So, I was curious about his number one hits. I did not know that Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson had collaborated on a number one hit (hey, it happened before I was born). They had a falling out afterwards when MJ bought the catalog of McCartney's songs. In any case, "Say, Say, Say" is quite a good song!
When I first joined LJ, people would do all these sorts of quizzes and put them under cuts (What does your birthday say about you? What breed of cat are you? Which Star Wars character are you? etc). It would annoy a few people who used their LJ for actual posts. Now the quiz momentum has reached fever pitch on Facebook, and it's the perfect place for it.
Although, there are now people on FB who complain about the constant streams of quizzes showing up in their newsfeeds (for every one they hide, five more show up in its place). I don't mind too much, since the scroll wheel on my mouse still works. Besides, I'm guilty of posting tons of quizzes (which in turn, infests my newsfeed with tons of quizzes).
I'm beginning to wonder if Twitter has reached that status on LJ. To sum up the mindset, it's something like "Leave your Twitter updates on FB or whatever, but let your LJ comprise of actual posts." In other words, if your entire journal consists of Twitter updates, shouldn't you reconsider your LJ or move it to Facebook? Personally, I don't mind but I prefer paragraphs (although when in skimming mode I skip over Tweets completely). Then again, variety is the spice of life.
Conveniently, I know a video has reached Internet sensation status when it's posted by different people on both my LJ reading list and my FB news feed. Without further adieu, stop motion with wolf and pig...

Incredible version of I Dreamed a Dream
Apr. 16th, 2009 10:57 amThis is probably old news to some of you, but I just saw this on my Facebook news feed. A 47 year old woman, Susan Boyle, got up in front of Simon Cowell and others on Britain's got talent. Her version of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserable could bring a tear to your eye. Embedding has been disabled by request and it's seven minutes long, but seven minutes worth seeing!

My friend
renough made this video last year for a 24-hour film competition. Needs some redubbing but otherwise very nice. Oh, he's the one playing the guitar if you're curious. Check it out!
Please check this video out!
Apr. 12th, 2009 06:04 amOne of my college buddies,
renough, made a video for a contest. He's the guy who made this Final Fantasy Bard icon playing the piano. It's only three minutes long and well made. Please check it out!

"Thriller" Phillipines video
Aug. 16th, 2007 05:58 amOn an administrative note, I'm leaving in two hours for a wedding in Minneapolis, so I won't be around LJ until Monday. So I leave you with this awesome video, tip of the hat to
