I'm attempting to watch Cleopatra. Hmph. For some reason, After 51 minutes into the documentary my DVD freezes, and starts randomly skipping around the whole DVD. No scratchmarks on the DVD, and it's played it before. What gives? If I jiggle the DVD tray I can sometimes get it to play...I wonder if my DVD is going out. I hope not - it's region free and region free PC DVDs are getting harder to find.

Redid the AWFW and Closetspace sites...they're now much more reader friendly.

Graduated to Doom 2.

Imagine Muzak.

And a car alarm.

This will either terrorize you, or fulfill your deepest wishes. :)

What Planet is This?
From the website:
I want you to imagine the following movie: Godfather of Soul James Brown is on the run from the law, with a bounty on his head. He steals the Blues Brothers' car and a wild chase ensues down the streets of Chicago. Except the cops after him are the guys from CHiPS. And Spike is in pursuit overhead in the Swordfish. Oh, and it's 1975. Get the picture? Good, because What Planet Is This is the theme song for THAT MOVIE. When I turned up the volume, the horn section LEAPED OUT OF MY SPEAKERS AND ATE ME ALIVE. [...] Three words: OH HELL YES.

...it had jobs, I'd be Nurse Joy any day.

I had a wierd dream about asking to be on the Saturday Night Live writing team. It's kinda wierd but, while I have SNL dreams pretty seldomly, I have had them for a very very very long time. Makes ya wonder why. Especially since I don't like the newer Saturday Night Live.

For me, the ultimate SNL cast was the first with Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Dan Akroyd and so on. Runner up is the Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks years. To me, those years were the best. I think, though, that the recent cast (Chris Kattan, the guy they get to play George Bush and Sheri Oteri) is terrible. Maybe it's just me, but the humour is funny once. Maybe twice. But doesn't last. Like the Coneheads - yeah they were funny when they showed up the first time. And the second time? Funny because they were spoofing Close Encounters. Then they went of Family Feud. Then they went back to Remulac. They did different stuff.

On the flip side, you have Mango...which is the same joke every time you see him. Just with different guests. Same with the Cheerleaders. Same joke, different cheers, much too long. At least Molly Shannon's Catholic Schoolgirl (I can never remember her name) was put in different situations, and to me, those are the best sketches that team does. Roxbury guys...no thanks. I actually put this cast below the Denny Dillon/Charlie Rocket/Gilbert Godfrey years...I kinda like them.

Then again, they're comedy writers and I'm not. And I still watch SNL occasionally. Sometimes they surprise me with a cool sketch I really dig.
