Considering today is this website’s first birthday, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than having as many people take today off of work as possible.  Great job to everyone who skipped their great jobs!  (Government workers and bankers seemed to get away with this a little easier than others, for some reason.)

Some quick stats for the site:

  • There are 517 total posts.  (518 after this one…)
  • The most posts in one day: 6 (October 22… there were many four-post days in the beginning)
  • The least posts in one day: 0 (October 18 and April 10)
  • Most hits in one day: 261 (May 4, because of this post)
  • Most hits in one month: 2998 (January)

This site was started out of boredom at work mostly.  Last October, no clients were calling, and I used “learning how to blog” as my reason to get more hours at work.

The bulk of the categories at the left were there from the beginning.  The first appeared on October 14th: In My Brain While Sleeping, Happy Find, and InASense, Lost.

The last category came to be on July 30th: The Shit To Just Shitty. It was about director Chris Columbus.
Hey wait, that reminds me of my first JusWondering post about Columbus Day.
Hey wait, is that why everyone was able to skip work for the party?

Seriously though… thanks to everyone that has ever stopped by (and continues to stop by for some reason)!  I wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

Well I could, but where’s the fun in that?

InASense, Lost… Tricky Beavers, Horny Money, and Fuzzy Nudes (Need I Say More?)

This happened on a news broadcast here in Detroit.  I don’t know how someone pulled the wool over the network brass’ eyes (or whatever the furry dam-building creature’s pelt is called), or if someone genuinely possesses that name (doubt it would be filmed if that were true), but I won’t spoil the joke:

I’m glad no one at Channel 4 was so uptight to exclude the shout-out, on the off-chance it is real.  That usual uppity highbrow mentality keeps cool commercials like this one out of the good ol’ U.S. of T&A:

But on theother hand, our Puritanical ways keep weird shit like this from happening on TV, too:

How Big Furry Bad Ass Does This Look?

Finally!  A full preview for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are (sorry, Maurice Sendak!)

There were a lot of concerns popping up all over the TripleDoubleU regarding the making of this film, but it looks like those concerns were not warranted.  Plus, I’m glad they decided to show the Wild Things so clearly in the trailer, and not pull a Godzilla (but in this case, maybe a Gremlins would have been nice).

I mean, look at all the worrying done over the film adaptation of Watchmen, and see how well everything turned out.

Vodpod videos no longer available. Did you know that the music was done by Where the Wild Things Arcade Fire?

 

 

Next, someone should adapt this Google guy’s book into a flick:

Happy birthday very hungry guy!
