Its always the quiet ones...

So let me say how much I love stumble.  If you dont know, then obviously you have never wasted 8 hours doing nothing but clicking a button, and Im not talking about the buttons linking to adult orientated web sites, wink wink.  Anywho, stumble gave me a random fact generator.  How factual these items are, I am not sure.  But hey I learned this "Chimpanzees are excellent tool makers and have been documented to make very primitive spears to kill bushbabies hiding in the trees during the night."  I am not sure  what a bushbaby is, but I am not messing around with a chimpanzee any time soon.

Gripe time:  Network TV sucks.  Well most of it sucks.  NBC what have you done for me lately?  The cape?  and now this load of  crap?  Im not against Wonder Woman.  Hell, I am a nerd and love for more nerdyness to come to the forefront of America's viewing habits.  However, NBC has not had a good track record of remakes of tv shows, especially the ones catering to a niche audience of Nerds: Bionic Woman and Knight Rider.  Speaking of craptacular remakes: CBS wants to remake The Wild Wild West, now the link is old, by a few months, but who knows CBS may do it.  Who needs new programming?  NBC?  Nope they are redoing, or supposedly redoing The Munsters.  No new programming at all?

So someone is upset that a movie, again a fictional representation of a historical figure, portrayed someone wrong?  Oh the movie? The Kings Speech. Yea evidently people are upset that the kind ol king didnt stammer as much as he did in the movie, well its a good thing no one on the internet is claiming King George was Hitler's Brother.  Oh for crying out loud.  Seriously internet? 

Today's edition of  the government is out to get us.  So they released a new dietary guidelines today.  In it they tell Americans to eat less crappy foods, Salt, sugars, etc, and drink water.  Well some people on a certain side of the aisle say they didnt go far enough.  They are upset because it says "eat less."  Now I am sure someone will get upset that it went too far.  You know what?  Americans are fat.  Not PHAT.  Maybe in the next dietary guidelines it should say this "Eat whatever the hell you want, but hey you'll die."  But on a serious note if the supple and demand for Hostess cupcakes falls, that means the price goes down too right?

So the BBC is reporting the world's oldest woman has just died.  Of course the official records say she was 114, but she claimed 115.  Who cares.  Look I want to live to be a damn Immortal, like Connor McCloud.  But if I look like that lady, someone put me down.  Like a race horse.  But she does say she lived so long because Jesus Loves Her.

Can an Animal predict the weather? No.  The answer to this question is no.  An animal who comes out of a hole and looks at his shaddow can not, and never will predict the weather....


I am still waiting for the dreaded Ice Storm to hit

Blogging 2.0

So it has been a little less than 2 years since I blogged last.  Back then I was living it up in upstate New York doing the Radio and TV thing.  If you dont believe me check out my old diggs. Since then I have moved to blogger.com and got rid of the old wordpress.com website.  Between then and now I have moved back to Ohio and am in the middle of a grad program for Speech Language Pathology.  Yes I have grown up, sort of.

Shameless plugs for others doing good stuff.  My favorite web hang out has to be PoP! as they talk about everything pop like, music, comics, movies, comics, adult themed material, and oh yeah comics.  When you get there tell em I sent ya, I need some sweet perks.  If you want to read about a red blooded American Kid growing up and teaching Koreans, and his struggles, read this guys stuff.  He is good at the wordyness but his pictures are even better.  And also check out my girl C-dawg here.  Shes got some awesome stuff going on at her site as well...

And stay out of this here library... So lady gets mad at the library and she drops ketchup, maple syrup, and other condiments in the book drop.  She was elderly so maybe she was confused and which pull up window she was at.

I am in the wrong field.  Little Girl bakes a cake and it rakes it 10 K.  I am doing the wedding cake thing and I dont like paying 200 bucks.


The last thing I remember is being in a car crash.  The next thing I know I am in this car trunk, wheres my ear.

What the hell is going on in Egypt.  First the peaceful protests, then they wernt peaceful, then it was the police lighting shit on fire and blaming the protesters.  Then they beat up reporters, blocked the media and internet and now they introduce a curfew.

Whats the quickest way to sell out a grocery store?  Warn them of a  massive snow storm, that weather.com predicts will affect 100 million people.... in other news, its winter.

In the pop culture realm, they have casted the new Superman. Goes to the guy who played in the HBO show Tudors.  The only reason I am excited for this movie is because Chris Nolan is playing a part in the development.  When you have Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Inception, and Memento on your resume you get an automatic look.  No word yet if this guy will take up horse back riding.

In the other Nolanverse, The Dark Knight Returns star, Christian Bale, has said "He is open to doing a fourth batman film."  Well this is great news for fans of the Nolan Batman, but bad news for fans of Kevin Conroy doing a Batman voice, as seen at C2E2. (Courtesy of the boys over at PoP.)

Speaking of C2E2, its the mid-west's Mecca of awesome.  Check out their site.  Make plans to go to Chicago, see things you never thought you would see ever again...

Well thats about it for now.  Its been almost 2 years since my last post so I am going to attempt to not take so damn long till my next one.  Peace, Hope, and all that Jazz...
