As many may know already, Kelly, Ellen and myself are going to Africa next week. I am moving out of my apartment and back to Edison Park. On Friday, we are throwing ourselves a going away party and I will be enjoying the last time I can drink at my favorite wrigleyville bar and be able to walk home. So if you haven’t found out about this already from the facebook, come down to the Blarney Stone (Clark and Newport) at around 10PM so we can drink a tray or two of $1 shots, play some nude-y photohunt, and bless the rains down in Africa.
I imagine the band and management brainstorming the best way to get a bunch of hype for the new album. They decided on getting all the stars from recent youtube sensations, and it seems to be working for them. Its got a shitload of views already. Check it and see if you can figure out what videos they are referencing. You can also figure out if you are proud that you know the referenced videos or if you think its just sad.
I’m a sucker for comic book themed superhero movies and Ironman is no exception. While I was a little apprehensive about Robert Downey Jr. playing the lead I was pleasantly surprised by his portrayal of Tony Stark. Now this is a superhero movie so if looking for a bitchin’ plot twist or complex characters this is not the show for you. But if explosions and visual effects are your cup-o-tea then I highly suggest checking this out in the theatre. Be sure to stay til all the credits roll as there is a clip at the end.
I know that’s what I was yelling at the TV towards the end of my most recent Netflix-ed Documentary called “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.”
I’m not sure how I stumbled onto this movie but I’m glad I did it is definitely worth a rent/watch. It’s simply about an underdog unemployed nobody from Washington who challenges the upper brass Nerds (capital N for a reason) of the competitive gaming world. This nobody, Steve Wiebe, decides after getting fired to challenge the twenty some year old record of Donkey Kong set by king of the Nerds, Billy Mitchell. In my eye’s it has a definite good guy vs. bad guy vibe that will make you, like it did me, wanna cheer Wiebe on to victory. (more…)
There’s usually only one post a day, but I couldn’t help myself. Saw this on Some Velvet Blog and was laughing, laughing out loud. Click the “read more” to go see; its starts out slow but picks up . (more…)
