The Hole with a View

Let me begin by apologizing for missing a day (yet again). I was quite busy, but I had a good blog idea (I think). So, please pretend this post is for yesterday Wed. April 28.

Courtney Love was on the View today and played quite a soft song for all the housewives in the audience. The hosts of the show then came and sort of hugged her, and she gave a kiss to Whoopi's cheek. It was... touching?

In all seriousness it was nauseating. When Hole first started she claimed that she wanted the band to sound like Pay Your Rates by The Fall. They never did and they certainly don't now.

Way to sell out your vision.


Here's a YouTube link for those of you interested in hearing an amazing song. (The Fall one I mentioned, not Hole's old lady performance from yesterday--err... I mean "today.")

Entertaining Lies

There is nothing I love more than a lie to fool the world with. PIXAR has attempted it, and their execution is flawless.

Meet Lots-O-Huggin Bear. The newest character in Toy Story 3. Since he didn't exist... ever, PIXAR decided to do some viral marketing by creating a commercial for him (circa 1983) complete with VHS flaws and crappy effects to build up this new character.

They honestly had me believe he existed, until I saw the Yahoo news posting. Here's a link to the YouTube video for the lazy people out there.

I've fool friends, family, small rooms of people and I just hope one day I can fool the world.

Beatle Mania!

Does anyone honestly buy Beatles albums anymore? If I liked the band, I believe that I'd just download their music because the remaining members are rich. They've gotten enough of America's money, and it's time for some action in the form of digital theft!

Unite and download Rubber Soul (or be like me and not like the Beatles.)


Good talk.

(belated) Kudos to Kevin Tighe!

I recently blogged about my congratulations to Samm Levine for being on my two most favorite shows ever (Lost and Freaks & Geeks). But last night I watched the F&G episode "Smooching & Mooching" and lo and behold Kevin Tighe plays Nick Andopolis' dad. Kevin also plays John Locke's father! The difference? Well his character on F&G didn't push Nick out of an eight story window (although I'm sure he'd like to at times).

I apologize for forgetting this valuable piece of information the other day!

PS: I also apologize for forgetting to blog yesterday. I'm sure my Zero readers don't mind. In fact my fanbase will be known as the Phantoms, since they don't exist ;)

I Still Cannot Get Over It

You gave it your best shot, Kate. Please don't give up. Never surrender. Hold on to that towel, and above all else keep reaching for (and dancing with) the stars!

Earth Day just another shopping day?

That's what stores are trying to make us consumers believe. It's pretty despicable. That's why I will not be inviting my neighbor who works at Macy's for my annual Arbor Day BBQ and Swap Meet.

For shame!

If you like not laughing, here's the article link from Digg.com

I'm glad Congress couldn't save beeps or else there'd be a lot of 143's to catalog.

Digg.com had this story about how every tweet will be (and currently is being) cataloged by the library of Congress.

Now every drunk who decided to tweet a string of random swear words to his equally drunken friend will have their "conversation" preserved until the end of time.

And I used to respect that the Library of Congress deemed Star Wars prevalent enough to mankind that it be preserved in their vault.

Or maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have a cell phone and cannot text "Dizzy dick, fart splash on a shitty window sill" and have my children's children's children look it up on a whim while they attend Mars University.

Hurry and Catch Up!

I have a friend who's close to catching up with LOST and he was unsure where he could watch season 6 episodes (from the beginning) so I sent him this link.

I wanted to post it here also, in case there were other unfortunate folks unsure how to catch up to the current (and final) season. Enjoy!

Kudos to Samm Levine!

This past Tuesday's episode of LOST featured a quick scene with Samm Levine. This man has done the impossible and has been on both of my favorite TV shows; Freaks and Geeks and LOST. You, my good man, have achieved more than any other by being on the two greatest shows ever to be produced.

KUDOS!

Legendary Pink Dots

To my parents great dismay, I am wearing a pink t-shirt today. My mother keeps asking friends and family if it's OK for a man to wear a pink shirt, they all reply with "no." This makes her and my father very nervous and upset with my wearing this shirt.

I guess my plain pink shirt has a magic eye image that reveals a unicorn dry humping a rainbow... a male rainbow.

I still don't see the problem --or the unicorn-- but I think I can make out the rainbow.

I Go Against Everything I Said Yesterday (Sort of)

YES! Last night's episode of Big Bang Theory finally ended Leonard and Penny's relationship, so my spec is back up and running. All I have to do now is just shorten scenes so that they move faster, and maybe lessen the intense Lord of the Rings references I have in there so as that it could be read easier by simpletons (HA!).

I can salvage it unlike my Office spec where they changed the show and cast around so much that my very first spec must die a death seen and heard by no one but it's originator. It's sad... but I'm still excited to keep and upgrade my Big Bang spec!

Lousy Copy Cats!!

I saw the 3/8/2010 episode of Big Bang Theory last night, and am greatly displeased that the entire episode was based around the Lord of the Rings as well as many references to it. My spec script does that also, not in the same way, but I hate how now it looks like I saw this episode and was inspired.

I guess it's good though that I have become disenchanted with my spec after writing a great Modern Family spec that I'm really proud of and a surprisingly well done spec of the Middle. I suppose that when I write non-geeky things my writing is better?

You tell me fan base of zero, you tell me.

From Hollywood To Splitsville

Another pair of stars have fallen. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have officially broken up and announced it via twitter.

I haven't been this upset since the fall of Beniffer, now if you'll excuse this short post, I must tend to my broken heart and soaked eyes.

Farewell

So Food, Inc. has ruined yet another food I enjoy; Rice Krispies. Apparently Rice Krispies contains High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) so this morning's bowl was a farewell of sorts to an old chum.

So long, Snap, Crackle, and Pop. We had some crazy adventures, like that time I had you for lunch instead of breakfast. Freakin' unbelievable, right?

Babs or REO Speedwagon?

gLee auditions!!!!

Get your pipes and tights ready for this one. I'm fairly certain that I (or one of my many characters) will be auditioning for this.

It all comes down to what song to sing:

Barbara Streisand - Don't Rain on my Parade

OR

REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

Please help me decide, people.

Hey, guys, Leno got screwed too!

QUOTE!

It's pretty f'n tough to go back on your word and force NBC to give you your own late night show (after you claimed to be retiring) then have them "force" you to be the host of the Tonight Show again.

He's like a modern day Grover Cleveland... just less funny.

The Reign of the Man Named IKEA.com Comes to an End.

It was all a hoax?

I'll change my name for a hefty gift card to Borders, Eddie Gossage.

Eddie?

Does anybody care?

This is IKEA.com speaking.
