“Complimentary Year Supply of Pringles, take the survey”
Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?
Lions or Cars?
I have been in a bit of a nostalgic mood lately. Not sure why. Perhaps it’s being back on the east coast (land of my childhood). So when I came across this link about a possible Voltron movie last week, I almost jumped out of my chair with glee. I just hope they don’t mess it up.
I should mention, that while I loved Voltron (only the far superior Lion version, of course), it was not my all-time favorite cartoon. That honor went to Star Blazers. Of course I don’t remember any of the plot or characters, but what I do remember is that it was a serial. It was like a soap opera for young geeks. I also remember that after each episode, all the Star Blazer fans in the neighborhood would congregate on one of the neighbor-kid’s front porches to discuss the show and re-enact key scenes. I should probably be embarrassed of this, but, man I loved that show.
Uh-Oh, Netflix has the DVDs. Poor, poor Mrs. getdonkey. This could be worse than when The Black Hole came out on DVD.
Sumer music fun-time sounds
Ever since I first started really listening to music and it became more than just background noise, I have associated songs and bands, with seasons, summer in particular. Some of these choices, in retrospect, have been unfortunate, but others are songs on albums that I still love, and others still make me want to “move my dancing feet“. This summer, the song that keeps going through my head is “Chicken Payback” by A Band of Bees. The video (which is quite cool) can be seen here: wmv or real.
I’m not sure if I love it because it’s catchy, because it has the word “monkey” in it, or because the first time I heard it I thought it was an old song from 1963. Whatever the case, it’s a great, poppy, fun song for cutting a rug at your neighborhood backyard pool party (now I sound like I am from 1963).
Wait, what's this?
This is a blog that is trying to come back to life!

- Took Nate in the voting booth. It was very cool to show him what I was doing. Hope he remembers it. I almost got a little choked up.
- Palin’s $150,000 shopping spree works out to ~ $20,000 a week. That’s one hell of a hockey mom budget even if the kid is in the NHL!
- Why does McCain have to be so angry?
- WTF is McCain talking about? He’s gonna blow!
- I never knew mavericks had such fragile emotions.
- Debate commentary: So far the CNN undecideds are flat lining on McCain and his “Joe the Plumber” story.
- http://tweetremote.com/docs/ In case you are wondering, this is what I am trying to use.
- Getting ready for the debate. I hope this one is completely unexciting. If it can’t be, I hope smoke comes out of McCain’s ears.
- Alright I think that I finally might have this working. If so, I will be able to tweet and have it post to my blog.
- another test to see if I can post to my website directly from twitter.
