sailorstkwrningRyan: Not a lot of cultural stuff, this week, really. He shared his odd dream(s), talked about shooting spiders, did some chores, watched some TV, and then came to New York to continue to shenanigate with Alex Greenwald. (And then promptly got sick and retired to bed (or couch) with Rodney Dangerfield movies for company.) He did share a link that revealed that the dude from the YouTube video Brendon was watching two weeks ago (I think) now has his own movie, Winnebago Man, which has been making the rounds at festivals, but that was kind of it.
Brendon: I've come to the conclusion that a busy, chattering Brendon is a happy Brendon. This week he watched a bunch of movies ranging from Grease to Brazil to Kindergarten Cop, as well as some tv (The Soup, Community). Outside of the Oklahoma! video, his musical selections were kind of hard to pin down; I searched for the songs based on the lyric fragments he posted, but I couldn't find much of anything. So either he was making up his own "sample" lyrics, or the artists in question don't have a web presence. (I'm voting for door no. 1.) He also shared one of his dreams and went on a minor tangent about Paul Reubens/Pee Wee Herman being busted in an adult theater. ("what the hell else are you supposed to do in an adult theater? take notes?" ahahaHAHAHAHHAhahahahaha, oh, Brendon, how much do I love you? Kind of a lot.)
Spencer: Again very quiet, popping up only to promote TAI . . .'s new single, troll a friend with a link to a Huffington Post story about Jon Gosselin, and, in conversation with a different friend, share a puzzling quote about David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. I searched but I can't find the source; if anyone recognizes it, please let me know.
I was particularly struck (interested by?) in this reference as in 1993, I was 18 and going off to college; Spencer was 6. [Ed note: Jesus Christ, I'm old. Anyway . . .] Remember, too, that the standoff at Ruby Ridge (1992) was still reasonably fresh in the national memory at the time. It was, I guess, a time when armed standoffs looked like they might be getting to be a trend.
Jon: Also fairly quiet; he noted the occasion of the autumn equinox is a roundabout sort of way, referenced black hole theory for the second time (Jon Walker: secret physics nerd?), shared a picture of one of his cats, and quoted a Wet Wet Wet song.
