Blockbuster Ghost - A clever hoax or the real thing?

I’m often searching around on Youtube looking at various paranormal and ghost related videos. It’s something that’s always interested and fascinated me. I’m one of those many millions of people addicted to shows like Ghost Hunters.

Anywho, in my travels on Youtube, I came across this video which allegedly portrays a little haunting at a Blockbuster video store. The footage is shot from the security cameras. What do you think? Is it real?

I can think of ways that you could fake something like this, but if it is a hoax, they did a pretty nice job :)

Cat impersonates Christina Ricci

My friend Erin often sends me kitten pictures that she finds cute or amusing. The other night I received this one in my e-mail. Christina Ricci cat. I’d say it’s a pretty darn good likeness of her.

Christina Ricci look-a-like.

The actual Christina Ricci for comparison.

Somehow this slipped past me

One thing I really love is progressive rock/metal music. In particular my most favorite band is Dream Theater, who’ve been around since the late 80’s. Seeing them perform live when I lived in Houston was an experience I’ll never forget. They are some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever heard and seen. I never thought I’d hear any band that could compare with the kind of talent Dream Theater has, until I discovered a great band called Sun Caged about five years ago.

Since I first heard their debut self titled album in 2003, I was hooked. This was a band that easily harnessed talent comparable to Dream Theater. Their songs were just as complex, just as melodic and catchy and just simply amazing.

For the last few years now I’ve been waiting on a follow-up to Sun Caged’s first CD. I’d check their website occasionally to look for news, but it was never quite finished. Well somewhere along the way they did finally release their new CD, entitled Artemisia, last year and I managed to not even find out until just recently. Whoops.

After listening to the entire album, I had to immediately listen again. It’s just that good. In fact to my ears Artemisia is even more enjoyable than Dream Theater’s last CD, Systematic Chaos, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well.

If you’re a fan of progressive music, I highly recommend checking out Sun Caged’s Artemisia. You can listen to some samples of their music here, on their website, or you can visit their Myspace page to hear several streaming tracks.

Perhaps I should post again.

Wow, I guess I’ve sort of been neglecting the blogging thing for a while. Lately I haven’t been feeling so chatty, I suppose. Between a monster stiff neck the last couple days, the damn allergies and way too much Grifball, I’ve really lost a lot of time that I could have dedicated to this blog and my others.

I’ve also been watching a movie here and there. In fact one I watched recently has to be perhaps one of the most bizarre I’ve seen in a while. It was called Fido. It’s basically a cross between Leave it to Beaver, Lassie and pretty much any zombie movie. It was really quite funny. If you’ve been looking for something a little bit different, I’d suggest sticking Fido in your Netflix queue.

Anywho, what has everyone else been up to? Anything new and exciting?

The latest Dark Knight trailer

Here’s the latest trailed for The Dark Knight, the second Batman flick from director Christopher Nolan. According to my cousin, this trailer aired before Iron Man in the theater.

I’ve said it before, Christian Bale rocks as Batman. I’m guessing there won’t be another for a while.

It’s such a shame this is Heath Ledger’s final performance. It really appears he did a fantastic job as The Joker. I can hardly wait to see this film.
