Today in stupid headlines:

“Bill Would Allow Texas School to Grant Master’s Degree in Science for Creationism”

What?? How do you offer a Master’s of SCIENCE in Creationism? Makes zero sense.

This is (of course) via our favorite “fair and balanced” source FauxNews.

Fruit Fly

Last Sunday night I made my film debut!

I was (along with Aster and Anh-thu) an extra in a musical called “Fruit Fly”. The film is the centerpiece of this year’s SF Asian American Film Festival. We’re all in a number called “Fag Hag” (I’m the one who says “Fruit Loop!”)

Anyway, I really enjoyed the film. The songs were great, the dialogue was funny, the story was strong… overall it was a great moviegoing experience. I also loved the little transitions in between scenes. Any movie that builds a shot of the SF skyline with tetris blocks = awesome in my book. Looking at the production values, it’s amazing to think that they shot the whole thing in 18 days. The director also has a part in the movie in addition to having written all of the music. He’s one of those ridiculously talented people who you wish you could hate, but you can’t because they’re also incredibly nice and cool.

The film is screening tonight in Berkeley at the Pacific Film Archive and on Sunday in San Jose at Cameras Cinema 12 so go see it! You can watch the trailer here:

Monday Minor Annoyance: The Killers

I didn’t feel this warranted an entire SBS, but I had to get this off my chest:

Wow. The Killers really suck.

Recently, I’ve been listening to rock radio during my drive to work (I know, I know, there are better ways to appease my inner masochist). Before, I didn’t care too much about The Killers. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to them, but I wouldn’t be terribly upset if one of their songs came on at a party or whatever. Not the best band ever but fun, inoffensive, mainstream rock.

That was all until I heard their latest single:

What the hell was that? “Are we human or are we dancer?” That’s like asking “Do The Killers suck or are they shitty?”

The answer (obviously) is “both”.

New music!

Well, I didn’t write it but whatever.

Enjoy my cover of “Enjoy the Silence”, which was recorded for a friend’s birthday:

Enjoy the Silence

If America’s Next Top Model were a drinking game…

we would all die of alcohol poisoning. I watched the Cycle 12 premiere this week adhering to these four simple rules. You drink when there’s:

1.crying
2.screaming
3.cheesy gimmicky catchphrases
4.“sage” advice from Tyra

Yeah. I had to stop about 10 minutes in when the girls were all screaming and Tyra was referring to herself as the “Goddess of Fierce”. But I think this Cycle has potential so far. Not to produce an actual top model of course (because that’s never been the goal), but to be a complete trainwreck of epic proportions.

Flashback Friday: The Beets

Sorry I haven’t posted in forever, I’ll try to remedy that.

Today I bring you my favorite fictional band from a 90’s era cartoon:

“Killer Tofu” sounds like an awesome horror B-movie. I can totally see some girl screaming as a massive block of tofu jiggles menacingly.

Bonus- Doug and Skeeter singing “Bangin’ on a Trash Can”:
