aww yeah.

spent sunday at a local carnival, so i edited together a few video clips to go along with the ditty bops, whom i think actually make perfect carnival music (and if you’ve ever seen them, you might agree that they could possibly be carnies…), even though it’s not intended to be. there was cotton candy and ferris wheel rides and gravitron puking – you know, typical carnival stuff. there were also fireworks to finish the night off. good times.

(ps – it wasn’t as empty as it looks, we just went really early. the afternoon/evening was packed.)
(pps – the chick at 1:04 is a carnie – a carnie in a scrunchie. it doesn’t get much more awesomely white trash than that.)

things found around the interweb:
A Mortal Kombat ending you may not remember:

Johnny Depp to play Riddler in new Batman; Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays Penguin. Christopher Nolan continues to be a genius.

Gary Coleman likes to run people over when he’s angry at them. That’s how he rolls.

Henry Rollins, lead singer of Black Flag turned professional letter-writer, admits to being pen pals with Charles Manson. Who, while a complete pyschopath, is an infinitely-cooler pen pal than Anne Culter.

Stop motion Simpsons intro Lego style:

Ghostbusters 3 is being made and the writers of The Office are scripting it. And that? Is the dooby dank sauce.

maybe i should have swept the floor first.

the full documentary of the eccentric stanley kubrick’s obsession with behind the scene footage, perfectionism, and his infinite number boxes and the content thereof, has finally been released.

you can view it full length on google videos: click here.

non-film geeks probably couldn’t care any less, so don’t bother, especially if you don’t even know who stanley kubrick is. but to anyone who does, it’s fascinating to get a peek into part of the strange and work-o-maniac bastard director’s mind.

what wouldn’t i do for the job of stanley kubrick’s scout photographer? my god.

and since we’re on the kubrick subject, if you have not yet seen the stanley kubrick documentary: a life in pictures, then you obviously care too little about film making and have way too much of a life. you should fix that.

I’m really pissed at Obama. Why? Because the dude just passed up on the opportunity to run the baddest motherfucking ticket in the history of the US by choosing some crusty old dude who’s been in the senate longer than I’ve been alive rather than someone who kicks major ass. (Awesome CHANGE so far.) God no, I’m not talking about Hillary Clinton. I said someone who kicks major ass, not who is married to a major ass.

Here are the top 5 people I’m devastated never even made it onto his short list.

1. Christopher Walken.

Hands down, the best Vice Presidential nominee. Can’t you hear the acceptance speech already?

“I’d like to thank… everyone… for this… Oh, WOW!… Look!… It’s a… Marsupial!… Or perhaps…. A Squirrel? … I can never… tell the difference… I’ve got… gravy… on my tie… I knew… my dry cleaners… were lying, dirty whores…. but hey… whatever the people want… the people get…”

Seriously, anyone who adds Walken to their ticket gets my vote. Even Nader.

2. Samuel L. Jackson.

NO ONE in their right minds would mess with us with Samuel L Jackson in the White House. Even our own criminals would have no other choice than to cowar in the corner with their blankeys. The sound bites alone would be completely worth it.

“VP Jackson, what is your stance on prisoner abuse in Guantanamo?”
“YES I BELIEVE THEY DESERVE TO DIE, I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!!!”

“I’M TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKIN’ EARMARKS! IN MY MOTHERFUCKIN’ BUDGET!”

Gunshots on the senate floor when the stupid assholes there argue instead of getting shit done. “Oh, I’m sorry! Did I break your concentration?!”

“Mr VP Jackson, how do you suggest we handle these nations that threaten us and the rest of the world?”
“Simple. AK-47. When you absolutely have to kill every last motherfucker in the room? Accept no substitutes.”

“Do you read the bible, Kim Jung Il? …. There’s a passage I like to read from time to time, Ezekial 25:17…”

That’s one bad motherfuckin’ vice president.

3. Mr T.

Fuck “Don’t Mess With Texas”. Bush is like the mascot for Mad magazine compared to T (and also not compared to T). Mr T eats terrorist and nuke-happy country omlettes for breakfast and washes them down with drug dealing rapist pedophile corporate embezzler shakes. He pities the fool who be jivin’ on his policies and he don’t take no jibba jabba. Word.

4. Ron Burgandy.

Think of all the laughs. The possibility of jokes is infinite. And whenever someone would argue one of his stances with a logical point, he would argue with “AGREE TO DISAGREE!”. This is a no-brainer, people.

5. Christian Bale. Preferably in the Batman suit, but not entirely mandatory.

Don’t argue me on this one. I’m female. And my political scruples are strong until eye candy enters the room. Besides, just think about how badass Airforce One would be.

i can never get enough of watching skaters use their faces as landing pads no matter how many videos i see. what i want to know is when they’re gonna start learning the basic human instinct of putting your arms out to break your fall rather than using your face to break your… well, face.
