Poor Peter Schiff. The guy was basically psychic and everyone was laughing him off.

Win.

You know who you are.

Take On Me: The Literal Version

I thoroughly approve. One of my all-time favorite 80s songs.

Wow. This guy is gonna be fun to watch.

Late last week and into the weekend, my parents were sharing with me what was an amusing development at my aunt’s house. Amusing to me, at least, at my safe distance of over 400 miles away. A young squirrel has somehow found its way into her house. My aunt is a bit of a pack rat, so needless to say, there are plenty of places for the little guy to hide.

LiveLeak.com - Female reporter hit by zorb ball

The balance of the universe is upset by reporters who attempt to act EXTREME. Thankfully, order is restored.

Entertainment Weekly’s writeup about the making of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (which, by the way, is worth picking up on iTunes if you missed it) is a really interesting read. It covers everything from the initial pitch to the actors all the way to the extras they want to pack into the DVD release, including panther noises:

We’re not sure that we can accomplish it, but we want to have languages: French, Spanish, Japanese translated back very badly into English, classical Latin, and panther noises. –Joss Whedon
