barnson.org Half-baked opinions, served lukewarm.

In the last seven days I have...

1) Literally saved a dude from dying.
2) Pretended to be Woody from Toy Story for the President of Hair Cuttery.
3) Had a baby pee on my feet.
4) Pretended to murder 72 people, and got praised for it
5) Yelled at my sister and had her tell me I did a good job at it
6) Saw my face on the cover of a commercially released DVD
7) Written a rap about Santa Claus and Angelina Jolie

No.. its not a typo..

This is the top story on yahoo News right now.. and once again, Fox has screwed Whedon fans...

CLICK HERE FOR THE STORY

Basically, there was a live event that would play the episode "Once more With Feeling" from buffy, with live actors a la "Rocky Horror" and Fox has shut it down.. (The people involved made a good faith agreement with a group called Criterion which evidently has some say in these things)

The SWEENEY TODD trailer with JOHNNY DEPP is now available!! WooT!!

Okay.. here's a fun one (Ben, are you listening?)

So, we all know that there was movie called "Snakes on a Plane". Let us assume that Joe Schmoe also had a screenplay called "Snakes on a Plane", and while it had snakes and a plane, it was otherwise, a totally different story.

Let us assume that the screenplay for the unmade film was copyrighted first, but that the writer of the other (hit film) "Snakes on a Plane" had no idea there was ever an unmade screenplay with the same name.

Hey friends.. this is the big one!
TIMEWARP FILMS' "DEAD HUNT" is now available for purchase on a special 2 disc DVD.

In this film, I play a major role AND crafted the film's musical score.

This score is one of my proudest musical compositions.. and is unavailable ANYWHERE except on the movie DVD.

Hey.. its only 20 bucks, and I ask everyone out there to help support independent filmmakers and myself by picking up the flick.

We're working our way through the Office season 3, and the episode "Grief Counseling" came on, which is about the death of a coworker.

Because my life is often ironic, I went to work today at the hospital, and halfway through the night, word floated up from the ER that a coworker of mine (for whom I had picked up a shift not 24 hours prior) had suddenly and unexpectedly died tonight.

Now, our floor is in shock. We all knew this affable, friendly woman.. and she was here not 28 hours ago, laughing with us about her upcoming plans.

Short one today..
I'm sitting here at work - I work a job with 24 hour staffing.

Why can I blog? Because the person supposed to relieve me is taking their sweet time.

The shift replacing me is supposed to be here at 6:45. I then give a report to the oncoming person, and I'm done by 7:15.

My replacement comes in every day at 6:55. Gets a cup of coffee.. and doesn't begin report until 7.

Simply put, if you're reading this.. Click HERE and it will open up a new window that will play "Presidentialized", the second cut off my album, "THREE".

Please, please, with fluffy bunnies just click away HERE! (do it lots!), because my number of plays determines my ranking on the chart, which could get me noticed by The Powers That Be (With respects to Cordelia Chase).

CLCIK HERE!

I don't often troll for help - but this one is easy!

What?!!

See, it occurred to me that over the years, we've debated a lot of points regarding religion and faith.. but I'm still really not sure what everyone really thinks. We debate the finer points but never really say where we stand.. so I found myself wondering.

Here's my track...
Episcopal -> Catholic -> Right Wing Protestant Evangelical -> Centrist Protestant Christian

Which is to say that I started episcopal, became a catholic when I learned the history of the episcopal church (and cuz my Dad was one), rejected that based on theological problems (and un-christian priests), jumped the fence to being a young Jerry Falwell and have settled down into a centrist Christian faith.

So.. I sent my CD to XM. They liked it! They really liked "Presidentialized" (my geek-rap social commentary)! So its going out over the XM airwaves NATIONALLY! And YOU can listen (even w/o XM)!

So...

Its going to be on XMU (which plays unsigned bands) on the RADAR report which is on at10pm ET. (Adjust for your timezones). Sometime during the show, you'll hear my fun little ditty! (The show repeats every Friday at 2pm ET and Every Saturday at 6am ET)
