A week from today I will be in Iowa attending the Iowa Summer Writing Festival. The University of Iowa offers writing workshops, either lasting for a week or just a weekend, each specializing on different topics and helping to further writing and the various techniques.
“Rock Lobster” on Family Guy. No direct link, but you’ll see it. His last “Rock Lobster” always cracks me up.
Friday July 8, 2005Celine Dion covers Michael Jackson’s “Bad”. I couldn’t have made up anything as funny as this.
Friday July 8, 2005I’m too busy to keep posting follow-ups on the reported four bombings in London today, but kottke’s got a good roundup of the news, Lifehacker has their own roundup, and Londonist is on top of things.
I’ve been given an early warning from the powers that be that the server this site is hosted on may be moving in the past next few days and may suffer from some down time, so you’ve all been properly warned.
Brad has posted up an excellent entry containing nothing but quotes of himself saying dumb things, warranting the coveted “…” awards. Of course 95% of the conversations are with me, but I swear he’s the one who talks to me. I have no choice!
Here’s a collection of similar conversations on my site:
A hot shower takes the sting out of a sunburn. A cold shower takes Sting out of the Police.

Monday July 4, 2005I had my poached egg and it is nothing compared to scrambled or over-easy. No wonder nobody ever orders you, my poached friend. That’ll teach you to trespass.
There’s not much to say about War of the Worlds. Spielberg delivered another solid film with no low points as far as I saw, and it met right up to any expectations I had.
Great special effects and a constantly moving storyline with some really tense moments, although we get a Disney ending, yet it doesn’t entirely ruin the movie. Awesome plane wreckage, violent and eye-opening van jacking, and a hold-your-breath hiding game in a basement were the best scenes.
Since it’s the same director and major star, I’ll draw the comparison and say I enjoyed Minority Report more, even though the two movies are very different from each other.
Worth a watch on the big screen, but it’s still no Batman.
See under any cap (like for Pepsi iTunes) without opening it!
Sunday July 3, 2005
They told us there was no speed limit, and that we could drive as fast as we wanted. So I did, and I thought it was fast enough to be pushing the limits of the car.
Then we sat in for a hot lap with the professional driver.
I didn’t know cars were capable of performing to that level.
A few pages into this novel I already began to regret my purchase. It started out like any typical story about growing up in an English boarding school. Kazuo Ishiguro’s most famous book is Remains of the Day, which was turned into an Anthony Hopkins film. Sounds boring. Yet the critics had been praising Never Let Me Go, and so I read on.
I’ve got a lot of other topics to discuss and I’m just too lazy to write them, but I’m gonna forgo them all to do a review of Van Helsing, which I won’t even write myself.
skr1bblins: dood… watching van helsing kills brain cells by itself
MyBodyIs4Sale (5:01:46 PM): dude
MyBodyIs4Sale (5:01:53 PM): i cant belive you watched that
valloq (5:01:56 PM): lol!
MyBodyIs4Sale (5:02:00 PM): at least i saw it when i had no warning
MyBodyIs4Sale (5:02:07 PM): you have had years of warning
I honestly I have no idea what I just watched. I fell asleep during the “plot twist” and had urges throughout to just fast foward to the end.
