• Mind Grapes

    So i took Sissa’s advice and tried Stumble Upon. I know how hard you work at finding new stuff, Brian, so I feel like I’m cheating. Nonetheless, I’m sure you’d want to hear some gems. 30 Rock came back with all expected hilarity, as I’m sure all know. If you haven’t seen Tracy Morgan on the Daily Show, you need to. ‘Cause someone gettin’ pregnant! Hulu also has about 60 episodes of NewsRadio, which are on a Hulu queue for me.

    I’m really excited about Point Break Live, but nobody down here shares my enthusiasm. I’ll be home Saturday, so I need to see that as well as Cop Out, while we’re on the subject of Tracy Morgan.

    It wouldn’t be a Bruce post without music right? I’ve listened to this song for months now at my friends place, and just got to downloading it myself. Miley’s “USA” and Biggie’s “Party and Bullshit” mash-up. Party and Bullshit in the USA. I definitely like it better than both originals.

    Theres a new 30 for 30 on ESPN on at 8 tonight. Can’t say enough about these films. This one is about Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks.  8 points in 8 seconds to win in the playoffs? However, very little beats Scottie Pippen telling Spike Lee to park his keester. It’s gonna be a good week.

    Sidednote, Tuesday is March 16. Or, 3:16 for those more WWF-minded. Stone-Cold Stunner your friends! It’s a St. Pats high school tradition.

  • The Festival of Dionysius!

    In case anyone of you haven’t heard of this yet, Maria would like to make sure everyone knows about this. It probably gonna be awesome.

    The International Bedlam Society and the Chicago Art Department come together to bring you three nights of bacchanalia to finish off your winter blues once and for all. This Spring Equinox festival will celebrate the coming season and the god of revelry with theatre, games, food, and drink!
    Gods and Mortals mix at this interactive event hosted by the Son of Zeus himself. Become witness to the Secret Rites in this lush, verdant indoor atmosphere where wine, milk, and honey flow literally from the walls! Explore the darker side of your psyche and participate in the spectacle of the night! A little sparagmos never did anybody harm…
    Each evening will feature different musical guests and an ensemble performance of eight Greek theatre favorites. Written and assembled by the International Bedlam Society, these scripts are pulled from the Ancient Festival of Dionysus and the Greek Masters–Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, and more. See your favorite stories; Zeus, Prometheus, Oedipus, Theseus, Hippolytus, Achilles, Orestes and Pentheus. Retold for the modern, ADD and television-soaked audience, these plays are bawdy, dark, and sharp.

  • Have Mercy, Danny Boy

    elvis_leprechaun

    I’ve been meaning to put up some irish songs ever since the season started. Shamrock Shake season, that is.o-stink-acy I put up a bunch of Shane MacGowan songs in 09 and Saw Doctor’s and (what I thought was funny at the time) Northwestside Irish Mix in 08. I was trying to think of something good to put up for this year, but all I could think of was Elvis doing Danny Boy.

    And I don’t think shes doing the show this weekend, but cuz Erin McGovern now does a show called Second Coming of Celtic Force on sunday mornings Marquette radio, if you need some more celtic music.
