I thought of a couple more internet videos that I’ve seen a BUNCH of times that might just rival how many times I’ve seen the Incredibles.

The first one is this fantastically hilarious video of Muse performing Feeling Good live on a Spanish TV channel. The story goes that they were told ahead of time that they were not allowed to use any swear words at all. None of their songs have swear words (except for hell, but I don’t think that counts), but apparently Matthew didn’t like being told what to do, so he inserted some choice swear words where normal ones go. So funny. If you don’t particularly like hearing the f-bomb over and over, don’t click in. The absolute best part is when he hides behind the piano and just pops up randomly. Probably one of the worst live performances they’ve ever done and completely hilarious. They were banned for life from that TV channel.

Equally hilarious is their performance of Plug In Baby from the same live performance as above. To truly appreciate it, you’d have to know the original pretty well, but considering Matthew Bellamy is thought to be in the top 50 guitarists of all time, I think anyone can enjoy the hilarity of this performance. Intentionally botching it. So funny. Some people think they’re drunk, but I think they’re just being stupid (although the bass guitarist certainly looks questionable). The best part is absolutely when the sound tech guy checks to make sure their equipment is working. . .lol.

The other internet video I’ve been watching a lot lately is Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. My sister introduced me when she was visiting recently and I’m totally in love with it. You really have to watch it. Neil Patrick Harris is genious.

My sister (the linguist, not the fiber artist) posted some questions on her blog today and I thought since I have no wisdom to impart at the moment, it would be a great blog post for today.

I’m stealing her copy so I don’t have to recap the questions (plagiarism, I know!):

1. What book have you read the most times in your life? Excluding books of scripture and picture books. (I’ve read Peek-a-Who? So many times!)

2. What movie/tv episode/whatever as long as it’s a video of some sort have you seen the most times? Scooby Doo doesn’t count, you only think you’ve seen the same episode many times.

3. What person do you talk to the most? We’ll focus on people who actually talk back, so yelling at the tv doesn’t count.

My answers:

1. Whole lifetime: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I read this book over and over as a kid. Probably because I owned it (got it at a book fair!!) and also because I just loved it. Somehow it really intrigued me and I never tired of it. In my adult life, 1984 by George Orwell would probably be the winner. Love it! If picture books counted, I’ve read the stupid Waffle book a bajillion times. Glad Seth is out of that phase. It doesn’t even warrant listing the author it is so bad.

2. The Incredibles. Not by choice. Although I’ve seen Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone A LOT (back when I got to choose what movie they watched). If I could choose what movie I’ve seen the most I’d choose Juno. LOVE it.

3. Actual conversations, or “Mmm Hmmm.” and “wow, that’s cool”? Actual conversations would be Dave the DH, of course. Otherwise I “talk” to all the kids quite a bit, but usually have no memory of it.

So come on and join in on the fun. No tagging, just answering on your own blogs if you want to.

Proof that Obama has some seriously high expecations out there to level with:

While watching the inauguration, Catherine (6) says, “I hope the first thing Obama does as president is snacks in school!”

So after I told her that the federal government can’t really dictate something like that (although they do, ironically, control a lot of what happens in her class now that I think about it) she decided that she is going to run for State President someday. Her platform is the following:

1. Snacks in school (I’m guessing this means during class).
2. Anyone can do art whenever they want (support of the arts)
3. Everything will be free so poor people can eat

I’m not sure Utah is quite ready for a communist governor, but you never know.

I think she should use this photo for her campaign advertising:
