must watch - star wars dance off

July 3, 2008 at 6:51 pm · Filed under online humor, scifi-fantasy

Ok, so earlier I posted the Boba Fett Flashdance video. I thought nothing could make me laugh harder than that.

I was wrong.

I now bring you the 2008 Dance Off with the Star Wars Stars filmed at this year’s Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World.

I really thought couple #1 had it, but that last minute entry simply steals the show. Come on over to the Dark Side and laugh your butt off:

Genius…sheer genius…

This has got to be one of the funniest parodies I’ve seen on YouTube in a while:

I especially enjoy the Star Wars twist at the end.

I did a little stop-action filming in high school and I can tell you, even with today’s tech advances, that video took some work. Kudos!

Happy Birthday Jeff!!

July 2, 2008 at 5:00 pm · Filed under life

Ok, I know he hates the attention, but I have to give a shoutout to my bestest bud Jeff for his birthday.

We first met a few years ago when we both attended a talk by travel writing guru Arthur Frommer at the Orlando Public Library downtown. Since then I’ve become really good friends with both him and his lovely wife and I feel very blessed that I have both in my life.

So Jeff, even though I know you’re over a thousand miles away, once again being a personal Superman to many who are in need, I hope you’ve found the time to have a really wonderful birthday.

And cake. Can’t forget the cake. LOL

Many hugs and blessings for another year on this planet. Can’t wait to see you whenever you get back.

Yup, it’s a new project called “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” that stars NPH (Neil Patrick Harris to those who’ve never seen Harold & Kumar) as the trying-to-be-evil madman, Nathan Fillion as the superhero Captain Hammer, and is written by Joss Whedon and various family members. It’s a three-part musical that will be aired on the internet in the near future.

The fan site for the film just unearthed the first video teaser for the project and as expected from anything JW touches, it’s hilarious.

Turn up the sound and enjoy:

Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.

So what do you think? Does it look like something you’d watch? No air date has been set yet, but I’ll post details as I get them.

eating my way through a store…

June 26, 2008 at 9:02 am · Filed under Orlando, food, photography

Yesterday morning, Rhon and I went to the grand opening of the new Whole Foods Market in Dr. Phillips. We went early for the free advertised breakfast, which was basically croissants and coffee or OJ, and the free tote bag of goodies, so we were in line by 7:30am.

Only for best friends and free stuff will I get up that early voluntarily. LOL

But I think I have a new fave grocery store. I’d never been in a Whole Foods before because I never had one nearby. Even in Orlando, I would have had to drive up to Winter Park. But this new one is only 10 min away and is on the way home from both mine and Rhon’s new jobs, if we go the alternate route up Turkey Lake Rd.

I think I like it because the prices are actually pretty reasonable and also, I hate to cook, so the huge deli/prepared foods area holds a big appeal. I mean why slave over a BBQ brisket, mashed potatoes and veggies when you can just pick it up already cooked and bring it home? LOL

But I also like that you can sample stuff so you don’t drop the money only to find you don’t like it. And omg, did we sample yesterday. We tried a $17 prosciutto, salami, three kinds of cheeses (of course, my fave turned out to be a Wisconsin cheddar LOL), vegan roasted red pepper soup, hummus made from edamame and another made from sweet potatoes, and organic pineapple, oranges and strawberries. They also had fresh gelato (thumbs up to the coconut) and that BBQ beef brisket was finger-sucking good. We spent two hours in there and walked out almost full.

But to our surprise, the sampling didn’t end at the store. Those tote bags I mentioned? Full of all kinds of samples, including organic chips and cookies, full-sized packages of creamy tomato soup and Newman’s mints, and several kinds of teas and smoothies. There were also several health and beauty samples including Kiss My Face and Burts Bees stuff, and to our surprise, even a cute silver-plated bracelet. All total, I would estimate each bag had like $40 or so worth of samples. You can see the haul in the photo.

I did a write up on it for Metroblogging Orlando and I uploaded a bunch of photos to Flickr, for those who want to know more about the store. Here’s a few of my fave shots from the batch.

Of course, being up so early, after being up late writing, meant I basically slept most of the afternoon when I got home. LOL I so am not a morning person.
