If you like to make home made blow torches but are vegetarian/vegan, you can follow the link for the vegan version, involving a cucumber and some bread sticks.

John Denver fan
This one goes out to any Habitat for Humanity people from high school who read this blog and also Carl Loesch, should he ever find it:
She really kicks it in during the “I belongs”. Allow me to explain that one.
After Evie spent an entire day singing, “I will make you hurt!” I realized I needed to revise my list of songs I played on the guitar. Since I don’t have anything in my repertoire that is kid related except for maybe Tree Hugger from the Juno soundtrack, I’ve been playing some of the simpler songs I first learned on guitar, hence the John Denver. Evie’s favorites are “mountain mama”, a phrase that she finds endlessly hilarious, and “dawn is breaking, it’s early morn” a.k.a Leaving on a Jet Plane:
(I changed the word “die” to “cry” to make it a little more kid friendly)
She also enjoys “baby song” or “baby riding in the car” a.k.a. Last Kiss, as covered by Pearl Jam.
And just for bonus cuteness, here’s quick one of Evie saying a mouthful of a book title:
Taco Town
I could have sworn I posted this video before, but I couldn’t find it anywhere on my blog. It seems to come up all the time, maybe due to the types of links I post about food. Anyway, it’s a great SNL fake commercial about an awesome food item. (I apologize for the idiot laughing over the top of the video the whole time, I was too lazy to try to find a better one)
So what do you think? Who’s up for making one with me?
RIP Michael Jackson, the King of Pop
I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes, Michael Jackson is dead.
I don’t even know what to say about that. Obviously there will always be black marks on his record, but you cannot dispute he was an icon.
The especially creepy thing? I already had a Michael Jackson post written when I heard the news! How bizarre is that? It’s like I knew somehow, like I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror. So I present my original post unaltered:
The other day I was searching for videos of Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk, like you do, and I found this awesome dance sequence. Watch until the end, and you will not be disappointed!
Say what you will about Michael Jackson, but that boy can dance.
Anyway, back to the moonwalk. Despite seeing it countless times and by countless imitators, this is still a mind-blowing thing to see. And nobody does it like the King of Pop. So, enjoy the endless moonwalk:
Snakes on a Submarine
It was bound to happen sooner or later. There were plenty of jokes about it when Snakes on a Plane came out, so you know someone was going to try to capitalize on it. And now it is here, Silent Venom:
And those aren’t just regular snakes! According to the synopsis, there are giant, mutant snakes.
I’m not surprised that the movie was made, but I am surprised that it stars Luke Perry! And not only that, but he appears to be just an assistant to the main girl. Oh Dylan, how the mighty have fallen. (Side note, I happen to notice that lukeperry.com is strangely devoid of a Silent Venom mention…)
I’m still holding out to see Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth when Hollywood* sees fit to deliver us two pieces of fine cinema.
*You know, Hollywood or Sci-fi channel, or someone’s backyard…
