I have not been this amazed, this entranced by folded paper pretty much ever in my life.

Check this out:  A frikkin' Origami CITY


Everything about it is just pure tasty.  I cannot even wrap my head around what went into making this, hell I am generally amazed by the folks who make a origami swan, but a city huh?  That's way niftier than a swan.  

And even more impressive than the creation itself is what the guy plans to do with it... I hope there is a live feed or something of the event.

They call themselves "Toronto's Light Favourites".  The they in question is CHFI 98.1 (even look at their homepage, it screams of the bland that comes before death...) and I have been seeing an odd number of commercials on television advertising this station.  The new commercials showcase the type of music they play giving us clips of Micheal Buble (he comes with an accent that makes him exotic), John Mayer, Madonna then Beyonce.  There is mention of their most famous on air personalities, Eric and Mike (who probably do the morning show... cuz they like to mention that morning drive slot which I would think would be inconsequential because people are half asleep and the other half hates the world for making them awake in the morning... but that is just me), but I think its important to not that the commercials that features Erin and Mike doing... things... were sometimes entertaining.  

This commercial I have been seeing is not as entertaining.  

( Kindly and Inoffensively I put my slightly insane ranting behind a cut. )

In other news.  I likely need to spend some time in a nice quiet green forest.  Possibly a very long time :)

To begin... a meme via kingfuraday which involves randomly clicking on one's mp3 player, which I am and always have been a sucker for (and this might be a cue to look up those old similarly themed meme's and do em all over again cuz they were uberfantastico).

( Meme like to hide )

And speaking of Ich Will...
( It had to be asked...  )

So they... uhh... are going to have Micheal Jackson's remains at the 16000 person memorial service at the Staples Center... ya, that one where people were screaming and doing little happy dances of respectful mourning after winning their tickets on the internet.

Now I might be off base, but that strikes me as a tiny bit ooky,

Is it too much to ask that they hook up his body with really thin wires so they wont show up on camera and give us all one last crotch grab and moonwalk?

P.S. If yer a MJ fan and the suggestion that his body be turned into a freakish marionette for our pleasure  (what...? Robin is good) offends you, well... sorry... but its already going to happen... well other than the wires and crotch grabbing.

*edit*

Just heard a woman being interviewed on the radio say, "When I heard that I was OMG Micheal Jackson is going to be there!".  (yes... but he IS DEAD.  and y'know maybe a memorial service is the place to get all OH EM GEE fangirl?)

And dang... tickets are being hocked for some solid bank.

I guess he might have approved of this, and ya, I pretty much would love to have a memorial service where 45 year old fangirls got all OH EM GEE if my corpse was gonna be put on display (but that is because I am abnormal and want all conventions of acceptable society to sink beneath poisonous waves... especially at my funeral where I will not have to see the repercussions), but it all strikes me a little disconcerting. 

The question on the buffalo area radio talk show I happen to be listening to is "Is Micheal Jackson deserving of all the attention he is getting?  (addendum:  add today at the end as secondary question)"

( Cuts are better than Vagisil )

Ok, so that is that.  Farewell Micheal Jackson, you made me want to watch zombie movies, and for that I salute thee.

In a rare case of "do as I say", not the regular "do as I say, not as I do" we have this sort of story going out today...

 ( CUT FOR ADDED GOODNESS )

Coffee it is.

The alternatives are terrifying.

Plumbing disaster averted!

Thank that which is bigger and more impressive than humanity and other random dot biological and terrestrial thingies for small victories.

THIS HERE IN PARTICULAR

Bugger beefeaters and all that other London type stuff, that is a reason to go abroad... hells yes.

When yer watching those crime shows that follow IRL police around to crime scenes and all that jazz like they have for basically half the programming day on A&E, what is the deal with criminals and double negatives?!?!?!

Girl emphatically exclaims while being interviewed, "I didn't see NOTHIN'!". 

Guy says while being questioned, "I don't wanna go to a penitentiary for not doing nothin'."

Dude, and girly...  The grammar police have caught you on tape and put you on national television.  Can this be used in a court of law, in essence they were being all helpful with police because she did basically say that she did not see nothing, which means she did see something, that is honest and forthcoming!  And in essence the guy basically confessed (or made the statement so backwards and forwards that it fails to mean anything at all), that has to be worth a couple years off a sentence for being cooperative with police right?

I am thinking this is an open door for some slickster legal finangling!

Other than Ass Effects being a proton pump inhibitor (which I cannot decide whether that sounds like a Star Trek engine room doohicky or some futuristic sex toy) I am curious about Fred himself.  I cannot for the life of me figure out why his almost sorta accent is baffling me.  It sounds familiar, but also not.  Where does this guy sound like he is from?  Especially right at the end when he says, "Great." I am hearing a something something that is tickling my brain meats...
