Snakes… on a plane.
3File this under “Worst Title for a Movie EVER.”
I can’t wait to see people go to town on this one. Apparently, they’ve already started. Oh, the hilarity!

UPDATE:
Bored, I decided to Google “snakes on a plane.” I found this blog, with this comment about SOAP (HOLY CRAP!! Snakes on a Plane = SOAP?? This is getting better and better):
What else do you need to know? How the snakes get on the plane, what the snakes do once they’re on the plane, who puts the snakes on the plane, who is trying to get the snakes off the plane…This is not for you to ponder. There are snakes on the plane. End of fucking story.
Well done, sir. Well done.
Star Trek Seussisms
3I wanted to share some of this brilliant Star Trek poetry that I found linked from Boing Boing.
Data: Our ship can get there very fast
But still the trip will last and last
We’ll have two days til we arrive
But can the Indrans there survive?Picard: LaForge, please give us factor nine.
LaForge: But, sir, the engines are offline!
Picard: Offline! But why? I want to go!
Please make it so, please make it so!
Here’s the site, I think it’s fantastic!
An interesting week.
1Sorry I haven’t kept up with the writing, but it’s been a weird, long month. Anywho, tomorrow we’re doing a photoshoot for BOL schwag. What the heck am I gonna wear?? No, seriously. What? I haven’t done laundry since I’ve been back from CES (oops).
I’ve become seriously addicted to rediculously cute things. Popgadget and Shiny Shiny are using up most of my free time on Bloglines these days. Do I need a cell phone plushie? Yes, actually.
On top of everything, we’re doing another Tired Thumbs tomorrow. Which is great, except I’m a leetle bit behind in my gaming news as of late. BUT! We’re going to use the new podcasting features in GarageBand. I’m excited! We’ve been having so much trouble with Gizmo and Skype (mostly, nothing on my end seems to work… nice audio production major, eh?) so hopefully this will solve all our problems.
Time for bed. G’nite!
Not so much NEED as WANT
3I’m not usually one to be sucked in by a television stations “online content,” but I must say that I was a little disapointed by the lack of Mac-compatibility for Comedy Central’s Motherload and MTV’s Overdrive. I mean, it’s not like I really NEEDED to see what happened to the dorky girl that took up wakeboarding on Made, but I was a little curious to see if she stuck with it… anyhow. This is what I get:
In order to offer a broad selection of full-length music videos on-demand and free of charge, MTV Overdrive uses Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect videos from unauthorized re-distribution.Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Windows Media Player Plug-in for Macintosh does not support Windows DRM. If DRM support becomes available for Macintosh, MTV will develop a version of MTV Overdrive that works on a Mac.
Wow. Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s time that the major cable networks get their shit together and offer some Mac compatibility?? I’m not just being biased here, am I? It won’t even work if you have the Mac version of Windows Media Player. Gosh, a girl tries to play it legit, and this is the thanks she gets.
Anywho. New episode of Tired Thumbs tomorrow. Check it out.
