How is that appealing? That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing.

“And there’s a plastic bag on the pitch! It’s like the scene from American Beauty! Hit it in the bag, son, you’ll get five points!”

If you can believe it, this is the first time I’ve seen it since 2000 or so. I’m kicking myself for not going back to it way sooner. Because, yes, amazing. I’m a sucker for assimilation conspiracy movies, so it’s hard for me not to love a movie like this, but ugghh so good.

A storm’s going on outside, I’m watching The Faculty, I’ve got an Ommegang Rare Vos, and I guess I can’t ask for much else right now.

No.

I was attempting to make a screen cap of the “You will find true love on Flag Day” fortune cookie because that’s what today is, but my CD drive was acting like the Season 13 The Simpsons DVD was the apocalypse. Which isn’t completely inaccurate.

Basically, fandoms are the worst things in the world even when they are dedicated to things that are good, and I wish they didn’t exist.

Six of the top twenty comedy albums on iTunes are The Lonely Island.

Turned on The Colbert Report just in time to see Paul McCartney performing “I’ve Just Seen a Face.” Quite possibly my favorite Beatles song. It’s been a good night.

The Mummy just ended

The verdict: Totally holds up, especially if you’re very biased beforehand.

One of the minor characters just asked for “A bourbon… and a shot of bourbon! And a bourbon chaser!” I know that feel.

But only because I like bourbon. Not because I’ve been hunted by mummies. I mean. Not yet.

But getting back to important The Mummy things

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:31:00 -0500

The guy who gets de-eyeballed and gets his tongue cut out in The Mummy is the guy who played Pistol Pete in Parks and Recreation. There’s a joke in there somewhere.

I just checked and, yes, the Friday portion of Riot Fest 2012 was indeed worthless.

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:11:16 -0500

The Offspring, Pegboy, Dead Sara, and Neon Trees.

And it was indoors. That’s why it’s been selling out so quickly. It’s partially because of popularity, but also because there’s just fewer tickets total. So nobody get discouraged.

Reminder to Riot Fest goers

If you’re as tempted as I am to buy your three-day pass right away, it may still be worthwhile to wait for two-day passes to go on sale. That’s what I did last year. It was cheaper and they didn’t put anything worthwhile on Friday anyway. They’ll release the actual schedule sometime soon(ish?). But I won’t blame you if you buy a three-day pass now just for the insurance. It’d definitely be a shame to miss this.
