[enter_1980s_mode] Oh My god Duran Duran is On the VMA’!
AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! Simon!!!!! AHHHHH! [leave_1980s_mode]

Whew, ok that was fun, I shared the moment over IM with Shannon , who was every bit as big of a Duranie i hear as i was back then, but now it’s time for a rant.

So, I was watching the rebrodcast to see the famed slut/whore/skank three-way/kiss. (But I think it was at the beginning because it hasn’t apped yet.) And I hd something no one else has mentioned.

Duran Duran (the now reformed original band) came on to present “Best Dance Video” (WHY? Do ANY of them dance?) with Kelly Osbourne and Avril Lavingne (Again WHY?).

They all get out there, once Duran starts to come out the crowd goes wild. (YAY!)

Then Kelly goes “oh my god I’m such a huge fan” (which I believed since she looked honestly awed) and said that ’surprise’ they were out here to get lifetime achievement awards (!!!) The Canadian was useless.

I got all excited, about damn time! They all look just floored, Simon (who else) goes to the mic and thanks everyone, then John leans in and does his bit announcing the “Best Dance Video” nominees.

No video retrospective, no nothing. WHAT A FREAKING INSULT!!!

They got a standing O, but MTV did NOTHING ELSE. Duran Duran only MADE that network, they only made like 100 music videos before Christina Slutguilara was even 5 years old.

The geniuses at MTV couldn’t walk across the hall to VH1 Classic and dig out just one? Why couldn’t they have made a 10th of the big deal they made over Johnny Cash’s video that MTV has only ever shown a FEW TIMES at most!

They couldn’t b to give them 60 seconds of retrospective lovin’ for the years they gave to MTV? 1 FREAKING minute? No, two teen trollops threw a statue at them and they STILL had to share the segement with the “real” award.

I KNOW MTV has made a big deal over Lifetime Achievement awards in the past for OTHER artists, but Duran was evidentially not worth the effort to them. Hell, I bet it was even an afterthought. They are reformed with all the original memebers, on tour and have a new album. What more do they want?

Oh yeah, for them to be 25 years younger.

Dirty rotten bastards.

ADDITION:
As incensed as I am? CALL MTV.
Word is they had a “glitch” and thats why the planned presentation never was shown. Funny usually if there is a glitch on this stuff, someone usually says that. (but then look who they chose to “Present” their awards.) At very least they could have showed it top of the the next segment, after the commercial break.

I’m calling to demand they edit it in this alleged prepared segment for future showings of the VMA 2003 awards, or do a special on Duran Duran. They certainly deserve it. MTV owes them.

Amber Alert Ticker for webpages.

On a whim, I said to myself, “elf, what google search would render some silly pictures… Why, of course, sausages! I’ll let you peruse that on your own.

And for some reason it’s considered clever to put heads on sausages.

Later I might dare post a series of bad “dancing animated gifs” and that was the next search and I was saving some off. Count your lucky stars I didn’t inflict you with that now. I have a lot of them and I need to cull the herd for the largest suck factor.

The Official Ron For President WebPage

My beloved canine Maggie got all worked up and jumped up tpawrds me in the chair while I was using Howie the Powerbook and her nails wrenched off the escape, ~, and Tab keys.

Parts flew, and I mean flew, across the room. Tiny, nly transparent pieces. To my amazement I think I found them all, but reassembly is all but impossible with the sort of scissors like framework the keys need to stay together. I managed tio get escape back on. I really only need TAB of he three, so I’m working on that one next. it’s also wider aka bigger which means my big fat hands might be able to managed the fine work needed.

Applecare to the rescue. I’ll call and have them send me another tomorrow. I think I have one year left, and they never ask any questions, its part of the package and doesn’t cost me a dime. I say “this key doesn’t work” they say “we’ll send you a new one, ma’am.” Thats what I call “ervice”.

Applecare is $300 for 3 years for this model, a new keyboard is nly that much. It paid for itself the FIRST time. This will be the third time. This is why you should buy extended warranties with laptops. And Apple is great with it. They won’t even ask for the old one back. It’s broken, keep it for an emergency.

I should “break it” a few more times for future years after the Applecare expires.

UPDATE: I fixed it! All keys are on and in fine shape. Still might call. Better safe than sorry.

Fox Cancelled Keen Eddie

I know I’m going to be writing several notes about this travesty. Damn Fox. Damn them to hell.

Being a design weenie I tend to notice logos. These caught my eye today. I just think it’s funny.

On this day in 1920, women gained the right to vote.

Keep this in mind, Ladies, when you are voting for the Presidential candidate wit the best ass.

It’s official. Work is slow, so slow this year we’re about bust on finances., had to cancel the cell phone, might have to cancel DirectTv. Mr Man is demanding I find something. NOW. As in yesterday.

Bad part is I’m not good at anything other than web/graphic design. I was a bagger/cashier at a large grocery chain before/during design school, I was a lousy cashier. I worked in some fast food places after high school, I hated it. Uniforms chafe my inner cynic.

I’m not a people person. I despise retail. I don’t do Windoze. I can’t lift heavy stuff. I don’t know how to drive a backhoe. I do not know MS Office. I dislike children. Not fond of crochety old people either. I don’t want to work at a fast food place. I can’t type worth a darn (at least not accurately). I can’t do math. I can’t cut hair. I can’t stand blood. I don’t know how to drive a truck. I can’t use tools. I can’t barely plug in a toaster.

In short, I’m not good at much. I told ya.

I guess it’s off to Target. I would hate Target if I had to work there. I want to like target, not hate Target. Target is a force of light not burden. Oh sweet Target. Do not forsake me.

If you need a site done, seriously NOW is the TIME. I have a couple small jobs but not enough to hold the dogs at bay. If you know of places in Dayton/Cincinnati who are looking for creatives, let me know! I mean it. No really, I’m begging here. I’m on my knees and begging, no really.

So, I know I’ve been posting alot of stuff today that has come in my mail, but this one actually pleasantly surprised me. This is a letter I’d thought I’d never see from a online merchant, let alone this one…

Fox News Drops Lawsuit Against Al Franken saying:

“It’s time to return Al Franken to the obscurity that he’s normally accustomed to,” Fox News spokeswoman Irena Steffen said.

MEOW.

Gee, Irena, I believe Al Franken had a DECADE named after him how obscure could he be?

And Google sure has hd of him, and his decade, maybe its just you honey.

“It’s particularly appropriate that I’m beginning this hunger strike on the fortieth anniversary of the civil rights march on Washington” says the guy who is going on a hunger strike until Farscape is picked up by another network. (Note: it was unjustly cancelled a year ago next month.)

Yeah, real appropriate there, Mr Spock.

And we science fiction fans wonder why people have this opinion of us as whiney losers…
