Let it be known!

Jay Holben, director of the upcoming documentary Camgirls is an uncool American who had never heard of Degrassi until I schooled him so hard he logged off!!!

Seriously, I’m in shock that someone in the world doesn’t know what Degrassi is, either the Next Generation or old school Degrassi Jr. High or High OR, if you’re really old like me, you may even remember The Kids of Degrassi Street. It’s just this huge thing! I had no idea there were people in the world who didn’t grow up with it and haven’t experienced it yet.

It’s only the best show in the whole wide world - what is wrong with him????? How could someone be so sheltered???? It was on PBS in the US and it was like, globally critically acclaimed and won awards and stuff!

It’s mind-blowing, it truly is.

Check this out!

This is the beginning of an episode of the gameshow “Just Like Mom”, which I used to watch with my great grama when I was really young. Apparently it’s Canadian, which I didn’t know and what the clip doesn’t show is that (if I recall correctly) the kids had to guess at how to make something, like chocolate chip cookies, and they’d put like, ketchup and flour and totally the wrong ingredients in and the moms would have to eat it!

Anyway, I thought I’d pass it along because it’s awesome. :D

I love the BEASTIE BOYS!

Oddly enough, I’d never seen this video until today:

Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys

Today was a really really busy day and I’m sore. Pretty much as soon as I woke up, I started moving furniture around and getting my studio a little neater for a project I’m working on. My shoulders ache from hauling this gigantic chair from one end of the house to another, it easily outweighed me by 80 lbs but I got it moved. Here’s a crappy camera phone picture of my completed corner. I’ll post the official before & afters in Live Journal tomorrow.

I love the PIXIES.

I just do.

Anyway, I’ve made a decision. I’m not going to do anymore video blogs and I’ll tell you why. Something I’ve noticed about my own YouTube habits is that, after about 5 video blogs from the same person, I kinda get tired of hearing them talk about whatever they’re talking about. I may get obsessed with a certain video blogger and watch every video they’ve done in one sitting, but even then, after 5 more new ones, I get tired of them and move on.

Sooooo, I’ve done 5 video blogs and I think that’s enough, 5’s a good number. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m done making videos period, it just means that I’m no longer going to be talking about my life & shit on video because really, it’s not all that interesting or different from what everybody else is doing and I’d prefer to write that stuff anyway.

So, for future reference, the 5 video blogs I’ve done so far are forever (yeah right) archived over there (—————–>) under the heading “Hey Guys, Um…“.

What am I gonna do next? Well I’ve got some ideas, but we’ll see what happens. Right now I’m just basking in the glory of the fact that my roof is no longer leaky and I have a whole room to do whatever I want to do with it.

Virginia Woolf knew her shit, man.

Know what I hate? Facebook.

And now it’s bedtime.
