Sea World songYou may have seen that Sea World commercial with the song that goes something like this. *ahem* I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, if you are curious, the song is The Child Inside by Qkumba Zoo, a South African group. If you are into dance music, I recommend it. Scare TacticsI don’t watch a whole lot of TV anymore. I only watch a handful of shows. It looks like TV is getting stupider by the season. I am sick and tired of shows like “The Bachelor” or the infamous “Are you hot?” (thankfully I think this last one was pulled off the air after a couple of episodes.) One of the shows that caught my attention while it was being promoted was The Sci-Fi Channel’s Scare Tactics . When it comes down to it, this is your standard hidden-camera show but with a twist. The point of this show is not to confuse the victim and put them in a surreal situation. The twist is that they scare them. They come up with some freaky situation and put the victim in the middle of it. The previews talked about an alien abduction or a psychopathic hitchhiker. For example, a bunch of guys pick up this hitchhiker who is acting kind of weird. He forces them to pull over and grabs the keys so that they don’t leave without him. While he is taking care of business, the hooks of the scare decide to look in the hitchhiker’s bag, only to see a severed head inside. The victim of course freaks out and that is where the fun begins. It sounds great on paper, unfortunately the execution is less than perfect. The show is still for a few good laughs but they do not take some of the scares far enough. This show has so much potential. For example, there was an episode where the victim is asked to assist a famous person (Shannen Doherty, the host of the show) and she ends up getting kidnaped. The victim had no idea how to react and unfortunately they ended the scare too early. Wouldn’t it be fun to get her involved in the story? With secret messages, phone calls, deception and threatened. Of course we don’t want the victim to suffer too much, but you know, milk the situation for what it’s worth. Unless the scares get a little more involved, I think that they are going to run out of juice very quickly. There are only so many times a
Done for nowI’ve spent the last hour and a half or so messing with the template for the new Movable Type engine for the site. I think I pretty much got it down, I just need to do a few adjustements here and there. But I’m off to the baseball game. It’s Friday. Let’s enjoy it. Uh?What’s up? What’s that? What’s going on? I’m trying to move my site to a Movable Type weblog. This page will probably be messed until later today. Hopefully I’ll figure it out before too long. Your brain cannot process this kind of informationWe just tried some Australian candy at work. It’s called “Stix” and it says “Musk candy”. It looks so pretty, bubblegum pink, little stix, just adorable. The picture I linked to seems to be a different variation of this Australian wonder. It’s the nastiest shit you have ever tried. It’s like a mixture of toothpaste and soap. I tried to wash out the taste with Mountain Dew and it didn’t work. I had to go for real American candy to get my system out of the shock. It’s weird because you know it’s candy and it looks like candy, so you start eating it but the taste hits you. Your brain is trying to process the information “it’s candy!” “but it’s nasty” “but it’s candy”. Finally your brain gives up, your face twitches in pain, and you spit it all out. TailgatingI was in a great mood until some lady cut me off and made me slam on my breaks. She works on campus too. I tailgated her ass all the way to campus.
Legally stonedMy lord, I just woke up from an impromptu nap. That prescription makes me feel stoned. There is no way I can take that tomorrow before work. This is not going to be goodDamn it! I fell for the trap again! My sinusitis didn’t go completely away so my doctor prescribed a different antibiotic and, what I thought, a different decongestant. But no, he gave me the same one. I didn’t realize which one he had given me until after I took it. I’m already drowsy. I should crush it to form a powder and sell it in baggies at raves. CommentsI guess I’ll try the comments thing again and see if anyone who reads this posts.
You know how sometimes youYou know how sometimes you eat something and a few hours later you burp and it tastes like what you ate. Sometimes it’s good. It could be a cheeseburger, or pizza, or that delicious sandwhich with the tangy dressing, or the chocolate peanuty goodness that a Sneakers bar is. Well, tonight, while working out, I kept burping and tasting Taco Bell. That greasy beef-like product they put in tacos. Over and over and over again. No one should be subjected to that.
