Smoke & Mirrors

Ok, I had a blog planned for tonight, but after watching part of The Sound of Music and then all of War, Inc and then reading other people's blogs and then realizing how much background I have to do for the post I was planning on doing I decided it would be easier to fall back on You Tube. War, Inc. I love John Cusack, but this movie kinda sucked. Wait, no, it just plain sucked. But it did have Joan Cusack being crazy, and that's alright. I'd love to hear her lose it while doing Peep and the Big Wide World. "Shut the fuck up, duck!" I love Peep, even though my kids don't. Ungrateful little...

Anyway, I'm going to go work on this other post. Then I'll give up and work on lying in bed reading my new book, The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. Supreme Leader got me Anathem by Neal Stephenson, but I'm gonna' hold off a bit before starting that big boy. This is an ad from a local credit union, thought it would give you a laugh.



And before I go, a big thank you to Surfer Jay who got me a copy of Irish Gumbo's banner. I tried and failed to get one for yesterday's post. Thanks, Surfer Jay.



Oh, and go check this picture on Surfer Jay's site.

  3. John Cusak is awesome. Haven't seen War Inc. yet so I'll take your word that it's bad. I love when Joan freaks out too...

    Commercial? BWAH HA HA!! I'll have to send my brother up there. He's been bald since he was 18.

  4. Yes, War, Inc definitely sucked. It would have been a lot better if they had left Hilary Duff at the Disney Channel, but it still wouldn't have been great.

    Enjoy your book!

  6. Damn it! Where's the snooze button on this thing?
    Dreaming about John Cusack will make me late, but WORTH IT.

  8. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

    But, you're forgiven. Especially since you just went through the Great Vomit War of 2008.

  12. Finally, someone else who likes "Peep and the Big, Wide World"! Boo-Yaahh!! And did you know that the title song is done by Keb'mo? AWESOME! I, too, have fantasized about Joan just losing it on the show. That would be hee-larious!

    And how in the hell did Surfer Jay get my banner? Aahh, people always seem to know more than me.

    Neal Stephenson? Dude, did you read "Snow Crash"? One of the best books I have in my library. "Cryptonomicon" was really good too. I didn't realize that he had a new book out, thanks for the tip!

  16. I love how you Canadians have those fancy-schmantzy spellings for regular shit, like cheques. Makes you seem so much more civilized. (Or is that civilised?) Which, let's face it, you totally are.

  17. Oh that's right. You're Canadian.
