Literally Good

I'm a sucker for a good 80's synthpop tune... Tears For Fears rarely disappoints .

Any-who, Dustin McLean put this literal version together over on the You-tube... He writes, "Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do, in this second installment of literal videos!"
His version:

Catching up - Behind the times

According to comic-book guy, "Best movie ever!"....

We had a free HBO preview this past weekend and the family finally got to see the Simpson's movie from 2007. So what! We're only a few years behind...

I remember the media blitz for it and remember going to an avatar creator SimpsonizeMe and digging around my old files, I found...

So here we are, in our finest Simpson glory:Back in summer of '07, Thing 2 was only about 9 months, so I tried updating his avatar, and now (gasp in horror) - I've cut the boy's feet off! (couldn't figure any better way to photoshop from flash...)

The flash animation seems to be a little different. And, I'm sure by the summer, Thing 2 will once again be running around in his birthday suit.

Without a Clue

My wife loves the game and the movie. Me, (shoulder shrug) not-so-much. It was on the tv today and they showed all three endings (if you haven't seen it, it is worth watching).

Thing 1 was happy to watch as she has a new tv rule - no more than 1 hour a day on school nights and 3 allowed on the weekend. So she hen-pecked mom with questions while the movie was on.
Anyway, I thought the movie is funny - some good quotes:

Mrs. White: Well, it's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead, I have a life.
Wadsworth: But, he was your second husband. Your first husband also disappeared.
Mrs. White: But that was his job. He was an illusionist.
Wadsworth: But he never reappeared!
Mrs. White: He wasn't a very good illusionist.

Another funny - Professor Plum claims to work for the World Health Organization, a part of the United Nations Organization - meaning he works for U-N-O W-H-O (terrible, isn't it).
