5 Second Movie Review – Charlie And The Rabbit

January 22, 2010 in 5 Second Movie Review

While not many of us can get to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, we can see the official entries on the YouTube Screening Room’s Sundance Chanel. Since you can’t watch the Prop h8 trial, why not check out “Charlie and the Rabbit”? It’s about a little boy who watches a “Bugs Bunny” cartoon, and then sets off to find himself a wascally wabbit of his own.

The Return Of The Micro-Fiction Thing

January 22, 2010 in Micro-Fiction Roundup

Hello Everyone, I’m new here and I want to say a few things before you read my entry to the Micro-Fiction Roundup, previously and proficiently kicked-off by SAMURAIPANDAPOETRY. Think of me as a guest host, perhaps a bit of a greenhorn here but willing and able (I hope) to temporarily fit into some very big paws.

A few days ago, I was encouraged to join Wordsmoker by a Facebook friend known to you all here as BIGLEGGEDWOMAN. So, I joined, read some stuff, made a couple of comments, and sent in a 50 word story called a Mini-Saga. A Mini-Saga is a very short story – just fifty words – with a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is the story I submitted:

5 Minute Book Review – Infinite Jest

January 22, 2010 in 5 Minute Book Review

Infinite Jest, written by David Foster Wallace in 1996, is 1,079 pages long. The book measures about 4½ x 6 inches and weighs close to two pounds. The softcover costs $18 in the US. There is cloud imagery on the cover and the title appears to be on a slant.

Someone once told me that sex sells, so please see the picture to left and then buy this book from me.

Thank you.

Let’s Hunt And Kill Scott Baio

January 21, 2010 in Popular Pastimes

Yeah – why don’t we? I mean – fuck it, let’s get him. Everyone. Everyone across America, hunt this fucker down and kill him. It’s not that difficult. You can maybe follow his Twitter feed or some shit like that, work out his general location down to a mile or so, and then just ask cab drivers from there on in to take you to him. They’ll want a piece of this waste of fucking oxygen, too. I’m serious. Hunt him down. Then kill him.

Vote Marlboro/Wal-Mart In 2012

January 21, 2010 in America The Fucked

Oh, America. You really do confuse me sometimes. One minute you’re putting men on the moon, inventing the internet and producing Stephen Colbert, the next minute you’re producing Miley Cyrus, inventing cheese-jizz in a can and putting your entire democratic founding principles on a kitchen work-surface and hitting them repeatedly with a big spoon until they swell and begin to drop off. Really – what gives?

My Dull Life – New Toothpaste Edition

January 21, 2010 in My Dull Life

I just got a new tube (canister?) of Sensodyne iso-active toothpaste.

It is what I would imagine a mouth-full of mint-flavoured shaving cream to taste like.
