Yeah, I know, confirmation bias and all, but the same day that I'm throwing my dog a quinceañera, they're doing a special article on quinceañeras in our newspaper. How weird is that? I meant the article not the idea of throwing a birthday party for a dog. He might not be Hispanic or female, but he's going to be 15 and he's sassy ( Read more... )

This is a neat website where you can put down what books you've read and get recommendations and bla bla bla I'm really bad at describing things in an interesting manner. It's cool, just take my word for it. The link sends you to my shelf, though I've been reading fairly odd books lately. I won't tell you which one, in case for some reason it's a ( Read more... )

My friend, Brad (who is awesome), and I are making our own Rifftrax * as a part of a new deal they have. You make your own, maybe some people laugh, you get paid (or at least have a smashing time). We compiled a list of 28 movies and have narrowed it down to these 5. We have both been staring at lists of awful movies for a while and realized ( Read more... )

Remember the radio drama thing I totally wanted to do this summer? I didn't forget, and I'm still up for giving that a shot. I've started writing new scripts and since my awesome friend Brad has a good microphone (albeit in Orlando), this is still possible and hasn't fallen apart like most ridiculous projects I dream up. So, if you want to write, ( Read more... )

Ingredients:

2 squares of unsweetened chocolate

1/4 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup ( Read more... )

Hey, do you or someone you know have an oven that's 15+ years old? Did you know that it might freak the hell out and try to melt itself and kind of explode? You will hear a loud buzzing noise along with a bang, and then smoke will fill the kitchen. No fire, at least, as long as you catch it quick enough ( Read more... )

I went to Universal/IOA a couple of days ago (quick trip to also see the Kids in the Hall show at Hard Rock, so I didn't have time to visit anyone, alas). As I was entering the first park , some survey guy approached to try to get me to do some survey. I almost ignored him completely, but he mentioned getting a free park pass, so I did the survey ( Read more... )

First: Mario Kart for the Wii: Fun times, or mind-numbing frustration as you're in first place 3 seconds from the finish line and you're hit by 3 blue shells, 4 red shells, a lightning bolt, and 10 green shells immediately putting you in 40th place which, you think, is funny considering there were only 11 other racers ( Read more... )
