Just For Compendium

So this image is just for my Map part of this project for Intro to Visual Culture. 

Whoa, It's Been Too Long!

Ok, so I do have an explanation for not posting in 10/11 days. I've had a lot of work to do with classes, etc. Over Thanksgiving I will definitely be catching up with my Lost Revisited posts, so never fear!

I am, of course, posting late tonight in avoidance of work I should be doing. And what's the best way to do that? By watching TV shows online!

Well, that's if there are any good shows I am not caught up on to watch. And there aren't. I've watched all the Samantha Whos, CSIs, Pushing Daisies, Grey's Anatomys, etc. So I began watching the Ugly Betty presents: Mode After Dark. Which are pretty funny and adorable.

But the point of this post is not the minisodes. It is the short ads inbetween the shows that caught my attention. The song was this really catching little French ditty that I really want to find the name of. The weird thing is that the ad was for HPV.com. Why they would choose a cute little French song to back their text about HPV being comunicable and checking with your doctor beats me. I just really like the song!

What the Frick?! iTunes

So, I was surfing the web (ok, from EW.com. Why pretend I find things out anywhere else) and found this great music video from the group Alphabeat. I was real excited to check out some more of there music, and maybe even get the music video, so I go to iTunes. 

But they don't have it. Or any of Alphabeat's music. I say: what the Frick?!

Now I must be content with watching the video on YouTube on a loop. 

SNL's Presidential Rehash

I just finished watching SNL's Presidential Bash 2008 (avoiding a paper I have to write. Still avoiding it, in fact). And I have to say, I was a little disappointed. 

It's not as if I was expecting all new material. I've watched the past two Presidential Bashes, so I knew to expect almost exclusively pre-aired sketches of presidential parodies. But I definitely remember the 2000 and 2004 Bashes featuring a lot more old school SNL skits. Hartman's Clinton eating voters' food at a McDonald's. The unforgettable Dana Carvey's H.W. Bush talking about the Gulf War. The full H.W. Bush - Dukakis (again Carvey, and Jon Lovitz).

They did show clips of old sketches. Very short clips. More or less a few lines. Which is a real shame, since I really enjoyed the older stuff they have shown in the past. It sparks interest in classic seasons of SNL.

That's all.
