January 12th, 2007 at 7:58 am I m trying this again, just because I m that damn stubborn. Totally worth it if you get it working, though.
Yay, I got it working!
Good thing, because YouTube has been sketchier than a wild junky on the lookout for a hit lately.
January 12th, 2007 at 7:00 am So, how strange is this film? Here s a pull quote from the review:
Stole this from , of course; it originally comes from , a longwinded or at least longtitled blog if ever there was one.
Said H.Roma is all excited because not only has he done the following, and perfect, schlockfest, but he s also with one of the child actors who made such an unforgettable impression in those tightly choreographed routines and superfly Eighties duds. Alas, not the one who tries to fuck his own mom.
Not the one with the leopard-print bomber jacket who gets the nobody puts Baby in the corner moment. It s the black kid with the racist piggy bank! How exciting is that?
!?!
?!?
!
Now pay close attention, children; there will be a test next period.
January 11th, 2007 at 7:20 pm The hat totally makes the look.
Here is the immortal , sending holiday greetings to all on YouTube, in character as from .
The only good hyooooooman is a dead hyoooooooman.
Just what it says, 10ZenMonkeys list of , which I think I stole from but I don t remember because hey, it s the holidays and I m wasted on strong tea and cold medicine.
I d have left Ze Frank off the list(see comments below), because I m a big mean nasty snarker myself and I support and appreciate that, but to each his/her own. On some of these, we are as of one mind. I know Border Collies with four or five times the qualifications of Amanda Congdon.
But the vlog is amusing, although one example would more than suffice, ya d think.
Amanda Congdon’s new show is the equivalent of deciding that Lite Beer isn’t bland enough, and asking for a LITE lite beer. Is it unfair to compare Amanda Congdon’s new video blog to footage of dogs barking in cars?
No — because I hate it that much.
See below: this one is FIVE times as qualified as she is!
In the toilet.
I suppose it s a function of being offline for oh, say, three weeks off and on. Thanks to a unique combination of impecunity and historic windstorms in Vancouver, my apartment has been internetless for some time.
Naturally, I had to evacuate.
I m currently blogging from Ontario, which is, I admit, a little far to go, particularly since my neighborhood is dotted with free public computers; the problem is, of course, that these computer sources, being staffed by civil servants, aren t open during the holidays or after four pm, which is when anyone really worthwhile really just gets going. Also, of course, I am in Ontario and not the Downtown EastSide now, so it would be really inconvenient for me to be using those computers, even supposing I could wake up early and everything.
But not to worry: will not be deterred by a momentary blip caused by the unique Perfect Blogstorm of the combination of the anniversary of the Birth of Jesus, the Windstorm of 2006, the Blight of Odeo, and the Great Internet Famine.
Indeed, I ve got a beaver shot coming that will be heard round the world, so stay tuned!
Refresh early, refresh often!
December 26th, 2006 at 7:52 am God willin and Odeo don t screw up agin Odeo seems to have screwed up agin.
All fixed!
which is really the spirit of these things if you think about it. Behold William S.
Burroughs reading the conclusion to William S. Burrough s famous story, .
If that don t work for you, try this link .
Or these three YouTube vids. For those of you on dialup (like me, at the moment) you ll just have to take it on faith it s all here, which is all sorta seasonal-like if you think on it.
December 22nd, 2006 at 2:00 am UPDATE: Fixed.
Click and play.
Stole this from the , because after wasting a good $6 trying to get the Upload to Odeo and Podcast thingies working on this goddam rented public computer, I finally figured I d just go ahead and steal it from someone who d already ripped it.
Have I mentioned that I m somewhat peeved at Messieurs Gates and Jobs?
Somewhat.
I assume anyone reading this is familiar with Tom Lehrer, but that s mostly because I assume everyone worth knowing is familiar with Tom Lehrer, being as he s arguably the greatest musical satirist ever. If, for some reason, you re not, I would highly recommend you drop everything and pick up a copy of the Rhino put out a few years back.
Of course, now that you ve got that album, you ve got this song as well (two versions of it!), but I suppose that s all right.
Lehrer, FYI, is the man who says he got out of political satire because it became redundant when they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger.
fuckit, click for the mp3.
December 22nd, 2006 at 1:15 am Another in our ongoing series of multiculti seasonal anthems. And with all the struggles I m having trying to do a simple podcast, take what you can get; I nearly posted instead, just because it fits my mood somewhat better at the moment.
But then, Kiki and Herb are the universal language, are they not? (PS if you see or , tell them to duck if they re coming through Vancouver. I could strangle those two bytches with my bare hands at this point)
Merry Christmas.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
December 18th, 2006 at 7:52 pm Lydia sent me Dylan Thomas A Child s Christmas in Wales as mp3 s, so I thought I d share them. Hopefully this will work, as I haven t got time to tweak Odeo and bend it to my will like I normally do.
UPDATE: Nope, it don t. Will try to fix it later, wish me luck. This should work.
based on “Blue Christmas” by Billy Hayes and Jay Johnston, 1948, lyrics reworked by Elvis Presley

I’ll be so blue thinking what you’ll do.
Won’t mean a thing until you’re here with me.
You’ll be down in your tomb,
(spoken) Oh Cthulhu, baby, c’mon up out of that tomb. I can’t stop thinking about your huge flabby claws, them little wings of yours, that grotesque scaly body, and them big ol’ tentacles wrapped around me. Oh darlin’, I can’t go on without you.
And I’ll have a blue, blue blue blue solstice.
