06.14.07Slash
General (0)If you are friends with me, chances are you have seen Zoolander. One of my favorite parts in the movie is the slashie awards scene for actors *slash* models. I stumbled across designerslashmodel.com yesterday and I can't stop laughing. The video is hilarious. Seriously... watch it now. Twice. I really want to get one of the T-shirts. "Sometimes I wonder... is my work beautiful because I am beautiful or am I beautiful because my work is beautiful? It's probably a little bit of both..." This little project was whipped up by creative ad agency Digital Kitchen... and I've never wanted to work for advertising ...

06.14.07Changing taste
General (4)0614 iTunes-SH, by grizzly_lightning Scott, the photo editor from one of my internships a couple years ago, was a pretty cool guy. We liked to make fun of his nerdiness, but deep down we knew he was pretty cool. I used to always nag him for his taste in music... lots of electronic stuff. I think he listened to it really loud to get pumped up for a late-night video-game fest with some other nerds. I downloaded some music the other night from a music blog I frequent and I listened a couple of times... pretty good stuff. Then I saw ...

06.13.07Get rid of the fluff
General (0)I don't want to be accused of being sexist, so I'm going to quote Dan Rather in this story from MSNBC yesterday. While referring to his successor, Couric, as a “nice person,†Rather said “the mistake was to try to bring the ‘Today’ show ethos to the ‘Evening News,’ and to dumb it down, tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience.†I'm going to go one step further and say that it is not just a male/female issue... Watching the news is becoming nauseating right now -- and not for the reasons it should be. My stomach should ache ...

06.13.07Beautiful night
General (0)0612 Stars-SH, by grizzly_lightning Take a few decent pictures - Check Build a sweet campfire - Check Scare away raccoons - Check Have a good time with the guys - Check Catch a bunch of catfish... OK, four out of five isn't bad... four out of five dentists recommend Crest, so it must be a good number. Danny came out to fish with us tonight... everyone was having good luck except for me. I was using hot dogs as bait, so I think that is my problem. While I wouldn't mind reeling in some monsters, I am happier doing the other four things on the ...

06.12.07FishFishFishFishFishFish
General (0)[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aM2W5n8p3Y] This week my life has consisted of work, sleep and fishing -- not necessarily in that order. I've been fishing for catfish at night with Matt and one of his fraternity guys down on Lake Charleston the past couple of nights. Danny is coming with us tonight for round three. I did some other stuff over the weekend with Mallory, but I've been too lazy to edit those photos and write anything coherent. This video has nothing to do with this post, but I thought it was funny and that I would share it. People think I'm mean and insensitive at ...

06.06.07I Hate Ads
General (0)0605 CN Ad, by grizzly_lightning Anyone that knows me knows my hatred of advertising in newspapers. I know, I know... advertising is the reason I have a paycheck, but whatever. While reading my hometown paper, the Commercial-News, yesterday I noticed this horrible banner ad placement for army recruiting right above a story about a local soldier killed in Iraq. That makes me want to sign up to serve... sheesh. I know it is purely coincidence, but it is still pretty bad. I think running national ads on a local Web site is a huge waste for times like this. The local ...

06.05.07Yawn
General (3)Reuters / Yahoo! News I just finished watching the Republican debates on CNN tonight. I haven't yawned and laughed at the same time this much since that time I inhaled a bunch of laughing gas during sociology class sophomore year. OK, nevermind... that would have required actually going to class, but I'm pretty sure this is what it would have felt like. My favorite answer of the night was Ron Paul's response when asked what the biggest moral issue facing America was and he answered "pre-emptive strikes on other nations"... I think he had some other good points to make but didn't get ...

06.05.07Sneaky Bastard
General (1)0605 Hansel 01-SH, by grizzly_lightning I was sitting on the couch eating some dinner and watching Conan like I do every weeknight when I saw something big and black shoot across the living room floor to somewhere underneath the sofa. That doesn't happen every night. I checked Hansel's tank and sure enough, no hamster. The sneaky rodent piled all of the bedding into one corner and rolled his house on top of it and jumped out. I've never had to put the lid on the tank before, but I will now. After hunting the place for about an hour I finally found ...

06.03.07What the ?
General (1)0602 Ticket-SH, by grizzly_lightning I cleaned out my wallet this weekend and found this ticket. I have no idea what it is for or from or even how long it has been there. So... if you need a red 614212 to win a year's worth of mayonnaise or whatever other contest you might enter, let me know.

06.03.07It’s a keeper
General (1)0603 Danny 02-SH, by grizzly_lightning I went fishing with Danny "catch a ton of bluegill" Williams out at Lake Charleston today. The weather couldn't have been better... not too hot, not too windy... and I got a pretty sweet farmer tan out of the deal. Danny decided to catch a few million bluegill to my handful, but I don't care about that. He also managed to catch himself... I just wanted to catch something. I don't have problems touching bass or crappie, but bluegill squirm around too much. And, I didn't freak out (too much) when I had minnows swimming between my ...
