Mii Love You Long... OK, Too Obvious?

There has been a lot of video game
blogs on TheDotComrades lately.
What can I say?
I'm channeling my energy to get a rad game system
for my upcoming day of entry into this here
beautiful world.

(you know, so I can sit in my apartment and ignore it)
Well, if you're into the whole Wii and Mii thing...
These people will make a sculpture of your personal Mii

Mushroom Kingdom Vineyards

Sometimes, I have to come to the brutal harsh reality
that some people are just way cooler than I will ever be.



What I want to know, is who drank all of that wine?

My first post....

I'm new to TheDotComrades, but you will be seeing a lot of reviews from me since I don't really have much else to say. Okay, I have been telling everyone I know about this band "Working For a Nuclear Free City" from Manchester. The album is called "Businessmen and Ghosts". I describe them as Coldplay meets The Stone Roses by way of Ride, with a little XTC and Radiohead thrown in. Stylistically they are all over the map but retain their sound consistently. You will be saying to yourself "This is the same band?!" It is so good you will be very pleased. I promise you baby, you'll love it or I'll be a monkey's uncle.

NSFW, Unless It's Your Job To F*$% Matt Damon

I'm a little late in posting the first video.
But I caught the response last night
and I decided to finally post both.
Enjoy the funny.
and here's Jimmy's response from last night



Taxicab Confessions From The Dark Side

Last night I lost in the house pool of Academy Award winners.
(I only got 8 right)
Thankfully I was the only one who correctly guessed
Of course nobody in the household, including myself, 
saw any of the Documentaries that were nominated.
I just thought,
"cool, a movie about a Star Wars cabbie".
Turns out, the movie had nothing to do with Star Wars.
Apparently, Star Wars is fiction which means you can make
Speaking of my favorite far, far away galaxy...
How about a video from an adorable 3-year old
summarizing the plot from the first movie and fourth episode...

Island Rock

Ok, ok, ok...
I'm a huge Lost dork.
So my obsession with a novelty band called
shouldn't be very surprising.
The Others make songs about plot-lines and implement quotes
from the very best show
on television.
It is as genius as it is hilarious.
They write the songs that make the geek-o-sphere sing.
My favorite song so far is Primary Objective.
Since no one has made a video to the song yet...
Here's a video for the song Never Say Never, Dude:

Tastes Like Chicken

Complain about your order at Joe Delucci's
in Lichfield, Staffordshire, UK
and you just might get a hot side of
SUCK MY D___ F___ FACE.
That is exactly what happened to Ms. Claire Watkin when she expressed
her distaste for the restaurant's lack of haste.
Look on the bright side Claire, at least they comped it for you.
I guess it's not terribly surprising that Delucci's is an Italian restaurant.
Which reminds me of my favorite mob movie, Pallies.
Chinese Dentist.

"It's Still Alive"

Hasbro just released the Cloverfield Movie Monster
It retails for $99.99 and here's what's included:

- 70 points of articulation and incredible life-like detail
- Authentic sound
- 14” tall
- 10 parasites
- Two interchangeable heads
- Statue of Liberty head accessory
- Special Cloverfield collector’s edition packaging

How cool is this toy?
I wish I hadn't sold off all of my He-Man toys at all of those family yard sales.
I can just imagine the epic battle unfolding.
The Cloverfield monster survived a lot of military punishing...
But it stands no chance against Teela's onesy.
Only imagination could break through those defenses.

Lost is Back!

It's times like these which make me happy that I moved back to the east coast.
Sure, the odds of running into Evangeline Lilly while eating breakfast have decreased.
But, at least I get my Lost fix THREE HOURS ahead of Hollywoodland.

Some season 4 teasers...

It's good to see Jeremy Davies getting some
quality work.
I'm a big fan of the movie CQ.

Here's another teaser for the new season...


It seems as though our Lost friends will soon find out first hand
(or have prior knowledge of)

When Björk Attacks...

We remember this don't we?
Well...
Björk has done it again.
Attacked another photographer - this time outside of a New Zealand airport.
Apparently, Björk was en route to meet up with her brother in Rivendale.
The reporter's account of the story:
"I took a couple of pictures ... and as I turned and walked away she came up behind me, grabbed the back of my black skivvy (T-shirt) and tore it, as she did this, she fell over, she fell to the ground," he said. "At no stage did I touch her or speak with her."
He said that she didn't say anything during the attack.
The man that was with her did say:
"B, don't do this, B, don't do this."
B?!
B?!
That sound's like Björk's b-boy name.
Of course, it's probably awkward and weird to call someone Björk in the throws of passion.
Just ask my girlfriend.

Domo Arigato, Mr. English

I love robots.
Who doesn't?
They are very versatile.
They can mix drinks.
They can "do it".
I love robots.
Though sometimes, robots can be very annoying.
Saaaay, I notice an overcharge on my cell phone bill. When I call the company to sort it out, my fingers have to stumble through numerous amounts of menus just to have a robot direct me where I need to go.
Very annoying.
Lucky for us, Mr. Paul English has been hard at work obtaining resources to skip directly to humans who can help us vent our organic emotions.
Need to talk to a human about that mysterious credit card charge from insertanyonlinepornshophere.com?

I'm A Wolf With A Leaky Roof

I woke up this morning to a dripping noise- a fat dripping noise (as Forrest Gump would proclaim). I looked up and over to the corner where beads of water were bouncing off of my radiator. It turns out I had a leak coming from the ceiling. I called my landlord, who told me that he'd be in later that afternoon to take care of it. Good grief.

Instead of freaking out and attempting to build an ark with old folded up boxes of cardboard I have hidden under my bed, I instead decide to distract myself from impending flooding by listening to amazing music. Lately, I've been hooked on the new album from Sea Wolf, Leaves in the River.
According to the band's bio on their official website, (www.seawolfmusic.com/bio.html), information on the band is "Coming Soon". This leads me to visit the band's homepage and find that most of the links either lead you to itunes or to their myspace page. Which brings me to a point...
Whatever happened to official band websites? These days a lot of bands just forgo the whole website and instead settle for a myspace page. I mean, I don't want to be friends with all the artists that I enjoy, only a select few. Ok, only one-Bjork.
I really have to applaud artists that stay creative with actual websites, such as Ryan Adams.
ANYWAY...
Though their website leaves me empty and grumpy inside like twelve ounces of coffee on an empty stomach, Sea Wolf is perfect music for a rainy day, even when the rain is a leak from the ceiling in the corner of your room.
Here's one of my favorite songs on the album: "Black Dirt"
and here's the video for their single "You're A Wolf:

Hair, Kitty Kitty

Before you jump to conclusions and argue about how silly it is for cats to wear wigs, consider all the cats out there struggling with the ill effects of chemeowtherapy whilst they battle feline cancer. I mean, don't they deserve to look as furry as all the other healthier cats? Thanks to Ms. Julie Jackson cats can feel pretty again, with Kitty Wigs™.

Kitty Wigs™ offers cats the latest in kitty hairstyles. The four choices range from 'pink passion' to the classic 'bashful blonde'. I was, however, surprised not to find more variety, such as 'the landing strip' or 'bermuda triangle' or 'the chaplin moustache'. Since I'm not a staunch believer in glabrousness, I guess I will have to settle with designing my own styles with possibly The Greatest Christmas Present Ever.

Everybody Cut, Everybody Cut!

Kenny Loggins is 60!
It was only 5 years ago did I realize that the words were "Highway to The Danger Zone".
I always thought it was "I Weighed To The Danger Zone".
I guess I thought 'weighing' or 'to weigh' was Pilot Jive-Speak.

The Begining of The End

Here it is...
The first blog since I last spoke.
The fingers are rusty.
My mind is cobwebby.
So... I begin with...

The End

Welcome all.
And i'm off like honeymoon pajamas.
