Singing Super Villains

Good Times No Comments »Time: 4:50pm

Go watch Dr. Horrible w/ all speed possible! It is hilarious. Apparently, it’s only gonna be streaming on the web until July 20, 2008. (With plans for a DVD at some unspecified point in the future.)

Oh, and there’s a short comic about Captain Hammer on Myspace if you want to read that.

Dr. Horrible is made by Joss Whedon. Yeah. If you know the name, you know it’ll be worth your time.

If you’ve ever wondered how great a singing super-villain show could be, this is your chance to find out!

Transitional

Life No Comments »Time: 9:37pm

I may be approaching another transition. I’ve updated my resume and am starting to target local tech startups in search of positions where I can reach my full potential.

I’ve had a full 24 hours. Last night, I stayed up late working on the update. Today, I drove to work rather than taking the bus. After work, I headed to a local event, did some networking, learned about a new web product, and now I’m at home. I’ve done my followup for the evening.

I’m gonna go chill and check out the new PS3 movie rental service Sony just launched.

Dare I Dance, Too?

Good Times, Video 3 Comments »Time: 7:59pm

Dancing 2008 from Where the Hell Is Matt?

I found this video incredibly inspiring. It’s one further push in the direction I’m leaning.

“Which direction is that?” you ask.

Whichever direction takes me around the world. Seattle is a good center point, but I need to TRAVEL!!! All y’all in Nebraska or Kansas or Illinois or Colorado or wherever who are married or working or in college… well, I’m hoping to take advantage of my singleness and my freeness and do something spectacular with it. Now I’ve just gotta work on my dance moves. Perhaps I should ask Jake for some pointers?

Just Go to Bed

Life 1 Comment »Time: 10:04pm

I’ve had a long, productive, and emotionally draining day. I woke up early, had some great conversation w/ guys at church, but then found out the first friend I made after moving to Seattle will most likely be moving before the end of the year. It shook me up. There may have been tears.

Talked some more then moved on to Saturday House. Got some work done, shunned conversation for the most part, and went to a birthday party afterward.

I did two dumb things at the party.

1) I assisted in throwing the birthday man in the pool.
2) I committed a Larry David/George Castanza party foul and took some unopened food with me when I left (without the host’s explicit okay to do so). I can script out Larry David’s dialogue in my head, but it doesn’t convince me. I’ve always felt like I see through his character.

Ah, regrets. It’ll be better in the morning. One benefit of not drinking is I don’t have the added punishment of a hangover.
