I am what I am. I like food, photography, and anything that does not involve getting mortally wounded, or dying. I don't take things too seriously, so i'm not at all that serious about being serious. Seriously, just have fun, which is what I like to do sometimes, as long as I don't die, or get mortally wounded.

Avengers Assemble! (Again)

 

The sequel to one of this years biggest blockbusters has been announced.  Mark your calendars, as E-P-I-C awomeness will be assembling on May 1, 2015.

Here’s the press release (via Colliders)

The Walt Disney Studios has announced a release date for Marvel Studios’ sequel to the biggest Super Hero blockbuster and third highest grossing film of all time, Marvel’s The Avengers. Joss Whedon returns to write and direct theUNTITLED MARVEL’S AVENGERS SEQUEL set for release May 1, 2015.

Josh Whedon will once again take the reigns as director (and writer), and with a slew of Marvel releases from now until then, May 1, might come faster than you think.

Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and The Guardians of The Galaxy all set in stone, and all paving way to the Avengers sequel. Of course I cannot forget to mention the Edgar Wright directed Ant Man.  Edgar Wright movies just excite me.

If anyone stayed after the credits of the Avengers (spoiler alert), we all saw Thanos making an appearance.  Perhaps this could be the start of the Infinity Gauntlet/Infinity War series.

All exciting stuff, and I so cannot wait.

Earworm: Peanuts Theme (Linus and Lucy by Vince Guarldi)

“Your call is very important to us, our next available representative will be with you shortly”

That’s what I heard through out the majority of the day.  I just cannot comprehend why a major telecommunication company has trouble transferring service from one floor to the next in the SAME building.  And it also baffles me how their internal system cannot keep track of who’s coming when, and when that will be on what date to get us back up and running.  This so called company which sounds much like Horizon, gave us the run around as our little office moved one floor down.

What does this have to do with my Earworm for today, well, Marky-Mark (my co-worker) was, at the same time, also on hold waiting for a conference call to commence, and as he was holding, (he put his phone on speaker), the Peanuts theme was being used as the hold music, and both of us kept humming it, well after he had hung up on his phone follies.

While I kept hearing “Your call is very important to us, our next available representative will be with you shortly”, I kept humming.  It has since been an Earworm since.

Think twice before shop lifting

This is just too funny! The next time you think about slipping whatever it is that you can or cannot afford into your pocket and leaving the store before stopping by the register, keep this in mind.

Think of the kittens!

 

and just in case you don’t know what commercial it is, because you were probably living under a rock or something…

Alex Clare – Too Close (Earworm)

As i’m sitting there, piping up some sink or something at work, and sort of not paying attention to whatever was playing on SiriusXM, my co-worker suddenly says; ” Oh, I like that song, turn it up!”

I look over, and for the 3rd time that day (the 14th of Aug.), this ‘Too Close’ by a one Alex Clare was playing.  I didn’t really pay attention to the first 2 times they played it, but now since my co-worker likes this song, I was more than inclined to pay attention to it a bit.  I have to say, not quite what I normally listen to, but it was pretty good.  Bit of a dub-step going on in there also.  He (my co-worker, which we shall call Marky-Mark) mentions that he first heard this from a commercial, of which he could not remember.  A quick google and voila, it was used in Microsofts IE spot.

In any case, I present to you our first earworm entry, Alex Clare – Too Close

and the commercial.

Suffice to say, it’s been stuck in my head since yesterday, and now I am interested in hearing more of what he’s got.

Top Gear US Season Opener

 

Season 3 of the US version of Top Gear premiered today, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It’s still lacking something, but, it has gotten better since it the first season.

My only gripe still is, that they only really have about 45 minutes (1 hour, save time for commercials) so, they can only do so much.  They covered the Crown Vic’s replacement on the law enforcement side, which proved to be entertaining.  I still don’t get why it always ends up Rutt in a Chevy, Adam in a Chrysler, and Tanner in a Ford.  I have some expectations for this season, as they do seem to get better and better with each episode, and the chemistry between the 3 presenters also get better.

Check your local listings for re-runs.  Next week’s episode seems fun, with 3 urban vehicles being tested.

It shows on the History Channel at 9 EST every Tuesday.
