Jeff Koons at the Met
Jeff Koons has some new sculptures in the roof top garden at the Met in NY. I want to go and check them out. The Winnie the Pooh one and the Candy Heart one are so-so, but I love these balloon sculptures.
Happy Earth Day
I'm no tree hugger, as you probably know. But even i know we need to take better care of the nature around us. Enjoy this time-lapse video of nature doing its thing in honor of Earth Day.
Vintage Metallica Tribute band
This saturday, at one of the finest pubs in Delaware County, Disposable Heroes will be performing live for our listening pleasure. I have yet to see this band play, but I have been told by a friend at work that these guys are very good at what they do. The guy I work with is an old hammer, has seen Metallica live in their heyday, and currently drives a late 80's Firebird with T-Tops. If I can't trust a guy like him to give me good information about a metal band, who can I trust? FYI, they are playing at Tom&Jerry's, which is located in Ridley Park, home to the best Hammers in our region, and my buddy tells me it is not uncommon to see some of these guys/Hammers and gals/Nails show up in uniform.
I have a feeling this could be highly entertaining on all levels.
Who wants in?
ed. note: All their Metallica selections are from Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice For All..., none of that new trash.
They also play a couple songs from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, etc...

Links and Links and Links and Links
Here's a new music blog I just found. It has a lot of metal and punk rock. There's some really good Clash live records and some good Iggy Pop.
Wii-tarded
AMAZING!
This guy turned his nintendo wii into the trippiest thing ever.
Why isnt all TV like this!?
He has some other videos where he turns the Wii into a whiteboard, and a fingertip-mouse type thing just like in that movie Minority Report. Its really awesome.
I bet he gets lots of chicks.
Four Score
If the Lincoln Presidential debates were run by ABC news:
LINCOLN: In my opinion, slavery will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Excuse me, did an Elijah H. Johnson attend your church?
LINCOLN: When I was a boy in Illinois forty years ago, yes. I think he was a deacon.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you aware that he regularly called Kentucky “a land of swine and whores”?
LINCOLN: Sounds right -- his ex-wife was from Kentucky.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why did you remain in the church after hearing those statements?
LINCOLN: I was eight.
DOUGLAS: This is an important question George -- it's an issue that certainly will be raised in the fall.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you denounce him?
LINCOLN: I’d like to get back to the divided house if I may.

Celebrate Earth Day with the Discovery Channel
This is an amusing and endearing promo put on by the Discover Channel for Earth Day (Tuesday). Don't forget to do something good for ma' earth on tuesday, and what ever that good thing is, do it every day there after.
Mr. Hawking's part is my personal favorite, even if his books do give me a headache.

Garfield minus Garfield
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.
