"I've peed alone my whole life."

Some of my friends are tired of hearing me talk about how much I love Community. But I do. And trust me, if Britta and Abed had a love child and Troy was the creepy "uncle," I would be that love child. See for yourself.

The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize

There are cat balls in this video.

Stuart was playing with a milk cap ring and somehow managed to slide it under the kitchen rug. Hilarity ensues.

Now that I have a cell phone that records video, expect plenty more videos like this.

The MFCEO of K-Swiss

I mentioned Danny McBride's Eastbound & Down character, Kenny Powers, in a previous post. This mindlessly intelligent K-Swiss advertisement embodies everything Kenny Powers has come to be.

This is not at all safe for work.

Harris Pest Control

I wish I had more background information on this video, but the best I can say is that 1) the 313 area code means it is/was based out of Wayne County, Michigan and 2) it gets stuck in my head each time I watch it.

In case you missed it: 30 Minutes Or Less

            For my 26^th birthday last week, I was taken out to the movies and got to pick what I wanted to see. I chose 30 Minutes Or Less, which I hadn’t even heard of and knew nothing about save Danny McBride had a role in the film. And let me tell you: I’m glad I saw it.

            It’s a comedy about a pizza delivery boy who is strapped to a bomb and forced to rob a bank. Even I thought that was a morbid concept, considering that’s actually happened and the delivery guy DIED. But it really had no parallels to the real life event. It did have “that’s what she said” jokes, though! I can always support that.

            What really made me giddy was discovering the movie is set in Grand Rapids, MI. I always love local stuff on the big screen (local being a relative term for a city a couple hours away). There’s a really neat poster of Michigan that’s displayed in a few scenes that I’d like to get for myself. The movie was shot on location in Grand Rapids save for one scene in Ludington.

            Jesse Eisenberg has the lead role as the delivery boy. I’ve never seen The Social Network. I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything. But he was good, I liked him. He gave off a real Michael Cera vibe, except 50% less awkward. Aziz Ansari is also great. Very animated. I’ve seen some of his stand up material and it mesmerized me. That’s what he was like in this movie. And, oh, Danny McBride. I know him from Eastbound & Down as Kenny Powers, and that’s essentially the character he played, except sans mullet. For example (not safe at all for work):

            Without giving away spoilers, I have some issues with the movie and its logic. I’d stop just shy of calling it a movie targeted toward stoners, but there’s no denying more effort was spent in making it funny than realistic. That’s okay, I just hate walking away with unanswered questions and, worse yet, thinking about how I would have done things if I were in that situation. But if they had done what I would have done, there would be no movie.

            But it was cute and it made me laugh a lot.

            (That’s what she said.)

Stupid furniture

Two posts in one day? Why not? I'm excited because I've spent the weekend hanging out with Sara and Kyle, helping them move. And not that they lived far from me to begin with, but now they live only a few streets over and it's easier to simply walk to their new house than drive.

Last night we had a wonderful time transporting a couch... I was behind the camera for the whole time, so I probably had the best time of all.

Even Dan thought it was hilarious, sore hands and all. It's further evidence of how much I love my friends.
