plug o' the week - october 27-31, 2008.

happy all hallow's eve! woot!

mmm.

candy.

clever that.

also, yay for plugs!

my first plug is for possibly the greatest halloween picture i have ever seen. more woot!



words can not express the happiness that brings me.

it reminds me of the old calvin and hobbes snowman pics. ahhhh. childhood.

now on to more important matters, like politics, religion and money.

oh man. did i get you. you were all like, 'whoza whatsits? what blog am i on now?' shoot. you so silly.


film plug o' the week -




ghostbusters.
if you're shocked, you're foolish. again, it's close to halloween. by 'close' i do mean 'is'. this has been one of my favorite films since i was a kid. i was over at christopher neyhart's house when i was like 7 or something, and his parents let him watch it, so i got to watch it. i don't think my parents would have, in a bajillion years, let that happen. but i prevailed. and i loved it. and then the geniuses behind it went and made an awesome cartoon as well. bless them all. i love the sarcasm and the wit. bill murray, man. he's okay in my book. as an actor. i hear he makes for a bad husband. but he tickles the funny bone. and egon yelling, 'your mother!!!' at walter peck will forever be one of my favorite moments in film history. there's also rumors that the writers behind the office are planning on writing a script for a third film. giggle!

'dogs and cats, living together. mass hysteria.'


music plug o' the week -



the things we do - angela mccluskey.
so i was watching a thing on the teevee, and a diaper commercial came on, and i was like, 'why does a diaper commercial have amy winehouse singing a song on here?' was i ever fooled. and had a little egg on my face. this was angela mccluskey. like amy winehouse, but scottish and not in rehab. her voice is amazing. and she's got the old 1940's feel that makes the music ears happy. i dig her a lot, and i think she's better than winehouse. definitely less trashy. definitely a good 'beer, sittin' on the porch, thinkin' about things' album.


television plug o' the week -



chuck.
yeah. i know. computer nerds hate this show because of all the lack of actual computer truthiness. and i know word nerds hate the word 'truthiness'. i've seen it. i know. but holy crap, is it funny. and that's what i enjoy. also there's adam baldwin. and after firefly, how can you not love this guy? i'm always a little confused by people who get so upset by shows that are pushing the reality limit. it's fiction. it can do that. it's supposed to be fun. it is. i've read things about the whole, 'how can he have a computer downloaded into his brain?' and 'why does the government only have one super computer instead of multiple?' you know most of these picky pants are the same people who love spider-man. (which i also do.) remember when spider-man was bitten by a radioactive spider and received the powers of a spider? that happens everyday. so that's why that's a good story. gosh. if you want some good clean funny with a dash of action, chuck is the non-computer geek for you. word up.


so there ya be. enjoy if you want. hate if you must. them's the plugs.

go getchyoself some candy.

groove.

crackers.

so.

i was going to post a blog last night about how i feel old, and how a lot of my friends (and sister) are married and a bunch are starting to have kids, and how, at my age now, my dad already had two kids and had been married for eight years, and that made me sad and i really thought a depressing blog would be...well...depressing.

but seriously. how the poo is it already november of the year 2008?

remember y2k? people were scared. they bought water, and bread, and guns, and moved into shelters. we should find those people and let them know 2008 is almost over. man. that'll be a good knee slapper. "hey, guy. you thought the world was ending. surprise!'

two weeks vacation. that would be nice. not in a bunker with water, and bread, and guns. for eight years. but two weeks. with naps. and comic books. and movies. and newcastle.

have you ever had one of those weeks? i feel like this week is one of those weeks. and it makes me tired. and i know. you're thinking to yourself, 'eddie, you're always tired.' by jove, that's the truth. but there's a tireder tired. and that's what i'm rockin' right now.

also, the use of the term 'crackers' comes from kristina, who always says 'crappers.' i swear though, every time she says it i think she's saying 'crackers.' so, i started saying, 'crackers.' it's fun. unless you're at a wedding full of black people. i guess. at least kristina didn't think it was funny. hahahhaha. that kinda made it more funny.

shoooo.

good times.

sorry about the boring blog post. it's possible i'm boring. that would lead to boringness being written. stoopid awake.

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.

supes n' bats.

i giggled. i won't lie.

more car chase craziness

i wasn't involved with the second half, but it seems like this guy is a crazy person. whatchya gonna do?

car chase craziness link

what the shart?!?!

so.

there was a fire drill. at work. remember those from when you were in school? remember the joy of getting out of class? and the being outside? it was a lot like that, except now i'm older and the getting up is more of a pain than the not working. not to mention that the fire alarm in our building is reminiscent of a banshee giving birth to a five year old cow with turrets. that's not as cool as it sounds. oh. it doesn't sound cool, you say? exactly. it's less cool than that.

well i decided that i'd boogy on down to jimmy john's and get my freaky fast on, cuz i was hungry. so after the alarm noise was done, i jumped in the ride and scooted. as i was heading down to the jj, a 5-0 rolled by with lights and sirens, and everyone pulled over. seemed pretty normal. cops on the prowl. right on.

i keep heading down plymouth road, and i'm about ten yards away from the nixon intersection when low and behold a crazy arse mofo rolls out of the intersection peeling out and leaving smoke and rubber all over the place. i was like, 'slow your roll.' he did not. as soon as that thought leapt from the brain, 5 of the ace's finest roll after him in high pursuit, again with lights and sirens. everyone in the intersection froze. we sat there for like an entire minute. we were all witness to a car chase. what the what?

here's a link - driver leads police in high speed chase

i get my jj. think that things like that whole car chase are mad crazy. i'm recovering.

i go to the intersection to go back to the office and stop at the light. as i'm waiting there, in the other direction, a lady is sitting at the other turn light waiting to go, but i guess she's too far back for the sensor to read her vehicle. the dude in the truck behind her gets out and starts yelling at her to move up so the light will change. then, instead of doing that, she just turns on the red.

craziest half hour i can remember in my life.

i was so too sober. sheesh.

five guys i think my girlfriend might be jealous of.

for all intents and purposes, let us suppose that i am terribly heterosexual and that i'm madly in love with my girlfriend. both of these statements are irrefutably true. it's true that they're true. believe me, for reals, yo. now, it's come to my attention, through said lovely girlfriend, that i may have an issue with mushes (male crushes). you say to yourself, 'how can that be? you say you are a heterosexual, and we've met your lovely girlfriend. she is lovely, and a girl, and your friend.' i know, right?

but whenever the any male below is mentioned, i guess my eye does something because she looks at me with raised brow and says ,'mmmmmmmmmmm-hmmmmm.'

seriously. it's not my fault. i don't think. i hope not. possibly it is. stupid guys with their hair and dashing good looks.




josh holloway.

he's sawyer. how can you not dig this cat? great hair. good teeth. and he's one rugged mutha'. the naughty monkey and i were so hoping he'd be gambit in anything. stupid hollywood and their stupid stupidness.








johnny depp.

well, he's johnny depp. funny. cheeky. bases pirates off of crazy old, possibly living dead, rock stars. genius, i say. also, the hair. hair is awesome. sigh.






nathan fillion.

the dude is witty. and charming. and also a sci-fi pirate. maybe pirates are really what i have an issue with here. hmmm. humorous, this fellow. very humorous.






john stamos.

this is kind of where it started. this dude always had awesome hair. and if you asked me twenty years ago who i looked up to in that department, this was the cat. oddly enough, it still is. and now he's going and getting all famous again. who saw that coming?







george clooney.





seriously. i think all of the above arguments are strong enough to stand on their own. am i proud? not usually. would it be awesome to sit down and have a pint with these fellows? hecks yes. and i'm pretty sure like 87% of you people out there would agree. just because i'm the only one putting this out there doesn't mean i'm the only one who knows this to be true. gosh.

also, i mentioned i'm madly in love with my girlfriend right?

it's possible i have issues.

ps - if my girlfriend, who might read this, doesn't really feel this way about these guys...then...uhm...nevermind. this post is only a joke. heh. man am i funny. with the guys. on the blog. here.
