Also, the scariest/most awesome cat of all time. "Satanic Cat."
The best part is really the little meows of complaceny near the end, as if he's like, "yeah, ok, i know i overreacted a little here people... GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FACE!"
rhymeandreason72: good: In its first week out of the gate, Hilton's first CD is being widely seen as a certified flop. "Paris," which features the single "Stars Are Blind," sold a lackluster 75,000 copies in the United States - a pittance compared to Christina Aguilera's first-week sales of 320,000, according to Soundscan. schwindle: WHY THE FUCK DID 75,000 PEOPLE BUY THAT SHIT schwindle: I'm not in favor of genocide or eugenics. In fact, I really disapprove of both and look down upon practitioners of said practices. But the 75,000 people that bought that CD should immediately be tagged for sterilization and anyone that kills them should be allowed to do so without concern of being charged with murder. schwindle: In fact, to buy the CD you should actually have to sign a paper that says, "I hereby waive my right to live life free of persecution or attempts on my life."
We found this in our yard this weekend. It's called a Luna moth, and adults only live for 1 week and have no mouths. NO MOUTHS. They have babies, which grow into adults, which live for a week and then die. I really can't figure out what their purpose is in ye olde circle of life, but they are very pretty.
And, here's my hold-the-camera-underneath-the-bug-so-i-can-get-a-cool-pic-of-the-fuzzy-body pic that actually turned out kinda neat and totally looks like it should be on Flickr.
He's prolly drunk, but the peoples gets whats the peoples wants.

So, I finally found an embeddable mp3 player. Rather, i found ODEO, which hosts mp3 files (and podcasts, if that's your thing), and then a month later realized they had the player.
SCORE.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Hey MySpace kids: Want to read a magazine? If you answered yes, you may be in luck. MySpace is actively considering whether to launch an ink-on-paper magazine to complement its insanely popular and remarkably valued online property. The editorial mix would likely cover standout MySpace members and their interests, from music to their social scenes.
"We're in the process of modeling it," said an executive privy to the discussions. "Our main concern is the MySpace brand. We don't want to do anything that would hurt the brand."
But ... it's an upstanding member of the solar system...
To the probable dismay and confusion of schoolchildren everywhere as the world they thought they knew crumbles around them, scientists (important scientists?) have decided that pluto no longers fits the criteria for official planet status.
Ever since I heard the 2 Skinnee J's song, "Pluto," it's all i can think about whenever it's mentioned. So, in honor of the no-longer-a-planet-but-perhaps-just-a-celestial-orb, the Pluto song!

A "Dolphins in Popular Film" segment was scrapped when Ed Norton refused to don neo-Nazi garb and curb-stomp a dolphin.

OK, so i realize that language such as "has revealed that the publisher believes" is TOTALLY different than an absolute confirmation of price, but, still. $170!
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, executive VP and COO of EA's worldwide studios, David Gardner, has revealed that the publisher believes the console will retail for around US $170 in North America.
In an interview to be published later this week, Gardner said: "I've heard in Japan that the price is about $170, but I don't know if the price has been set in Europe yet."
...
Nintendo has so far declined to reveal exact details of a release date or price point for the Wii. However, the company has previously confirmed that the console will retail for less than US $250, and will launch before the end of this year - with shipments estimated to total 6 million by the end of March 2007.
You post designs, people vote, they pick the most popular and they print em. In their own words,
We look at the top 300 designs every couple of weeks and pick out around 10 designs that we want to print based off of the designs score, comments, and the number of i'd buy it's. Ultimately the decision of which shirts get printed are left up to us. The scoring system helps give us a general idea of which designs our customers want.
You have to sign up/log in to vote and stuff, but these are so so so so neat. So neat. Can't you tell how excited I am?
Absolute favorites so far: click on the pics and it takes you to the web site for a closer look! :D

<3! [Someone help me design a team vincent shirt to blow all their minds]
My dad was browsing some stuff on sierra trading post and he found ... TEAM VINCENT PANTS!!!
That is the coolest and or most ridiculous thing of all time. -----------------------------------------------------------
I also can't get this song out of my head:
Vid is fun, i'm pretty sure they're in high school, and the dude with the keyboard is the best part. Found this via Stereogum -- they really have the best stuff!
Remember that not-a-Vans-commercial "Vans" by Bay Area hip-hoppers The Pack? Well, they made a video for the "song" and it's been banned by MTV! Presumably the network had some problems with the "coke white" references, but -- here's the kicker (ha) -- MTV also wanted the Pack to change the name of the song. This is the first time I've heard of a video being banned for being too sneakery.
I got into two new shows recently -- Weeds, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Sunny likes to tell everyone that the Philly Inquirer said they were like "Seinfeld on crack," and that's pretty accurate. Four snarky 30-something friends run a bar, hijinks ensue. Search "It's always sunny" on YouTube and you can get some good clips. It's on FX, but you can watch it via torrents, which is much easier.
Weeds is on Showtime, but again, torrents. It started the 2nd season this week, but the first season was only 10 epis, so it's easy to catch up. It's got tinges of desperate housewives, but it's very clever and just an amazing show. (And it's got Denny from Grey's!)
Premise: Mary-Louise Parker's charac, Nancy, is suddenly widowed when her husband drops dead from a heart attack. She doesn't want to give up her cush lifestyle, so she starts dealing weed in suburbia to make ends meet, and starts climbing her way up the drug-dealer ladder. It's awesome. You'll love it. I promise.
"MTV puts celebrities in those houses for the day to get audiences to value stupid shit."
Yeah right, like i was going to be able to sustain any subject, let alone net neutrality, over more than one post. I am no Harry Kaplowitz.
I just found all that ted stevens stuff pretty damn funny and wanted an excuse to throw it all on here. Like i need an excuse for my blog posts. Why am i even explaining this to you??
At any rate, there is some good (although v. basic) info about the whole NN shebang at SaveTheNet.com. There's also an 18-page wiki post, so, uh, have fun with that if you feel so inclined..

Chappelle's Show: Dave & the magical show business genie-guy.
Chappelle cereal, Lil Jon movie, BALLA MTV CRIBS and making fun of p-diddy. Allllllll right. :D

ALSO if you're not watching Ze Frank, you need to be. He's got a vlog, which other than being uncomfortable to pronouce, is pretty fun. It's like a blog, but, you know, it's video.
Anyway, he's totally random and funny and quite intelligent and even though he puts the camera too close to his face, it's awesome. Your first viewing experience may leave your brain feeling a little scrambled but slightly pleased -- the confusion will pass with each new viewing (runs M-F). He's a weird guy but strangely endearing and he's got some interesting things to say about media. (Totally worth it to watch through the archives, but it'll take a lil while, i'm sure.)
If i can't get this freakin' song out of my head, I'm going to inflict the same fate on as many of you as possible.
