So I went to the Ostrich Ink staff meeting/kareoke night, which reminded me that I've been neglectful, dear readers, in mentioning that the new issue went up, and man, it's fantastic, recounting expeditions to a porn shoot, Mel Gibson's bunker church, a swingers party, and a screening of The Room. The thing I wrote about Mom and Dad, young in LA is a lot less porn-filled, in comparison.
Mentioned in passing last night: Super Mario Brothers Time Attack is a video clip of someone beating the original SMB in five minutes. I've watched it twice now. Truly awesome. (Muniz, you could probably get a column out of it.)
I think I found my perfect kareoke song, too. And that's good news.
