So I did that thing the other day where I sent an email that was just supposed to go to one person to everyone on my email list. Thankfully it was just an email to my parents about Thanksgiving plans and my daughter’s shoe size (and no Mike, you don’t get to know it, you sick freak. ;) ). I was vastly amused that of all the people who responded with a “Wha, huh, was I supposed to get this?” I didn’t get a response from my parents.

And I thought *I* was the one who was bad at keeping in touch over email.

“The Venture Brothers” keeps getting more and more fun. Granted, I can see how it only could have an appeal to those who have a fondness for adventure cartoons of days past (Johnny Quest, specifically), it has some amazingly brilliant yet horrifying things that you thought you’d never see on a cartoon. Not only that, Patrick Warburton (”Puddy” from Seinfeld) is proving that he’s one of the best voice-over talents in the business (he’s the voice of Brock Sampson on VB).

I was torn between watching South Park and SNL Saturday night, as they were doing a countdown of the best SP episodes of all time, and I wanted to see where “Scot Tenorman Must Die” came in. Sadly, it was only 7th or something, but as I was flipping back and forth, I saw the Ashlee Simpson lip-syching debacle unfold, which was a delicious moment of schadenfreude.

Mmmmm, schadenfreude…

There were Bush Supporters “protesting” in my town yesterday. Yes, this is America, and yes, you can’t just run people over with a bulldozer if you don’t agree with them (or they’re idiots), but still…protesting for Bush? That’s ass. But I was good (not just because I’m all bark and no bite), but earlier in the day I saw a kid with an “Insane Clown Posse for President” sweatshirt and I didn’t beat him to death with a brick.

And they say I have no self-control.

Isn’t it amazing when you’re going along doing something and then something completely different pops into your head? As I was writing this, I just realized something about the payroll stuff at work that I should’ve done but had forgotten, so I had to get off-line call work to check on it, and the correct it.

Maybe I am a workaholic…

I have been doing more editing recently, which is good. It’s coming along, which is important. Granted, maybe it just feels like good forward motion (mmmm, good forward motion), but it’s something. Better than nothing.

Oh, and how the fuck do the Giants loose to the Lions? That’s ass. And, while we’re talking sports, congrats to Nick’s Red Sox. Who knew? Granted, no team whose city has ever hosted the Democratic National Convention has won the World Series that year…but still, what a comeback! I posted that little factoid over in Peter David’s weblog when he was writing about the series, but I forgot the whole “that year” part, and of course there were people hopping all over it.

And that’s why the internet blows. It makes selfish assholes of us all.

So says the guy with the egocentric weblog who crushes the skulls of ICP fans with bricks.

MechaShiva, MechaShiva, MechaShiva, I remain…

P.S. Go to the Ashlee Simpson website forums…this is comedy gold, people…
