Ka-Tet of 19: September 2005

Happiness

So, I have been so excited recently. I have re-discovered one of my favorite shows and I'm about to re-discover 2 more.

I just purchased the DVD of Greg the Bunny, the entire series. It was honestly one of the funniest things ever on TV. It was witty, intelligent and wonderfully written... hence it was cancelled before the season even ended. But, I strongly recommend this show to anyone who is slightly warped. And for those of you with cable, IFC (the Independent Film Channel) is running new episodes of G the B.

The other 2 shows... Well, the first one is another case of a funny well written show that lasted less than a season... The Tick. Not the cartoon, but the live action one with Patrick Warburton. Again, the entire series is available on DVD.

And in October a DVD is coming out for any of you Nickleodeon fans from the late 80's/early 90's. Duckula is coming to DVD. Yes, that's right the original vegetarian vampire duck. I can't wait.

And lastly, there is another less than a season series (I'm telling you, the best stuff gets canceled) that I was advised was wonderful and I must get.... Firefly. I am a Joss Whedon fan and all, but I'll probably wait and see the movie first and if I like it, I'll get the series.

So, yes I know it may seem small and simple, but such are the things that make me smile.

All of these shows get my

Pull the string, Pull the string

So, next week I have to go to Phoenix and be in this lame ass corporate skit for our sales force. Several things make this lame:

1. With the exception of yours truly, the "cast" is all made of of the sales managers of the various home loan centers in our region. In other words, for an actor, this is the 3rd ring of hell.

2. Non of the people we are performing for give a shit. We are doing this for all of the loan consultants in the region. They don't care fuck all about the happy little skits in this demonic abortion of a variety show that we are putting on. The care about sales and the processing systems working. Thats it.

3. And this is the worst one... the skit I'm in is a version of Star Wars and it has been so aptly re-named to Loan Wars. Now, fine, you want to do a take off on Star Wars, no problem. But then you should have someone write it who at least has a vague concept of the 6 films... or at least the original holy trilogy. Worst case, have someone who knows the films edit the fecal matter that was written. Instead, I have to play C-3PO in this circus of shit. I'm not bragging (as I freely admit that I am not a writer) but I could have written a better script drunk and with the pencil in my ass.

Oh well, such is life. At least I'm out of the office for 2 days. I was able to sidestep one HUGE landmine. I booked my own room and feigned ignorance that we were supposed to do it through the corporate system. Why may you ask... because booking it through corporate means they would assign me a roommate. No fucking way! It's bad enough I have to go do this shit, I'm not rooming with some schmuck I don't even know.

Oh well.

Cars, porn and beef

Football, beer, shit, fuck, smack that ass. Sorry, my posts have been so cutesy lately, I needed to feel a bit more manly.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink some Jack watch Skin-a-max and eat some raw meat.

Right from the teat

Furry Fun

OK, for those of you who see me as nothing more than a filthy bastard, I bring you some G rated cuteness.

Another Dose of Funny

Yes, I have another round of pictures to bring a smile to you, my lovely reader. Enjoy

Seems like a fair price to me

Fuck my neighbor

Man, good review or eternal damnation

Probably all Funyuns, video games, and Sublime CDs

Yeah, I want my dog to be just like... oh, wait

Nuff said

I'll Win yo' case and git yo' mutha fuckin' money!

Now, I'm kinda kinky, but....

Takin' a Dump (metaphorically speaking)

So, I have been avoiding writing (or blogging, if you will) because I was waiting until I had something funny, clever, witty or interesting to say. Then it hit me, I'm none of those things so I'll just write about what's been happening and bullshit of that flavor.

Let's see... I've been working quite a bit. My day job has been a bit demanding lately (although, obviously not at the moment - hence the blogging) and that is preferable to down time as I get bored and the 9 hour day takes about 15 hours.

The show has been fun. We did 2 shows back to back on Sunday (whew... no, not exhausting at all) as they were benefit performances for Hurricane Katrina victims. Adding to the physical draining effects was an emotional element as the 1st show's audience was comprised mostly of New Orleans evacuees who are living at the Cashman Field convention center here in Las Vegas. Yeah, that was rough. Especially seeing a little 4 year old girl who refused to ever let go of her little suitcase. Kinda makes things real in a way that CNN can never do. Of course, even this came with it's share of bullshit as we had to endure the addition of 2 "special guests," the Lt. Governor of Nevada, Lorraine Hunt and a douchebag lounge singer friend of her's who thought he was as big as Sinatra but in reality was a drunken prick, Dennis Bono. Man, I applaud their initiative in setting this up to help others... but it was really to boost her running for Gov and to give him a sense of self-importance which they both rubbed generously in all of our faces. Not to mention that neither of them spoke to a single evacuee the entire night.

Other than that, not a whole hell of a lot has been going on in this stretch.

5000 Words

So, I know I haven't written in a while. First I was sick then all of this Hurricane Katrina stuff and my soon to be father in law came to visit. I didn't mean to lump his visit with the other two bad things... it was great to see him and we had a lot of fun... I just meant I was busy.

Plus... well, I just haven't had much to say lately. So, in lieu of writing a bunch of pointless bullshit, I thought I'd led the pictures do the talking. Plus, with all of the dark and heavy things happening over the last few days... I thought everyone could use a laugh.

Enjoy:

I just thought this would be an AWESOME desk!
