Seems like the most honest review I have seen so far.

Before and after.

More Weezer. BB posted a video for Pork and Beans. The video has a bunch of internet memes, many of which I have totally missed. Which means I must be getting older.

GI Joe PSA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atXIKI2XHj4

Never heard of Shoes, Will it blend, Soulja Boy, Light Saber Guys or the GI Joe PSA. I had heard but not seen the K-Fed, Leave Britney Alone, and Evolution of Dance.

Not hearing good things about the new Weezer album. Getting very worried!

I just watched Children of Men on DVD. Good movie but a bit tough to watch at times. One of the DVD extras is The Possibility of Hope (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) which:

The documentary explores the intersection between the film’s themes and reality with a critical analysis by eminent scholars: the Slovenian sociologist and philosopher Slavoj Žižek , anti-globalization activist Naomi Klein, futurist James Lovelock, sociologist Saskia Sassen, human geographer Fabrizio Eva, cultural theorist Tzvetan Todorov, and philosopher and economist John N. Gray.

Very good stuff if you like thinking about the future, the nature of people or just like sci-fi and the ideas that inspire it.

OK, I try not to bitch about work since my super-secret blog is not as anonymous as it used to be and a couple of co-workers do know about it. That aside, let the bitching begin:

Last week I moved cubes (not much of a move, 2 down) to get away from some noise and from a loud neocon who sat across from me. As of today there are now 2 consultants in the cube beside me. One is on the phone all day to other clients and the other is a … wait for it… loud neocon. He also wants to move the entire shop to Java. This from a guy hired as a BA. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! All I need now is for him to talk about how much he loves Jesus and Pat Robertson and he’ll have broken all the social taboos in one day.

Seriously, if you are a consultant, you should work your ass off not to offend and do a good job. Your coming in because management can’t get their shit right and you’re being paid a lot for the same work as the people around you but your input matters more and you won’t have to clean up the mess you made. So don’t be a giant flaming asshole when you do it, … k?

Today, I had a kid.
Well, if anything happens to Brian and Aimee then I have a kid. I am not pulling for that but if something does then then goddaughter moves to real daughter status. So welcome Brooklyn Marie Lazenby!
I assume being my god-daughter comes with a lot of pressure. Naturally I expect any plans I have for world domination, you’ll be all-in. You’ll probably be an honorary general or something in charge of my armies once I get those together. But until that happens, I figure we need to outline the godfather duties. A quick Wikipedia search informs me that I am sponsor your baptism. If you were born a little Jewish boy, then we’d have an issue but I think I can handle baptism.
So I figure beyond the baptism and being on-call if something happens to the folks, I will fall back to the cool uncle status that I’ve been perfecting for years. Try to stay hip enough to relate and keep the channels of communication open. I don’t have to be the heavy but if I think you are headed down a dangerous path, I’ll call you out on it. I’m all ears if anyone out there has any other tips for a new godfather or goddaughter. And I think she definitely takes after me.Brooklyn
