look out, new jersey

[regular tom]

i heard on the radio this morning that new jersey could be facing 10 inches today.  that's gonna take a lot of kneepads, eh?

john kerry continues to build a bridge to the 18th century.  i think he should don a period costume for south carolina.

and while i'm on the topic of costuming and the southeastern portion of these united states, i would like to take this moment to state that every time i see a picture of charlize theron in her Monster role get up i think it's jon voight.

what jon voight is saying: "It ain't me, babe."

We watched Comic Book;the Movie (directed by Mark Hammill) last night and I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised. I hadn't planned on ever watching it cause it looked horrible BUT it was pretty funny actually. More in the vein of Waiting for Guffman than anything else. I thought it was going to be more in the vein of UHF.
Mark Hammil basically plays the comic book guy from the Simpsons and is pretty darn hysterical whenever he's onscreen. But even funnier are Tom Kenny and his wife Jill uh..Kenny, and their real-life son.
And we didn't even realize until halfway thru the movie that some of the main characters are played by voice-actors. Most notably Billy West (Futurama, Ren & Stimpy).
It's not a fine film but has a lot of heart, sends up comic book nerds in a sweetly hilarious way and actually has a plot.
Flawed but worth checking out even if you're not a nerd.

And best of all a hilarious cameo by Bruce Campbell.

so, what you're saying is it wasn't nerdtastic, but it was sort of gooberrific?

in rock news, i can honestly endorse the newly released C'mon DJ record by Mr. Airplane Man.  it is yet another triumph birthed in the big room at Easley McCain.

(portions of this email was borrowed from the Golden Globe winning show "The Office...reserve your copy of Season 2 on BBC america's web site...coming out 4/20...smoke em if you got them)

I went from estatic last night...."they're going to close work!" to depressed when i heard the plows at 2 a.m. "it stopped snowing...i'm going to have to go to work...to mildly happy "our work actually had a delayed opening...10am"

my wife is out now taking the kids sleigh riding. Damn, i should be there...i'm the master of the spinning saucer.

[regular tom]

and would you look at that:  Mr. Airplane Man rocks the Hi-Tone tomorrow night!

once again, i wish i was in mempho layin' down...

America's rip-off of the Office not a totally lost cause?

didn't they learn from that coupling fiasco? Why not just put the english one on a network? Is it the accents? The use of the word "cock?"  

I find it hard to believe they used to play the young ones, monty python, and comic strip live on MTV. How did we as kids understand those accents? How did we decipher the strange british lingo (lifts, petrol, bottom burp, clever trousers, cod piece face)

I used to dig this "real life" top ten lists when they were on salon. always introduced me to something i never heard...and then they dissapeared.

So thanks caw for showing me that they still live somewhere.

Speaking of caw...on the way to work in the middle of a snow covered farm there was this black bird walking along through the deep snow.

that was my spirit guide.  if he's in NJ, it's no wonder i'm lost these days.
