My friend Korey

I have a great friend who is an animator that I have known since I was 18 years old. A tall lovely drink of chocolate muscle (hi Korey!), he is quite a funny and creative human being.

He has a show on cable access called The Reel Deal that he hosts with a few friends every Wednesday nights at 10pm. Check out some of his animation and some of the past newsletters for the show. The show has been on for several years (maybe 5) and they always get great write-ups in the Austin Chronicle.

He was just FREAKING out about 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and now he's freaking about Spider-Man 2. Babe, I love you but you need to calm down before you pop a vein. He had very strong feelings about 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and I'm sure I'll check it out this next weekend. Bush is such a putz. And the guy from 'Napoleon Dynamite' has a really messed up mouth. It almost doesn't look real - freaky.

Here's a bit of Spam-trailer wisdom

So take a look at this one and see if you can feel the pattern.

Many of the most recent spams that I have received have had these long sentences. Previously they were usually strings of aparently unrelated words. They are getting smarter. Here is another one:

Oooohoo, deep.

My new Binoculars

My favorite radio station KLBJ was doing a contest for the show "24" during Spring Sweeps. If you answered a trivia question correctly you would win a set of Bushnell Image View binoculars. Of course I won them because I watch a ridiculous amount of TV.

Richard Linklater is filming his new movie, A Scanner Darkly, right now and one of the sets is right ouside my office window. Well, it's 4 blocks away and I'm on the 11th floor, but I'm still getting a 40-hour-a-week view of the set. Today is the first day they've had any "talent" on the set. And how do I know that? My new binoculars! My whole office is stopping by periodically to take a look and they are all quite jealous. (haha) It's been raining all day and most of the set is outside so I doubt they've gotten much done today.

UberShauna is an UberGeek

Yes, I've finally attained the ultimate in Geek status and I must now share my thoughts with the world. I know that's a pretentious way to start, but the name of this blog is 'UberShauna' after all.

I've got some great things coming up for y'all. One of the main things I want to share is my collection of 'Spam-trailers', at least that's what I like to call them. These are those increasingly odd strings of weird words and garbled phrases that we see at the end of spam messages. They used to be light grey or white so you were unable to read them but now they're written in normal black and they get stranger every day.

For around 3 months I have been saving these messages and I'm beginning to think that there is a cosmic pattern there. Some of them are full jokes or parts of books but sometimes I think there is a hidden message if we can only reveal the pattern. I'll start posting my favorites and you can tell me what you think. Try reading them aloud.
