Links: 2006 edition
Yeah, OK, so I'm working on more entries. I have too much of an essay mentality on here. It's probably poor taste for me to post my answers for the contracts and civil procedure exams on the web, right?
Anyway, here are some links to bide the time:
"Lazy Sunday" - this is, hands down, the funniest thing I saw all year, and the funniest thing on SNL in the past five years at least. It's one of those videos that where you miss a lot the first time because you're laughing too much. I can't stop watching this clip, and it's starting to scare me.
Chappelle Theory - I am a natural sucker for this one, since I love conspiracy theories and anything with the "_____ Theory" format. (Groove Theory? Excellent. Ewing Theory? Insightful!) This one alleges that African-American leaders organized to shut down Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central. There are all the classic elements of a conspiracy theory: assuming that people in power have their fingers in literally everything that happens, taking a casual approach to grammar, taking an even more casual approach to sourcing, and my favorite, going on over and over without any coherent structure. Do I buy the argument? On the record, no. Off the record, not really. But I love conspiracy theories, and it's a solid tour through the history of Chappelle's Show and black leaders in America. Good times. Can't we just get the show back?
Here are my two favorite Penny Arcade posts.
Finally, I buckled and got an account on MySpace, if you're into that sort of thing. God, I'm such a dork on breaks. Do I have any other interests?

OMG, thank you for Lazy Sunday. I had heard about it but not seen it yet. That rocked.

Uh, Terry, I think there may be a side to you I don't know about.

I have the same problem with essay-esque writing on my blog... I don't know how to shake it, though. Maybe my brain just thinks in essays, or rather, my brain thinks in snappy one-liners, but my fingers refuse to write them!
