It’s like twice as close as the other place! … or… half as far?

OH* on the streets of San Francisco. Which is also the title of a great 70s TV show starring Michael Douglas.

*OH is how twitter people have been saying “overheard” lately and I can OH with the best of them. Same goes for HO.

It’s Our Cross to Polar Bear
This is going to be my new thing! Instead of plain old, “it’s my cross to bear,” now it’s going to be, “it’s my cross to POLAR bear!” Huzzah!
It’s perfect! Because like the polar bears are all threatened with extinction because humans can’t get their shit together. So it’s like, polar bears got some PROBLEMS. So if you are polar-bearing a cross, that’s the real deal.
It’s ok, hang in there buddy!

UPDATE! This was supposed to be on the 2 peas in a bucket blog NOT You Talk Funny. OY! What a tangled web we weave when first learning to multi-blog. But we can connect this to language—why do they sing in English? I assume it’s just so they can be more marketable, right? When I was watching it earlier I was thinking like were they first famous around Sweden? And if so did they just sing in Swedish or did they sing in English then too? I remember when my (Colombian-born) sister-in-law was totally hating on Shakira when she started doing songs in English. Anytime I like a Shakira song, she’s all like “You should hear the Spanish version. Better.” And I’m all like, “HATER.”

In conclusion,

I love swedish chicks!

F is for Fail: An Alphabetical Odyssey Through the Creative Process

F is for Fail is a short film about the creative process, and the failure we always encounter, but usually overcome. Told using the alphabet, each letter informs us of the state of the protagonist’s creativity/state of mind. Each letter has two words associated with it (except A and Z); sometimes the positive word overpowers the negative word, and vice-versa.
