So, this is going well.

Because they didn’t have the time/money to multrack a vocals/piano session, all sound was recorded and mixed live.

If you wanted to recreate the artery and waistline pounding excess of a large Triple Thick Shake, you’d pretty much have to take a stick of butter, pour 80 Pixie Stix on it, and hit it with a salt shaker before eating the mountain in front of you with a spoon.

I think there’s something wrong with me. Please comfort me by reblogging with movies that made people think you’re a robot. After that, we can hang out and laugh about Bambi’s mother.

I just finished Big Bang Theory
Despite the persistant laugh-track (what, is this 1993?), I loved both seasons. If you are a big fat nerd tumblr user, I think you’ll like it too.
Without Leonard and Sheldon, I’m looking at some very lonely breakfasts. What television series do I need to binge on now?

Something to think about: 'District 9' vs. 'GI.Joe...
danhacker:
‘GI.Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ was made on a budget of 175 Million dollars, meanwhile ‘District 9’ was made on a 30 Million dollar budget. ‘District 9’ was a superior film across the board on every single level of filmmaking. Throwing exorbitant amounts of cash at something doesn’t mean the end product will be a better one. Hollywood still has yet to figure this out.

Last night, I discovered the powers of the mixer at the studio. I pushed those sliders like I was a bulimic at White Castle. It never gets old.
