A cute little skit with Will Ferrell called The Landlord. I found it terribly funny for how low concept it is.

(Confession: I find Will Ferrell strangely attractive with his 'fro.)

Quick break from writing my thesis. (I just finished the second act!)

I'm still having trouble embedding YouTube videos, so here's the link to next week's The Office teaser. I've already watched it five times, but now my break is over. :(

ETA: Five minute break extension. Saw Hot Fuzz yesterday. It was hilarious and perfect, and since we saw it at the Drafthouse, all the staff were wearing short-sleeved police uniform shirts, and everyone was brought one mini-powdered sugar doughnut. Oh, Drafthouse. (And also, oh, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I heart you both tremendously.)

Okay, here's my rant on the VT thing. Which is not even about the shooter, because I can't get into that right now. It's about the stupid frak who ran out to take cell phone coverage.

Hey, idiot? See those cops out there? That are trying to protect people's lives? Okay, let them do their jobs. Do not distract them. Do not RUN CLOSER TO THE BUILDING WHERE A CRAZY PERSON IS KILLING DOZENS OF PEOPLE so that you can capture it on your cell phone. Did you hear the panic and fear in that cop's voice when he screamed at you to get away? That's because STUDENTS ARE DYING in there and you're getting in his GODDAMN WAY, YOU ASSHOLE.

It pisses me off that you're alive and on CNN like you're some kind of hero, and 32 kids are dead. If I ever see you in real life, I will punch you in the throat.

I've been working on my thesis report for two hours. Works just decided to Not Respond randomly in the middle of typing for no apparent reason even though nothing else was acting strangely.

I lost four pages.

SON OF A FRAKKING BITCH. Works, Works, what hast thou dunst?

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'"


When I was in high school, I discovered my dad's Kurt Vonnegut collection, and tore through it in a matter of weeks. More than anything else, I remember the language, how perfect and beautiful it could be, how sometimes a line or a sentence would strike me and I'd have to set the book aside for a minute to just let the words settle in. RIP, Kurt.
