It's Worse. I'm Blabbering.

It's like being stuck in an elevator with a very annoying person.

The Stop Motion Work of Patrick Boivin

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

Oy, it’s almost Halloween and I’m still working on two different posts: Michael’s Annual Halloween Candy Extravaganza Happy Halloween! Jane, You Ignorant Slut! (working title) However, I’ve run into a pretty bad roadblock: I’m lazy. I keep going back to my drafts and my research and then I get distracted with so many other things. […]

Skunk With It’s Head In A Jar: Face It, We’ve All Had Those Days…

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

I didn’t know if I wanted to post this on my blog or on the Woofie’s blog. Seeing as how my friend Amy’s blog is slightly more professional, I opted to put this here: First off, there are so many weird things about this short clip – There’s a skunk with it’s head stuck in […]

The Fun House

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

Oh, that Hugh Laurie… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAE5z8Ct56g&fmt=18[/youtube] …he makes me laugh in so many ways. It is somewhat reminiscent of the Ministry of Silly Walks [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZlBUglE6Hc[/youtube] Anywho, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry always manage to fascinate me. If it wasn’t for Jeeves & Wooster then it was the numerous other material that they’ve produced over the years. […]

Thefuntheory.com – Fun Can Obviously Change Behaviour for the Better

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

The new Volkswagen website, thefuntheory.com, is being built around the premise that [It] is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change […]

Facebook: Maybe I Shouldn’t Know

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, Relationships

I’ve been on the interwebs for a while. Yes, this ugly mistress and I go back quite a ways. There have been times when I’ve tried to ignore her beguiling charms but she always finds a way to sink her hastily applied Lee Press On Nails into my back and draw me in. It was […]

Digital Intellectual Elitism (Or “How I Think Technology Increases My Awareness of Stupid People”)

Written by Puzzlehead, in Rant

I’m going to be crossing two different types of communication here so please, forgive me. I’m curmudgeonly. This is what we grouchy people who look up to Statler & Waldorf as role models do. For the tl;dr crowd: I want to poke people in the eye who speak and spell like shit online. My last […]

Can Politicians PLEASE Set A Good Example?

Written by Puzzlehead, in Rant

Waugh. My head hurts. According to the vitriol being spewed over the summer that’s enough reason for a Death Panel to pass judgement on me. HA! I’m 9 years past the “Logan’s Run” age limit to get to Carousel! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WUUnc1M0TA[/youtube] Anyhow, this post isn’t about that. This post is about how my head hurts because […]

Last Cosplay Post of the Day or Why NAFTA Works

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

You really don’t hear about cosplayers outside of either Japan or the United States. I give to you an ingenius fellow from Mexico and his rendition of Bumble Bee from the Transformers [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG8CUHGb1Y4[/youtube] That thing is freakin’ SICK! Angela and I briefly discussed how difficult it must be to design something like that. I kept […]

Kirsten Doesn’t – Attacking My Otaku Sensibilities Even Further

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, Rant

Waugh. After my last post about Kristen Dunst I was hoping that it was all just a bad dream. I mean, sailor uniforms, magical girl outfit, thigh-high striped stockings on the frame of a Hollywood starlet should make me giddy, right? Instead it made me feel conflicted. Then more images started to pop up (click […]

Kirsten Dunst is REALLY trying to get me to like her…

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

I’ll admit: I was a fan of Kirsten Dunst in “Bring It On”. She was cute, blond and in a cheerleader uniform. Then she sorta got weird. She would walk around bra-less and in hippy clothes. She was spotted on the beach with her bando top unceremoniously exposing her boobs (Aaaaaaaaargh! My eyes!!!). By the […]

Captain Slow Rides Again

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

I love watching Top Gear. Granted, there are very few cars that I’ll ever own that they show. Nor will I ever get to play soccer with a Ford Focus, attach a Mini Cooper to a rocket and send it down a ski jump, nor travel across the Antarctic in an SUV or dog sled. […]

When Children’s Shows Oog You Out

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

I like cartoons. Sure, I’m all happy to see anime or the stuff that’s ginned up in Hollywood. Much of it all comes down to the base notion that I really ejoy watching children’s programming, not just when I was a kid but also as I’ve grown into a relatively well adjusted adult. And then […]

Sitting back and kicking it old school. I can kick it, right?

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment, General

So, the other day I was sitting trying to figure out a ton of random stuff at work when, all of a sudden, I got LL Cool J songs stuck in my head. Luckily, YouTube was around the corner and I was able to load up songs like “Rock the Bells”, “I Need Love”, “Going […]

There’s Nothing To Fear Except Fear Itself. Oh, And Also…

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Relationships

[flv width=”320″ height=”240″]http://heyitcouldbeworse.com/media/bunsen-tasteslikerabbit.flv[/flv] Angela and I went to go pick up Bunsen today. We had to drive from Sterling, Virginia, down to Yorktown, Virginia. That’s normally about a 3 hour drive. It wound up taking us about 4.5. Traffic heading down was horrible, what with traffic down 95, near Busch Gardens and the typical weekend […]

Click. Happy Father’s Day.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Dad, General, Relationships, Tobey

I don’t plan to write on this blog this weekend so I thought that posting this early would be a good idea. When I was in college I remember lugging around cameras all over the place. I would take pictures of my roomies, my friends, the campus and everything else around me. It was a […]

Deciding Whether I Should Be Physically Fit or Physically Fat

Written by Puzzlehead, in General, Health

39. I’m 39 years old. Nothing blows as much as coming to the realization that you’re past the half-way point of the average natural life span of a human. I remember when I was a teen thinking ‘Holy crap, being over 30 is OLD.’. So, now I’m almost at 40. According to the younger me […]

The ‘Oh’ Face. No Wonder We’re Programmed To Close Our Eyes.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Sex

You know, you can learn a lot from the movie ‘Office Space’: How to bilk your company out of thousands of dollars by skimming pennies a la Superman IV, where your stapler is, and how to beat the crap out of office equipment in slow motion set to a gangsta beat. It was also the […]

My Body Is A Temple. I Suppose It’s Time For An Exorcism.

Written by Puzzlehead, in Food, General, Health

I went to my physical last Friday. Guess what? High blood pressure and they suspect that I have poor cholestoral readings. And I could lose a few pounds. Nothing makes you feel self-conscious like a female doctor with her nurse practitioner in training telling you that you have to drop weight all the while your […]

Is It Too Late To Consider A Different Line Of Work?

Random songs on my playlist while I’m working…

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

I’m one of those freaks that can’t work in silence. The unfortunate truth is that I also have a ton of work that I need to get through over the next two weeks. Work work and other client work is going to keep me chained to my computer for a while. It’s making my butt numb.

Lost in Translation – If You’re Going To Yell At Americans You May As Well Make Us Feel Bad

Written by Puzzlehead, in General

When I got home from Virginia Beach yesterday I went through the various news reports that I’ve grown accustomed swimming through. This can literally take me upwards of 3 hours to complete. What I enjoy most about this little habit of mine is that I get to absorb news and opinions from all the nooks […]

Nasubi: One Way To Get Through This Recession

Written by Puzzlehead, in Entertainment

A few weeks ago I was scampering about the internets the way I normally do, reading all of my favorite columns and comics, watching my favorite pod casts and stupid videos. As I sat at my desk, with two sleepy dogs at my feet, I kept trying to dig from the depths of my mind […]
