Man, life and the curveballs...

And now your moment of WTF???
Nov. 13th, 2011 09:27 pmI suppose considering this guy is also responsible for Cows & Cows & Cows and Cycles (which also completely broke me) I shouldn't be surprised. But sheesh, someone take his drugs and After-Effects away.

Third time is a spanking.
Feb. 2nd, 2011 10:12 pmThis is gonna be one of those entries where I lose friends on all sides of the spectrum. SO BE IT.
( RANTING AHOY. Considering it's regarding the PA Dickwolves drama, triggery like whoa )
ETA: non friend commentary screened. I'm not interested in outside wankery on this.
ETA2: ehh never mind i just locked the post from further comments. I realize thats probably going to piss folk off moar and violates my usual policy of encouraging people to tell me when i'm wrong, but upon thinking about it, i realize i don't have my usual level of trollface and popcorn interest in seeing which of my friends are on what side (i'm pretty sure i know where y'all stand by now) and having you cockfight it out. Also, this is the blue moon occasion where i'm off the fence i usually ride like a prize stallion and am pretty solid in how i feel about it. For whatever its worth, it seems like a flounce/chickenshit/fuck you move even to me, lol. But whatever. Its not like if you really want to talk to me about this you don't know where and how to get a hold of me. I just dont want to do it here. Interpret that as you will, i suppose.

That was something...
Jan. 27th, 2011 09:58 pmSo partially because of
head58's and
telepresence's posts about them and also because I ran across a link in another community where someone had posted the entire movie to YouTube, I decided to check out Endhiran (The Robot).
Oh wow, this movie. The really good/batshit bits happen in the last quarter of the movie, so if you want to spare yourself about two and a half hours of having your brain broken with hilarious awesome/bad, just watch the clip below and ignore the horrible Russian overdubbing. But then you miss the sequences where Aishwarya Rai is all tricked out like some sort of Lady Gaga/Beyonce/Rihanna knockoff and prancing around looking cute in giant silver winged helmets for NO APPARENT REASON.
Oh Indian cinema.
And now it is Thursday, and since D&D was cancelled I'ma go watch 30 Rock during its actual air time with the Manbeast.
