Movies I’m excited for: The Wackness

I can’t wait to be blasting this soundrack walking around Central Park this summer like it’s 1994. And, I agree - this movie is so much better than most stuff you’ll see in theaters this summer. Sir Ben kills it and Josh Peck gives it life. But more than a coming-of-age tale, this is a true period piece and just how different life was in this city 12 years ago. Set your calendars and check it out, July 3rd.

“And never trust someone who says they don’t like dogs! I did, and I divorced her!” - Dr. Squires (Sir Ben)

Discover Your Something

milkwasabadchoice:

Apparently there is a website where you purchase “something” for a $10 flat fee but you do not know what it is until you receive it. They claim you can receive a variety of things from a shiny shower curtain (yes!) to a pair of designer jeans (how do they know my size?) to a unique home decor item (hmm… now I’m suspicious).

Basically, some genius figured out a way to get rid of a bunch of crap they never use. Over 7,000 “somethings” have been ordered since November. This is intriguing.

“ Being on a major label at the moment is like living in your grandparents’ house. Everyone knows they need to move out, and they will eventually, but we kind of like our grandmother.

Mel Gibson and Britney Spears took a private plane out of LA this morning to spend two days together in Costa Rica.

You could just mash your forehead into the keyboard and never come up with a more random sentence than that.

» Update: Lori Drew Indicted in MySpace Suicide Case

danhacker:

“If convicted on all four counts, Drew could face up to 20 years in federal prison”. Convict her of all counts and put her away. Sam Waterston needs to show up and prosecute the hell out of this case ‘Law & Order’ style.

I had posted about this case before, when it happened. I’m glad to see some people held accountable for their evil internet use.

Weezer - Surf Wax America

The Blue Album was the first cd I ever owned.

The first cd I ever owned was “Timeless” a collection by Eric Clapton. I WISH it had been the The Blue Album. This song reminds me of driving around in my hand-me-down tan ford contour sedan during the summer, and getting together with friends to wash our “new” cars - Weezer was always playing.

Yesterday, Amit Gupta had a great suggestion to include thumbnails on Video posts in the Dashboard:

I love Tumblr, but I almost never watch the videos people post. But I click on photos to see the bigger version all the time.

Video posts could really use a still frame to give you a peek at what’s inside.

Anyone else feel this way?

We were already doing this with videos uploaded to Tumblr. Now we’ll also show thumbnails next to YouTube videos.

Thanks, Amit!

Anyone else think these recent updates/improvements (see Tags, yesterday) are just in time for us all to have something to yak excitedly about tonight? Just saying, the timing is coincidental, but I’m all for them!

Wow, what a concept. Can be used for good or evil, I’m sure.

Dear Tumblr,

Sorry for all the drama.

The last time I was dating, there was no Facebook and only a few people knew what a LiveJournal was, so I’ve had to find my way around not posting everything I feel to such a public space as soon as I feel it. Doing so doesn’t make anyone look good and while I respect those that can handle it, I seem to fit into the latter category of those that can’t.

I’ve learned my lesson. Have a great Friday and weekend - I’ll see some of you at the NYC MeetUp tonight.

LipDub 3 - My Flight of the Conchords Rooftop Rap on Vimeo (via Vimeo)

Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros (feat. Hiphopopotamus and the Rhymenoceros)

Consider this my Friday present to you, all of my readers, as a thank you for sticking around. It combines two things I know you all love: Flight of the Conchords and Me.

I spent a lot of time on these two minutes, and hope you love it as much as I do. For everyone going to the meet-up tonight, I’d especially hope you’d check it out, if for nothing more than to have just another thing to make fun of me for tonight (as if I don’t give you enough to work with).

“ Suck on it, Clintstones. And note to the rest of America — we may not be as sexy as Hollywood or Wall Street, but you know what? We’ve got a shitload of money, and we know how to organize. We’re a powerful bunch of khaki-wearing, gay-marriage-supporting, arugula-eating, Mac-using elitist nerds out here. To all of you racist homophobic non-Californian dumb fucks who find that annoying? Tough shit. We outsmarted you. We out-spent you. And now for the next eight years we’re going to be running this country. We’re going to give equal rights to gay people, fund stem-cell research, teach evolution, take down the fence on the Mexican border, and make sure abortion stays safe and legal. We’re going to pull out of Iraq, shut down Gitmo, and stop torturing people. And yeah. A black dude with a Muslim-sounding name and degrees from Columbia and Harvard is going to be in charge. So sit back down, strap yourself in, and shut the fuck up, crackers.

ESPN - Is Philly’s win promise of a series or delay of inevitable? - NHL

First, thanks for finally showing up Flyer. Congrats on your must win. But the telling link that took me here off the ESPN homepage (yes, I did watch the end of the game, no I didn’t miss a second of LOST) “False Hope in Philly?” I thought it was the town’s new motto.

Please be better than that horrendous Fox Kid’s series in the 90’s because I grew up on these books.

Seconded.
