I Tried To Stay In The Car. I Really Did!

Blog
* He's lying, you know. He didn't try to stay in the car AT ALL. Title is from Castle, which got renewed!

People I Love
* Kelly Osbourne looks awesome (and I want her hair), her fiancee is adorable and practically clear he is so pale and blonde, and her dress amuses me to no end:

[Found at World of Wonder]
Really, how do I get that hair color? We as a society need to make this happen.

* When did sneakers become so amazingly cool again? And can we possibly get some Firefly sneakers? OOH, or Doctor Who-themed Converse, in honor of David Tennant? I HAVE SHOE IDEAS THAT THE WORLD NEEDS. Ahem. Here are Paper Mario Nikes:

Oh, but my Imaginary Sneakers Of Super Awesome wouldn't be almost $200. That amount of money doesn't exist! HAHA.... I want to go shopping.

* Here's a guide for watching porn on your iPad at work. I don't have an iPad, I don't watch porn (especially at work), and to be honest the fact that this article exists makes me want to sob over the fate of society. People, please: WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HOME TO ENJOY PORNOGRAPHY. Or at least aren't at work. I know it's about office work, but I just keep thinking about airplane pilots doing this, and I have ENOUGH PLANE ANXIETY AS IT IS, OK?

Life Lessons
* I love Spongebob, and I will not apologize for that. Plankton and Squidward are brilliant. And after a long day at work, sometimes I want to watch a talking sponge go jellyfishing with a squirrel, OK? I DON'T JUDGE YOUR LIFE. And while there are endless jokes involving Spongebob, and drugs, few are quite so accurate. Here's your handy guide for the spongey chemicals.:

[Found at Friggin Random]
Oh, and one episode definitely had a joke about Spongebob innocently delivering drugs to Patrick. For reals.

WTF, INTERNET
* Ladies and gentlemen, I present a reusable Pokemon Maxi Pad. So when women have their period, they look at Pikachu:

[Found at Neatorama]
This is either the best thing or the worst thing ever to have happened in the history of the universe. I don't know. I can't decide. It's sort of hilarious, and entertaining, but it's Pokemon and I don't know. I'm more alarmed that someone looked at a Pokemon and decided to create a maxi pad. Who looks at Pikachu and thinks, "Wow, I'd love to BLEED ALL OVER THAT ONCE A MONTH?" I DEMAND AN ANSWER. Or maybe not. Maybe some things are best left unknown.
And maybe it's just me, but I don't much like the idea of Pokemon leaping into my lower orifice.

* If Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Metallica all had a huge orgy and then a hideous freak baby emerged from that unholy union, this is what we'd get:

I've named it MetalliGaga. Featuring Beyonce.

TeeVee
* I am full of conflict. For years, FOX has been the Evil TV Overlord. They cancel ALL the shows I love, and make me cry, and fuck up the order of the episodes they do air (remember what they did to Firefly? DO YOU?) or they cut the number (Arrested Development) and basically take every show I love and shit all over it, leaving me a miserable and angry fangirl shouting into the void of the internet, while Life, Unexpected gets renewed on the CW (I have never seen this show, but the commercials were so obnoxious that I hate the show forever now) (CW is still the WB, no matter what ANYONE says).

But the winds are changing. No, really. This year, FOX made Glee, and they renewed Human Target AND Lie To Me, when common sense insisted that one of them would get the axe, which made me enormously happy, because now I have snarky British Tim Roth AND Jackie Earle Haley on a weekly basis. So apparently FOX is taking a break from making me sad, since they already cancelled Dollhouse a while back.

BUT BUT now NBC is being dickish. As I mentioned, they cancelled Heroes. And while I love the show (I have to admit Igave up this season because I had no idea what was going on, and nobody seemed to have any clue what they were doing, and Hiro was sad all the time, and Sylar was more whiny than insane/sexy, among other reasons) it was time for it to go. It had a good few years (its first season remains genius) and deserves to step out with dignity (and a return of Christopher Eccleston as Crazy Invisible Pigeon Man Of Secks?).

Unfortunately, NBC has decided to steal the Dickish Network title from FOX, for reasons I cannot comprehend, and is just ENDING the series on a CLIFFHANGER, and not even giving us a series finale TV movie episode THING. AND THAT IS HORSE-SHIT. LV DOES NOT APPROVE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. The show was really good, and juggled some very complex (occassionally demented) plot lines, and ROBERT FORRESTER WAS A VILLAIN, DUDES. AND SULU WAS ON IT. SULU. SULU WILL FUCK A BITCH UP. God dammit, I'm remembering how much I used to love the show.

OK, new plan: Sylar and Peter Petrelli team up and fight the NBC Executive assholes, shirtless, and Hiro makes that adorable wobbly face, and Sulu KILLS EVERYONE, and then the cute boys all kiss, and Claire falls down a well (OH, and Ali Larter, who does not have a power but a DISORDER) the end.

I miss Heroes.

Always Be Yourself, Unless You Suck.

* The world would be so much better if more people followed this simple rule. Title is from Joss Whedon.

* THE BLOG IS BEING UPDATED. THE FOURTH HORSEMAN IS SHOWING UP (actually, if you watch Supernatural, he already showed up, with pizza!). I will be explaining the long absence, but a lot of it is Super Sekrit At The Moment, so just pretend I have been busy knitting and touring the world and living a fabulous life of decadence.

[Found at Regretsy]
So... it's $10.00 in money, prettily folded. But you're charging $20.00 PLUS shipping and handling? It's like a riddle. WHERE DOES THE EXTRA $10.00 go? Is this just a test? To see if someone would pay money FOR MONEY OF A LESSER AMOUNT?
I'm not even dealing with the fact that it's shaped like a cross. There's only so much I can handle.

Politics
* So, remember that politician Dave Vitter? And how he got off on wearing diapers around prostitutes?

[Found at Wonkette]
Nothing's going on with him. I just like to remind people that America has a United States Senator who enjoys wearing diapers for sexytimes. That's all. Carry on.

Ad!Fail
* In the following ad, a cucumber is hiding in the shower while a nakedish lady panics because her boyfriend/husband is going to walk in and find her fornicating with the salad:

A few notes, dear readers:
A) OUCH.
B) EW.
C) All I can think is, does the cucumber have a penis, or is the woman pleasuring herself with anthropomorphic vegetables? Because the paramedics should be on call.
D) I have no interest in purchasing any product that assumes I want to get naked around fruits or vegetables. And now I'm afraid of salads. Well done.

I am also very happy we are flashing back, because I no longer have to spend each week worrying if Karl will live or not. I'm sure you appreciate that as well.

'Hey, Mommy! Look at me!'
'L! HOW DID YOU GET UP ON THE ROOF WITH YOUR MOTORCYCLE?'
Point is, this is going to end badly. Either make it go faster, or include detailed instructions on the many ways Evel Knievel injured himself over the years, so dumb-ass parents can't sue. Just a thought.

Anyway, they named it BALDRICK, which is genius (and I'm not explaining it. If you don't know, Google it.), and in this video of a handler moisturizing its skin, it looks like a GIANT TURD.

Oh, wow. I just READ the interlude, and artist Paul Duffield UNDERSTANDS the pain he is putting us through. He expected my rage. Truly he is a minor wizard, learning at the mad, terrifying side of Mr. Ellis. Also, there's new stuff at the FREAKANGELS store, and I can pretend I have the money to buy such things.

And the FREAKANGELS WALLPAPER is pretty.

[Found at Topless Robot]
This may be the ultimate fandom cake, but it's also the weirdest one I've seen EVER. I'm a member of MULTIPLE fandoms, and I have to say, I've never been inspired to eat the organs of any of the characters.

Also, is that a tiny Luke Skywalker jammed in there? Do not want. You can eat that. Really. I'm not hungry.

Sequel!Fail
* Dear Eddie Murphy:
Remember when you were funny and awesome and sort of brilliant? And you made movies like Coming to America and Trading Places and 48 Hours? Those were good movies.

Then something happened. Maybe you tried a new drug and had an allergic reaction. Maybe you spent to much time rolling around naked in money. I don't know your life. But you started making bad movies. Really bad movies. The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Norbit (WHICH WON AN OSCAR, A FACT I AM STILL INSANE ABOUT). Meet Dave.

Now you're planning Beverly Hills Cop 4. The first Beverly Hills Cop is fun, in that 'it's a crappy movie but it doesn't take itself seriously at ALL' way that certain movies can cultivate.

I doubt the fourth one will be good. The second and third weren't good. I still have the VHS for the second movie, for reasons I don't understand, and really, not your finest hour. Maybe work on good movies? Or take a nap? I think you could use a nap.

Plus, I refuse to see Dreamgirls because I hate two of the actors in it. Not you, Mr. Murphy, but you aren't exactly endearing yourself to me.

Make a good movie again? Please?

* So I don't think I should play this game:

[Found at Boing Boing]
Because it starts out as a joke, then I get obsessive, then you find me standing on the roof in a mini-skirt with high boots and a homemade crown, pretending I'm Tina Turner from Beyond The Thunderdome. Which has nothing to do with this game, but now I sort of think this would be a great way to spend the day. Who has a flame-thrower I could borrow?

Movie!Win
* I am sickeningly excited about the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It looks gorgeous. I love Terry Gilliam (But I'm still happy he didn't direct Watchmen) and I even sit through his terrible movies that make no sense and sadden me with their sort of awful (coughcoughTIDELANDcoughcough)(SERIOUSLY. Did you see that movie? WHAT WAS GOING ON?)

And I thought Heath Ledger was a fantastic actor. Did you see his performance in Monster's Ball? (I could mention the more obvious, but let me just say, again, that he was SHAFTED out of an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain. Think what you will about the movie, or the hype, but I loved it and I cried and I LOVED it.

Anyway, here's the trailer for Imaginarium:

I can't wait for it to come out. Even if it might make me cry. Because 10 Things I Hate About You was on TV the other day, and when the part came on where Mr. Ledger sings, I started bawling. But that might be my problems talking.

Childhood!Fail
* WOW, BBC. WOW.

The BBC has defended a decision to change the ending of nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.

A version used on the CBeebies channel was altered so rather than "couldn't put Humpty together again" all the King's horses "made Humpty happy again".

WOW. I highly doubt that it was done for 'creative reasons' as you claim. I mean, COME ON. HE'S AN EGG. YOU CANNOT PUT EGGS BACK TOGETHER.

Also, it's a metaphor. Also, BBC, Little Miss Muffet was NOT friends with the spider. WHY ARE YOU TURNING MOTHER GOOSE INTO A HOUSE OF LIES?!

Wow
* I saw The Others, mostly because of Christopher Eccelston, and it was a good and creepy movie. But I don't like to see ACTUAL pictures of dead people. Especially when you pose them. You shouldn't pose the dead. I feel very strongly about this. And opening their eyes so they STARE at you? It just freaks me out. A lot. I'm sorry, but it does. Now I want to watch The Others again. That was a damn good movie.

And no, I'm not posting pictures. They make me sad. Especially the little kids posed with their siblings. Click the link to see. Historically, it's a fascinating trend. Personally, I'm glad it's over.

TeeVee
* Red Dwarf is on Netflix Instant Watch, thus pulling me back from the brink of madness after a day of miserable working. I love Red Dwarf, and Arnold Rimmer in particular (shut up. No, really.)

That in no way means I like the idea of 'specials,' or that I will watch a special of Red Dwarf. I mean, I lost interest around the time they brought back Lister's girlfriend, played by another actress. And then Rimmer LEFT, and I was sad, predictably.

Point is, I'll just watch the first few seasons again. You guys can watch the special.

* Behold, the power and the glory of Ralph Wiggum when joined with Kid Robot:

We are speechless before his glory.

Awesome
* SEND ALL THE CLOWNS TO THE MOON. LET THEM SQUEAK THEIR TERRIFYING NOSES ON MARS. WITH THE NAKED BLUE PEOPLE.

I dislike clowns.

Is today over yet?
