tired and I have to work tomorrow morning.

RIP: The Screensavers

VIVA TSS!

Last night I sat down, drank a beer and watched then end of a great show, The Screensavers on G4. Pour a sip of Olde English 40 oz on the curb for The Screensavers tonight.
Next, get ready for... Attack of the show!

Thank you Kevin Pereira, Kevin Rose and Sarah Lane.

Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!




There is nothing funnier than pure, unbridled nerd-hood, of which I sometimes dabble in. But this video exceeds my wildest nerd achievements. You haven't lived, or really laughed till you peed, until you've watched these D&D Nerds (Read Dungeons and Dragons) tramp around in the woods, reenacting their favorite adventure. Particular note goes to the magic user exclaiming "Lightning Bolt" over and over as he tosses "spells" at an ogre. Also noteworthy is the troll against a tree who simply casts death upon one of his attackers, who drops to the ground but then recovers. Also, check out the remix. It's pricelessly set to "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi.

Band of The Week, 3/07: The Streets

Ok, I know you love it, I know you wait for it and here it is bitches! It's the band of the week. This time I'm bringing you The Streets.








He may look like a mild-mannered white boy on the outside, but inside lives the soul of a street-hardened tough-guy that... Oh, who am I kidding? Let me just tell it to you straight up. The Streets aka Mike Skinner is a white rapper from England with a mastery of his craft so tight he'll make you gasp in excitement every time he spits a line. Remember when Eminem was cool and edgy and his lyrics we're unbelievable? Well, The Streets says bring it on and then blasts Em away. Between rhymes on his latest album "A Grand don't come for free," The Streets exposes himself to all sorts of different emotions and perspectives that Eminem couldn't even imagine. On the drug-fuelled hypnotic groove, "Blinded by the lights" Skinner dances between such always tricky subjects as drugs, mayhem and heart-ache. The clip features subdued guitar samples and a set of dreamy female vocals. If you haven't heard it yet, you have to hear it to believe how incredibly captivating it is to hear him search for his girlfriend in a hazy club and alternately lamenting over his lack of cellphone reception. Not hooked yet? Check out the danceably catchy tune "Fit but don't you know it." This track features a knockout punch hook and a clever rhyme style and honesty factor that leave you laughing and cringing at the same time, all the while falling in love with the white-boy stylings of The Streets. The what makes him, my Band of the Week.

Bunnies are better than people. There, I said it


This is the best flash video to come out since
"Super Mario Reloaded"


Halcion and on and on...

OK, 1:26am. Slight insomnia, nothing to be concerned about. I've now taken a mildly narcotic sleeping agent. I've done this numerous times, but I've been sick lately and I can't take any cold medication. I have a condition that interacts with a lot of drugs and nutritional supplements. I can't take regular sleeping pills or ballerina root, which by the way, really works if you can take it. I can't take Daschle or nicely or anything containing an any type of Ephedra. Even if it's pseudoephedrine, which is in nearly every over the counter cold medicine. Hence sudafed pseudo-fed. This leaves only narcotic sleeping pills to battle my insomnia with. And alcohol. Alcohol is good because you can have just a little to take the edge off and not worry about addiction. Not the same goes for narcotics. OK, 1:33, nothing yet. So anyway, the reason I'm thinking tonight might be different is that when your body calls out all it's defenses to battle off a head cold, things tend to affect you differently. Nerve ending fire off in weird directions and neural impulses get reworked. This results in what a lot of people, myself included, refer to as a fever dream, and I've had my share of bizarre nocturnal transmissions. Besides suffering from occasional insomnia and what I suspect is BPH, I have some sort of parasomnia as well. This means that sometimes I'll be totally asleep and think I am hearing, seeing or feeling things. I then "wake up," mind you I'm not really awake and look around the room. I'll sit up and swear I'm seeing a jewel-green snake wrapped around my headboard, or tendrils shooting out from under my pillow towards my face, or whatever. Usually it freaks me out and I reach for a light switch, or more recently, I've been keeping a giant flashlight on the bed next to me. 1:40 and I feel slightly relaxed, I'm listening to Brand New and chilling out. The giant flashlight is great. It throws a beam of one million candle power. For those who don't know, it's fucking bright enough to snap me right out of wherever I need to leave. Generally, this parasomnia isn't much of a problem when I'm working because my brain and body are more active during the day and rest at night. But right now I've been out of work and I can tell my brain is seeking exercise because almost every night I point the sungun around my little room and freak out for about 10 seconds, then I go back to sleep. Good thing I sleep alone, or someone would hate me so much. OK, enough about my freaking conditions. I'll status post later tonight if anything interesting happens. Hopefully I'll just pass out in my clothes. "Ahhh! Cobras..."
