Trailer for Next Three Days

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Filmed in Pittsburgh, this movie stars Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, and Liam Neeson. It’s a giant poster for my hometown’s city, complete with gratuitous aerial shots. I am okay with this fact. The plot focuses on Russell Crowe trying to get his wife, Elizabeth Banks, out of jail because she allegedly didn’t kill whoever they say she allegedly did.

Pirates sweaters are all the rage. The building they are alluding to as the prison is the actual county jail. When you drive over the Liberty Bridge you can sometimes see the inmates playing basketball through the windows.

THAT’S MY CITY. eeee. I wonder if they managed to make it look clean.

Auto tune the news: Bed Intruder

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I had heard of the story of the attempted rape and say the accompanying video, but I had noooo idea Autotune the news got a hold of it.

I’d get more into the story, but I have to catch up on the Autotune news. This song better show up in clubs and bars.

i can listen to him all day

While researching capacitive touch styluses for ipads, I came across this video reviewer with a sweet accent.

and for those looking into styluses, the final ruling on the styluses were:
mi-stylus: BOO
pogo: all around good
dagi: good, excellent for writing notes

He does have a point: cushiony things are good to lay against. Also, black towels are badass (as long as they get washed in some sort of colorfast soap so they don’t lose their deep dark blackness. Grey-blue towels are not badass.)

But I Want to See

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Oh Victoria’s. Really?

nips or gtfo

“Invisible” lace. So let’s get this straight: you’re advertising the see-through lace isn’t actually see-through? This lace effectively airbrushes your body to not appear to have nipples or any type of crotch hair or skin folds or anything, rendering you more like a cartoon character than a real human. Reminds me of cheaper underwear that can’t afford to use real lace and has to use more fabric for support of the fake lace.

Are we all starring in a movie we need to make PG-13? Can’t have an R so we can get the kiddies? Maybe this is just a way the lingerie clothing company is allowing people to be ashamed of the normal parts of their bodies, things that are supposed to be there. I could have sworn that the fun part of having lacy underthings was the peep show factor or maybe getting to see something intimate (or just plain dirrrty for those of you that need the kink factor), like how the Rockettes and can-can dancers do high kicks that could lead to a peek at the lady bits.

Oh well.

Sexy Wedgies: do not want

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Victoria’s Secret has been pushing their “cheeky” undies a lot in the last year. My inbox is full of ads for them. While they can have adorable patterns, one feeling is clear: this underwear is made to give wedgies.

if this girl actually eats, I see staining in her future

Now, I don’t know about you, general readers aged 19-27, but I am in probably the best shape I’ll ever be and my skin is as elastic as it can get. I’m going to lounge about the indoor homestead in my underoos every chance I can. This lack of clothing means I need underwear that actually covers my buns to prevent cat hair and whatever from getting on my tush, as well as protecting furniture from smelling like ass. Besides my freewheeling need to bare almost it all, I also like to be able to walk without feeling something gathering in my crack area. With or without additional layers of clothing, it’s a thing I have to not have anything uncomfortable in the no-zone.

There is a ton of underwear that are cute or sexy and also cover all the buns. Some of those designs even hug the contours of the butt muscles that are exposed in the cheekies.

Are Cheekies cute? Yes. Are they functional? No way, unless you like your anus outsides getting rubbed raw from fabric.

I get emails from this guy whenever he releases some new stuff. I found him when I was looking at video game covers. He has a nice guitar and nice skills. This video shows he also has hilar video skillz with sweet backdrops. He usually does songs like the Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest boss theme. He seems like a nice guy. I would like to jam with him.

Check out his website for his sweet banner haha. Sooo good.

I think it’s kind of foxy.

In other news, I’m trying out a new online “job” of sorts, on Gamecrush. Someone decided that dudes will pay to play video games with girls. There are the dumber, casual games on the website itself are more for people seeking out cam-whores who will play e-checkers and show off their boobies. The (in my opinion) better games are on xbox 360 for now, and you can play Gears of War 2, GTA IV, COD: Modern Warfare 2, and Halo 3. Those games do not require a webcam, you just have to be able to talk on a headset. I like Gears of War 2, and I have the ability to speak to anyone with a pulse, so I signed up at the suggestion of the beef. The ladies are called Playdates, and the dudes are Players. The playdates have a profile that say whether they’re online or not and if they are feeling “flirty” or “dirty” or (gasp!) both. Read as: flirty “LET’S PLAY GAMES WEEE” and dirty “I will take my clothes off on a camera for your enjoyment.” So selecting both means you actually like playing the games and taking off your clothes. I will be sticking to flirty.

The site is in beta mode right now. I’m not sure how many dudes are actually on it. The site is shrouded in ~mystery~ to the people on it. Browsing through the forums gave me more of an idea of the competition, but there wasn’t much happening. My profile is up, and I have some times set up so guys know when to reach me. I’m thinking I may need a picture with my glasses on for the dork effect. Ehh. Is it whoring? A little, but I’m more interested in swapping stories while shooting at giant white monsters crying GROOOUND WAAALKERS GRAAAUUUH and helping a dude have more confidence in himself when talking to the ladies. Just, you know, he’ll pay me for it.

I kind of need a real job.

my professional review of Iron Man 2

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

It was fun.

Scarlett Johansson was not a good choice for her character. At all. Did she screen test?

Robert Downey Jr. + Gwyneth Paltrow = crazy cute awesome silly.

Don Cheadle was smooooth.
