I guess it would be crass to title this "When I Fall"...

Wow, sucks to be a Barenaked Lady:

Ed Robertson involved in small-plane crash

(lookee! I'm blogging again! from my wireless internet! whee! now, if only my furniture would arrive, like they said it would... sigh...)

well...

here's a video recap of the Cardo cell phone stuff. I really would like to see that banana video, though. A cursory search of Youtube was fruitless. *rimshot*

In other news, everybody round up your felines and set your tivos!

that can't be healthy.

um...yikes.



anyone (hi, matt!) want to verify this with a real-life experiment?


edited to add: this was a VIRAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN?? thanks, Cardo, for making it even more difficult to defend the marketing profession...we're not all evil, I promise!

I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal...

... and I remember thinking, "Wow, you're ridiculously good-looking. Maybe you could do that for a career."

I just got an email from Kaplan. They want me to come into Manhattan in June and get interviewed for promotional materials, and take some portraits for the Kaplan website. Apparently there will be professional makeup people there and everything. How fun is that?

I just hope I'll have time to perfect my Blue Steel. And that by the end, no one is reading my eugoogly.

Remember: Words can only hurt if you try to read them. Don't play their game.

some truly awful songs make me twitch, but this is ridiculous

hey, brainman, want to weigh in?

woman cured of seizures caused by reggae

yeah, so this woman really likes sean paul (pre-wikipedia'ed for your convenience...you're welcome, dani :-P), but when she started having mad seizures whenever she listened to his songs, she started getting suspicious. I don't know if it's more ridiculous that she thought her seizures were caused by this one particular singer or that it actually turned out to be true.

I guess this just goes to show that one day, if you're not careful, the rhythm *is* eventually gonna get you. be careful, kids.

EXTREME eating

Matt, maybe you want to try these next?

(Be sure to click on the caption under the photo for full effect.)

the internet is for craziness

...wait, have *any* of you seen "avenue q"? 'cause otherwise the subject line's not going to make any sense. see it today! now! *whip cracking*

anywho, I've been running across interesting articles at work, but since blogging about non-work things at work (and using the competition's blogging service, even) would probably be ill-advised, I've been collecting them to post from home. prepare to be...well, maybe not wowed, but at least mildly amused:

AT&T bills suck for all phones, but I prefer to blame this craziness on the awesomely awesome but way too expensive iPhone, and

thanks to an ingenious hacker, wikipedians (and, by extension, the rest of us) can now tell when you edit your own entry (and add poop jokes to others). whoopsies.

Guess who I just saw...

... on an episode of the second season of Lois and Clark? That would be none other than David Bowe (NOT David Bowie), star of UHF, playing an evil opthamologist that blinds Superman. I'm watching as I post, so I can't tell you how it turns out... but I am on the edge of my seat.

im in ur webzine, becomin legit

...okay, that was a weak one. but look! slate.com has discovered the coolness of random photos with nonsensical captions!

in other bizarro-land news, you can buy your own fake sleeping, snoring pet for the low, low price of $45!

is anyone as creeped out as I am?

this horse has better rhythm than I do.

it's a horse

being ridden by a man in (I assume) formal riding gear

dancing to "lady marmalade."

*head asplodes*

uh...yeah. enjoy.

for a livelier discussion of britney-related stuffs...

...check out the results of Stereogum's Photoshop Britney contest. ha!

huh.

maybe she *did* have a compelling reason for shaving her head. a stupid reason, and one which only serves to prove why she needed drug testing in the first place, but still a reason. there's hope yet!

uh, matt, care to comment?

can you *honestly* say she's still hot? yes, the ratty uncombed hair is gone, but...it's GONE. as is she. completely gone. she also threw up in her car last weekend and then WENT OUT TO PARTY SOME MORE. if guys can look at that and still find the vomiter (and then partier) even remotely attractive, there is no f-ing way I should be single.


PS -- I am totally digging this post-label thingy.

update: cnn.com has the whole sordid head-shaving story here.

also...

this has been a ridiculous news week. when will it end???

is anyone else following this?

I just think this is the perfect blend of tragic and awesome. people are CRAZY...and so creative about it!
