Once, "Unfinished Business or the Fourth Street Blues." Later "Plan Z." And yet still, "Slightly country but slightly modern, like Wilco in designer clothes."
-D.R.A
So a slight alteration of plans and the resurrection of my internet connection have allowed me to continue to blog for the time being.
I'm finally caught up with Facebook and have quite the selection of posted items and link to share with you this week. From funny to awesome, and even awesome-funny, here's the latest...
Listen to Joe Pug!
So, I interviewed Joe Pug last week. This week, he posted an interview with Billboard to his Facebook profile. Using By the transitive property, I think it's safe to say that I have the credentials to work for Billboard. Congrats Joe, and keep the good stuff comin!
Love the shoutout to Champaign! My interview with Joe will appear on Heave! sometime next week.
Our President is so cool
My second favorite Polak (Adam Wawsczczak) shared this pic from College Humor with my first favorite Polak (Mike Wawsczczak) on Facebook early this week.
The ladies go crazy for my Sugar Lumps
From episode two of the second season, here is a badass FOTC video my cousin Julie shared. I just love how many people are getting into this show. If you haven't watched it yet, I probably can't be your friend. Enjoy, "Sugar Lumps"
If you like vomiting...
...you might enjoy Tinted Windows. This is so godawful! As if Supergroups don't have a bad enough reputation as is. I'd rather shove sharp objects in my ears than hear this song EVER again!
Not sure what it is about this little girl and her kitten book, but it gets funnier every time. Thanks to Jenny for pointing this one out and Brittany for posting it.
So I came up with this pretty cool acronym and weekly blog entry to go along with it. PILFS (Posted Items, Links and Funny Shit) of the week will feature videos, blog entries, pictures, notes, and random other humorous and/or crazy stuff from around the intraweb. I'm trying to stick with stuff my friends/followers have posted from Facebook, youtube, Digg, twitter, etc. but pretty much anything I deem noteworthy will be shared.
Without further ado, the PILFS of the week for February 9-15, 2009:
Who doesn't want a Snuggie? After seeing this dubbed over version of the ever-popular infomercial, I'll be sure to pick up one of each flavor!
Thanks to Chris Davies (author of one of my new favorite blogs, Fish Mustache) for posting this one via Facebook.
Here is another one from Chris of Fish Mustache (the blog that now features capital letters!) God, what a stud!
Here is one of my new favorite things in general. If you have been keeping up with the blog, you probably caught the first installment of "Conversation with Adam and Allen" (compliments of Adam Bauer via Facebook). Hot from the FB Newsfeed, here is the Valentine's Day edition of "Conversations..."

UPDATE: Bad news Allen, Brad just found out. Taco Tuesday will never be the same.
I may or may not have previously posted this pic from Val Deatherage... It's worth another look anyhow.
So, here is a notable news story shared by Noah Curtis. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1422442,chicago-miserable-city-forbes-021009.article I can pretty much say I hate Forbes after reading this, but I liked Noah's comment better:
I'm finding this Forbes editor and I'm gonna... treat him to a nice time around the city come May. We're gonna have a Ferris Bueller Day.
And finally, something I found on Digg. With one week left before Conan O'Brien leaves Late Night to take over Jay Leno's spot, the question remains: Is the 'Tonight Show' audience ready for this?
Hope you all enjoyed the first edition of PILFS. LEt me know what you think, and keep the good stuff coming!
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. -S.P.
