Medieval Tech Suppport

From Norweigian comedy duo Øystein og Meg (Øystein and Me), a medieval monk learns how to use his brand new piece of technology, a “book”.

My hero!

When I grow up and move to a fantasy world where all my pipe dreams come true, I’m going to marry Sendhil Ramamurthy, star of Heroes, a show I’ve never seen although I noticed this guys handsome mug in the commercials.

Boringest Oscars Ever!

I couldn’t do it. I abandoned all hope of entertainment while Céline was caterwauling in that horrible dress. All the awards anyone cares about (other than the nominees, of course) were saved for the end for some unknowable reason, leaving the first drab two hours like a platter of celery sticks when we were expecting petit fours. And Ellen, sorry, was not at her best. I hear Helen Mirren won. Shocking…

Best line of the evening from the ultra super hunky winner of best short film, Ari Sandel, on his West Bank Story, a reworking of West Side Story taking place between Israelis and Palestinians:

I made a comedy musical about Israelis and Palestinians that takes place between two falafel stands in the West Bank …

The only film from the whole dreary mess I haven’t seen yet that I now want to.

Pointer Sisters at their coolest!

I have loved this Pointer Sisters track recorded for the coolest Sesame Street vignette ever since I before I was toilet trained!

Meu amor

When I grow up, I’m going to marry Rodrigo Santoro, Brazilian cutie with a killer smile and latest newly-discovered Lostaway they added because they’d killed off half of their main characters and made the rest too irritating to stomach.

Fighting crime isn’t always glamorous

Buy me a Mac or I will totally perish

Buy me a Mac or I will totally cease breathing. It’s true! I will be completely unable to continue living if I do not have a Mac Pro Book or Pro Book Mac or whatever by … um … Thursday. Totally.

My fusty old PC is around 4 years old and in computer terms that means it’s almost time for the computer senior citizens community (with virtual lawn bowling and everything!) or to have its memories put in cold storage, never to live again, like they just did to Xena Warrior Princess on Battlestar Galactica – harsh.

In other words, the old bag’s gonna croak soon and I’ve already started backing up my iTunes before the inevitable senility kicks in (not mine). But I’m tired of paying money to be enrolled in Microsoft’s crappy beta testing programme. For example, the latest batch of Gates updates slipped into my computer to fix some “hole” they just “discovered” in my Windows XP even though the shit’s been on the market for 5 fucking years makes my Messenger turn all white and freeze, my media player freeze and stutter at surprising times, like when I was watching a Jon Stewart clip and it froze on Dick Cheney’s name and repeated it over and over: “Dick … Dick … Dick … Dick …” Hahahahaha! Awesome.
