Celebrity Sighting #Science

Sketchfest has begun and as a Christmas present to them, slash, birthday present to us, we watched Star Talk Live with Bill Nye the Science Guy. There were some science people there, but my focus was on the guest comic joining Eugene Mirman: H. Jon Benjamin.

I loved watching Dr. Katz and loved the voice of his slacker son Ben. Thanks to this show, I have started to watch and now love Archer. 

Yes, yes, I do love Mr. Nye himself. Though I did embarrass myself when I asked what his last name was. At the time I said his full name and asked if it was "Science Guy". My dumb ass processed Bill Nye as one word. But if anyone asks, I thought it was a stage name.

Back to the Present

Come on 2015! Where the hell are my hover boards? Happy New Year!

It is a Gift

A Hobbit/ The Office SNL sketch is freaking awesome. Enjoy.

Trailer of Trailer

I really didn't like teaser trailers because they didn't really do much. Most of the time, it was just giant words of anticipation and no footage from the movie. Then again, I really hate the entire movie cut down into two and a half minutes. I only watched the first trailer for Interstellar and was very happy to only have the first third of the movie already in my head. I may have written about teasers of trailers, but now officially, I just watched a trailer for a trailer.

Coming soon: Slightly more!

I will give credit to the creator of this spot. It's using the music to give me enough chills and get my attention. But then it's over and I'm supposed to happily await the commercial next week? Oh, I will watch it, but I won't be happy about it. Well played.

Who are These Bitches?

I have a sore spot since the toys spoiled the arrival of Princess Twilight Sparkle. I also have a problem with Princess Twilight Sparkle. So when I saw a yellow Princess Celestia in the corner of my eye, I was amused of the mistake toy. That is until I saw them up close.

Introducing Princess Spoiler and Princess Cash Grab.

So either more princesses will be introduced in the next season or this is a creation of non show characters because all girls want more princesses. They apparently also want unnaturally colored human dolls with pony personalities. 

I used to walk around toy stores and marvel at how much stuff that kids own. That was about fifteen years ago. Now I wonder into the toy section, think of how much I could play with, get frustrated because I want it all and am grateful that now I have to pay for it, I can just walk away because it's not worth it. Kids don't really have a chance. Hell, adults don't have a chance. I'll just have to listen to Queen Elsa and let it go.

Revenge for Puppy

Less than two weeks ago, my dog passed away unexpectedly. I saw the trailer for John Wick before it happened and since the movie came out, I have heard about it on many of my movie podcasts. It is getting pretty good reviews and many say that it's a great action movie. Well, even before the pain of losing my puppy buddy, the sound of the dog dying broke my heart. I wondered if I ever saw this movie, if it would break the record of the movie Up, of how long I had to pause the film and pull myself together before I could continue watching. Second place is the movie I Am Legend. 

I realize that Keanu Reeves leaves a trail of bodies and inflicts so much pain because Theon Greyjoy killed the puppy (...given to him by his dying wife... Sure that makes it pretty bad too.) but I doubt I could stomach even artificial sounds of a dog suffering. Sort of like when I watched Django Unchained. No amount of revenge and carnage could make up for the mental anguish of watching human suffering.

Annnnndd.....depressed.

Speaking of mental anguish, the last week I've had emotional reactions that I swear I'm stealing from Twilight: New Moon. The scene where Bella is screaming and crying in her sleep and is comforted by mustache dad is what my sobbing has felt like. I also had a cinematic moment of screaming "NO" at my car that died on a freeway on ramp when I was rushing to an emergency situation. I feel like Martin Tupper in Dream On, but my references suck.

Now that I've depressed everyone, have a happy and safe Halloween.

Every Day is Boss's Day

Since I tend to not notice not real holidays, I was surprised to find out October 16th is National Boss's Day. There were decorations put up in my new office. Decorations that pissed off my coworker because they were grammatically incorrect. I on the other hand was fixated on the photos of Donald Trump and Bill Lumbergh. 

Wow. Yep, let's celebrate douche bags. I did a Google search for famous bosses and, yes, I had to filter out the mafia associated people. Then I realized, how about Michael Scott? A big dork, but still a lovable boss. Granted, there are mainly crappy bosses in pop culture, but I for some reason I could not let this go. So I settled for silently putting up pictures of Bruce Springsteen. I'm still new and I bet most people just don't get me. I did make my grammatically focused coworker laugh. One victory at a time.
