We’re in the home stretch of the Summer of 2011.
It’s been hot as hell’s door hinge here in Philadelphia. Many days spent indoors (thankfully) air-conditioned.
We curse these days. I’d rather be out and about and my dog would rather go for a run than sit looking wistfully out the window all day.
But, it beats shoveling snow.

Summertime always brings random thunderstorms and crazy, angry skies. I happened to see this in the sky as I walked out of a local store last week.

Next Animation TV (those folks who do the strange news animations, like Bin Laden Was a Sex machine), ask the question, “Is Philadelphia The Crappiest City?” The animation is so twisted and bizarre you have to laugh. As one YouTube commenter said, the only thing they got right was how bad Geno’s Steaks really are.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to YouTube, out comes Norwiegian insta-pop singer Tonje Langeteig. The song is just plain awful. The video looks like it was shot on a Thursday afternoon with a cheap handheld and with whoever they could find that wasn’t too embarrassed to appear in it. I’m not sure how songs like this get made, but I think it goes something like this:
Tonje: “I waan to be pop seenger. I waaan to make moosik veedyo”
Husband: (roll eyes) “Here you go, honey. Go play and leave Daddy alone.”
This song will haunt your dreams and penetrate your soul.

(I never knew until now how really bad the Rebecca Black video was, since I could never stomach a full viewing.)
