“Weird Al” would play the
Super bowl halftime show if
They were to asked him.
AWESOME!!!
I would totally watch that. I don’t generally make an effort to watch the Super bowl, but I would if “Weird Al” were doing the halftime show. I’d probably stop watching after the halftime show was over (and find something else to do as I half-watched before it), but that would be something I’d love to catch.
The internet down;
And a royal relative
Who isn’t amused.

Ok, so it wasn’t exactly down; it was a protest that had something like 7000 participants.
And Pippa should probably try to use the attention to her advantage; as I understand it, she has a business she could be plugging, and I think I heard she has a book she’s going to publish. So, she could use the attention to bring light to those things. Heck, she could even pick some sort of charitable organization and bring light to that at well. At least it can be truly said that she didn’t ask for the attention, it was thrust upon her; but now that she has it, she might as well use it.
I just heard that Johnny Depp said, “regardless of what [The Rum Diary] makes in, you know, Wichita, Kansas, this week — which is probably about $13 — it doesn’t make any difference. … a lot of times, outside the big cities in the States, they don’t want that.” I find this outrageous. Wichita isn’t just about making planes (even though it is called The Air Capital of the World). And I bet it has more culture than most people outside of the state realize. I don’t even go to Wichita all that much and I thought about Wichita Grand Opera and the Tallgrass Film Fest right away, and shortly after that I thought of River Fest. For Depp to imply that the people of Wichita, Kansas are ignorant hicks who can’t appreciate an ‘intelligent film’ is just completely unfounded, and he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
An ignorant comment about ignorance?
NaNoWriMo is here again, and, of course, I’m participating. Day 1 I wrote 1713; day 2 I got to 3439, day 3 I got to 5113, day 4 I got to 6825, day 5 I got to 8507, and day 6 I got to 10200. Interestingly, Devo Spice is participating this year; I wish him good luck.
In other news, there was an earthquake in Oklahoma last night that was big enough that I felt it at about 10:55. I thought it was just a wind gust at first, even though it was rather sustained for that.
In still other news, on the local news they did a special on one of a kind towns in Kansas, and they asked people to write on Facebook what makes their town one of a kind. Well, I don’t have a Facebook account, and I would have felt almost as compelled to write about other towns I’ve been to as the one I live in now. And, besides, if they wanted to find what made any one town ‘unique’ they could just go to that town’s Wikipedia page and look for something. Now, I know that not every town will have much more than a stub, in which case uniqueness would be hard to find, or, if the town’s small enough, it may not have a page at all (I don’t know what they consider relevant or notable).

(Guess the ‘Jr.’ is implied)
Has a monument.
Stop calling them hobbits;
Hobbits are adorable.
They are not.
Call them ghouls or goblins,
Trolls, fiends, hellions, or gremlins,
Even imps would do in a pinch.
But, they definitely aren’t hobbits.
I heard a story about Ida Maria on NPR. She has synesthesia, and sees colors associated with words and sounds. I’ve always kind of wondered if this would be distracting. But, thinking about it a little, I think the worst part about it would probably be that other people wouldn’t perceive things the way you did, and so communicating with others could be rather difficult. But, it sounds like she’s figured out how to deal with that, and knows how to perform with other musicians.
