I'm in a meat coma

I saw Jay Bakker at RUB today. I was with my boss and a coworker, and we were leaving when I saw him, so I couldn't really stop and say "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I WROTE A PAPER ABOUT YOUR REALITY SHOW"... but I did walk right by him and we made eye contact.

Our lunch was an embarassing meat fest that included 5 different types of meat...

Outward Bound

I am going on an all gals vacation this week. So take the pbf out for cigars and brandy.

Strictly business

The dog is laying between her legs and practically asleep. He's got cute droopy eyes and big paws and floppy ears. I bet she's counting the stops because I'm sure she can't understand the conductor on the intercom either. I shouldn't be staring, it's rude, but she doesn't know what I'm doing. That guy's staring. They're staring. I wonder what she's reading... I can't believe how fast she can read. I wonder how it is that she can read both sides of a page... are there raised dots on both sides, or can she read the divets, but wouldn't the divets just be backward letters from the front side? I wonder how sensitive her sense of feeling is. Her doggy is so cute, and I really shouldn't be staring. That lady's staring. I wonder what kind of relationship she has with her dog. Strictly business or loving? He's got such cute droopy eyes. I guess that's gray hair around his snout and eyes. I'm sure of it. He must be as old in dog years as she is. What happens when he's gone and she needs a new helper? How many relationships has she had with dogs, and is that a reason to make it strictly business? She's got a ring. She's married? Widowed? Just a ring? I shouldn't be staring, but they're staring. They're whispering. At least i'm not whispering, but I'm writing it down in my head. Is that bad? That's not bad. That's only bad if I actually write it down. Do not write this down. Okay, I can write it down, just don't post it online. Don't blog this, that's rude. I can't believe how fast she can read.

Young@Heart chorus

Holy smokes! Have you heard about this group? I will absolutely be buying their first cd when it comes out this Fall. They have toured all over the world.

I love this

"...but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione."

-This is the last sentence from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

No Shoes, No Service

This evening we found ourselves near Grand Central... so we popped in to see the ceiling... tourists asked us to take their picture... then asked if we wanted ours taken.

We saw a bunch of people out and about for the Peurto Rican day parade...

Then later, we saw a man standing on the corner wearing only a white t-shirt. After having his fill of everyone laughing at him, he headed towards a McDonalds... I wonder if he got service.

The Youtube experience

Seems Youtube has changed it so that this animated menu only comes up once the video stops playing now... but then if you hit play again, the video replays in a smaller window with the menu still up.
The Wifest made a video (with Mo who once chewed an orange road of our Settlers of Catan game) of her vocals to I Keep Telling you.

Open a new browser window and bring it to wifeANDman... then scroll down to the previous post while still viewing this post in this window... then play both videos at once for a real youtube experience... or a real Mr. and Mrs. McMüller experience anyway. (you'll have to play with the pause buttons just a little to get them playing at the same exact time.)



(again, comments on the video itself should be made at the Wifest's blog)

I was told to blog

In an email to me today, the wife said, "ps.-blog baby, i'm kicking your butt!"

Soooo.... herm. The car finally got fixed from being mashed up. That's cool. It puts me in the mood to drive, though I've got no where to go. I've sorta wanted to try going to jersey through staten island instead of manhattan, so maybe it's time for a trip to the nasty ikea for some sweedish meatballs and furniture. Well, probably not furniture. Though if we could afford it, we need a new bed and a bookshelf with doors.

Have you seen the new thing that a youtube video does when you're watching it on another site? It has this annoying animated menu (OS X anyone?) that pops up when your mouse is around it... it's not annoying on the mac desktop, just on a youtube video i'm trying to watch. It also has that reflecting floor thing that iTunes does with videos. I will demonstrate with McMüller's new song/video (special appearance by The Wifest) which the wife enjoyed immensly... so did I, but the wife swoons for a good McMü' tune.



As not to steal his thunder, should you want to post a comment regarding "I Keep Telling You" you should do it at ye faire Crude Futures.

Harry Potter Cover Art

What is your favorite cover art for the Harry Potter books? I have to say my vote is definitely the states. Although I think the Icelandic Harry looks chock full of attitude. I think the French versions look like they were drawn by children, maybe that's the point. I think that the British and Danish are way toooo generic.

You have probably seen all of these...

but they are still ridiculous and hilarious, especially The Shining recut. Some of them don't work as well as others, The Lion King has too much thunder effect, but they are still fun regardless.

Just rewatched

The Matrix, I really enjoy that movie. The pbf doesn't seem to like it as much as I do. I never finished the series because after seeing the second installment I realized that perhaps the trilogy just sucked. Thoughts?

In 1975 the Catholic bishops of Appalachia wrote...

"...hopefully the Church
might once again
be known as
-a center of the Spirit
-a place where poetry dares to speak,
-where the song reigns unchallenged,
-where art flourishes
-where nature is welcome
-where little people and little needs come first,
-where justice speaks loudly,
-where in a wilderness of idolatrous destruction
the great voice of God still cries out for Life."

IT'S ON!!!

In this corner, representing all of Christianity we have child star Kirk Cameron and mustache preacher dude Ray Comfort.
And in this corner, representing the only other side of the coin, two random self-proclaimed Atheists.

Should be good! Have you ever seen Mike Seaver and Mustache Man scare and trick people into believing in God? Check out the videos on their website... they get 'em every time!

Okay, I'm being an ass, but come oooonnnnnn!!! I hate Kirk and Ray's style, and I'm supposed to be okay with the idea that they represent christianity? And the atheists from the Rational Response Squad also use methods that aren't the most respectful of other people. You might not know it from them but Athiests can be nice!

But then again, stereotypes and fights can be fun!

I will never have enough time to go through all of this, but you must check out the video/film section and the sound section. amazing stuff.

Find something there you like and post in in the comments.

Happy Wifest?

Update! well, maybe not "update" but new post.

Sanderson, I can't seem to post comments on your blog... haven't been the last few posts. But of course I was right! now when do I get to see the piercing in real life? You should totally have a cookout! I think May 12th is good for me, how 'bout you? Can I plan a party at your house? in your backyard and all.

New diorama

I'm wanting to make a new diorama. Is anyone else interested in doing one? A mini dio party perhaps. Also I would be very interested to hear some suggestions of what YOU would like to see me do a diorama of.

weather report

it's snowing... in april.

Alanis' humps

If you didn't know it, I'm in love with Alanis Morissette... always have been. I find her music to be very smart and she seems to know how to live life. One thing I've always liked is that she freely admits her love for studid comedy... Anybody see her in Dogma?! Well, I think this video will show how funny (and clever) she is. Take that top 40 radio!
