Dear Unidentified Caller,
If you’re gonna call me more than half a dozen times from an unlisted number over the course of 10 minutes, please have the dignity to leave a fucking message. If you really wanted to talk to me, you would have the common decency to do that at the very least.
KTHXBYE,
Jason
Sarah tried to make friends with a goat over the weekend. The goat had other ideas tho…
So, Gilmore Girls is back — and after watching the season opener, I’ve gotta say that I’m mildly pleased with the show under its new management. The Rory/Lorelai interplay is still mostly there, and that’s one of the things that keeps me coming back. Some of their conversations missed a little of that Amy-Sherman Palladino sparkle and pop, but I enjoyed pretty much every scene that they shared.
Rory: How can you not have ice?
Lorelai: You know I don’t cook!
With that being said, the show’s going to need to work a bit harder to keep me watching. I don’t care how much of the hots I have for Lauren Graham — or how clever I think the writing can be — I seriously can’t take much more of this broody Lorelai crap.
I’ve invested enough time in this show that I honestly hope that they can keep me watching. If they don’t, it’s quite possible that they’ll end up losing me to House.
Here’s a crazy, awesome stop motion advert for UK based online magazine The First Post.
This isn’t the best cover of my second favorite Postal Service track, but Ben gets lots of points for inventiveness. Dropping an s-bomb where there wasn’t one before sort of amuses me too…
Leonard just tipped me off to a couple of really awesome new features on Upcoming:
Great work guys! I hope I didn’t steal anyone’s thunder by posting this here tho…
Brendon Lloyd has done a scathingly funny letter from the RIAA to an alleged illegal downloader for McSweeney’s that’s really worth reading. Check it out:
This is your notice that you will be sued for one of the following:
- Downloading a song from the Internet.
- Singing the “Happy Birthday” song.
- Other.
- None of the above.
If you would prefer not to be stripped of your home and dignity, please send us $3,750 in the return envelope. If your toddler has been named in this lawsuit, explain to them that the fruits of their labor as an adult will go to pay a debt that will ultimately lead to their death at a young age due to their inability to afford medical insurance. Toddlers never understand that, but they’ll get the point if you make them cry. If your household pet has been named in this lawsuit, it will be euthanized.
It’s no secret that I loves me some “Gilmore Girls“. So while I’m excited to see the show come back, I’m also sad that I have to make a choice between it and “House” as of next week.
I guess BitTorrent and my brother’s roommate’s TiVo will have to fill in the blanks for me…
