Songs that get stuck in your head
Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Yes, the Polite Dance Song video was directed by Eric of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show.
I had Polite Dance Song stuck in my head for months, until it was forcefully replaced by A-Punk.
El Presidente
Sunday, July 26th, 2009It’s been awhile. Time I start posting random things again. Enjoy.
Fantastic Contraption
Sunday, October 12th, 2008
Fantastic Contraption is a really fun little web game. Simple goal, just get the red block inside the goal area using a small array of tools. As with most physics games though, the fun is in creating wacky things. Add the ability to share your contraptions with others via a link, and we’re all set.
Here are some of my others:
Two Way, Caterpillar, Jumper, Crawler, and my favorite, Lift.
Also, Joel is great at creating walkers.
Give it a try.
Gaelic Storm
Monday, August 25th, 2008A friend at work introduced me to Gaelic Storm since I like Flogging Molly. They don’t have the punk undercurrent that Flogging Molly has, but so far I really like them.
My favorite so far:
True story. He punched Russell Crowe.
DR. Horrible is the Best Thing Ever.
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Seriously, watch this right now. It gets pulled down Sunday evening.
Fourth of July and Hellboy 2
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Go see Hellboy 2, it is much better than the first one. I did like the first one, but mostly because I like Hellboy’s character. Hellboy 2 is sitting at an 88% right now on Rottentomatoes.
Here’s some fireworks for you:

39 Seconds of Saturday, and Other Stuff
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Wall-E is highly recommended. The story is simpler than the Incredibles, but I’d say I enjoyed the movie just as much. It is amazing how much character they can put into something that barely speaks. As usual the CG was a step up. I look forward to Pixar’s next.
Wanted was odd. I think I can only sum it up as well executed, but ridiculous. It’s getting hard to like action movies these days. -Spoiler- During the final rampage the main character shoots someone in the eye with a magnum, stabs the gun into his head, and then carries the body as a shield while still shooting through it. I just don’t feel like the target audience anymore. Am I supposed to watch that and go “Oh OHHH. THAT WAS SO BADASS I WISH I COULD DO THAT.”? -End Spoiler-
Killer Shrimp was very tasty. It is a shame that the Marina Del Rey location is closing. There are others though and if one is near you I’d recommend giving it a try.
And lastly, big band in Chinatown:
