Time Wasters
All right, I swore I wouldn’t say this, but I must: sorry I haven’t posted in so long. Ack. There, it’s out.
To make up for it, here are some time wasting links:
Donnie Davies: Matt turned me on to this last week. If I was a good little blogger I would have posted it immediately, but I am not. By now, you’ve probably seen it. Here’s the synopsis: dude records a song called “God Hates Fags.” A web search reveals that he has a few different websites promoting his “C.H.O.P.S.” program (Changing Homosexuals into Ordinary People) and his “Love God’s Way” ministry. Seemingly, however, the dude didn’t exist before last week.
I assumed it was some kind of marketing thing, but the Internets are still abuzz with people who think it’s real. You can judge for yourself. Start at the bottom of the link above and work your way up. To me, his acting, dialogue, and writings seem more stilted than a Christopher Guest character, but maybe you’ll have a different opinion.
8th Graders do OK Go: This warms my heart.
Greg Kotis in LA Times: This is the best thing I’ve read about writing, maybe ever, by the guy who created Urinetown. I cut this article out of the newspaper so that I can save it for posterity. That’s a lie. I didn’t cut it out yet. I did save it from recycling, though, which should count for something.

Man, if only I’d had the Internet in eighth grade. Also, kinda equally impressive that they were able to get four treadmills on stage in their auditorium.
