They played my song!Yesterday I wrote about my Inflatable innertube song that I made for Big Brother. They played it! I don’t know if it’ll make it into the TV show but someone caught the video through the live feeds! Watch it! How embarrassing. But at least I had my voice in the Big Brother house and they heard it! The video title incorrectly credits the voice as “Jase” who is a house guest who was previously eliminated and came up with the original “blow-up innertube” song. The next wake up call is supposedly by Allison, the first evicted house guest.
D-List E-List celebrityWhy do I open my mouth? Why do I have this need to get involved when and where I shouldn’t? CBS was asking people to record “wake up calls” that will be played to the house guests all night long. So of course I just had to put something together. I wrote a song and it goes something like this (isn’t that how you are supposed to introduce a song?):
If you haven’t watched this season of Big Brother, then my song makes no sense. And after I sent it I thought that I’m going to die of embarrassment if that song makes it on national TV. And the people who know me and watch the show will never let me live it down. So I hope it’s never played. Ever. Ever. Why did I do that? I don’t know. I just felt I had to do it. This is how I ended up being quoted in a Wired.com article and even a CBS Marketwatch article. What am I thinking? I should become a Fox News commentator:
Spoiler free. Plot free: Lady in the WaterI’ve been a big M. Night Shyamalan fan. I love Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and even The Village. So I was excited to see the teaser trailer for Lady in the water. It seemed interesting and mysterious. I tried my hardest to stay away from any kind of information about the movie because with this movies, it is usually better to go in clueless and be surprised. However, I did manage to skim through some reviews only to be saddened by the negative comments I read. But I couldn’t call myself a fan if I didn’t go see the movie at the theater. So I went tonight. Should you see it? If you like his other movies, definitely! This movie doesn’t have the depth of his other movie. If I had to compare it to one of his other movies, I would say it is like The Village but without the slow parts. It has suspense, a few scares, an interesting if light and simple plot and quite a bit of humor. The audience laughed at the right times and even clapped on a couple occasions when things went right. Don’t expect a movie full of twists and surprises and you won’t be disappointed. This is pretty much a fairy tale, and if you go in knowing this, you won’t feel you wasted your money.
The birds and the beesAm I the only one who just loves the Volkswagen Rabbit commercial? The black and white cars chasing each other, then going inside a tunnel only to come out followed by a bunch of gray cars and the occasional black car with a white strip? All accompanied with a great song about the birds and the bees. They breed like rabbits! You might be a Floridian if …Melanie, an ex-coworker from Kansas, now works for a company whose corporate office is based out of Florida so they get Florida-themed emails once in a while. She shared with me one of those “you might be XXXX if ….” lists that go around the tubes in the Internets. Now, I can’t quite check most of them off since I’ve only been here for slightly over 5 months, but I’ll get there. Oh yes I will! Someday I’ll be cool like Joshy Josh. “Down South” means Key West “Panhandling” means going to Pensacola. You think no-one over 70 should be allowed to drive. Flip-flops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church. No, wait, flip flops are good for church too, unless it’s Easter or An alligator once walked through your neighborhood. You smirk when a game show’s “Grand Prize” is a trip or cruise to You measure distance in minutes. You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt. You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls. All the local festivals are named after a fruit. A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level. You know the four seasons really are: almost summer, summer, It’s not soda, cola, or pop…it’s coke, regardless of brand or flavor, Anything under 95 is just warm. You’ve hosted a hurricane party. You go to a theme park for an afternoon, and know when to get on the You pass on the right and honk at the elderly. You understand the futility of exterminating cockroaches. You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee and Withlacoochee. You understand why it’s better to have a friend with a boat, than have a Bumperstickers on the pickup in front of you include: various fish, NRA You were 8 before you realized they made houses without pools. You were 12 when you first met someone who couldn’t swim. You get angry when people say “Florida isn’t really part of the SOUTH” You’ve worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas. You know what the “stingray shuffle” is, and why it’s important!
Dance around the world (2.0)A few months ago I linked to a video about a guy who travels around the world and dances at each location, each exotic location. Then he edited it all together for an awe inspiring and funny video. Here’s his new video and it’s just as cool as the first one. What a lucky guy.
Head On. Apply directly to the forehead.Head On. Apply directly to the forehead. Watch this new and improved Head On commercial. Mission: DeathMission:Space, or THE DEATH MACHINE!!!!! as I like to call it, almost claimed another victim. It’s a DEATH MACHINE!!!!! I tell you and no one listens to me! Actually, they have signs EVERYWHERE, and they have repetitive videos warning you using text and voice. When you enter you MUST make a selection on whether you want to go on the spinning version of the non-spinning version, and they give you a piece of paper with warnings written on it in multiple languages that you carry through the line with you. Then you have to turn the paper in before you board, and then you watch more warnings. Finally they ask you to give them a thumbs up if you are ready to board. What else can they do to tell people NOT to get on the ride if they are not in good health? Josh thinks that they need to rehab it into a nice restaurant but then he thinks that there would be a bunch of choking deaths. He added that maybe it’s built on an Indian burial ground or that Disney is being punished for domestic partner benefits. Disney’s next ride-based movieThe Soup (the only show on E! worth watching) has been able to get a hold of a trailer for Disney’s next ride-based movie. Check it out. I can’t wait to see it.
