Why Palin with never be Vice-President or worse yet President
I saw this video and didn’t pay much attention – at least not until someone else pointed out the real fascinating part. Block Palin out, ignore her – it should be easy. Instead focus on the guy in the background as he slaughters turkeys. Yes, talk about a poorly planned photo op – you go to pardon a turkey and end up all over the world on camera with turkey killers (and one turkey that just doesn’t seem to want to die). This sort of incompetence is why no one takes her seriously.
This could be my parents
I ran across this video while browsing. My lord, this could be my parents. The whole DTV switch over is going to be a major confusion for those that aren’t tech-literate. I know my parents do not have a clue what the difference between SD and HD is. The only good part is that they have dish and won’t have to worry much. Though, I already know the phone is going to ring with them wondering why the news suddenly ‘has these black lines at the top and bottom and the man is so small’ (translation letterbox).
Dance Dance Revolution — The Musical ???
When I first read this at gaygamer.net, I thought it had to be a joke, a parody of something worth parody. But it is no joke. There really is going to be a DDR the musical. Set in an Orwellian style world where dancing is illegal, a gang of youth (40 attractive barely clad performers) are without hope to overthrow the oppressive government until their dancing prophet Moonbeam Funk arrives.
Inspired by the wildly popular video game of the same name, Dance Dance Revolution is like Footloose set in the future—but much scarier, and with 40 really attractive, barely-clothed young actors as well as free beer!
—Broadway World
If you happen to be in NYC between Dec 3 – 20 you can catch it at the Ohio theatre.
–Start pseudo rant/confessional
Alright, I admit it, I am a closet DDR addict. I actually got a little giddy at the thought of just how campy and funny this would have to be (and jealous I’m not in it). How far does my addiction go. I have at least one DDR game for every console I own. A total of 12 DDR titles including DDR Mario Mix for the Gamecube (if you are a DDR fan you know how uncommon that title is). I pretend to think DDR is silly and juvenile, but then can put friends/colleagues/students to same when they finally ‘convince me’ to try (I try to fake newbie status at first, but then become a ‘quick learner’). I had an ex-boyfriend convinced I only had a DDR game in case I couldn’t find time to get to the gym. The mats are all hidden (the one for my 360 behind the entertainment console, and other platforms in the back of a closet). The games and their cases are harder to find than my porn stash. DDR is both my shame and my joy. I readily admit to my vices and quirks, but DDR has been my little secret guilty pleasure for a long time.
The Last Remnant
I know, games never live up to their hype. Fable II was a classic example of that. Sure it was a good game (and a good excuse to take off work for a couple of days), but it definitely has problems. The next fall title that I am just giddy about comes out November 20. Square-Enix’s The Last Remnant – yes an RPG. I happen to really enjoy RPG’s. While SE’s games are somewhat formulaic (if you played one, you played them all in a way), they do tend to have good story lines, interesting characters, and fairly good game mechanics. Personally, I think it will be a winner, and I am waiting for it.
Is this news cast especially crappy or is it just me
I have seen some crappy newscasts before, but this just absolutely takes the cake. This poor guy gets the business end of a cow and just goes on like nothing happened. I am still laughing just thinking about it. The visual is bad enough, but I don’t want to imagine the smell (I grew up on a farm, cow pies stink in a whole class by themselves).
Post Halloween Paperwork
Ahhh, the Monday after Halloween. Every college administrator’s favorite day. Here I sit going through all the logs and reports when low a behold a lovely video file crosses my email.
I can’t tell you how appropriate this is given the logs I have. I’m not going to pretend that I haven’t had more than my fair share of drunken nights (thankfully none that ended like that). Heck, I’m from Kentucky the place where
By law, anyone who has been drinking is “sober” until he or she “cannot hold onto the ground.”
At least I can be thankful for small miracles, so far it doesn’t appear anyone ended up in jail.
