Animator vs. Animation
A Flash developer put together a Flash of a stick figure waging war against the animator himself.
Hysterical.

Sometimes a picture is worth a 1,000 words.
In this case, each of those words is pure gibberish.

Why L.A. Is Loopy - One In A Series
Occasional observations on why Los Angeles is sometimes the lunatic capital of the world.
We have a local radio station, STAR 98.7, that, for the past few months, has been having the traffic guy SING the traffic report. At first the poor thing had to do it EVERY time. Now it's only by request. The thing is, the requests come often. I feel bad for the guy -- he can't sing, yet he gamely tries. The songs are well known songs but sound like they're being played on one of those old-school Casio keyboards. It always reminds me of some poor kid who just wants to play quietly in his room but gets paraded out every time the relatives come over to perform his rendition of "Greensleeves" on his recorder.
The morning DJs also played a little game of "Cute or Creepy" where callers would offer some tidbit about their lives and the DJs would determine if that tidbit was cute or creepy. The only one I heard was about a boyfriend who liked to videotape cute TV weathergirls and watch them over and over as well as taking detailed notes about them.
Um. That's not creepy. That's sociopathic. That's the kind of person who, if you visited their childhood home, you'd find polished dog and cat skulls buried in the backyard.

The Bounty Huntaaaaah
I'm watching a Dog, The Bounty Hunter marathon. I've been to Hawaii numerous times (my wife is from Hawaii) so it's been fun playing "Hey, I've been there before" with the different locations.

Janelle: Big Brother
Okay...
I'm now officially convinced that she has sold her soul to the Devil. How else can you explain the extraordinary luck she has. In a series of flukes with bad buzzers, etc, she's now the Head of Household AFTER winning a critical Power of Veto last week to prevent her more than obvious eviction.
Nobody is that naturally lucky...

Iron Chef: America vs. Japan
Just finished watching Iron Chef America.
Tonight's special ingredient? Puff Pastry.
This show is excellent in demonstrating the schism between American and Japanese pallets. Some of the items in America? Puff Pastry, Hamburger, Spinach, etc.
Japan? Dried Cuttlefish, Giant Eel, Konnyaku (Fermented Japanese Root Paste). Mmmm.
I like the Japanese version better, actually. It's for one reason - the overly literal translations. The peeps translating Japanese to English aren't so much translating as they're ACTING! Even down to the mmmmms and ahhhhhs as they taste the food. Hysterical. Keeps you from gagging as they attempt to produce five dishes with the special ingredient of rat testicles.
Hey, I did get to meet Hiroyuki Sakai while he was visiting Waikiki promoting his signature brand of coffee (good coffee, btw).

MTV - The Cure For The Common Marriage
I already mentioned the end of two MTV marriages - Jessica n' Nick, and more recently, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler - in the previous post.
Now MTV has claimed a third victim - Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra.

I can hear future angry couples screaming "I want my MTV!!".

MTV Is The New Irreconcilable Difference
First the Simpsons, now...
TRAVIS BARKER FILES FOR DIVORCE
BLINK-182/TRANSPLANTS drummer TRAVIS BARKER has filed for divorce from his wife (and "Meet the Barkers" co-star) SHANNA MOAKLER. MTV cameras captured the couple's marriage and home life -- beginning with their Halloween-eve wedding ceremony -- for two seasons, beginning last spring. Last month, the couple quietly placed their 12,000-square-foot Tuscan villa in Bel Air, California, on the market for $8.5 million. "My only concern right now is for the welfare and best interests of my children," Moakler told "People" through her publicist. Barker and Moakler are the latest in a string of celebrity couples who've split since having their marriages documented on MTV, joining the company of Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, and Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.

The Mind At 12:35 AM
I'm surfing other Blogger sites, cliking the "Next Blog" button to see what randomly comes up.
One site showed an infant sitting in what is called a Jolly Jumper. It's pretty much a bouncy harness suspended from a doorway. You stick junior in the harness/seat and they happily bounce about.
Don't you wish sometimes that they made an adult sized version? Some days, when life gets too crazy, there'd be nothing more relaxing than spending an hour bouncing in a doorway.
Check out the Talking Heads' video for "Stay Up Late" -- the band spends have the video in Jolly Jumpers.
If I didn't have to run a process for work right now, I'd be sleeping.
Thank you for your support.
