CAKE!

So, I didn't have anything else to do today but click around the internet for a while until something interesting came up. Oh and how awesome it was.

It started by checking the usual sites, which of course meant my webcomics. First stop was Questionable Content (awesome webcomic, you have to check it out although it does have a story so you have to go back to the first one. but its worth it...) and on the news post Jeph said he had made a guest strip for johnny wander (another pretty rad webcomic, i just got there today in fact and am now in the process of looking at it). Anyways I followed the link and started looking around and I stumbled on awesome #44 Cake Wreck (the comic) which made me giggle, however the best part was the newspost and the real life picture of the thing! And what else do I find there but another link, this time to Cake Wrecks (the blog) which has entertained me for a while now and almost made me fall of my chair laughing.

reality dating

Okay okay, I was watching the rock of love bus show today and it got me thinking about these reality shows. Of course, several questions popped into my mind 1) why the hell am i watching this? 2) why the hell does anyone watch this? 3) why do this girls keep killing each other for a date with that guy?

Well, it's no secret that some of the reality stars girls fight over are downright ugly, ridiculous, or just not worth all that drama. My first example is bret michaels, he's in many ways better than many other reality stars (anyone say flavor flav?) but he's not drop dead gorgeous. He's not in a really good shape anymore and he's getting kinda old. However my problem is mostly his hair, a flowing, increasingly silly wig. He admits to having fake hair but come on dude lol. However he is famous and a pretty cool guy (I mean, what girl wouldn't fall for a musician?) and the girls get a chance at fame and tv time.

Now, as for the "why watch this" question, I must say that there are several possible reasons.

• There are hot half naked girls getting drunk and doing silly things
• Its a pretty interesting thing to see, people doing ridiculous crazy things just for our entertainment
• Its impossible not to watch it
• Our brains have slowly rotted through previous crappy programing and now we'll take anything.

Well, I guess this is one of the great mysteries of mankind and we should just forget about it and go watch some tv.

Ludo

Okay, I know sometimes all you want is to know what someone else is listening to so you have something new in your ipod (or other music player of choice). Especially, when that someone has awesome music taste (like I do, no?). Anyway, Ludo is my new obsession.

How can you not like them? they are awesome (in a geeky weird sort of way). The music is upbeat, the lyrics are crazy (most of the time) and the videos are pretty damn cool. I have no idea how popular they are (MTV status? completely unknown?) and I don't really care this time around. So if you are ready for some undefinable, weird rock music check them out.

The songs in their albums are pretty varied as there are a couple of plainly crazy songs mixed in with a little bit of everything (sad songs, slow songs, normal songs, happy songs, party songs, drunken laments...).
Songs you must listen to (in no particular order):

• Good Will Hunting by Myself
• Lake Pontchartrain
• Girls on Trampolines
• Love me Dead
• Go-Getter Greg
• Topeka

So go ahead and check them out on myspace or the interwebs
