I’ve been exploring YouTube a bit more lately and just thought I’d point to some of the videos I’ve found that amuse me… Crazy Cat Pinky – the cat in this video wigs out and I actually laughed out loud. This Place Sucks – Superfriends – the classic Superfriends/Office Space mashup. Deadwood Swearing – nothing… Continue reading YouTube goodness

Not much
No, I haven’t posted much on any of my sites this week. My aunt died on Monday, and I just haven’t felt like writing much. There’s really not any more to say; the funeral is on Saturday. In the meantime, I hope everyone’s having a good week, what with the first day of summer and… Continue reading Not much
Wonka
Okay, tell me this guy doesn’t look totally cool: This guy was with the fire dancer troup that performed Saturday night at the Bite of Bend. We decided he looked like Willy Wonka, though now I’m also thinking the Mad Hatter. Watching him, I also think he had a Johnny Depp thing going on. Anyway,… Continue reading Wonka
What the hell was that?
When I started writing this post, the video in question actually existed… but now the link they had goes to the Visitor and Convention Bureau site… hmmmmmm. The title of this post might as well be “How not to do viral marketing.” It concerns a new animated ad campaign, detailed in excruciating detail in this… Continue reading What the hell was that?
An angry bunch
Go and check out today’s Pearls Before Swine comic strip. It’s the good stuff.
Deadwood!
Deadwood is back (as of last Sunday)! I loves me my Deadwood! I just had to point that out. That, and say, it’s about time somebody beat Farnum to a bloody pulp…
X-Men: The Last Stand
I saw the third X-Men movie on Saturday, and while I don’t think it’s as good as the previous two movies, I rather liked it. It won’t classify as a great movie, but it was certainly enjoyable. So what follows is my review… although it’s less of a “review” than just a general geeking-out about… Continue reading X-Men: The Last Stand
So can you hear the ringtone?
So can you hear this ringtone? It’s supposed to be too high-pitched in frequency for the ears of people over 30 to hear… but I can hear it. It’s via Shannon, who seems to be alternating between thinking she’s too old to hear it, or she’s just been exposed to too much loud music over… Continue reading So can you hear the ringtone?
Pictures of the cistern
This post is really to supplement my Water in the Desert post from yesterday; I wanted to include some pictures of the cistern we used to play on, because that was one of my favorite parts from that post. So while we were out at my parents’ place today, I snapped a few pictures.
Growing Up in Central Oregon: Water in the Desert
This is part of an ongoing series of articles that I’m writing on Central Oregon and growing up here; you can view the introduction here. Growing up on the desert, water takes on a special, almost symbolic, significance. You are constantly surrounded by sand, sagebrush, juniper trees, dry vegetation like bunchgrass and cheat grass, all… Continue reading Growing Up in Central Oregon: Water in the Desert
