Every time I mention to people that I write for a blog on the internet, someone’s bound to mention the idea that I have too much free time.
I feel like this is garbage, but even if it weren’t and I was somehow awash with spare time and not begging the clock to slow down just a little while as I feverishly block out the world to finish the thirty assignments I’ve fallen behind on in the last two or three weeks due to my application of all my attention on three other classes whose final projects seemed more pressing at the time, no matter if that were true, I’ll never ever ever have as much free time as the people who sit around and make these:
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the internet’s crowning achievement. We should all be ashamed.
Between classes and work, I’ve pretty much totally forgotten there ever was a holiday break at all. I’m pressed for time right now even, so no time to refine and present some awesome new content for you all. But it’ll be up quickly enough, and in the mean time, here’s a video that perfectly portrays how I feel inside my head right now, with all the rushing around.
I think I have a little dancer like that flinging herself around inside my brain all the time. And, comment back, readers: I’d like to know what you think of the idea of an every-now-and-again SayNoToCrack webcomic. It probably wouldn’t be a storyline or anything, and it might not even be any good (you’ve seen my art already, soo…yeah). But if you’re interested, I’ll give it a try and we can see from there if it’d be worth anything.
Still enjoying my break, maxin’ and relaxin’. But here’s a shout to you poor saps who get up far too early to shop for presents on this, the Black Friday.
I hope none of you were subjected to this.
Fun side note - I just recently learned that the day before Thanksgiving is known as black Wednesday to some bars, as it is for whatever reason one of the biggest drinking days.
I’m enjoying my break from school. Sleeping in and getting little tasks done. Today I’m going to share another video with you. Not a parody, just…awesome.
Star Wars is one of those amazing things that doesn’t get old. References to it in movies, television shows, jokes, and parodies are still funny somehow. This doesn’t usually happen; for instance, if I told you a Matrix joke right now, or a Finding Nemo parody or something, it’d be completely lame. But Star Wars, for some reason, seems always to stay fresh.
Or at least, that’s what I’m telling myself to justify sharing this gem of a parody with you.
And I thought it was really funny. It starts out as if it were a new take on an old situation, and its overall comedy value was so/so…but then…well, watch for yourself.
I know, I know. I’m sorry. but not really. In the spirit of Halloween’s approach, I’ve assembled a few re-cut trailers to turn something you loved as a child into something dark and horrible.
This one is…okay.
This one, is totally brilliant. I would go see this movie.
This final one is actually pretty creepy. I’ll never look at Mary Poppins the same way again.
Next time I’ll find a scary internet thing that’s not a video for you.
We’ve featured flash mobs here before (such as the last video of our Trigger Happy Montage), but this experiment strikes me as both impressive and bizarre:
The voice you hear is from the MP3 that all participants are listening to. The organizers of the event, Improv Everywhere, had everyone download and start playing an MP3 at the exact same time. Over 800 people joined the mob, whose antics continue below:
I had the volume off the first time I watched, so I had no clue that the second video showed them creating a human bullseye. If you’ve participated in one of these flash mobs let me know - looks like fun, although I’d probably get arrested trying to organize one in my backwoods town.
