They posted this thing on the Flight of the Conchords HBO page saying that they won't be coming back for a third season, "but the real Bret and Jermaine will continue to exist."
above: Justin Jorgensen's wall from THE ZONE (click image to enlarge).
Justin Jorgensen did the design for this LA gay sex club called THE ZONE, and he did a series of blog posts about the conceptual and practical processes behind this strange assignment which i found to be pretty interesting/entertaining. One of them detailed how to do a wall with a contour line picture of a guy getting head, and it literally drove me crazy for MONTHS, because it reminded me of something, but i couldn't figure out what.
ANYWAY, today i was talking to someone about collage, and i was suggesting that they check out David Wojnarowicz, and then it hit me! that's what the Jorgensen wall reminded me of! Sweet Relief!

Jason left for Connecticut today, and he was so excited. I haven't met Mark (or is it Marc?) yet, but i'm sure he's a very special person. Just the stuff Jason's mentioned about him indicates that he's a very sweet, very big-hearted guy. who doesn't love THAT?
i fucking MISS HIM ALREADY, though, and i hope he freezes his dick off in the cold!
Joss Whedon's (often painfully erratic but potentially AWESOME)'Dollhouse' has been put back in the box. It's said that fellow Fox sci-fi show 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' was cancelled to make room for the doomed 'Buffy' scribe's high concept meditation on um... (human trafficking? ethics in technology and science? eliza dushku's vast array of facial expressions?) whatever?

This SERIOUSLY sucks for actress Summer Glau (Firefly, the Firefly movie known as 'Serenity'), who starred in T:SCC, and was recently announced to be joining the cast of Dollhouse as well. Also unhappy: heterosexual geekboy virgins, who will surely refer to 2009 as the "Year Without a Summer," or "That time that Fox gave me blueballs for 7 consecutive months."
Joss was not at the top of his game with this show (blame fox if you want, but he just didn't BRING IT as much as he normally does), but i am choosing to focus on the forthcoming Whedon-helmed horror film "Cabin in the Woods," which is boasting the following marketing campaign. It's nice to see that JW still has a sense of humor- the absence of which is why almost anybody that watches all his shit likes 'Buffy' the best.
The author of the late, great blog "Famous Like Me" has returned from the ether to bring us, the blogular community, a new blog, full of magical hope and wonderrrrrrrr... Also, in addition to FLM's standby features (including my personal favorite, Mugshot Monday), there is greater focus on Donnie's always entertaining original content- stuff with a higher word count.
It is called hip n edgy. Go, bask... don't be shy. Go to read about the gay, 'not in the face' and 'no fists' Fight Club (from whence the picture above came), stay for everything else.
(OR be Shady Like Me and go there to "borrow" content!)
and since i mentioned hope and wonderrrrrrrr.... let's all take a trip to candy mountain!
SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!!!!! SHU-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-N!
which it uses like a hacksaw to cut through bone, candy and fences.
Sifl and Olly is one of the all time greatest things in the history of life, the universe and everything. This particular clip is my favorite from the entire series. I've seen it maybe a hundred times, and it invariably makes me laugh until i either cry, puke, shit my pants or pass out.
Lyrics to the Panda Song:
After dark, the pandas stalk, Nightmare creatures, with black hearts. Ravenous teeth that glow in the dark, Feasting on bums that sleep in the park!
The pandas are coming! So hide under your beds! The pandas are coming! They'll rip your ass to shreds!
The panda is indeed the most mysterious of all creatures Shrouded in the enigma of his black and white coat What kind of camouflage is this, black and white? Hiding in an Oreo factory? Could be! That's just another chapter in the ominous saga of the panda!
The pandas are coming To rip off your head! The pandas are coming On a rampage of the dead!
Like the shark, the panda has millions of teeth- Which it uses like a hacksaw to cut through bone, candy, and fences The Chinese believe that if you find a discarded panda tooth You have the power to summon Godzilla
I'm drunk on panda mystery!!
The pandas are coming! So hide under your bed! The pandas are coming! They'll rip your ass to shreds!
This has been chapter 1 in my ongoing songs about the panda, which shall cease at number 820. You will see me again, Mr. Sifl!
