Content, aching ankle, Dork D

Wow I produced a lot of content yesterday even without a real blog entry.  The latest Jeremy Xtranormal cartoon hit the streets to much acclaim. Then later I posted two more videos, one of my second attempt at this month’s Bar-barian challenge, and then a second one of me working bar dips.

Both of these have an element of humor in them.  In the static hold you can hear quite clearly the neighbor’s chihuahua yelping away.  I even mentioned it in the video.  The noise hits squarely on my last nerve.

In order to do bar dips, you have to first get yourself on top of the bar.  I figured I would just do a jumping muscle up to do it.  Well I did this after the static hold.  I didn’t think it would hamper me that much in getting up, well it did.  I had to try 5 or 6 times until I finally managed to get on top.

During one of those failed attempts I dropped off the bar and managed to twist my ankle on one of the landscape blocks that had fallen off the stack.  It’s kind of funny.

My latest Netflix dvd arrived in the mail yesterday Gamers: Dorkness Rising.  No, you have never heard of this title and there is a good reason, it sucks.  I had heard it mentioned on the Stern show several months ago and threw it in my Netflix queue.  Either Howard or Ralph said they saw it and it was really funny.  A funny movie about nerdy gamers, ok sounds interesting.

I made the assumption that the movie was about computer/video gamers.  It turns out it was about Dungeon & Dragon players, you know the old style card game thing.  This may have been more relevant in the 90’s, I was surprised to see it was released in 2008.

The movie was kind of funny, funny because it was so cheesy and low budget.  It literally looked like it was created on somebody’s home computer, complete with poorly done Adobe After Effects.  Most of the actors were God awful as you would expect.  It’s funny how for some reason I would view someone that played the D&D board game as far nerdier than a typical WoW player.  Anyway, the movie was stupid from the word go, I’d give it a D, as in DON’T see it.

The movie recommendations I get off the Stern show are hit and miss for me.  Sometimes I love them but more than a few times something that has been talked up on the show turns out to be pretty sad when I view it first hand.

Tonight Ali and I plan to venture out to the county fair.  It should be a people watching extravaganza.
