Stephen Colbert and Daft Punk

Why yes, that IS Bryan Cranston...as if we need more reasons to love that guy.

I was catching up on some articles this weekend after getting back from a two week vacation in Hawaii (more on that later), and this was easily the best thing I've seen in awhile:

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade :P

Goats yelling like humans and babies eating wasabi

And now for some silly videos. First up, we have a good 'ol compilation of goats yelling like humans:


And then, Chinese parents giving their baby a glob of wasabi...

   

Happy Friday!

Batman and Twinkies

I don't think this is the same "League of Assassins" we know today from the Animated Series or the Nolan movies...

This is just one of the many super-hero Hostess ads I recently discovered on this page, back when Batman, Spider-Man, more would get into some crazy hijinks involving snack cakes as the answer.

RIP Hostess.

Pity Cyclops

"Jeaaaaaaaaan!"

TV Time

I thought I'd share some quick bullets and what I've been watching lately:

The Walking Dead: The fast pace of this past half-season has totally made up for all the time WASTED on Hershel's farm last season.  

Revolution: In my ever-failing quest in finding a Lost-like show, main protagonist Charlie is a Katniss-wannabe that makes you want to pull your hair out. We tried it for three episodes, but couldn't take it anymore. For your reading pleasure, I submit to you 23 Stupid Things Charlie Has Done on Revolution.

 
Food shows: I haven't watched any food-related shows in awhile, but recently added The Next Iron Chef and Top Chef to the DVR. I was also recommended a new show on PBS featuring David Chang and Anthony Bourdain called The Mind of a Chef.

Through Netflix, I went back and finished up season 2 of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, and I'm really glad I did! There were a lot of great twists and the plot and action was fast-paced as the show was not being renewed for another season. I'm thoroughly convinced some writers need a set finish date and that television shows should not be allowed to just linger for all eternity.  

Key and Peele: My favorite new sketch comedy show. I eagerly await each new episode, although I need to go back and watch season one. I crack up every time I think of this skit:

Zombie rom-com

Warm Bodies: It's a zombie romantic comedy...and it doesn't look bad:

Team Coco and the Walking Dead

Zombie drama The Walking Dead has been tearing it up (heh heh...) this season, and much to my delight, was featured on Conan recently:

Alicia Keys covers Disney's "Gummi Bears" theme song

Seriously, only on Jimmy Fallon could this happen:

Alicia Keys Breaks Hearts With 'Adventures of the Gummi Bears' Cover (MTV Geek)


What a brilliantly quirky piece of promotion Alicia, and kudos to you for reminding me of my addiction to the Disney Afternoon block of cartoons from my childhood. RIP Gummi Bears. Next I want a soulful rendition of the Duck Tales theme song by Hall & Oates...oh wait...

Tuesday's Tunes: She's Gone

Now, I love me some Hall & Oates, but words fail me in how to set up this video of their hit "She's Gone," so you'll just have to watch it yourselves and we can then debate what is the most ridiculous part of this early music video...

We can shoot a Russian Unicorn

Although this was originally released back in July 2011, I was only recently exposed to the wonder of Bad Lip Reading's "Russian Unicorn" and haven't been able to stop listening to this song. While I am not a fan of Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet," they somehow created something that better matches the video footage:


If you watch it in YouTube, be sure to turn the captions ON to get all the badly lipread lyrical goodness. The song is also available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify. A big thank you to WD for pointing me to this stellar music video.

Even Batman is frustrated by the new Maps app

See what happens when Batman tries to use his Apple Maps App to navigate Gotham on his way to save Rachel in The Dark Knight. 


Thanks for sharing this video JC, I couldn't stop laughing after hearing Batman's grubmlings.

Hot drinks really get you going

I had no idea that the Wendy's fast food chain had the secret talent of creating catchy music videos...this is truly bizarre:

   

I love when music, food, and humor get together to have a party!

If Superman were to start going senile...

If Superman were to start going senile, it would probably look a little like the above.

Link: "When Worship Songs Go Blank"

I really enjoyed this April entry from the blog "Stuff Christians Like": When Worship Songs Go Blank

It reminds me of the one-year period where basically it was me vs. the audio AND visual equipment. A fellow worship leader at church suggested the equipment might have been demon-possessed, and after awhile, I really considered that possibility. In the end, it was a good character building experience that every musician faces at one point or another, but on a spiritual level, reminded me that our worship experience is more than the lights and the sound, and comes back to the heart.

Also, here's a bonus image taken during Sunday afternoon rehearsal back in the Spring: 

Avengers Goodies

People have sent me some great Avengers related pieces this past week and I just had to share them here:

Happy Mother's Day! I hope you enjoy this witty card I found on Etsy. And don't forget to call your mother today, if you can't do the brunch-thing!

The next time there's a site-wide Threadless sale, I am so hitting this up.

However, there is a $9.95 sale going on right now on select designs with limited sizing, in which you can find one of my all-time favorites:

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.
