Lies that make no sense

So I got a book in the mail today from Bookmooch, well not from Bookmooch, but through the service. Anyway, the person sending the book marked "sent" way back in December. However, the post mark on the package was more than a month after that. Why mark the thing "sent" before it is sent? I'm not really complaining, I'm just curious.
Bookmooch, for those who aren't in the know, is a site where you can trade books through the mail. Nifty.

Here's my current inventory. Not much, I know, but I've got a few I'll be throwing on there soonish.

Joe Biden is my homeboy

G.I. Joe

more graph humor and song chart memes

So there's a new G.I. Joe movie coming out sometime soon. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the Transformers movie. I actually did enjoy the Transformers movie, as it was, however it did leave me wondering why they had to screw with the established story/characters so much. Bumblebee was a Bug, not a freakin' Camaro, and the old Camaro they used was way better than the new one that they were trying to sell for Chevy. Oh well. Now back to G.I. Joe for a moment. The publicity still that I saw for Destro has me worried.

Is it too much to ask that Destro has a freakin' chrome head? If you aren't going to give Destro a chrome head, then don't include a character named Destro in the movie. Maybe there's going to be some sort of transformation during the movie or perhaps they'll chromize (chromate?) his head in post-production.
And then we come to the Cobra Commander. Hopefully he'll have the mask on the whole time because I don't think I'll ever be able to put the face of Joseph Gordon-Leavitt (of 3rd Rock fame) with the image of the Cobra Commander.



Does that guy look evil to you? Now the Baroness, it looks like they knew what they were doing with that one, and knowing is half the battle.

here's my new video creation for patrick bower's tune "see ya when we see ya." it seems the embed link doesn't work, so there's the direct link under the picture. while you're checking it out, sign up for vimeo. the quality is a whole lot better than youtube. but if you love youtube and would feel like you were cheating if you used another service, here's a youtube link for ya.

Zagnut in the movies

the first time i had ever heard of zagnut was in the movie Beetlejuice. today, i watched the will smith movie Hancock and finally the wonderfulness of the zagnut once again returns to the big screen, this time as a weapon that Hancock uses against a would-be convenience store robber. zagnut saves the day, sort of. does this product placement mean that the zagnut bars will once again be visible on store shelves near you? one can only hope.

The Goodness of Jarvis

I'd like them to play my birthday party.

Vampires

So, I watch a lot of Angel and Buffy. I DVR them to catch some of the episodes I never saw during their original broadcasts. So, after seeing how many times a vampire is killed because a wooden chair just happens to be broken during a scuffle, I have to wonder why a vampire would ever keep wooden furniture in his or her home. If/when I become a vampire, I'm strictly going to decorate my lair with metal, glass and plastic.

So I caught this Vampire Weekend band's video the other day on MTV2's Subterranean show. I had heard good things about this group and perhaps, because of the name, I had expectations of rockingness, but holy crap do they suck. Jinky, tinky pop that goes nowhere and says nothing. Not that pop music has to say anything, I guess. And on a side note, is there some requirement that everyone now strap their guitars as high as possible on their bodies?
