What Would Jesus Buy?

Here's a new movie by the Super Size Me guy. It seems like something they'd be talking about on Public Radio. I saw a couple articles and it seems kinda funny.

Here's the trailer:

Boston Puppy

Yesterday on my walk I came in contact with a Boston Terrier puppy. He was super cute and wobbling around. He had a little christmas sweater on and licked my hand when I pet him. Super cute! Little guy with a red sweater.

I've been helping Andy set up a new computer and fixing his set-up at his bookstore. His dad still controls everything but I worry that they'll be out of business soon because it's so gross and dumpy there. They haven't updated anything for years and Andy told me once that he thinks they only make about $10,000 a year after all the bills are paid. They aren't willing to do anything to keep up with the times. It kind of makes me feel bad but I can't do anything about it.

The featured puppy is "Sweet Potato" from the Humane Society. She's a Jack/Rat Terrier mix and is really cute! I'm sure she'll be adopted by the end of the day.

Hope you got to Californie safely.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! It's snowing here. It's the first snow of the year where it's making the ground white. I love the first few snows of the year (until it gets bone chillingly cold).

The paper came packed with "doorbuster" sale ads. Can you believe that some stores are opening at four o'clock AM and most at five AM? That's nuts. "Who ahhhrree these people?" (say that in a bad stand-up Jerry Seinfield voice). Who needs to buy Spider-man 2 or Mystic Pizza on DVD for $2.49 at 5 in the morning? That would be crazy zombie people who are terrible consumers, if you will. I had to figure out a way to use "if you will". I did hear "actually" on some news story the other day. I still haven't heard "if you will" in the wild yet.

I'm on my second year of doing a Thanksgiving Fiesta! Last year was probably the nicest Thanksgiving I've had in years. I don't make turkey or any of the "traditional" thanksgiving foods, if you will (doesn't really work here but I'm trying to be funny). I make tacos! I've never been a big fan of turkey and yams. I don't think you like yams do you? They seem like something mushy you wouldn't like. And instead of trying to be Martha Stewart, if you will, I get to do something new and fresh. Tacos! Yummy! Since I'm not eating yucky turkey it doesn't remind me of the past yucky turkeys I've had to choke down. Turkey, cranberries, and pumpkin pie is about as appetizing as sushi to me. It just doesn't make me excited to eat. I'll be muchin' on Tacos with all the fixings.

Fossile of Big Bug

Thought this was cool. Bugs are all basically versions of ocean animals like shrimp, crabs, lobsters, etc... that have evolved on land. Can you imagine a bug this big? Cool, dude!

Mr. T Does Warcraft Ad

Here's a link to Mr. T's Warcraft ad. Warcraft is the massively mulitiplayer online nerd wizard game I play with Marc. It's a phenomenon and I've spent many o' hours online playing with Marc or any number of other nerds across the globe. Doin' quests, gaining XP (experience), killin' a plethora o' enemies, stomping through dungeons looking for treasure, and havin' fun. It's probably the most entertaining game ever made (in a Napoleon Dynamite voice).

BTW, I'm a level 59 (70 is the top) Night Elf Warrior named "Plural". Looks like Mr. T's character (in the commercial, I'm sure he doesn't play) with regular "elf hair" instead of a mohawk.

Art and Miracles

Yes, I absolutely agree with you that babies are miracles. All babies... even scorpion babies and eel babies. Piggy babies too! Every aspect of life is a miracle but babies are super-miracles!

I love art! There was a show about modern art in HD tonight on PBS. I love the absurdity and preposterousness of modern artists. There were some great artists featured. I am always forever fascinated by your stigmas against certain things in our world. I would bet dollars to donuts that you have some sh-opinions about "art" and they aren't positive.

I love installation art. Maybe it's because I worked at MCAD and all those weirdo kids were so into what they were doing. I don't know. I hate art people. I don't even know any famous artists. I have very limited knowledge of "the art" but I love it.

Art is anything you want it to be. It's only you who has to decide what it means (if anything) to you. You don't have to know anything and you don't have to be able to explain it. You can enjoy a symphony without knowing how to play a violin, right? You decide if you like it or not. That's it. Art is freedom. You're not supposed to think anything or feel anything other than what you want to feel when you are enjoying (or hating) it. It's only what you want it to be.

My favorites forms of art are: Installations, really old religious paintings, old "masters" paintings, super cute commercial designs and characters (like chubby stars with smiley faces), guitar shapes, absurdist stuff, surrealism like Dali, and sketch drawings and doodles, and comic books from the 1960s and 70s. What are yours?

Guy Singing California

This is sure to put you in a bad mood. Corny guy singing "California". I couldn't stop laughing but I think it's really noble. It's really easy to suck, even if you learn the whole song and sing it. I'm still laughing.
