Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Apparently one of my roommates will be moving out. As such the homeowner will be looking for a new roommate.

Time to play Russian roulette. Will it be a pot-smoking junkie who sells meat door to door? Will it be a transvestite hooker? Could it be a recently returned missionary? Or possibly an accountant.

Only time will tell who will be the next contestant on . . . Choose Your Roommate.

Ode to My Brother

My brother and I were talking on the phone today and I was reminded of one of my favorite strips that he drew. Here is it. And if you want to see more, head to his website.

Hello to the Circus

Why I Love British Comedies

Those of you who want to hear about Red Dwarf again . . . continue reading otherwise, don't.

I just finished watching the bonus features in the Bodysnatcher Collection of Red Dwarf. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this, the Bodysnatcher collection consists of the first three series remastered along with some enjoyable making of documentaries. While I was watching these, I realized why I enjoy British comedies so. The people are more honest, less politically correct, and actually bad mouth each other in the documentaries. I have never seen/heard this on any commentary, making of feature, or documentary associated with any TV show or film. On American commentaries I always here "we were so close, it was like a family." And I don't recall hearing that once on the Red Dwarf DVDs.

Because of the pure and unedited honesty, they are so much more comical and enjoyable overall. I would highly recommend them . . . although you can only watch them on a computer or a region free DVD player.

I Made It Back

Much to my dismay, I returned from Disneyworld. It is always sad to see a vacation end.

Nonetheless, I had a blast. Having been to Disneyland dozens of times in my life and knowing it backwards and forwards . . . made it even more fun to see the differences between that and Disneyworld. The exact rides in Disneyland are larger in Disneyworld. One ride that I hate in Disneyland was much better in Disneyworld. In California it is short, loud, and full of so many blacklight sucking cutouts, that it takes away from the actual joy of the ride itself. Not so in Disneyworld. It actually has a story that you can follow without knowing the movie itself.

Aside from the Magic Kingdom there was also Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Animal Kingdom, Downtown Disney, and EPCOT.

Since I was there on my birthday (thanks for the birthday wishes of Facebook, by the way) I can honestly say it was the best birthday I have ever experienced. Now if I could have some family and (more) friends along, it would have been even better. So I'm back and you will no longer hear me blabber on about my trip, my excitement, or anything of the sort.

This morning I did get a call from my job for an interview. If I pass it, that means I might actually be working there with benefits as opposed to being simply on-call. I'll keep you updated.

Oh, one more thing. My nephew asked me to ride Splash Mountain for him. I did. And here's my proof.

On An Airplane

If you're reading this it means I am officially on the plane. Since I have left and won't be updating for at least a week (and how's that different from normal?) I decided to provide you a piece of music I put together. No, it does not contain any whale sounds.

If you listen to (and can understand) the words, it does make some sort of sense. And no, it's not full of music from Disneyland, Disneyworld, or directly from the animated films. I'd suggest turning your speakers down somewhat though.




Enjoy.
