All Hallows Eve Eve

Some great Jack O' Lantern ideas for those last minute carvers:

Scuba Steve

Sweet art by Justin Parpan for a Wes Anderson themed art show in San Francisco. Not only are they about they three games away from a World Series championship, they also have Steve Zissou just hanging out in the ocean. Blerg.

Keenan Thompson Appreciation Thread

While I recognize that I've scared off all my commenting friends with dozens of posts written like a 14-year-old girl on topics you could care less about, I would be remiss if I did not point out how brilliant Keenan Thompson has become. Srsly. This guy is GOLD! Leave your warm and appreciative comments for Keenan below. Thnx.

I work there! Well, not THERE, but an approximation of there.

Tracy Jordan does a commerical for my place of workship. At least in the alternate universe of 30 Rock he does. I want to go to there.

Old Posts

I've started more than a dozen blog posts over the past three weeks without finishing them. As I am sick and bedridden for the foreseeable future (I never plan ahead more than 24 hours), I will attempt to turn a few of them into actual, living blog posts. This might get confusing, timeline-wise, in the old google reader, but I think we'll manage to manage.

I am on a horse...cow.

Literally the best thing the internets have produced since Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Thank you, Sesame Street. No, thank you.

Bad Mamma Jamma

Nicole Richie may be the best TV spy bad guy since ever. At least since Sark. Chuck & Sarah? Make this lady a semi-regular!

New Young Shawn

Dear Producers of Pysch,

New young Shawn? He resembles neither old young Shawn or normal old Shawn. This is not acceptable.

Also, I apologize for being so behind on your television programme.

Sincerely,

Old Man Jonny

1600 Chairs

I don't know. It just spoke to me. It said, "Jonny, that's a hellova lotta chairs."

It's coming back, friends.

Shite on a bun. And I will love every second of it. Until I hate myself afterwards.

Big Drama in Not-So-Little China

China, Angered by Peace Prize, Blocks Celebration (NY Times)

The Chinese government...angrily described the decision to honor Mr. Liu as “blasphemy” and an insult to the Chinese people.

Mr. Liu, 54, a former literature professor who has spent the past 20 years pressing for political reform in China, is serving an 11-year sentence for “inciting subversion of the state,” based on his writings and a pro-democracy manifesto, Charter ’08, that he helped to draft. The document, which demands an end to single-party rule and calls for expanded liberties, gathered 10,000 signatures before government censors blocked its circulation on the Internet. 

Anytime the Communist Party of China is this angry, someone's doing something right. Thanks, Norway. Your pick this year has been both informative AND entertaining.

Mo' Keenan. Mo' Laughs.

Do I watch Saturday Night Live every Saturday night? No, I do not. Not live. And not even on Hulu days after. But I DO watch clips of Keenan Thompson when he pulls out another episode of "What's Up With That." Which, if you asked me, which you didn't, but if you did, is one of the best recurring comedy bits of ALL TIME. And this one had Bryan Cranston in his underwear (Breaking Bad shoutout!) and Ernest Borgnine grinning like a motherlover. Did you see what I just did there? I dodged a swear and called back to old an SNL digital short. (APPLAUSE!) Thank you web faithful, you're far too kind!

Sex, Magic and Fart Jokes

I'm unsure of the special effects and the visuals, but Julie Taymor certainly has a great eye for beauty in her films....and anything that gets The Tempest some buzz is fine by me.

(And hey! Russell Brand!)

In other news, I really shouldn't use terms like "gets some buzz" and "fine by me." Sorry, internets.
