At one point, I thought that people would read my blog just because I could find crazy little videos and “tidbits”, as I so cleverly referred to them. Now I think I realize that everyone has their own source of internet funny and weird and I just don’t have enough time to feed your habits.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that I’ve worked through caring about whether or not anyone reads this so, now as a liberated blogger, I can post whatever the crap I want. Especially all that personal life garbage that no one cares about because they have plenty of their own.

Things going on in my life: I got an assistantship at school doing web design. It’s pretty awesome. I get to listen to music and fix code all day and they pay for my school and then some. ‘Tis a good deal. I’m going to Michigan tomorrow for Stephanie’s grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. It’s going to be a long, cold drive but since it’ll give me many un-interruptible hours with my wife … it’ll be great. I am missing the season premier of LOST right now because I’m working in a computer lab at school … and there’s no one here. Actually, I would rather there be no one here and get paid to hang out with myself (basically) … but couldn’t they just pay me to hang out at home? : ) I have about two episodes left in season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. What a freaking awesome show. When we first got back into it with season 3 (we finished the first two in September) I wasn’t all that emotionally invested. Now, however, I’m so engrossed it’s ridiculous. Unfortunately, the magazine Rolling Stone managed to half-way ruin my excitement about the season finale. My brother told me that you find out who several of the other cylon models are in the last episode. In Rolling Stone’s recap of TV in 2007 they listed Battlestar as one of the best shows/moments of the year. They made some comment about the season finale being great and then proceeded to simply list several characters names with exclamation points. No disclaimer. No spoiler alert. No warning. Just names. As realization slowly dawned on me what I was reading I yelled aloud, closed the magazine, pushed it away from me, and looked at my wife with the saddest of sad faces. The people who wrote that section of that issue are BASTARDS. It’s just wrong to take something like that away from a fan. And that’s all I have to say about that.

I’ve added Andrew Bird into my music catalog from my new releases pile (see two posts ago). He has a pleasant baritone and a great indie-pop sensibility. Several of his songs have been lodged in my brain with all of their hook-tasticness. He does a good job of using instrumentation to his advantage and creating something rather unique out of a simple progression. I recommend checking him out. I have his “Armchair Apocrypha” album and the song “Plasticities” is catchy and pleasant.

Also, the songwriting is still going well with the band. We’re touching on some new and different genres for us in our exploration. Writing with cheap microphones/software and sending parts over email can get tiring and confusing though. I look forward to the coming weekends where we will have some face to face time to piss each other off, instead of via email : ) (That was a joke, in case you missed it) I’m excited to get to share what we’ve been working on with you all soon.

What I can share with you now are some funny videos that friends (Stevo, Evan) have showed me recently. I hope you find them as funny as I did.

In case you aren’t one of the 13 million people who have already seen this, there is a fantastic David Blaine spoof on youtube. There’s also a part 2 and 3. Almost as good as the first.

Here’s an energy drink “ad” for Powerthirst. It is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on youtube in a while.

CRASS WARNING: Charts that humorize hip-hop lyrics. The explanation/description makes no sense but it’s totally worth it.

I’d love to hear your comments on Battlestar, new music, funny youtube clips, and cool things going on in your own lives.
