Le Ballon Bleu

Man, did you see that thing with the guy who yelled and stuff, and then the other guy did it, and then the other guy, he's like, "What a Jackass," and she's like, "Oh yea? How do you like this tennis ball up your ass?" and that little sissy runs over and tells on her! What a douche!

And poor Bill! Someone's like totally going for his throat and shit. Speaking of Andy, he'll always be Frank Sobotka to me.

Did you see The Flaming Lips on Colbert?

What's that you said? 14 young hookers? Just claim them as dependents!

A guy up the road killed a burglar with a samurai sword. I don't want to sound cold, but how do you say awesome in Japanese?

The show "Community" starts today. It's starring my boyfriend.

In other news, my baby had his first taste of Blue Bunny "Champ" ice cream, which means everything from now on will be a disappointment.

And finally, here's a short video from Hampden Fest (hint: this video is a metaphor for life! I just haven't decided in what way yet):


Happy New Year, Jews!

I have been waiting all summer for Community!

Jeaux said...

For me it was strawberry shortcake. The standard by which all else is measured, most of it disappointing. Keeps you hungry. No matter how much strawberry shortcake you end up in a position to acquire. It’s not the strawberry shortcake, is it. It was the blue balloon all along.

Community looks to be my favorite new show this year. I mean, it's Chevy Chase, fercryinoutloud.

SJ said...

Let me get that for you. The blue balloon is desire itself. You can hold on to it only for so long. You will either lose it or will get tired of it.

Are you missing some thunder?

Lirun said...

yeah happy happy happy little us :)

kyoutendouchi = amazing.

People in the Sun said...

Monique, it was good, right? I thought it was maybe a little to smart and quick for its own good, but I'm definitely watching next week.

Jeaux, [boom] <-- That was my brain just now.

CaraBee, AND MY BOYFRIEND, JOEL!

SJ, where you at least wearing a night gown and smoking a pipe when you said that?

Lirun, apparently it's also Talk Like a Pirate day here. Really, the new year should always have something extra like that. Apple dipped in Honey doesn't do it for me anymore.

People in the Sun said...

Oh, and arigato, Dave-san.

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

That video is just too cute to bear! Way too cute, how can you stand it?!?! My favorite is the part where he backs away a little from the dancing boy plowing past him.

Happy new year!

A Free Man said...

Every time my boy loses a balloon, which is every time he gets one, he mourns for like weeks. Days later he'll point to the sky and say, mournfully, "Bloon. Gone."

Blues said...

What would I do without you to update me on my country's happenings?

Feliz año nuevo.

Faiqa said...

Best recap ever. I was all set to pontificate on the meaning of the video until the "You lie" part. I was laughing too hard to come up with anything.

Ah, perhaps a commentary on the way in which political demagoguery destroys our ability to analyze and make sense of even the simplest of events? And the balloon is Kanye? Or is it Beyonce? Or Barack?

Brilliant, my friend. See *you* at Sundance.

who's cute? not the samurai sword.
why are you feeding that child ice cream? you are asking for ADHD, asking for it.

People in the Sun said...

Jill, thanks. Did you see that kid goes back to comfort him at the end? That whole thing was a little too cute.

Freeman, no... So sad... We just quickly distracted him. It worked this time.

Blues, añd the same to you!

Faiqa, if I wanted to go on Sundance the movie would have starred me. I'm going all the way to Hollywood with this guy.

Anonymous, I'm not anti-link here. Include a link if you're going to accuse me of destroying my son's future.

Ricardo said...

Happy belated New Year. I'm donning s shtreimel to ready myself for Yom Kippur.

There are definitely metaphors in this video. BIG TIME!!! You must now verbalize it in blog form.

Beachdiary said...

gmar hatima tova, dude :)

Jill/Twipply Skwood said...

Oh no, I didn't realize that his return was for comfort. Every time I see your video, I want another baby. So then I have to go over to A Free Man's blog to remember the whole nightmare of the lack of sleep. And then I have to reread my own blog to remember I've barely survived the past two weeks of teenage girl...

But maybe I could just have one little boy. Just small one, who sleeps through the night before age four. Surely I'm not asking for so very much...

Sebastien said...

Happy new year (sorry I'm a little late)...

That video was awesome. Le ballon bleu représente la salvation de l'humanité?

Your son is sooo adorable.

I heard about this tax attorney who tried to claim that his payments to hookers were write-offs because it counted as therapy :) The IRS called his bluff.

People in the Sun said...

Ricardo, hope you didn't have a shofar-related accident. We've lost too many good people who just couldn't handle the dead ram.

Beachdiary, thank you. And a happy Succot(?) to you.

Jill, I think that's what it was. The older kid seems to lean forward to see if Liam was okay. Toddlers are cute. But mark my words: NO MORE BABIES FOR ME! (maybe one more. But THAT'S IT).

Sebastien, wait, really? About the balloon, I mean. I mean, about The Red Balloon. I'm not good with metaphors. But was that the point of the story? Oh. Maybe the movie makes sense after all.
