Tuesday Tidbits

Zach Galifinakis playing lil Orphan Annie on SNL ! I think red is his color!
I really admire Zach Galifinakis (dare you to say that three times fast!) He is not afraid to look like a fool in his comedy routines, but never uses crude language! He plays a man-child in every movie but in interviews is very articulate. He has never been shy to state his opinion on current events or celebrity scandals ! It is alleged that he was against Mel Gibson having a cameo in Hangover 2 and in the Conan O'Brien video below, he talks smack about Trump! I agree with everything he says. I think his best role after his breakout success in the Hangover is the underrated HBO show Bored to Death. The trio of Ted Danson, Jason Schwartzman,and him are funnier than the Three Stooges ever were !

enjoy the above video of Danson (George) and Zach (Ray) getting very high while they are on a stakeout!

Internet Caps

I would completely get rid of the basic cable and just watch everything online if I had 250gb bandwidth! I only have 95 gb for 55 a month now! I guess that's what Rogers Cable and Bell are afraid of ! Most families would still pay for cable as they like sports and movies on the big screen.  I have Netflix but can only watch it every other night and I have a premium TV membership on http://www.videobb.com that has every show I want from the US to the UK in hi -def but have to decide which shows I really want to watch. If there was more competition here, would be better for the consumer! I like Rogers better than Bell, before Rogers came to Barrie, Bell  had a monopoly for years! I may move to the US or UK for a job and although I love the health care here, would love nicer winters and NO geo-restrictions on Youtube or Hulu.

  1. Zach is becoming one of my on-screen favorites. He just goes for it. And I like his standards, too.

  2. i was blown away when i first heard about internet caps. i recall activating an internet card and when the bill arrived my wife was in tears. Our internet bill was a little over 7000.00, yes you read correctly 7000.00. i called the provider and said there must be some mistake and when they looked at my account they must have noticed how many lines i had on the account and basically said they would forgive the amount this one time but that i had 2 gig cap. Well that just wasn't good enough because i had 2 active cards that were grandfathered and unlimited.. i mentioned that to the technician and he was able to push a button or two and viola.. i had unlimited.. it just bugs me as a consumer that att and verizon would roll out with that. I know that CEOs, VPs, BODs see nothing but dollar signs with this business decision. im way behind the tech curve but i think that charging for speed rather than data would have been a better idea. and i was doing cartwheels when att threw in an extra 2 gigs per month because i have the tethering plan, but for the extra 15.00 i pay per month..C'mon they can make it unlimited.. im done
