I’m just trying to eat my fish

I’m sorry, I’ve got nothin’ tonight. But I will share this surreal video. Apparently it used to be aired frequently on access cable TV. What really boggles my mind is – they felt they needed three and a half minutes of this! Fabulous.

Actually in a way I kind of love it. Because “what is wrong with you?” is often part of my self-talk. But now, whenever I find I’m berating myself inwardly this way, I think of this video. And then I grin and say to myself, “I don’t have a problem, I’m just trying to eat my fish.” It kinda makes me feel better.

apparently he used the money to buy a motorcycle

Love this. Apparently it is Dutch (in case it makes you insane not to know, like me). I love the scary angry gnome man and the klepto dolphin. The more I watch it, the more I love it. Enjoy.

(I really hope my title isn’t something horrible in Dutch.)

candy mountain, charlie! candy mountain!

How had I never seen this before? I don’t know, but it’s REALLY FRIGGIN FUNNY, especially at 1 in the morning, with your siblings.

Magical leopluridons and a bridge of hope and wonder.
Shun the non-believer! Shhhhhhh-uuuuuu-nnnuh.

You. You are awesome.

This might be the best film I’ll see all year.

which first? good news or bad news?

The good news is … Spent a good part of the day at a craft fair held by my friends, here in town (go to their website for directions and times if you’ll be in the southern Arizona area – it’s on again tomorrow and next Saturday as well). I’ve even been making a few crocheted things to sell. (So come buy!)

The bad news is … Apparently my father-in-law (the one who lives here in town) was burned by chemicals at work today/last night. He’s alright, but was taken to the special burn unit in the Really Big City three hours away. So, not negligible. We’re figuring out visiting for tomorrow. But I think he’ll be home for Thanksgiving.

The good news is … One of my friends has a brand new fancy schmancy scanner, and it totally ROCKS – I started scanning some things while at the fair, and then she just had me take it home with me – and I’ve scanned tons of photos. I’M SO HAPPY about this. And have learned that a big ol’ fat stack of photos is not as many as you think. Which says to me – good golly, imagine the stack if I actually printed all my digital photos. It boggles the mind. We’re talking roomsful, people.

Finishing with a video, neither good nor bad, merely cool. Look carefully, is all I will tell you to start.

John Williams IS the man.

I love a cappella. The funniest part is: no Imperial March or other actual Star Wars music. High-larious.

why I should get out my own camcorder more often

Since apparently this month is all about videos. I have so much footage (well, actually, not that much compared to all the photos…), and I really need to edit it and put it on discs we could actually, you know, WATCH. And videos like this make me think I should get to it.

An older one, but dude, the accent! And look at Charlie crack up!

Love this kid, and the lobsters.

technical difficulties…

… prevent me from putting up the Halloween photos that I wanted to – I’m just hoping I can get this one up. So today – just a few links to funny videos, mostly courtesy of my brother.

Magic Pants

Selma Blair is magical!

“This band is rocking way too hard!”

My brother says if he were the groom he would’ve jumped in after. Assuming it’s real of course.

I worry about these guys (though I see one of them get up right away). However, it is true that every moment of human error should be accompanied by classical music.

“I told you to stay away from my magic frame!” This here (a literal version of the Take On Me music video) is definitely the funniest thing I saw all last month. (Also the dude sings more than adequately.)

Enjoy.

a couple of awesome videos

What do you do when you don’t have time to post? And/or you’re avoiding packing? VIDEOS.

100 Movie countdown

Sorry, can’t figure out the embedding on the two below, but they’re totally worth checking out.

Font Conference – “You’re insane! Nobody uses Microsoft Works!” Please, go watch this one.

24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot – “George! You picked up the phone while I was doing the internet!” I love how he has to keep running to the payphone.

It’s all about me. Stolen from this blog.
