I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, right, I didn't think of that.

Probably just melodramatic voiceover, then.

Life in the Freezer has more penguins than Life of Birds, as far as 10-part BBC-produced Attenborough-narrated nature programs go, but I'm not sure Freezer was ever released for region 1.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It was, as far as I could make out through my shock and horror, about a guy who is cheating with some chick, but then it turns out her husband is cheating on her--with a guy, then he (R. Kelley) calls home and a guy answers HIS phone, so he drives home in a rage. His girl is in the shower and tells her the guy who answered the phone was her brother. He is all happy and they start having sex, but just as she's about to have a climax (which is how is is put in the song "She said, "I am about to climax.'"), he gets a cramp in his leg and stops and gets out of bed and finds a rubber and is horrified.

I am not making this up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've never heard of it. Maybe I will have to see if it was released for Region 1 and add it to Netflix if so.

I don't think I know that song. I don't think I'm sad that I don't know that song.

I just checked bbcamericashop.com, and it looks like it's only been released in the UK.

It's a great series, though. Some of the footage for March of the Penguins was actually licensed from it.

Thrive to spite them

The R Kelly video sounds like badfic.

I'm pretending that all of Robin's recent posts read LA LA LA LA LA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And there are six parts to it! That shit is so bananas, it makes me not think about the R. Kelly-ness of it all.

I was channel surfing and came across the video and they had actors miming to the all the dialogue in the song. I thought it was a parody until the very end.

Oh, and speaking of bananas, while watching the Most Awesomely Bad Breakup songs this weekend, I heard for the first time, "Fuck It, I Don't Want You Back." HOW DID I MISS THIS SONG THE FIRST TIME?!?!
