Wormwood

If you're into weird sci-fi supernatural soap operas then you'll like this, but if you're into believe able characters placed within a riveting storyline then you'll enjoy it also. There's an alcoholic Dr. Xander Crow who has been called to the town of Wormwood by the dream of a dead woman. Also in the show is a heavy metal rocker named Jimmy Details. With people like this to Deidre Frost the local cafe owner and poison maker it seems impossible for it to be at all realistic, but you will soon be entraped in the world of this small town.


You can subscribe to this podcast via itunes and also at their website. The entire first season is online and eleven of the second season are up. Although it is perpeted to update weekly this doesn't always happen, but once you're hooked you'll never give up.

Blogs of Interest

There are a couple of blogs I keep up on around here. The first is Belle de Jour's. She is the somewhat witty writing hooker from England. Although she is no longer a hooker she still is amusing at times. Also you might of heard of her show. It's on ITV2 in England or Showtime in America (although america's is one season behind).



Another blog I've been perusing lately is by Rufus Dayglo the new artist for Tank Girl. If you are at all interested in this wonderful revival then I suggest stopping by and checking out the many sneak peek pictures he's putting up. Enjoy. (also for some reason both of these are from the uk)

Bunny

Bunny is a weekday webcomic that generally covers current event related ideas and is great for those slightly intellectually inclined.

Election Times

Yeah I bet it's getting annoying by now. Everyone's all about who's going to be the new president, but can you really blame us? This outcome could change a lot of things and no doubt will have effect on the next 4 years. In that vein here's a cute you tube video on Electing a US President that explains exactly how the electoral system works.


Now that you know how the system works, here's one of the many places you can keep up with what early votes are going where. Enjoy.

Dawe and Clarke

Dawe and Clarke are a sketch comedy duo that have some wonderful political sketches including "The Front Fell Off".

Adult Swim

Today was an especially bad day for me, so here's an especially great thing. On Adult swim .com there are some great games like 5 minutes to kill yourself(clearly not great for all audiences).

Also you can catch new shows and random episodes that have already come out. Lately they've had several family guy's at all times and one of my new favorites is superjail.

Superjail is very graphic and sporadic. Fun characters with continually new ideas make this show worth a watch.

Kingdom of Loathing

Kingdom of Loathing is a MMORPG for non intense gamers. You can play as a saucemancer and many other characters. The currency is in meat and puns are more then necessary (alliteration isn't scarce either). The pirate's cove and lyric dungeon are some of my favorites, also don't forget to have a few drinks at the end of the day.

Questionable Content

Is not actually very questionable. This sassy Indie Web comic does push the boundaries from time to time, but if you get out occasionally and watch TV you'll not be shocked in the least. Almost every comic gives a good laugh or two and the drawing is great. The characters are love-able and neurotic.To meet the cool characters at Coffee of Doom click this link.

Touching moments

*be ware if you didn't cry during the notebook*

So here's a little comedy and a little hallmark. Thanks to NBC you can catch the office online and at the end of the first episode there's a lovely touching moment. For those who don't care for that it's short enough to ignore.

Shroud of the Thwacker

This is a comedy, mystery, time traveling, fo-history novel by comedian Chris Elliott. You might of seen this actor tucked away in movies such as There's something about Mary (but not Home Alone, that's another guy).
Sure this guy's look doesn't scream comedic genius, but I swear this book is golden. Within the covers (which have a wonderfully detailed map on the insides) you will meet many screwball characters including a robot named Boilerplate and his evil genius creator Archibald Champion.


I have no doubts that anyone with even a tiny funny bone with find this book hilarious. Also there is some adult content, but nothing a somewhat mature teenager couldn't handle.

Avoiding homework

So I'm trying this biweekly for a while. If that's too much I'll pull it back and if it works out well I might try more. For now though, here's some things to avoid homework with:

More flash games!
-If you like balloons or monkeys this game is fun. Somewhat strategic, but really just silly (the third one is the best). Tower Defense

-Indecision 2008: An Inconvenient Game : In this game from Comedy Central you get to fix the energy and global warming problems of America. There are many hilarious outcomes including a monster battle.

To keep yourself busy mentally while playing these games you might want to check some of these podcasts that are good for a laugh:
-You look nice today : again available through itunes or follow the link to their website. This one is rather nice for a silly laugh. It's three guys who talk about sitting problems in airport waiting rooms, ham, and their very own man school.
-Dick Dynamo the 5th Dimensional Man :
This is a lovely comedy spoof on old time radio. I've you're a man, woman, vegetarian, or alien you will be offended (but in a good way). Also this podcast is not all ages appropriate.

That's all for now folks. I hope this is enough to keep you busy for a little while.
