bit like that, 'cept for my cock

Funniest condom commercial I may have ever seen.

bret, you got it goin' on!

OK. It is official. I have a favorite new show, and it is Flight of the Conchords on HBO. I think I have watched the "Bowie" episode no less than six seven times. No joke. And the number of times I've watched this little gem from that episode would boggle your mind.



You really have to find a way to watch the "Bowie" episode. Because it contains the 3 things that are guaranteed to win a lifelong cult following, at least from me:

1. "1986 David Bowie from the movie 'Labyrinth' ",
2. A song called "Bowie's in Space", which actually says: "Hey Bowie - do you have one really funky sequined spacesuit, or do you have several ch-changes?" and the phrase "groovitational, groovitational pull."
3. Kiwis who respond to questions with "Yeah. No."

So I guess you should also watch the music video for "Bowie's in Space":

congratulations, aaron!!!

Congrats are in order for my good friend Aaron, who has gotten a fantastic position with Ironport | Cisco, and will be moving to SF with his GF Shannon in September. This makes JR and me giddy with delight - it will be great to have old friends in our "new" city.

They were here visiting just a week or so ago, and they went to all those great events with us: the opening of the Dark Matters showing at YBCA, and the Laughing Squid party at Flora Grubb Gardens (see my earlier post). We also dropped by Jenna's for one night of Brett's Birthday Week extravaganza, and had a great time.

When they headed out, they ended up on the plane from hell, and were stuck on the runway for four hours in Disco Plane 2, Electric Boogaloo. Seriously. FOUR HOURS. Of that! I would have lost my mind, and that would be after having a seizure.

Aaron has been quite the jetsetter, because the day after they got back to SA, he turned around and came back out here for a full day of interviews, and since it's a great company and work environment, he fit in and they loved him. Of course, he couldn't get out of SF without more plane trouble, so after JR dropped him off and got back to work, he called to ask JR to come get him, because his flight had been canceled and he couldn't get out until the next day. That sucks, but it gave us an evening to celebrate with a positively glowing Aaron.

I can't stress enough how excited we are to have Aaron and Shannon moving out here. It will be fun helping them find a place to live, and then introducing them to all our favorite SF spots. And it doesn't hurt that that makes one more smart and talented person leaving that company - you know the one.

So congrats, Aaron! You rock!

whatcha gonna do with all that junk?

OMG this is funny. Alanis Morissette's cover of "My Humps"

I've always loved her voice.
