Must Watch: Brand New Get Smart Trailer! « FirstShowing.net I don’t think they’re going to stay that faithful to the original but instead make a proper spy movie out of it. Anne Hathaway looks delicious in this. (tags: movies video) not martha – bacon cups Pretty clever creation. I’m afraid to eat it though because…

YouTube – Speed Racer Trailer Wow…. I hate this. The main actor over the top, everyone and everything is decorated like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and all the lines come from a Cliche Robot. Way to rape my childhood, Warner Brothers. (tags: movies video) ISO50 – The Visual Work of Scott Hansen » Blog Archive…

I’m sure the vast majority of you have been through this in this past year or so, today I have the sound “ella” constantly echoing through my head. Sometimes its nice and sometimes its just really annoying. Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh. It is happening today because I promised Jen that I would record…

I’ve actually been a huge Garfield fan all my life. I would read through his books feverishly, his would be the first comic I would read out of the newspaper and I even tuned into the Garfield and Friends tv show. One of the internet links floating around at the moment is Garfield Minus Garfield….

Seattlest: At Long Last, Thank McGod, Grey’s Anatomy is Coming Back “A friend, eating at some hip restaurant in Belltown when they spotted BOTH McDreamy and McSteamy at a nearby table.” Omgomgomg hot middle-aged pretend doctors eating overpriced seafood.

YouTube – Network – Mad as hell I keep seeing this clip being referenced but up until now, I’ve been completely ignorant as to what it was about. I still don’t know the context of the movie but I think it is a good message. (tags: video movies) Speak On It: So, It’s Been 5…

“Just as I’m getting more and more comments from other bloggers, I have run out of blogosoup.” This is what went through my head as I washed the dishes this morning. Then I tried imagining what blogosoup would taste like. What kind of potion could you create to cure writer’s block? Something worth talking about….

Why We Banned Legos – Volume 21 No. 2 – Winter 2006 – Rethinking Schools Online This is absolutely brilliant. Exploring ideas of power and society in children all based around building a community out of Lego. I love how seriously the teachers take this and how they spent 5 whole months decided on how…

I am updating and re-posting old blog entires with new titles. This was originally posted on 26 October 2004 and was titled A Walk in the Park. Sounds of children playing and laughing. The stage is filled with the usual sounds of a park in the afternoon. A BOY and a GIRL walk casually through…

The elusive G spot really does exist, say researchers | Science | The Guardian I love how the doctor refers to a clitoral orgasm as a “normal orgasm”. Admittedly, 20 women is a pretty small sample size but I guess this could lead to something. (tags: women)

Yesterday was officially a Bad Day for me. Maybe it was one paper cut too many or maybe it was the one-two punch dealt early in the day but I felt terrible. I spent the remaining hours with my head down, working hard and repressing these uncomfortable feelings. I shifted them to the bottom of…

Currently my job doesn’t involve interacting with clients or the public at large. But I do wonder what would happen to my blog if I had to take on greater responsibility and become a semi-public figure. The first hit on Google for my name is this blog, the second is my Twitter. That’s a good…

Twitter / Merlin Mann: Every time you sniff and sa… “Every time you sniff and say somebody has ‘too much free time,’ the part of you that used to love making things for pure joy dies a little.” Twitter can read like a book of quotes sometimes. (tags: inspiration art)

To Pink and Red From Black and Blue « Damsel in Digress Warning: long post but totally worth the time. Damsel continues to crank out these posts that are just so genuine and honest and open. I’m left crying into my keyboard and wondering why I can’t make put my life into words like she…

Like I said, I went speed dating. It’s been a few days and I got my results… zero matches for a second date, one match for friendship and zero matches for business. Let’s just clarify that when I say “matches”, I mean “matches”. I don’t find out if someone ticked me for a second date…

Meet Obama Mike cranks out another brilliant blog post, this time on why Obama resonates with him. Hell of a story. (tags: politics) YouTube – john.he.is McCain parody of the Obama “Yes We Can” song.

I can’t give anything away but tomorrow night is going to be good blog post fodder. All I can say right now is that this will probably be as stupid as the time I blogged about taking a dance lesson. I have a serious case of butterflies about tomorrow so there’s still a chance I…

Volkswagen – When was the last time you just went for a drive? This TV ad is undeniably fantastic, so thanks to Dennis for reminding me about it. The poetry, the restrained emotion and the gravelly delivery all focused on one of life’s more simple pleasures: driving home on empty streets. My drive home on…

Hey, this blog thing actually works! After my gushing over Ingrid Michaelson, I was contacted by someone who’s involved with promoting her and they told me she would be available for a live chat on her MySpace this weekend. It’s a good thing they emailed me because I don’t have MySpace but I would sign…

YouTube – Half life: Full Life Consequences Retarded Half Life 2 fanfic. This is hilarious if you can make sense of it. (tags: games video humor)

NSFW links: I’ve linked Todger Talk a few times before in the sidebar, I found these guys via The Girl. I like Todger Talk because it’s an attempt at opening the dialogue up to men. The site is not without its faults and a few incorrect male assumptions but overall, its heart is in the…

Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies Looks hilarious. Would be amazing if he actually found him but if he actually did, he’d have turned him in by now. Maybe he stumbled on a few clues or a brief glimpse to make the movie interesting enough. (tags:…

I believe this dream is a continuing one but I’m not sure. It’s some sort of weird spy game. I’m with friends amongst a larger group of strangers and we’re doing touristy things or team-building exercises as part of the group. But the activities are being organized by a sinister power that is toying with…

So of course, Sarah jokes in her typical way: hilarious offensive premise stretched to the point where it kind of…

A week ago, I visited Match.com. The slogan on their ad campaign goes something like, “It’s ok to look!” And I read somewhere that you can browse profiles without signing up and I thought, “You know what, television? It is ok to look.” Now, I’ve spent my entire life online. I’ve heard all sorts of…
