The Lush Life: 11/18/07

The Musings of a Woman Behind Bars.....

I have no idea what I'm doing half the time. Just want to be clear on that. But there are a few indisputable things I've learned that I'd like to share.

The power of toast is greatly underrated.
Your bed is the most accurate psychologist you'll ever have.
And finally... well let's leave that for another time.

I've actually spent way too much time developing an entire "theory of life" around those, one that explains everything except how one fabric softener sheet can sashay around inside the dryer and get every little inch of laundry soft. Just one. WTF? But those deep thoughts are explained elsewhere on the web in random musings I scatter about on other blogs like a cheap, shameless cyber-lawn sprinkler.

"Impossible," you say. "Those indisputable things explain nothing."

Whatever. I bet you're the person who likes to party with the fifth dentist who was overthinking the whole Trident recommendation. So let me assure you, the mysterious third Great Thought explains a lot. Really pulls the whole thing together.

For now, here are some links and 'net finds that I hope will entertain you as they have me. The purpose of this particular blog of mine is simply to serve as an online trough for links people are always asking me to give them. Again. And "once more, please. "

So here you go people. I hope you are able to waste as much time with these as I have.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I have left this blog overgrown and untended for an inexusable amount of time I'm afraid. But you can expect that to change in the next few months. Until then, you'll have to settle for the bread crumbs I'm throwing at ya this morning. Feel free to be a voyeur... and have a wonderful holiday!

A few laughs to help you get through the days ahead. In between the shots of whiskey.

Since the holidays are about trying, albeit in vain, to keep the peace, here's a little something that may offer some useful tips:
Rock, Paper, Scissors Peace Conference
Some favorite quotes?
Paper: "Don't make me fly over there and cover your ass, Rock."
Rock: "I could paperweight your ass after I'm done crushing scissors."
Earth to Paper, this is Rock... do you need a sedative or something?

Here's a little list of more visual condiments to help flavor your day from Atom Films... Oh. I didn't write the blurbs. So if you don't agree with the review, take it out on someone in your own family ;)

Race Speedster
Yep, a slightly different- and quite clever- version of our childhood favorite.
In this episode of Race Speedster, Race needs Dad's help to the win the Brooklyn 500. But will Dad's germophobia and his mysterious rock candy stand in the way of victory?
Echo
If the SETI program had an official music video, Echo would be it. Join a break-dancing alien robot for some funky-fresh beats that celebrate the exploration of E.T. intelligence. Steve Wood hypnotically interweaves his twitchy animation with actual NASA footage.
War Photographer
Vikings are rad because they wear fur helmets, use battle axes and sport awesome mustaches. Now, there's another reason to love Vikings — they rock so hard! Watch these two Viking ships go head to head in a sea battle of the bands.
Sex for Breakfast
A small diner just can't compete with all the trendy coffee shops anymore, what with all their fancy croissants and biscottis and whatnot. To stay relevant in the marketplace, this British diner decides to add a little spice to the menu. Now, English tea isn't their only morning pick-me-up.

Heh heh heh.... just found a few more ol' favorites.

Guinness Evolution Commercial
Clever, clever...

Guinness Music Machine
Very cool. And no, no jigging.
What St. Pat's Should REALLY Be Like
Yes I KNOW it's the wrong holiday... this cracks me up though.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail in Lego
Yes. In Lego.

Animator vs Animation
The Animator vs. Animation series is one of the all-time great AtomFilms hits.
