1. The A List – Like Entertainment Weekly for the technorati. This is a critique and commentary on what A-List bloggers are saying.
2. Must see clips – So the television doesn’t have to repaeat things ad nauseum, and you are sure not to miss anything.
3. Web 3.0 – Someone has to be first, where do you think we are headed? My guess is that we now have these channels and networks to share ideas, music and video. We need some serious content.
4. The signature blog – allow people to plug in their name and numbers and they get a new signature for their email everyday. Obviously thereare some great graphics and a link of the day.
5. Inspirational Movie Speeches – one video clip per day to get us incredibly psyched to start another boring day at the office.
Anyone else have great ideas (and no motivation to get ON their ass and start typing)?
In honor of HBO adding The Wedding Crashers to their on demand menu (which I will be watching in the background for a month straight) I would like to link the official list of the Rules of wedding crashers.
Some of my favorites are-
10. Invitations are for pussies.
23. There’s nothing wrong with having seconds. Provided there is enough women to go around.
Recently Democrats, Republicans and even newscasters have been using the term “kill Bin Laden”. I think that we all agree we need to capture Bin Laden, but calling for the death of our enmies is un-American and overly aggressive.
Not only is this objective morally wrong, but killing Bin Laden may also be strategically wrong. We are dealing with an enemy comprised of religous fanatics. Do we want to give them another high profile martyr?
This story would be funny if it wasn’t absolutely true.
You can read a previous story about my roommate here and here.
So it jsut so happens that my new roommate is being evicted from our apartment. The conviction behind the eviction is the Sal (not my roommates real name) starts fires in the apartment and is a hazard to the entire building. Of course Sal says the reason that the landlord is trying to evict him is because the apartment is under rent control and the rent is substantially lower than market value. Both angles are rather believable.
So as I return home from work this evening, rather late, I smell gas as I enter the apartment. I immediately yell out “Sal” because he smokes in the apartment, and I would prefer not to die in an explosion tonight. I look into the kitchen and see the oven door open.
I yell to Sal again. He comes around the corner of the apartment looking like I just disturbed him from an exciting game of mindsweeper. He asks whats up.
I point to the oven which is on, open and unattended and I want to know what is going on. Sal tells that he was cold so he is trying to heat the apartment. I tell him that he is seriously insane and I make a mental note to look for a new apartment on CL.
As I’m unlocking my room I ask Sal if he knows what else will warm him up besides leaving the oven open. He suggests an electric heater?
In tribute of Gary Matthews Jr. hitting for the cycle I have posted a video of Bob Dylan almost hitting for the proverbial music cycle. These performances are from the first Johnny Cash show in 1969.
Dylan plays a country song, blues song and rock ballad. Just missing the complete music cycle by not performing a rap song. Check it out anyway.
And thanks to google for following my lead and creating a entire Bob Dylan video page.
There really is nothing worse than when a company treats you like shit and then doesn’t care because they will make money anyway, with or without you. This isn’t that bad of a situation, but I wanted to post and can’t think of too much. Here is the letter I just wrote to Regal Cinema.
I was in an odd situation where I showed up to see Little Miss Sunshine at the wrong time.The shows were at 12:45 and 4:10 and I was at there at 2:10.I spoke with the girl at the ticket counter and she told me that there was no one at the 12:45 viewing so I asked if it was possible for the theater to start the movie for me at the present time 2:10.
I understand that this request is out of the ordinary, but this is an opportunity for your business.Your management could have created an extremely happy customer evangelist by taking my money and flipping a switch or they could piss off a non-customer.
What did management do?
First the girl lied to me and told me it would ruin the movie schedule.When I pressed her about run time and available time she admitted that they could run the movie and still start the 4:10 show on time.
I asked her to call the manager and he just said no (not to me, just over the walkie talkie to her).I am mad not only at the eventual outcome, but more at the way the situation was handled.
What am I going to do?
First I’m going to buy a bootleg copy of the DVD from a street vendor.Then I am going to burn copies and mail them to my friends.I am also going to copy this letter and send it to as many people as I can at Fox.If I make any friends there I will get them a copy of the DVD also.
By the way, I heard the movie is good.Is it?
What would a good company done in this situation? And if anyone wants a free bootleg just leave me a comment.
Since I move to New York it has been calling to me from deli and bodega shelves. From its initial days struggling as an under-appreciated design marvel to the top of the world via Seinfeld fame, the black and white cookie has been an enigma. Finally, a bit drunk on a Friday night, I decided to take a chance and see what the black and white cookie had to offer.
It sucks. There is no simple way to put it. The cookie is comparable to eating the candles off a birthday cake. It is definitely not worth the trip to New York.
The capt’n crunch squares are 100 times better, but there is no TV episode about them. Sorry everyone.
