Happy Halloween! .. Oh no it's raining.
Looks like another soggy Halloween. Poor kids are gonna have a horrible time Trick'R'Treating in this. I think there are 3 days of the year it should be forbidden to rain: Halloween, Christmas, and Canada Day.
*Also the Marijuana March for those inbibed.
It's the worst when you're a kid; one time I dressed up as a robot or something and all the cardboard fell apart. It's just not as festive with peoples' decorations keeling over, pumpkins going unlit, and only half as many candy-hunters running through puddles toting umbrellas and galoshes.
Even a scary dark coat looks silly when it's made of rubber.
Not to mention poor pubescent Pete; he wanted to take his highschool sweetie to the cemetary for some hot grave action and now she's got a perfect excuse not to go: "I don't want to lie on the wet grass." ***k-blocked!
FYI, this video is hilarious. Avril Lavigne teaches safe sex 70s $tyle.
I bet the Exorcist Demons and the Michael Myers of the world take one look outside and say "Gee, it's just not as scary in a yellow raincoat, I guess I'll take this year off." OH: Maybe that's why "Halloween 2" came out in August!
Speaking of which, if Jason Voorhes only attacks on Friday October the 13th, why the heck are there so many kids at summer camp in the middle of October?
I guess the only Halloweeners undetered by the morbid weather are Linus and Sally, eagerly awaiting their glorious gourdly deity in all his imaginary splendor.
Oh, and on a show-that-will-not-be named they had the freakiest Obama mask; It haunts my dreams now. Who would want to dress up as a political leader for Halloween?
AHHH!! Grinning glossy-eyed madness! Take it away, take it away!
Anyways, Happy Halloween!

Digg thisOh my, what happened last night?
Protip: Don't watch the movie Spun and drink any small amount of alcohol. The screen keeps flashing and zooming and spinning* and there's carton pigs and adult content and warped sound FX and Britanny Murphy and... oh, now my head's spinning*. I was very ill and now I don't feel well. Also peckish.
*But not spunning.
I still can't figure out why the protagonist leaves a poor naked woman chained to his bed for a week. .. I mean he's not being cruel, he just does it*. I guess the message is: Don't do anphetamines.
*It's alrite, Debby Harry rescues her.
-Greek starts up again tonight. I'm not as excited because the cliffhangers weren't so awesome: Cappie is being forced to date Cassie, and Rusty (who just stole somebody's GF) is all ready making up excuses to dump her. Oh and Frannie left, Evan is nice, leaving the show without any villains.
-Shows you should watch in your lifetime. (They left off Cheers and 3rd Rock from the Sun.)
*vaguely remembers some people walking next to a river with flashlights* .... Night fishing? I think I told them all humans are dust waiting to happen. Or maybe I just thought it.
-Oh, I saw Halloween 2 the other day and I liked it. I wrote a really indepth review but that's not really bloggish so it'll go on Moviespot.
The Spirit of the Edge is dead, and the blogs are hidden
-Martin Streek committed suicide last week. He was the late-night radio DJ at The Edge where he worked for the past 23 years; about half his life. He was fired without warning, no explanation given to the listeners. I guess the depression took over and he killed himself. It's very sad.
It must've been horrible because his Sunday Retro Nights are now being hosted by this ditzy chick that wouldn't know New Rock from ElectroPop if it.. uh, hit her in the head. I can picture him in his last weeks sitting there, listening to her screw up his gig and thinking "WTF.." Oh, and worse still, since he died the station is splashing his name and photo all over the place as some sort of memorial "to pay tribute", pretending like it wasn't their fault brought on by greed and no sense of employer-loyalty, just doing their best not to lose listeners. ...
-On TV.com I can see blogs from 2006 and this blog right here. On Gamespot I can see last blogs but not this one. For a moment I thought somebody hijacked my account and deleted everything. Scary.
-Anybody looking for a scary movie should watch "Sleepaway Camp". The ending is still making me creeped.
Comfortably Numb
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
But I have become comfortably numb."
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd.
I've gone through all my old blogs and posted my stories here and here for anyone interested. And apparently my blogs are wayy too long because my eyes just fell out. There is 10 stories, 6 are done and 4 I meant to continue but didn't.
Did you know I haven't posted any stories on TV.com since Miss Hoffman passed away back in 2007? It's true and has me perplexed. I think I've written some stories since then, so I'm not sure why I didn't post. I'll have to go find them on the old harddrive
Come on; Feel the Noise
Come on, Feel the noise - Quiet Riot
-There's been a lot of news about a poor abducted girl. It's very sad. Unfortunately I watched 'Otis' the other day and now I know some of the strange things an abducter might do to a hostage.
Kim: He didn't rape me; we mostly danced to Blue Oyster Cult.
-Sims 3 has been pirated 2 weeks before going on sale. *spit-take* Some argue that EA is doing it for publicity, others say it's an incomplete build, and lots of people say it's broken. I was tempted to download it, but that game is like crack and I just don't have the time for it. ... Oh, and thievery is bad. 
What I don't understand is the complainers who call it inferior, spastic, not finished, bad, broken, doubleplussungood.. Are the thieves in a position to judge someone else's hard work? It seems .. ungrateful. It's like:
Complainers: Hey EA, we stole your game, now we're gonna tell you how much we hate it before you can even sell your first copy. Aren't we poncy?
TV news:
-Smallville, SPOILER ALERT, it sucked. This season was building up for an awesome finale and they fumbled the ball at the last second. Now I gotta change my banner because "Henry" Olsen is retconned out of logic.
-I know a user pointed out that 90210 is retarded, but it's still entertaining. And most of the actors are my age, in their twenties. (One guy is even 30 with his character at 17!) The finale was a blast, I won't ruin the surprises, but the cliff-hanger is ... hangery.
-Apparently TV.com wants to kill Disco Stu, Meg Griffin, and implied Lisa Simpson. 
-I can't tell if Greek got rid of their character yet because 2 characters have disappeared into the ether and it might've been 1 of them. (Or get rid of both, neither would be missed.)
-Normally I'm a fan of South Park, but this season is disturbing. I guess they're trying to get cancelled..?
Recent Reviews
If I understand the song (which I probably don't), Rihanna wants sex. Now.
Okay, so the plot's a bit thin; flashy scenes of a sexy dancing chick humping the air for four minutes, a few frames of her friends and some guy. But for the most part the video is focussed on the singer, which is cool because she's pretty hot. Rough Count: Rihanna changes her clothing ~5 times during this video. .. How the hell is she staying in the green dress?; like, the laws of physics demand her cleavage part with her clothing. ... I've seen less friction between a pair of bullets and the end of a shotgun.
uh... the beat of the song is taken from Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love'.*
*This paragraph shows this isn't a completely macho-sexist review of the video, and I'm not writing the review just as an excuse to watch the video. Twice.
"Right now
I'm takin' it.."
Wow dude; not a lot of men would admit to that sort of thing. (Even less people want to hear about it though...)
Where does this guy live though? It sounds like he's fearing for his life, getting sodomized by cops, and spending a lot of time lying on the ground thinking about starting a war. Yet, here he is writing music in between his sessions with Mr. Policeman. It almost makes you wonder if he's exagerrating the truth, but conveying this song as reality... ... hmmmm.... (starts musing)
It's standard 'Bob Marley'ish fare, complete with the required Rastafarian echo effect-
echo effect..
echo effec..
echo eff...
At one point it's very unclear WtH he's saying; even the Inet's lyrics are going 'Huh?'
Not a bad song, I sort of like it. I wouldn't go looking for personal ownership of this song through any channels, but I won't turn it off the radio either.
On a scale of Cher (being 1) and Trent Reznor (being 10), I'd give Ill Scarlet somewhere between Cyndi Lauper, but below Prince.
Okay, I normally can take a random guess at what the song's about, but I'm without clue. Maynard's pretty angry, and I think the target of his anger is on drugs. ... Or is a necromancer.. ... a stoned Necromancer. ........ There's so much abstract metaphors in this song, but I don't think they have much definitive meaning. ie: "Kangaroo hung the jury" ...?
Here, a possible meaning: Some guy got really high and had his way with Maynard. Maynard decides to pretend nothing happened, but can't do that until the guy finishes up. Guy sobers up and wants to know who that chick was, and Maynard gets very angry. He even swears!
I think Guy got some 'lemon juice' in Maynard's eye, before urinating all over Maynard's 'black kettle'. (innuendo? or literal?)
(Starts thrashing) Rock on Tool! Awesome song, eh? (continues thrashing around) (thrashes around somemore) (does a bit more thrashing, just for the sake of the thrash.)
Screw Flanders! Screw Flanders!
And there's a light on ; Heavy glow..."
This song is very awesome. I'm sure as a kid, I probably heard lots of RHCP, but this is their first song I remember. (In those golden summery days, when I was all alone playing video games, and began listening to rock.) Sweet freakin' song!
And, features Anthony Keidis doing an 'out-of-breath' white rap:
"Steak knife. Blood bath. Dope D&&&
followed by white rap on crack:
"Kiss that Dyke but not by the freeway take the street, she needs a little leeway..."
WTH is he talking about? Drugs or pimps I guess. Do I care? No, cuz it's a sweet-&&& song.
The video also features a member of the band getting kidnapped by a crazy Taxi driver and the rest of the band giving chase. I remember one scene where he climbs out the taxi window, with the car going ultrafast, getting on the roof and jumping into a truck. Sweet video, for a great song.
What's the song about? Helal if I know. Probably rebelling against their parents for giving them a curfew of 11.30. Maybe 'red flag' is code for something dirty that happens to a guy.... I dunno. Here's some lyrics:
"The kids of tomorrow don't eat today
When they've eaten yesterday!"
I wasn't really watching the video, so I have no opinion. hmm, well if the video features a literal 'red flag', but doesn't bother to explain it, that's pretty lame. it's probably better if the video has no red flag. Does it?
