I’d give you a good plot synopsis, but it’s rather impossible.  Also, I’m not a horrible spoiler.

I would love to see it again, but I’ve already missed about 90% of the good movies that came this summer.

In summary:

mind = blown

Chris Nolan = win

Inception = mind * Chris Nolan * 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 = 9.2 (third place [it would move up if I had anything to do with it]) on IMDB

In this episode, Turkebeneministan gets a new presiminister, Bret gets a new job (what’s new, eh?), and the new guy gives us an update on killer cookies.

It’s pretty awesome outside tonight.  I also need a digital SLR camera.  Or I could permanently steal Robby’s.

Actually, except for the viral videos segment, I hate CNN.  It is my least favorite news channel.

Anyway, here’s the link (at about 3 minutes is when the choir clip begins):  http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2010/04/03/nr.levs.viral.video.04.03.cnn?hpt=T2

The new intro, for all the videos we are not making.

Remember how much I love Eric Whitacre’s music?  Well, we did a second Youtube choir thing with his music.  This time he conducted it himself.  And I again joined the ranks of the bass 2s.  Here’s the most amazing video.  And you’ll see me right in the middle above Whitacre, then zoomed all the way in at about 1:30.  I don’t know why, but it seems besides Whitacre and the soloist, I’m the only one on whom the producer zoomed in (on in which the producer zoomed? stupid English).

You should watch it in 1080p and rate it on Youtube here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7o7BrlbaDs.  It is amazing.  Also, you should join next time.  I’ll keep ya posted.

This man is amazing.

Also, I’ve had the draft of this post for months.  I need to publish it.

Also, It’s snowed every weekend for a month.  It has also melted every following day.  It’s stupid.  I like snow, but in large quantities and play-on-able.  Skiing and tubing for the win!  Tennessee for the fail!

Watch it.  It is amazing.  Also, it’s completely computer generated.  Wow.

Also, it doesn’t tell you that I can now dunk, as of 14 January 2010.  That’s kind of exciting, I guess.

Anyway, click on the pic to enlarge it.
