Pokemon

pokemen:

I promise the number of posts will slow down soon.

Anyone who has a history with Pokemon will understand the excitement of starting a new game.

But anyway, Oak just caught the wild Pikachu that was about to go crazy on me. I think Pallet town needs some kind of government intervention, because apparently if I take a single step outside the city limits, wild electric rats just attack. Luckily Professor Oak is around to protect the 10-year-old boys in town.

My friend Ryan and I played Pokemon for about ten minutes. Our brief and collected rantings are available at pokemen.tumblr.com Yes. Wow.

The above was written by Ryan.

An email from my sister

lesleybarth:

Yo broskies,

  I had a crazy dream last night.  I went to the top of the universe (?!) where I met the ruler of the universe, named HOBBOB and he looked like Jabba the Hut but thinner.  He proceeded to give me rule over the universe, because I defeated his enemy.  So we (you, me and mom) were traveling around, witnessing my lands, and I decided that because I was the ruler of the universe, I was invincible (pretty logical conclusion, right?)  Turns out that’s not in the ruler-of-the-universe bylaws. 

But I didn’t know that at the time, and I convince you to jump in icy water with me, because I was sure we would survive.  You almost died.   You then got really small and mom and I went around the basement of the universe -which, if you care, is filled with squash courts - and tried to escape the water.   You then died (now the size and shape of a small spoon - like baskin-robins-sampling-spoon small), despite my best efforts to save you.  
 
I think HOBBOB played me.

Hope you’re doing well!

Love,

Lesley

Late to bed and late to rise makes a man awesome, awesome and tired.

Worst Show Ever

Awesomely unbelieveable. Amazingly terrible. The audience was a paradox. Lots of fun. Honestly.

"The Room" just arrived on DVD.

You’re tearing me apart, Tommy Wiseau!

Michael Steele Isn't Crazy

From an interview with GQ: 
Do you think homosexuality is a choice?
Oh, no. I don’t think I’ve ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there’s a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can’t simply say, oh, like, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being gay.” It’s like saying, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being black.”

Common sense, finally?

The Walkmen - In The New Year from the album You & Me. FANTASTIC song. I saw them a few months ago, opening for The Decemberists. It was probably the best performance I’ve seen since I saw The Swell Season at Bonnaroo last summer.
