And One Quick Funny Story to End Today's Blogging

This is quite old - surprising I didn't stumble upon sooner given I found the link via DDT Digest. But anyways, it is sure to raise a giggle or two:

Old People Should Not Be Allowed Phones

Oh yeah

Speaking of stupid things that I have been watching...

I watched Mean Girls a while back. And then again last weekend.

I think it is now one of my favourite movies.

I also watched Freaky Friday a few weeks ago and that also is fantastic. I blame Jamie Lee Curtis.

I may dislike Disney and Lindsay Lohan, but they sure do make some cool movies when they join forces.

To complete my Lindsay Lohan kick at the time (myself and a friend also watched Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Just My Luck) I got a copy of her A Little More Personal album - if anyone would like a review, let me know.

That Reminds Me...

Does anyone else remember Shooting Stars?

That show was fantastic!

Talk About Bored

Seriously. I can't even think of anything to blog about at the moment!

I have started on blogs regarding all the musical activity from last month, but decided it really needed some sort of visual aids so they will not be posted until after this weekend. But that leaves me with very little options, as my time outside of the office has been filled with drum beats that rock my head until I can't do anything but sit in bed quietly watching old episodes of South Park.

Yes, very old episodes of South Park.

Though it may surprise some people, despite the seriously crude sexual humour, I really do enjoy South Park - though I have a very up and down attitude towards it; when it first came out in '98 it was one of the TV shows that I never dared to miss (along with WCW Nitro, WWF Raw and Shooting Stars), but then as season 2 continued I got very bored with the show very quickly. I went and saw the movie, but at the time I didn't enjoy it at all (more on that later) and then my old pal Steve downloaded season 3 (back when downloading a 20mb TV show was AMAZING) I was hooked again... for about a month. Then a year later he got me to watch season 4 with him and that was it - I was officially a fan again! I blame the "Finger Bang" episode. This made me revisit the movie, and I saw the error of my ways and finally realised the cinematic gold that it truly is. I seriously think I watched it every day for about a month... though that could be because I was in a really weird space and was totally latching on to anything that made me feel slightly entertained, including staying up for 3 days playing Pirates! on my Commodore 64... but that's another story.

Anyways, after Steve downloaded season 5 - which, for the record, took about 5 years to actually air on NZ television - I was excited, but then after watching it I was way too grossed out and it sort of killed my fandom for the show. And yeah, since then I haven't watched it, except for maybe 1 episode where the US Government is trying to start a war with heaven because they believe Saddam Hussein was building weapons of mass destruction up there (I think that was season 6) and then 1 from season 10 - the mighty Make Love Not Warcraft episode (if you haven't seen that I recommend downloading it at your next convenient time).

Anyways, as part of my way of getting back in the mood to re-record all of this old material, I decided to revisit some old episodes of South Park and downloaded the entire 1st and 2nd seasons. And boy did I forget just how funny they were! While Mr. Hankey still creeps me out to the highest degree, there are some hilariously funny moments. And these versions have the added bonus of introductions by Matt Stone and Trey Parker (which I had seen on the home video versions, but not all of them) - when they are "entertaining" the old people, I can't imagine anything funnier. Well, OK those do get a bit old pretty quick. But there is one that has me in stitches every time (I'm going to upload it to youtube so I may post a link).

And Not Without My Anus is still far and away my favourite cartoon episode of all time. Terrance and Philip rule!

So yeah, a huge mighty post about how much I like South Park. I would say I'm pretty bored

An Easy Way to Annoy the Kid

I think Lou will understand this one:

I received an email from an acquaintance regarding the movie Juno (which, by the way, if you haven't seen it I highly recommend going to see it right now! Well, maybe finish reading this blog first. Because my ramblings are much more important than going to the cinema. Unless of course you plan to illegally download the movie from the internet, in which case you can start your downloading on a separate tab and then resume reading if you desire)

Oh yeah, the dumbass email:
Ahahaha, speaking of absolutely. WEIRDEST no-point-at-all dream last night. I
saw the Juno ad yesterday so I'm guesing that influenced it.

(look
it up if you dont know what its about, stupidest film ever, I never want to see
it, it looks like a lame story, lame acting, and that little punk was nominated
for best actress, she should NOT have been) THEN read:

My dream was
Rocky standing in front of the Juno poster with little marie going "y'know I
think it's ridiculous, I mean you got these people sayin' its absolutely some
kinda tragic thing havin a kid that young, but yknow its absolutely the wrong
spin, I mean sure you gotta un'erstand it'd be hard, but ykno, that's absolutely
a lil person bein brought to daylight, ykno? I mean I do not see how a
person would call that some kinda dark think ykno? it's this lil person, an it's
got rights, an you gotta respect that, dont see how this is somethin tragic.
thats jus' what i think"


Personally, I think this is the typical reason most normal people don't like Christians - judging something they have no real knowledge of, purely because they have some stupid opposition to something. And then to say an actress is untalented and didn't deserve a nomination for an award without having seen the performance is just completely annoying.

As I said, Juno is a fantastic movie, and anyone who says otherwise is pretty well retarded. I am no longer any good at articulating film reviews, so just ask Lou and I'm sure she will reiterate how good he movie.

Mega Music Mayhem Month of March

I had planned to make big posts about each concert I have been to this wonderfully rocky month. However my original plan called for the inclusion of the photos taken at each event... but sadly, I still have not managed to get copies. So you will just have to put up with uninteresting written reviews of my experiences. I may throw in some official pics from Rock2Wgtn just for fun though.

On a side note, bubble wrap is fun. Every home should have some. Unless they have small children who may suffocate when it is placed over their heads. But you should keep it out of reach and not place it over their mouths just because you are bored and think it might look funny. Be responsible!!!

2025 in 2025: Day 197

Somehow I have made it to the end of the year with 17 albums to go. What a trip... 愛泥C - Charisma.com Like always, big beats, dreamy vocals,...
