Things I like

Some of my friends have been posting 'Best of 2008' type blogs and I was thinking of perpetuating that particular meme, but it's now February and to me it seems too late to do that so I'll make a list of things that I am enjoying right here, right now.

My good friend Mark B. sent me via post a Flaming Carrot action figure. The Flaming Carrot was billed as The First Surreal Super Hero. He had a mask of a giant carrot with flames coming out of the top. He fought villains such as The Artless Dodger who stole worthless crap (like a box of disco records owned by Ernest Borgnine) and then he would make his escape. The Flaming Carrot is one of my top five comic heroes of all time and Mark was kind enough to find his figurine in America's heartland and send it to me. Yay!



Netflix/Xbox 360 have partnered up to let me watch streaming movies on my TV as opposed to on my laptop. I always like the idea of streaming movies from Netflix, but in acutality I kinda hated it because, simply put, I don't really enjoy watching movies on my laptop. Tinny speakers, little screen, bleh. But if I can do the same thing on my regular ol' TV, then it's much cooler. Stereo sound, big screen, comfy chair, wheee! I already thought this was awesome, and then I discovered that the entire series of Kolchak the Night Stalker was available! I'm addicted forever.

ummm...on a quick side note...remember when Madonna was hot?



Now she scares me. Ick.



I like a blog I found through a friend of a friend called superdickery.com where the guy who publishes it spends much time showing how Superman is, well, a dick.



There is also a section called Seduction of the Innocent that shows creepy innuendo-laden pictures and/or photos from old comics that are, um, creepy and innuendo-laden.



March 24th is the DVD release date of season 3 of the Venture Bros. that airs on Adult Swim. An irreverent lambasting of action shows such as Jonny Quest, the Bros. is I think my favoritest show on TV right now. Brilliant characters, funny satire and parody work, daft villains/situations all tied together with overreaching themes of failure and incompetency. Genius.



That's all I got for now...
