Two Minutes and 40 Seconds of Happy

Let's hope I did this correctly - it was a big pain in the ass to figure out.



That's Connor singing and I played all of the instruments - I didn't spend as much time as I could have (if I HAD time, that is), so it needs some adjusting done to the sound levels and effects, and probably an edit or twenty, but there you go - I'll try to do stuff like this more often if this works!

Damn.

I was doing so well at blogging two or three times a week there for a while, and now what's it been, a month more? Anyhow, music lovers out there might appreciate this. Beck's put together top-notch musicians (except Devendra Banhart - that guy once wrote a song about green beans, so he can die in a fire) to record a cover of a seminal record by another artist, all within a day. Good stuff. I especially like the cover of "Marianne."

Thank You, Internets

It's no MacGyver Punch, but it still makes me laugh after many repeat viewings...

Kids Show

I wish this is what was on in the morning. Instead I have to listen to some Canadian Kid Show garbage while I eat my cheerios.

I Don't Blog Much, Anymore

I was doing good for a while - even if it was inane bull$#!% generated by other people. I typically onyl take the time to write out a blog post if I'm watching cells fall into tubes™ as I feel like I'm not wasting company time - I'm multitasking. The schedule in the lab has been rather light as of late, though, so no updates. I did finally get some pictures Flickred, though, so those few of you who type in the URL periodically to visit this little spot in the interwebs can check them out. I'll try to post the better/more explainable of them sometime in the near future.

I like this picture.

In Heaven

In Heaven, I'm pretty sure that this plays on endless repeat.



Now, where did I leave my damn camera?

It's True, Too.

Funny and true.

The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins

If this song isn't played while the credit's roll whenever Peter Jackson gets around to finally filming The Hobbit, I swear to God I'll cut somebody.

Cantankery!

As in, the act of being cantankerous. If cantankery's not a real word, it damn well should be. Anyhow, this is what I'm getting at.

Hello, Dr. Chevalier

Who's my new favorite (fictitious) author?

This guy.



BTW - I have a new pet peeve. It seems recently that the word "fictional" has come into vogue (as in I don't remember seeing it too often prior to the last 6 months or year) to describe a person place or thing that someone has made up. I.E. "If you read it on the internet, it's probably fictional." The problem is, even though I looked it up and it is a real word, it sounds effing stupid and I hate it. Can we all go back to using the word "fictitious," please?

This Guy Has A Tiger's Face On His Bass Drum

How is it that this musician didn't become a household name after releasing this video? It boggles the mind.

My New Favorite Thing Ever

BTW, Y'all. We're going to be in the greater Warshington area from the 11th throught the 20th of this month, or somewhere thereabouts, if anyone wants to meet up. I'm sure I'll send out an e-mail to everyone I think might be interested with some more details, but you might ping me if you're interested and you read this blog. I may even try to send out some details via *gasp* Facebook, but dont' count on it!

Maybe I should try to post some pictures sometime soon.

Follow It Up With This

This Needs Absolutely No Explanation or Translation

Ha ha!

The funniest thing about this picture is the approving and amused look on Sarkozy's face.

Wonder if our man B.O. will be sleeping on the couch anytime soon.

This Is Close Enough...

To Seattle to still count. Effing morons. Fine stores for property that's been stolen from them? Just another example of the kind of pompous NIMBY bullshit I moved away from - although it's certainly found up here in the great white north as well, isn't it?

Seattle's getting it's own label...

Do You See, Seattle?

This is why you can't have nice things. And I swear that every third person in that part of the country is just like that idiot. It's one of the reasons I live in Northern NY now, which also isn't ideal, but at least most people keep their clap-traps shut and wouldn't be caught dead wearing Birkenstocks AND wool socks.

On an unrelated note, I saw most of the new Transformers movie over the weekend, and only about half of what you've heard is true. There are definite continuity problems. Devastator does have testicles. Many of the robots do spit/vomit frequently for no good reason (is it supposed to be menacing, perhaps?). Megan fox does look like, have the acting ability of, and even a good name for, someone who should be appearing in adult movies. And yet...It did prominently feature robots beating the hell out of each other and numerous giant explosions, so it earns a solid "F%$* YEAH!" out of ten, on a one-to-ten scale

Pick Any Blog, Website, Newspaper, Or TV Station

And you'll see something similar to this. Can you deny the cultural significance of Michael Jackson? The guy was never my favorite artist, but I think that for my generation and the generation or two that preceded us, the dude was our Elvis, Sinatra...you know. Even if he did have some eccentricities and possible, erm, icky proclivities.

And the Jackson 5 ruled.


Okay, Okay. Crap quality video, but check out how Bill Cosby used to look!

A Tear for MJ.

Pictures, If You Please

He's become quite the little ham. There was absolutely NO prompting by Cindy and I for either of these outfit choices - the glasses making me laugh he hardest. I was busy with something upstairs, and when I came downstairs, he ran around the corner and looked up at me with a very serious expression on his face.


He'll also kick back an' take 'er sleay, too. Awright awright awright.

Maybe tomorrow I'll dig through and put a pic or two of the older ones up. Maybe.

Some Birds And Some Laughs

I need to put more stuff from the photostream up here. One of the rare nice days we had this spring brought some Cedar Waxwings into the yard, to eat the no-good Japanese Beatles that congregate in, and ruin, the apple blossoms. I think these little guys look awesome:






And, on a completely unrelated note, Dennis Leary is still funny. All I'd heard from him lately is "9/11 was an inside job, blah blah blah." But damn did the last part of this interview crack me up.

Here's a picture of a bookshelf I built. I need to build about three more, now, when I have free time, which is never.

$10

That's how much I would wager that this was filmed on Tupper Lake last winter.



Someday, I will post pics/videos of my own again.

I Could Not Do This

I wouldn't want to be able to, either.




What a psycho!

Really? That Must Have Been Hard To Do.

And by "hard to do" I mean "eff up a simple premise like a GI Joe movie." When I first heard that this had been greenlit, I thought that as long as Snake Eye's costume was true to the cartoon/comic/action figure I'd be stoked to see it. But those silly looking "accelerator suits" (and more importantly the lame CGI monkey movements they make with 'em) really wrecks even that for me. Boo.



Prob'ly I'll go see it anyway.

Fare Thee Well...

...Grasshopper. A tear for David Carradine.

Dammit!

Movies like this beg to be seen on a large screen, and I know this won't be playing up here in my neck of the woods. It looks like about the greatest thing ever.

Yesterday. In the 'Dacks

Boo! ALthough it's sunny right now...hope it lasts!

Yep.

See what I mean about him really being musically talented even though he doesn't sing so well?

Laugh

Will Forte's face at the end of this cracks me up.


I've spent a lot of time over the last week or two hand-writing some things for the lab - I find that I just can't formulate things into a word processor the way I can with a pen and paper. What surprises me is that considering I spent 20+ writing for hours every day in school, my wrist starts to ache after about ten minutes now. I'm not a pussy, though, so no icing at work...

How To...

...Hunt like a damn man. I think most people that I know don't even appreciate where that cellophane-wrapped stuff int he supermarket comes from. Damn.



I always like these David Attenborough things.

Rollin' Dirty

I Would Watch This

I guess this is a preview for a fan-made CG Batman flick. I'd shell out a couple of ducats to watch, based on what I see here...

What?

You mean the esteemed Drs. Carrey and McCarthy are wrong? No...

God Bless You, Adam West

The guy is a national treasure. And if he really did get ripped off in Madoff's ponzi scheme, I'd send him $20.

Batman Garage Sale with Adam West from Adam West

Bass In Yo Face

One of my buddies here at work hooked me up with a bass guitar, so I went to the internet - the source of all things wholesome and factual™ - for some guidance on how to get started. I just wanted a few beginner tips (although I have to admit I'm enjoying taking what I know about guitar, combining it with what I *think* I know from bass players - which is basically how to move your shoulders and head rhythmically - and coming up with bass lines in complete naivete), so I checked out YouTube, and after viewing a few lessons, I found Superfly here blowing my f%$&*@# mind with down-low funky saintliness. Enjoy.

What's Wrong With You?

Are these kids for real...it can't be that bad. Take it like a damn man!

Talkin' Out Of His Ass, Again.

There's so much wrong with this. I won't go into my opinions (I'm a science-type-person, you can probably guess what they would be). But if any of the two or three people who ever read this sumbitchin' blog of mine want to discuss, leave comments.

Shocking.

But not really. At all. Anyone who's even driven through Yakima will find this 100% believable, and even worse, can probably sympathize with the teacher involved (although I don't think many of us would excuse her).

All The People Clapping.

Do they realize that this kid is speaking jibberish? Are they so used to hearing things like this that they can assign some kind of meaning to it even when it's being spouted by someone who still relieves himself in his pants?

You Know...

...I hope we can all agree anyway. Tracy Morgan is brilliant on "30 Rock." But. Some of the shit he used to do (read "get away with") on SNL was all that and so much more.

Drama

As in "Drama Club." The boy was a prince. Here is the video. If we figure out how to get video off of the video camera, I'll throw some higher quality stuff up here.

Funny the Things You Remember Sometimes

The other day, for some reason, the memory of something that I *thought* I remembered, maybe, seeing as a kid (I think it was in pre-school, so quite a while ago, back where the memories are kind of fuzzy) but wasn't really sure if it ever really existed at all, popped into my head for some unknown reason. Due to the miracles of the intartubes, I was able to find out that, yes, indeed, it was real and it's available on the YouTube. Here, for your viewing pleasure, via someone else's work, I present this piece of $#!%..."Hardware Wars."





Question: Did people in the late 70's/early 80's mostly look as goofy as these fools, or was this just made by particularly goofy looking people?

Respect.

Metallica have taken a lot of flack over the last ten years or so for their uneven musical direction, inability to adapt to the digital age and really, really, drama queenish infighting, and probably some other things that I'm forgetting. But. A bunch of guys in their fifties that can still bring it like this deserve your respect:



I also saw a pretty great video of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page performing "Beck's Bolero" and Immigrant Song" that's worth looking up.

Damn.

Can someone who's got the Cartoon Network look up when this is going to be on and record it for me, please?



Because I always was a little bit irritated that a solid three minutes of each episode was devoted to the Joes and Cobras firing guns (and knives, swords, harpoons, shurikens, animals, bombs, missiles, you name it) at each other, and yet there was nary a casualty to be seen.

I'm Tryin'. Really I Am.

Does anyone else remember this dude? He used to come on Sesame Street or the Electric Company or some such once in a while when I was a kid, and I always felt kind of uncomfortable looking at him. I think it had more to do with it being a skinny guy in a body-hugging leotard who would move around in unflattering ways than it had to do with his little body-stocking displaying his organs. I wonder if he's related to Steve Guttenberg? that would probably be a good internet rumor to start :Slim Goodbody is the Gute's older brother. Try that on for size.

I really have been meaning to write some stuff here more often like I was there for a while, but my schedule's still been kind of wonky, not to mention a few other variables that have kept me from sitting zombie-like in front of computer monitor or two. Not to mention I took last week off to putter around in the shop and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Anyhow, I'm trying to keep up with splashing every last humorous, vulgar, witty, silly, disrespectful, and otherwise worthless piece of flotsam and jetsam that strikes my fancy from the far reaches of the internet, so others can laugh at my poor taste in entertainment.

You Got The Touch!

You got the power!


Fun Fact: Last year Connor would sing this to me all the time. It was awesome. I miss it. I also miss his humming of the Imperial March whenever he'd get sleepy.

Supposedly this is going to be in the new Transformers movie, so that things can come full circle. Too bad they can't bring Orson Wells back from the dead to voice Unicron as well.
Fun Fact: I recently found an old school assignment of Ethan's where he stated something like "Unicron comes along and eats the planet" and his damn teacher marked him down for misspelling "Unicorn." When's the last time you heard of a unicorn eating a damn planet, lady.

Transformers. You were about my third favorite toy growing up, yet you've managed to stay a more prevalent part of my life than the first and second favorite toys.

Effort.

Man. I was really trying to post more there for a while, but, I've been dealing with writing a grant proposal more than I've been watching cells fall into tubes™ lately, so I had to slow down. But the next time I find some inane bullshit that makes me laugh, or get around to perusing/uploading to the Flickr (or YouTube, I guess) account, I'll get something put up here. Not that there's too terribly many people that check my spot on the interwebs out.

I'll Take...

...Three please.

And Now, From The Northern European Heavy Metal Forefront

I can't decide if I think these are two of the best metal songs/videos ever, or two of the worst metal songs/videos either. Either way, they just might rock your damn face off, so watch out.


A surrealist masterpiece if ever there was one.


It is of the utmost importance that you pay special attention to the lyrics in this folk/metal hybrid.

Odd...

...I always thought it was two women singing this.

I may just go and get my hair cut like that guy's is over my lunch break.

Eat Lead

It's been a while - twenty years, give or take a year or two - since I've seen a video game that I wanted to get as soon as it was available. But, wow, can I have two, please?

Rock & Roll Party

To commemorate my turning 30 (last week on the 11th - apparently, the Ayatollahs first came to power in Iran on the day I was born. Huh.), myself and some of the other hacks (not all them are hacks like me, though) that I know are meeting up tomorrow at Captain Cook's in Saranac Lake from 4 to 8 pm to knock the foam off of a couple of pints and play some rock music. If you're reading this and you're in the area (or feel like traveling, in which case, get your ass to an airport right now), you should stop in.

This is what I hope things will sound like:


And this is what things probably really will sound like:

Only not as tight.

Hollywood Has Some Major Catching Up To Do

It all looks so real:

Randomness...With Lots Of Links

Here's a bunch of shit I've seen recently on the interwebs. I'm doing a lot of watching cells fall into tubes™ today - and all week, if you can't tell.



I'm so glad that horror movies are finally getting back to silly lots-of-blood-but-nothing-too-realistic-with-lots-of-laughs-and-irony-aplenty fare than the poop that's been churned out for the last several years. Here's an example of something new that's coming out (the f-word gets used a few times, so turn your speakers down at work).



I can totally see that playing on late night TV sometime in the future, with some dude dressed up like Baron Samadi hanging out in a crypt popping up before and after commercial breaks.

Reading this made me feel pain. Damn.

I'll take two, please.

What's that last trap supposed to do, exactly? Or is that why they're called "Booby" traps? Bad pun, bad!

I would watch this movie.

I only recognize about half of the characters seen here. Anyone want to enlighten me?

You know, I like Star Wars too, but really? How could this be necessary? How many of these people do you think are fully functioning members of society (and by fully functioning I mean "not likely to creep you out when you have to sit next to them during your lunch hour")? I'm amused that at least half of the women in the "Legion" have expressions on their face that seem to say "I can't believe I let my boyfriend dress me up in this shit."

By far one of the best ideas ever, and from Sir Elton, no less. I bet that book that's one of Jane Austen's (maybe the same one) only with added zombie carnage is pretty good to.

Yup. Half of this looks delicious, half of it looks completely vomit inducing.

That's all. If anyone still checks this out, that should keep you busy for a while. I've got some pictures to put up after lunch (I've got a looooong sort booked today, so I'll be at the computer until my eyes bleed).

Oh Man...

...Am I glad that Conan O'Brian's going to be in an earlier time slot soon. I'll still probably fall asleep before his show airs, but at least there's a chance that I'll catch brilliant stuff like this:

Music That You Don't Listen To (But Probably Should)

Mahavishnu Orchestra. Led by John Mclaughlin (who was in Miles Davis' band for a while, so you know he's solid) was an international group of jazz cats turned rockers - what those in the know call "fusion." Some people complain about the over-the-top musicianship on display here, and at times it does get a bit too technical to be all that enjoyable, but most of the time they throw in enough hooks to keep it catchy while they show off their chops. Here's a video of the whole band:

"One Word"
I'm so glad that we have YouTube now to fill in where date of birth (by the way, for anyone who cares, I turned 30 today! Boo!) has prevented me from seeing some great musicians performing in their heydays.

Here's a video of John Mclaughlin (with Al Di Meola and Paco DeLucia aka The Guitar Trio, who are also awesome in there own right. If I do this again maybe I'll find a video of something from Friday Night In San Francisco to prattle on about) playing a Mahavishnu Orchestra piece (and also one of my favorite songs, this son of a bitch plays in my head a good portion of the time, along with another Mahavishnu tune "Birds Of Fire, which I can't find a decent video of):

"Meeting of the Spirits"

Here's the same thing, electrified:

Grumpy Connor

Me: Come on Connor, smile for the camera!
Connor: Reh!
Me: But if you put the bag together, the other kids will put Valentine's candies into it later.
Connor: Rowr!
Little Girl Across The Table From Connor: Don't worry, he's always like this when he's at this school.
Me: Oh.

Current Or Not Current?

Either way, I want to go to there.

Cindy, you're getting a VCR, a gun, and a gold chain of Friday. Hope ya like it!

2nd or 3rd Greatest Thing Ever

This is no Japanese Hitler, but I think it's pretty great nonetheless. Mostly because, if given the proper tools, it's exactly the kind of thing that one of my kids would create. Hell, if given the proper tools, it's the kind of thing that I would create.

Poor Vader!

The story is that this kid Dark Lord just got done with having some teeth pulled and the drugs haven't worn off yet. I remember similar things from when I had my wisdom teeth out a few years back. If nothing else, it at least it goes to show that I'm not the only one who makes ass-holey videos of their kids Sith Lords.

Yup.

This pretty much sums up exactly how I felt about Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (although I actually didn't mind the nucular assplosion part so much, it was that ALIENS! part of the plot that didn't sit well with me).



I dunno. It had some of the familiar Indiana Jones tropes in there, and I guess it was entertaining enough. But the whole thing just seemed kind of soulless. Like decaffeinated coffee. Or non-alcoholic beer. Or Madonna.

Poor Kid

The story is that this kid just got done with having some teeth pulled and the drugs haven't worn off yet. I remember similar things from when I had my wisdom teeth out a few years back. If nothing else, it at least it goes to show that I'm not the only one who makes ass-holey videos of their kids.

We Need To Take It To Zeke Before Zeke Takes It To Us

Two unrelated news stories that might bear some looking into. Was it really hackers that did this, or did big brother step in before mass hysteria could occur? And then, if you read the second-to-last paragraph here, you'll see that something suspicious happened in Montana, as well. Damn undead bastards.

Ephemera

Is that a real person there in the left hand side of the frame? Did someone's thumb get in front of the camera lens? Am I afraid of the mutants now?



















Here's an idea. Let's try to get people to stop getting loaded and punching on their wives...By letting them pretend that they're punching on their wives while they're getting loaded.


I kind of miss living in a place where you'd see guys (and they're almost universally male) like this "practicing" in the local parks. The only excusable thing about this video is that some of these kids seem young enough that it's not too cringe inducing, and the hope for our future is that they'll grow out of it (a few of them do! I hope!). Although it concerns me a bit that they're running around with foam covered weapons and yet still timidly hopping around like a bunch of bunny rabbits. Let me tell you though, it's a breathtaking event (mostly because I was laughing so hard and trying my damnedest not too) to see a 4oolb man dressed in kilt and other "authentic" garb giving lessons on "sword play," in broad daylight, in public, with weaponry made out of PVC pipe and pipe insulators. It's also an interesting experience to walk home from the local pub with a slight buzz on a warm spring evening, taking a shortcut through a town park, and suddenly realize that you've unwittingly stepped into the middle of a group of black clad denizens of the night out re-enacting a vampire battle. At least that's what I tell myself they were doing.

Inspiring. In. Spiring.

A great video. Compelling and rich.

Flickrd

I've been meaning to keep up with my "post-more-often-even-if-its-inane-bullshit-I-saw-somewhere-else" policy, but I've actually had things other than watching cells fall into tubes&trade to accomplish this week. And the internets have been a big let down.

Anywho, one thing I've been kicking around the idea of doing for the last year or so is putting up videos of me embarrassing myself, guitar in hand, so that I'll be forced to learn complete songs. Yay or nay? and if yay, any requests? Especially for songs not typically thought of as "solo performance pieces?" It's probably something else I'll never get around to doing, but with sufficient encouragement, I can make an ass of myself for the benefit of the three people that read this blog.

All Those "Other" Times...

...When I said that something was my favorite thing ever? They don't quite cut the muster if they have to stand up to this:

Beastmaster Jr.

This is funny (and possibly involves child endangerment):

Also, it has Dio on its soundtrack, and I swear that's a cameo by Uncle Rico in there...

B&J Supersquad!

I first saw this thing about a month ago, and since then I think I've watched it about ten times and it get's better with each reviewing. I don't know what it is that I think is so hilarious, either. Maybe it's the blank stare that the guy playing the Joker does? It could be the homoerotic gym buddy jokes. It's definitely not the bad acting. Anywho, enjoy.

This Slays Me

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

The Creepy L'il Guy

Back in June I'd mentioned seeing this (fourth picture from the bottom) at "Castle Dracula" in Budapest, but I didn't have a picture handy. Now I do. What's it all mean?

Is That Bill Shakespear Sitting Over There?

What I am about to show you has got to be the single greatest thing ever printed in a comic book. It's most likely the single greatest quote ever put into print. It might be the single greatest thing ever said, thought of, or achieved by a human mind. Read all of that in your best James Lipton voice for the best effect.









































It's from a book called "Tarot." I have heard that it's a terrible comic for many different reasons. I have no inclination to ever check it out. And yet...Can one deny the power in that one word balloon?

Mask!

That's Really The Guy Who Did Flint's Voice.

I think.

I love GI Joe (except for the secret foot-stab-in-the-middle-of-the-night feature that only parents get to find out about) and I love robot chicken.

Who knew watching action figure's faces explode could be so damn funny?

The Funny

I love these guys:


If I get IO, Digital Cable...

Yup, that's the same company that put out the awesome reggaeton commercial I mentioned quite a while ago...


...Like Cindy keeps telling me I can, I'll be able to watch Flight Of The Conchords somewhere other than YouTube while I'm watching cells fall into tubes©.



The only real reason I'm posting this is because they had those guys on NPR this morning so I awoke to the sweet strains of "It's Business Time." North Country NPR is on a roll. Yesterday I woke up to them using Rodrigo y Gabriela's "Tamacun" between segments.

Desmond Finds Snow

One of the more rewarding things about being a parent is being present for those moments when your offspring experience or notice things for the first time. We took the kids sledding sometime around the end of the year and although Desmond's played in the snow before, there was something fascinating about it to him this time around.



Somebody please hook me up with some video editing software so I can piece things together better and put some nice music over the top so I can stop with all these short clips with my irritating voice as commentary!

Garden Gnomes

Who needs to buy the ceramic ones when you've got kids?



I can't remember when I took this. Obviously it was during the warmer months, we've now got loads of snow and the daytime high tomorrow is supposed to be something like 0° F. Colder than a witch's chesticle.

Halloween In January

That's right, *TWO* Batmans and a Robin (after a short conversation with a coworker, it was decided that in cases such as this it is "Batmans" and not "Batmen." Batmen would just be stupid) and some lady we met at Tupper Lake's last remaining disco.


I was only going to post the picture of the kids, then I decided to post this one as a means to explain what kind of an area that Cindy and I live in. I dressed up as a pregnant woman for our improptu "lets go eat sushi and go to one of Lake Placid's terrible night clubs" halloween celebration. Not one, but two different drunk men (both of whom had their "mate" present) suggested they'd like to take me home to perform unspeakable acts upon me. Now I know I'm pretty, but...Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking about it.

I really need to put a few of the pictures I've flickred in the last two or three months up here...

Life IS Fair!

This guy's a millionaire:


This guy ate out of a dumpster last night:




See? Life is fair!
