Must post something

broderic on August 25, 2008

I’m getting bored with my link of the day/quote of the day posts, but find them very satisfying as they make me keep up the churning of the blog. I’m hoping to get to the end of the year with this style, but only seeing titles in my RSS feed of link/quote of the day is boring.

I’m hoping you readers click through the links and visit the sites I post. I’m also hoping you like the quotes I dredge up. Next month is NewsRadio Quote Month and I am still deciding if the titles will be quotes or just the quote of the day be quotes from the greatest comedy show of all time. I still haven’t delved into the post Phil Hartman years.

Anyway, just had to post something to break up the monotony of the titles. Although this one isn’t that great. Perhaps, I should start twittering.

Driving down your freeway
Midnight alleys roam
The cops and cars
The topless bars
I never saw a woman
So alone

The Doors, “L.A. Woman”

Link of the Day [8.24.08]

See. I’m not the only one infatuated with anime figures. Here’s a girl that likes to show the world her collection. I wish I could spend my money on these damn things. O, wait I already do! I think my interest was piqued when I spotted the Japanese figures and toys flickr pool. The mecha looked cool, but the darn girly figures were so cute, I just had to have one. Anyway, I do have several plus a set of SD Gundam mechs and two veritech fighters. Onward to more toys!

Running through my mind

Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova keeps on running and running and running while in that sweater and those tights. I love that in Goldeneye.

I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liarThe Doors, "L.A. Woman"

Stormtrooper in the city

The city is Tokyo. It’s not like a night out in Bespin Cloud City or like the dive bars of Mos Eisley in that backwater of Tatooine in the galaxy far, far away.

The stormtrooper is Danny Choo of DannyChoo.com. Infamous for being the dancing stormtrooper of Tokyo. That’s what the pic is about. Go check out this photo set. Looks like he’s having fun.

Actual Pineapple Express Review

broderic on August 22, 2008

Most times, when you're high, you feel time slow down. Most times, when
you watch a Judd Apatow flick, you feel time slow down. Pineapple
Express is a stoner movie produced by Apatow. Time slowed down.It's not like other movies from the Apatow factory, where the movie was
really 30 minutes too long, although this one had an ending then an
afterward that resolved nothing but added more time. The time seemed to
stretch in this movie and his other movies because of the languid pacing
and stretching out of jokes to maximize, but minimize, their
effectiveness. For example, midway through the film, stoners Rogen and
Franco are selling some pot to kids, and the scene lasts for five
minutes as we watch them smoke up and dance stoner dances with the kids.
The too young to smoke kids inhaling, and you would've been laughing
like you were high, but the story adds extra dancing to this scene that
made it pointless. Ten year olds high, funny. Ten year olds and Seth
Rogan dancing not so much.Still there was some laughs to be had. Only if you smoked. I think
everyone in the audience was high, so people were laughing. Danny
McBride wrestles another movie away from its stars and becomes the most
likeable character actor this summer. Gary Cole plays scary somewhat
scarily funny, and Ed Begley makes you laugh remembering his turns in
other comedies like Spinal Tap and Women on the Moon. And Amber Heard,
although in her twenties, plays a very delicious high school girl.See it, but only if you're high.3 of 5 stars.

Olympic Cycling

Here’s an athlete’s account of the men’s road race during the first day of the Olympics. I couldn’t watch it, because of the lame NBC web interface. It sure does sound exciting, riding through the scrubbed clean streets of China, being cheered by the crowds, riding up that darn hill. Wow. What I wouldn’t have given to see that race.

“Now, my friends, I’ll offer anybody here fifty dollars an hour if you’ll go pick lettuce in Yuma this season and pick for the whole season. So, ok, sign up! Ok, when you sign up, you sign up, and you’ll be there for the whole season, the whole season, ok, not just one day. Because you can’t do it, my friend.”
