Mostly, I'm impressed with Fallon's Young impression

I love my town

The Portland Mercury recently blogged about some youth journalism made in part by a friend of mine. The videos remind me of how much I love Portland, and also make me want to own chickens. Because I'll take any excuse I can get to have another pet. I also want to volunteer at CHAP, an organization that brings kids to art, and when that's not possible, brings the art to the kids.

I live in an impressive city.

You can watch all the videos here. (My friend worked on the first video. In case you were wondering. And of course you were.)

Ode to Joss Whedon

Just watched Serenity again and remembered that it was incredible. It also made me think of a speech Joss Whedon gave:

(To jump straight past Meryl Streep, go to 1:50)

This is what I want to do with my life:

When I was little, this show was on PBS. My parents made the genius decision to record it, so I've been enjoying it for years. The artistry is incredible, and I this is what I'm going to do this summer (when I'm not interning it up in the costume shop of a local theater.) Yep, me and stop-motion animation in my basement for weeks on end.

Well, this is surreal

Best SNL sketch in years

I wasn't even trying

My friend just posted this on facebook. I didn't even have to look for it. I swear I don't just sit around looking for anything involving Stephen Fry.

This amused me no end.

"Aren't you a little curious...?"

"No."

I will not apologize for loving this song. And I don't need to apologize for loving this scene:

A-wooooooo!

But, this is how I make bread

The 1940's are most remembered for the rise in the number of men with foot fetishes.

I couldn't sleep after that either

I recently watched Sleepless in Seattle and decided it would be better if they had taken out Meg Ryan. Suddenly, it becomes a masterfully crafted film about a father dealing with single parenting after the death of his wife. And it could be done pretty easily. There are very few scenes in which Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan actually interact, and you end it about five minutes sooner, just after Tom Hanks reunites with his son (who, by the way, is a little demonic). The only problem would be some of the sound editing in scenes that switch back and forth between the Meg Ryan and the Tom Hanks storyline, but I feel certain it's possible. And it removes all the whole creepy stalker issue that is Meg Ryan.

This isn't the same thing, but it's almost as good:
