omg squee!

So I can't embed these for some strange reason, but the producers of LOST went on Jimmy Kimmel last night right after the premiere and it rocked.

Pt 1

Pt 2

Oh Where I Come From...

As if Outsider's Inn were not enough to make me love the image East Tennessee gets in the larger scope of the world, Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported about little old Knoxville today. It doesn't seem to be on the Countdown website as it was just a little blurb, so here's the Knoxville News Sentinel version:

Man Stuck On Stopping Blue Cow

Apparently someone tried to break into the Knoxville Museum of Art through the air vent shaft, and then when he got stuck, called 911. Brilliant. More so brilliant was the fact that he explained it by launching into some explaination involving being a special agent sent to stop a Russian bomb planted in our museum. Yeah. Thanks for making us look good.

feeling reflective...and sad :(

There's been a lot of sad things happening, on various scales of sadness. I've been really freaked out by the Spanair plane crash in Madrid , which rattles me somewhat because I've flown that airline and been in that airport, more than once. That's probably really silly, to be freaked out by that, but I am. It could've happened months ago and I could have been there...

I don't know.

Closer to home, there was a shooting at a school in Knoxville, apparently for once NOT a random act of violence but an intended act of violence, one kid against another... and not too long after a guy stormed into a church there and shot a bunch of people. Knoxville's still very fragile, for obvious reasons...

These last two are nowhere near the scale of the first two, but still hit my mind as highly annoying. The first one is a sad day on the Harry Potter front, as they are pushing back the release of the Half Blood Prince to stinking July 17th, 2009. I just don't get it, because they have already released previews and already got us all excited, and the pulled it right out from in under us. I'm really angry, and if it were anything else I'd be pissed off enough to boycott the movie alltogether, except, who boycotts a Potter film?? Well, I guess these people do, oh, these people too... way to piss off a massive Fandom, Warner Bros. Seriously.

The last bit of icing lately is the fact that they are making a reality show just a county over from where I live. Called Outsider's Inn, it's about a bed and breakfast ran out in the sticks and it supposedly is really, really stereotypical of Southern people. As someone who lives right next door, I'm pretty angry about the portrayal of such a stereotype. But, also, I know that in some ways some of those stereotypes ARE true...lol. But it really upsets me that Tennessee's hit the television in such a bad way.

Okay. I guess that's the end of the rant.

because I love Garfield...

...I am slightly upset by and then amused by this concept at the same time.

I mean, it's Garfield, but without Garfield. What the hell? Called Garfield Minus Garfield this webcomic only features Jon...and eliminates everything else.

This one's quite funny...
