The End of the World

Parental Control is the greatest show ever to air on MTV, which I think is saying something. The fact that they can script hate like this is just amazing. What a fun job that would be. Giving the most hateful lines you can think of to a 50 year old Asian mother with matching comebacks to the 20 year old asshole. If you've never seen the show, do watch it. It deserves your love.

Shell and I went down to the Congress Bridge today to see the bats. We arrived an hour before dusk just to be safe. We sat there until 9:30. Nothing happened. They were just swirling around beneath the bridge. Don't get me wrong. I loved the rare opportunity to taunt them with such phrases as "Fuck you, bat bitch." and "That bridge is not going to fly out from under itself." I even tried the slow clap Bat Chant to coax them out from their Bat Bridge hiding place. Needless to say, the Bat Fuckers wanted no part of my Bat Chant. I made the observation that perhaps this was a sign of the apocalypse. That, and I am currently reading Good Omens. This book has taught me that if Atlantis rises and Brazil inverts itself, we are in trouble. And now the bats aren't flying out from the under the bridge. Where's Aziraphale when you need him?

UPDATE: There is a guy who looks like a half-black and half-white Drew Layton on this episode. Dave Grohl is talking about musical themes (other than the Power Chords theme) like he knows what he is talking about. I enjoy a good laugh.

I played the Darkness demo. It was fun for about three minutes. I ate a couple of men's hearts with my arms made of darkness. I summoned a comical demon to aid me in my death-dealing. However, the story was just really boring. A mob boss double crosses the main character, ends up killing him, and THE DARKNESS BRINGS HIM BACKOOOOOOOOH! The Darkness imbues him with delicious powers, blah blah blah. Plus, the main character's name is Jackie Estacado. I don't know why, but that name pisses me off. I was also surprised at how poor the graphics were. It looked like a PS2 title. Also, part of the game is that your Darkness suit feeds off of, BOING, darkness. So you have to shoot out all the lights to regenerate your powers. However, you need light to see. Playing the game blind or playing without cool powers? Hrm.
