plug o' the week - october 20-24, 2008.

so. i have a blog. i do. i say that because i'm typing on one, and most likely you're reading it. i mean, if you're not, then you're probably not here any way so you don't know i have a blog. that's a large possibility. i also have a few other things. none of which really pertain to this blog, but this blog is not all i have. i am typing aimlessly. you actually don't have to read any of this.

anywho, so i thought to myself, 'self, what do you do when you have a blog?' it seems most people make lists and tell people what they like, and what's hip, and cool, and red all over. maybe not the red part, but it started sounding like one of those jokes. am i right or am i right?

so in the shower this very ante meridian, i decided i would do a weekly 'plug o' the week'. the 'o'' should be pronounced 'oh', not 'ah'. just to let you know. i will plug films, music and television shows that i personally enjoy, and think others might as well. if you don't like after reading it here, that's cool, and if you don't like before reading it here, that's also cool. these are just opinions and things i like.

also, i'd dislike any kinds of threats or anger from things i like even if they do suck a great deal.

also, also, if you disagree, you're a cotton headed ninny muggins.

that's not true. that was uncalled for. i apologize.


film plug o' the week -

shaun of the dead.
hecks yes i love this film. and since it's so close to halloween i thought i'd plug this bad boy. i mean, any film that has an electronics store manager drinking guinness and killing zombies is okay in my book. simon pegg and his cohorts are wonderful. they're also in charge of hot fuzz which blew my mind. it's funny, and scary, and hilarious, and they throw records at zombies. i mean. wow. genius. i recommend this to anyone who likes goodness. if you don't like goodness, go watch jurassic park 3.


music plug o' the week -


boxer - the national.
so, kristina and i were watching chuck the other night. that show rocks. i know mcg produces it, and he's a bit of a hack, but the characters are cool, it's frakkin' funny, and more often than not there are some good jams in there. in this one episode, chuck is rollin' up to his bodyguard/crush sarah's hotel room with a flower and some wine, and this song kicks in that's pretty slow, but has an awesome drum/rhythm thing going on. and i was definitely down. so the next morning i checked out adtunes, and low and behold, it was the national. i have a few songs from these cats, and they rock. i don't know a lot about them, but i know the lead singers voice is awesome, and the music is sweet. and they're from brooklyn. so i purchased the album. it's nice. one of my all time favorite things is when you hear a good song, and you're like, 'that's a good song. i wonder who does it.' then you do some sleuthing and it's from a band you already like. makes me think of rainbows, and gumdrops, and unicorns. word.


television plug o' the week -

pushing daisies.
mmmmmmmmmmmm. this show is so tasty. i can't get over how amazing it is all the time. it's funny and heartfelt and genius. the dialogue is super fast and the scenery is breathtaking. the characters, and even their names, are wonderful. names like charlotte 'chuck' charles, emerson cod, the darling mermaid darlings, and olive snook. also, on occasion, cast members randomly break out into song. woot! there are only geniuses involved with this show. sadly, besides kristina and myself, i think only three other people watch it, so there's a strong chance it'll get canceled. that makes me sad. thankfully wonderful shows like the poorly written, directed, acted, filmed and edited new knight rider are already being renewed. yay america! enjoy the amazingment that is pushing daisies before it is gone forever. mmm. pie.

so ends the first plug noise. let me know if you have thoughts and/or feelings.

groove.
