I Hunger

So I saw Black Swan the other day with SO.

Great date movie, lots of sexy, scary, and weepy here. If you're by yourself, then laugh at the cheese, the dopplebraunschweiger, and the double helping of cliche. Portman is left alone in front of a camera a few times and the results are bold and satisfying, like a fresh hummus. Why don't directors do this more often? I haven't had breakfast.

Looking for brain food? You're better off with Helen Mirren, whose brain, the zombies tell me, is finely grained but hard to swallow, like a delicate caviar.

Speaking of zombies, check out this cover of Jacko's "Beat it" by a man called Richard "Dick" Cheese. He helps me live a better you. I guarantee it.

You say Necromancy like it's a bad thing...

Arise, blog from the pit! Arise and look upon this day, nearly a year since I required your services last. Today I have a new task for you. You will dazzle my enemies, entertain my friends, and hear my secrets. All my secrets but one: my name. A cohort of mine has informed me that dudes get their asses thrown in jail for shit they done bloggity-blog. So you must accept the cover of my nom de plume, Capitan Poco, at least for now. You will find that I am a goodly Capitan, though somewhat lacking in stature, and will steer you into the calmer waters of the seas of Intertube.

Avast me hearties, and what have we here? A siren from the deeps we've dredged, who tells us strange and terrible things about doodling in math class. Of course, we've all doodled in math class. But did you ever know that you were doing it wrong? Ye heard it here first me matey, that a true blood doodles in math class.... about math!

Shiver me timbers! The... timbers be shivering! We've run aground on an island! Well, the ship's done for, best be planning to stay here for a while. And it's a good thing too, because if that Dutchman's charts are worth their salt, we've landed in the Minecraft archipelago. But best not be worrying! I was marooned here for a full week last September, and let me tell thee, it was quite a time. The isle hath within it all the necessities of life, and then some but be sure to look at Old Man Wiki's advice on survival. With him by yer side, ye can't go wrong. Unless a zombie eats you.

Well, I've half a mind to join you, my lad, but urgent matters call me to the mainland. Bon chance! We shall meet again when the wind is right.
