Thank you LSU for going 12-0. You are awesome.
Thank you Mills, I wouldn’t be watching Strange Powers and enjoying Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields without you.
Thank you alcohol, but i feel pretty crappy right now. thank you anyway.

Weekend Movie Recap
It was a slow weekend so I had a chance to catch up on some movies. Most are on Netflix Instant Watch.
Robin Hood (2010) - made me sleepy. next time, just re-watch Gladiator. Hot Tub Time Machine - liked it Mac and Me - an E.T. ripoff, worst kids movie in history? Exit Through The Gift Shop - liked it Hounddog - eh. I woulda been better off skipping this one. Easy A - liked it Deathly Hallows...

so, when does Mad Men make it to Netflix Instant...
Also, The Wire, but I know that’s not gonna happen. Those 2 shows are going to the top of my queue, once I’m done with Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, and It’s Always Sunny. oh, and The IT Crowd. also, Pushing Daisies.

Spending just a few hours with the family is completely draining. Physically, mentally, spiritually, and psychotically.

Homebrew
For Xmas I was gifted a Mr. Beer home brewing kit, expanding my hobby from drinking beer to making AND drinking beer. I started with a West Coast Pale Ale in late December, and after 6 weeks I am very excited to announce that I am a proud papa of approximately 2 gallons of delicious beer! Well, minus the liter that I consumed last night. My weeks of doubt were all for naught, as my brew both...

The Human Centipede: The Movie
And now, a chronicle of the best reviewer comments:
“This movie eats …well, you know.”
“..and what does this say about the Dutch?!”
“Without the use of your mouth (and partially obstructed use of your nose), you would not be able to take in enough air for all the shrieking and groaning the people do.”
“Watched it while eating lasagna.”

I tricked you, because this post is actually all about politicians, and why I will not vote for any this year. I am holding out for a politician, Dem or GOP (or other), that does not resort to “Smear Campaign” commercials. If I hear or see a commercial, approved by a politician, that refers in any way to the competition, I will not be voting for that person. I vow to stick to this...
Today is the birthday of Pablo Picasso, an artist whose importance may not have been known to me at a young age. His art, however, was strangely important to my upbringing.
My parents owned very few paintings, but this one was in their bedroom when I grew up.
Its title is “The Lovers”. Having been raised Catholic, I always assumed it was a picture of Mary and Joseph. Also, I always...
LSU 7-0; first time since the 1970s.
How long since we’ve been 8-0? I’m feeling good about this Saturday.

August 13 is designated International Lefthanders Day by Lefthanders International. It was first observed 13 August 1976. As its name suggests, it is meant to promote awareness of the inconveniences facing left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world. It celebrates their uniqueness and difference, who are from seven to ten percent of the world’s population.

Skilled in Decision-Making
Whenever I find myself trying to decide whether I should or should not eat a bag of Cheetos, I always like to bust the bag open and eat a mouthful of them - that is step one of my decision-making. If I still have not come to a decision, I simply repeat step one.
At this point, you may feel free to recommend me as a Food blogger.

True Love
I know I have found the love of my life when I give her a 3-word movie quote (“Otis, my man!”) and she correctly identifies the film.

Can anyone name the first ever MTV World Premiere Video, from way back in ‘82?
Edit: not the first video played. the first time they had a “World Premier Video” like they did with all of MJ’s Dangerous videos.
So WTF happened to No Doubt?
Here’s what happened. They were formed. They eventually released Tragic Kingdom. Then keyboardist/songwriter/Gwen’s brother Eric Stefani left the band. And why does the band now suck? They’ve sucked since he left.
And what did Eric go and do? He worked as an animator for The Simpsons. In the good years. Then he left the show. And why does the show now suck? I can’t put...

Fast Food, per wikipedia
“Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very slowly.”
oh, and further down in the article is this puzzling statement: “People of the US has eaten so much food that at one case a man dispersed his waste through all possible exit points in a mcdonalds in South California.”
update: it’s been fixed. bummer.

Bunnies playing tricks on me
So, here’s the set-up to my story. It’s boring, yet necessary. My backyard has no fence (yet) with woods behind it, and there are some rabbits that live there and use my backyard for their communal toilet. It doesn’t really bother me, and Woody (my precocious pup) thinks their droppings are wonderfully tasty. Anyway, that’s over with, let’s get on with why it’s...
