Holy Gum
Mykala got me a whole heck of a lot of gum.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like WCCO Channel 4 News. It is the number one rated newscast in the Twin Cities, as it well should be. Consider one of its competitors, Fox 9 news, which has reported on (and aired “teaser” portions promoting) such life-changing issues as school bus drivers not showing up to work, rusty fire hydrants, and what your pets do when you leave the house. The pets piece was actually advertised on the radio the day that ground-breaking investigative masterpiece aired. Oh, and if you are wondering how Fox 9 cracked the mystery of what pets do: hidden cameras. Wow.
Regardless, while WCCO’s news about today’s weather in southern Minnesota was not inappropriate (it was actually news), their sense of humor in captions is simultaneously funny and … considering these are the people reporting our news … a little bit disturbing.
The AV Club is impressive - great article about Sigur Ros - This website should be the premiere media review clearinghouse on the internet. Consistently astronimically high quality content. You could learn how to write from these reviews.
Great cheap steadycam - Uses a t-mounted counterweight to steady a camera for commercial-quality stabilizing with a college-student price. Link from Justin. Useful for Nils.
Check out the example footage - it really works!
Walking through Ikea, the three of us heard this strange strange announcement. “Would Wanda Sorry please return to Smallworld. Wanda Sorry, please return to Smallworld.”
How can you do anything but laugh after hearing an announcement like that? I mean, this is Wanda Sorry (Mykala thinks it might be spelled Saari) and Smallworld. And she doesn’t have to report to it, she has to return to it. Like, she was once a child and now it’s time … tiiiime for Wanda to go back from whence she came!
Thank you, Saint Thomas, for such scholarly surroundings:
Girl 1: So I was talking to her and she was, like, being such a bitch!
Girl 2: Yeah?
G1: Yeah she’s all like “Stop being such a space-case.”
G2: Really? A space-case?
G1: And yeah, then she was all …
G2: Did you say ‘space-case’?
G1: Yeah.
G2: Is that even a word?
G1: I made it up.
G2: Oh, you and your words.
