Brevity is the soul of wit…

I won’t be in Winnipeg for about 80% of Fringe so sadly the review tradition on this site is likely to be on hold for this year. Hopefully I can do some post-game for the Edmonton types since I will be in Winnipeg to catch the last weekend.

Do not touch the rabbit, the rabbit is hot!

Just in time for Easter… 

 

Entertaining and yet mildly creepy (at least to my eyes) but I wonder why he didn’t do the most obviously hilarious method: Bunny on a hotplate!

The word “unnecessary” springs to mind… as does the word “shite”

 

So I went to see I love you, Man last week. (funny enough movie, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd lovable and hilarious as always) Before the film I was hit with the preview for the latest Wayans Bros. movie…

 

If you haven’t had the pleasure, let me introduce you to the concept of “Dance Flick.” The Wayans Brothers (including new generation member Damon Jr.) have decided to do an incredibly timely spoof of dancing movies. Note also that it is Flick rather than Movie… lest they be confused with Friedberg and Seltzer and their Epic, Date, Teen etc movies.

 

From IMDB:

Street dancer Thomas Uncles is from the wrong side of the tracks, but his bond with the beautiful Megan White might help the duo realize their dreams as the enter in the mother of all dance battles

 

Sound familiar?

 

Yes, that’s right we’re getting a parody of Save the Last Dance, a movie released almost a decade ago, talk about timely. From what I saw in the preview I’d also say there’s some elements of Center Stage (2000) and other fantastic films. Thank you Senors Wayans, let’s hope you reach the heights of comedy you hit in “Little Man.”

The day the muzak died…

Per CNN:

Oh dear... what a man-perm.
Oh dear... what a man-perm.

MUZAK, those lovely people that bring you in-elevator or on hold kenny-g-esque (or strings) versions of popular songs is filing for bankruptcy protection.

Let us all hope this means that the next time we call Visa or Rogers we won’t have to listen to Katy Perry’s “I kissed a girl” as interpreted for Alto Sax and Oboe.

But sadly upon closer inspection they appear to merely be restructuring debt and not folding.

The dark hunger of the soul…

Hot Pocket Passive Aggressive Notes

I noticed this at my old government job as well, anything hotpocket-ish (be it HP’s, Pizza Pops or whatever) is stolen far more frequently than anything else I kept in the fridge. There was really little excuse in my building as well since there was so often free food kicking around.

Is it to do with the portable form factor of the food? Perhaps one can be stealthier in microwaving and eating a Hot Pocket than say a Michelina’s Fettucini Alfredo, there is after all always the chance that someone will see you washing the fork (or alternatively noticing a bundle of plastic forks in your desk.)

The more I read of passiveaggressivenotes.com the more I realize that some people are just unfit to share any sort of communal space. I actually don’t mind not having access to the lounge at my place of employment (I’m not permanent staff so no staff lounge, nor a grad student so no GSA lounge) for that reason. In truth it makes me eat at my desk while working too, which in turn means I get to leave early.

Apparently there is a dark hunger in man’s soul that can only be only be sated by food in pocket form.
