You Always End Up...A-Head!

That's the hilarious end to an utterly terrible joke at the Disney Jungle Cruise attractions. Alright, so it's not that bad. It's one of those "so bad it's good" lines. Anyways, it's been a while, and during that...while, I've kept on working as usual, waiting for news (or perhaps an interview...sometime this century?!) on what my team will be doing with its vacant positions. So far, no one they've looked at has garnered an interview, a few folks have been elimated, but not me, thank goodness.

Apart from that, catching Scoop again, working hard on my current course (I'm now in the final week), and relaxing with friends has been the norm. Although...a little guy named Ernesto is starting to irritate me, just a little.

Well, it beats having another hurricane over Labor Day weekend. Certainly put a damper on the previous two year's holidays.

I'm not embarassed to say that I'm a few weeks late with catching the latest
Evanescense video. Actually, I liked their music a few years back, but in Denver
the song "Bring Me To Life" was played so much that I couldn't bear to listen to it away from the radio (not your fault Ev folk!). Fast forward a few years, and it isn't as if I've been on another planet, but I've been paying more attention to music in movies, commercials and such that catch my attention. Unfortunately Ev took a back seat for a long while. Well, now the group is riding shotgun with many of my favorite tunes, with their song "Call Me When You're Sober". It's a tough song to listen to and take in the meaning, as it deals with addiction and what I'd say is one of many consequences of it (losing those you care for). Now segue over to the music video, which was filmed in what looks like a majestic old hotel. The effects were simple, yet very impressive on film. The main costars (Amy, the lead singer as Little Red, and a guy I will only refer to as Wolfie, as none other than The Big Bad Wolf) did a fantastic job. I'm sure the die hard Ev fans (and Wolfie girls, er pack?) are loving this vid. Awesome job, I'd say. I rarely, if ever watch Mtv these days, and merely caught it while channel surfing.

Last week as I worked into the wee hours of Sunday night and Monday morning on a course, I happened to catch the pilot episode (cartoon) for a very unique show on SciFi. Will it end up as a series? Who knows, but I hope that plenty of folks write in if they liked what they saw.

The show stars Paul Giamatti as Screw-On Head, David Hyde Pierce as his nemisis (was his butler, is now an undead/zombie pain in the behind), Molly Shannon as SOH's former love interest turned vampire, and none other than Corey Burton (who does alot of great voiceover work for Disney) as Abe Lincoln (and a few other characters).

The show is a little of Wild Wild West meets Universal Monster horror. It's very interesting, and has quite a few quotes that'll make you chuckle.

If you all are curious, have a gander at this link:
