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.
