How's that?
Nick is right: whoever created Huh? Corp is a genius.

"We have really smart people who are always thinking up totally cool shit. We have a meeting room with a big, round, expensive table... We also have one of those dry-erase boards on the wall, and we take turns making flow-charts and brain-storming and talking about 'injecting creativity into market positioning,' and cool stuff like that."

Possibly the world's greatest video game?
Well, you might not think so, but I love MySpace.com's Bake Sale video game. Of course, I also love that show where the FBI agent can't solve crimes unless his genius brother uses math. I am so hot for crimefighting math nerds...

Anyway, the game: you have to buy ingredients, set recipes and prices, and then see how much rice krispie treats and apple cider you can unload on your neighbors. You have to comparison shop at the grocery store; your recipes and prices affect your popularity which can increase the next day's sale; even the weather is a factor. By the third round, I was using Excel spreadsheets to set prices based on supply and demand.

I should probably think about getting some sort of social life.

NYUFF is Enough?
The New York Underground Film Festival kicked off last night with a last-minute second-showing of their opening night film added, after the first one sold out. Tonight's selections include a series of shorts called PFFR: Legacy 2. Produced by (the art rock band?) PFFR, selections include a new MTV2 series called Wonder Showzen: a fucked up kids show described as an "unprotected mainstream television show mindfuck." The Hands of God is a documentary about Christian puppeteers. And Final Flesh should really only be described by PFFR themselves:

"FINAL FLESH is a filthy animal that ought to be slaughtered like an animal by another, hungrier animal, and then shat out by that animal onto a third, and unsuspecting animal, East St. Louis style."

See you at the movies.

Corpse Rock
In a recent survey, over 45,000 Europeans were asked about funeral music.

"Queen’s The Show Must Go On was voted No 1 funeral song by one in five Europeans, with Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven coming in second and AC/DC’s Highway to Hell third."

"I either want Amazing Grace or the dogs barking "Jingle Bells" song."
