Now it's time for episode 3!

Episode 3 of Said & Undone is now online. Click here to watch parts one and two. Episode four will be delayed another week (I'm praying to God that it only is one more week). Peace out, everyone.

Episode 2 is online!

I can't think of any puns to go with that title. Anyway, Episode 2 of "Said & Undone" is now online. Once again, the Spectacular John Wooden (yes, I do intend to use a new adjective every time I mention our editor) had to split the show into two parts due to YouTube's ten minute time limit. Click here to go to the playlist. I hope you enjoy it; this is one of my favorite episodes (it's a tie between episodes 2 and 3).

Now that that's out of the way, can someone explain to me why it snowed in Atlanta yesterday? Since when does it snow in Atlanta four times in one year? More importantly, since when does it ever snow in Atlanta in March? I might need to do a little bit of explaining for my Northern friends. While I know that it's not entirely unheard of to experience small flurries this time of year in the North, this never happens in the South. With the exception of Florida (and Washington state, depending on your point of view), Georgia is just about as close as you can get to a tropical environment in the continental United States. It's pretty rare to see snow in December or January, let alone late March. Then this happens, and my entire world just goes spinning!

I've decided that I have a new view on worldwide climate change. I no longer believe in global warming. I have formed a radical new theory called "global getting high." While Al Gore might tell you that carbon emissions are trapping solar heat radiation in the atmosphere, my theory states that Mother Nature is sitting up on a cloud somewhere, getting high off our exhaust fumes. She's gotten so tripped out at this point that she's causing all these crazy anomalies in our weather. Atlanta's flurry was a result of her getting the munchies and wanting a snow cone.

My most immature post yet!

Carol and I went to Starcadia, a local arcade and mini-golf course in Macon, a few weeks ago. While we were there, I thought I'd try my hand at one of the crane games (you know, that game where you lower a claw into a class box full of stuffed animals and don't win one). To my shock and awe, I got three toys for the price of one! I can only assume that the planets were all aligned at that exact moment, because with one quarter I was able to pick up a teddy bear, a Batman doll, and a stuffed Freddy from "Scooby-Doo" simultaneously. I gave the bear to Carol, but she wasn't interested in the other toys. That left me with Fred and Batman. So what does a grown man with dolls do? He plays kitchen with them, of course. So without further ado, I present what is likely to be the next big web sensation!

On second thought, maybe this wasn't such a great idea. I need to get outside more often.

The Pilot is Online

While that's something you never want to hear while riding an airplane, it's good news for us on the Said & Undone crew. The Astounding John Wooden split Episode 1 into two parts due to YouTube's ten-minute video time limit. Both parts can be viewed at the following links:

Said & Undone Episode 1.1
Said & Undone Episode 1.2

I'll admit that this episode moves a little slowly, but it's necessary to get things started. Things really pick up in Episode 2, and I'll let you know when it's posted. You'll get to meet the whole cast of characters and begin to understand just how Charlie/Jake and Bobby's show began falling apart.

Thanks to everyone who has been working their tails off to make this series possible.

On the air in 5...

The show made its debut earlier today. I'm not sure exactly what time it was; I might have been asleep. Depending how things go, we might be uploading older episodes to MERCER99's new YouTube channel. The second episode is set to air Friday, which means we have a heck of a lot of work to do for the third and fourth episodes.

In other news, I managed to get my greedy little hands on a copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which is perhaps the most sought-after title for Nintendo's Wii. I strolled into Target yesterday morning, and the price tag wasn't even on the display yet. The cashier put the tag up right after I asked for the game, and soon I was in my apartment with a title that is sure to be sold out for a couple of weeks.

For those of you who don't have the latest Smash Bros. title, allow me to take this opportunity to rub it in your faces. This game is awesome. It's the first in the series to use characters not licensed by Nintendo (in this case Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog). With all-new powers and items, the game is more chaotic and fun than ever. Have you ever seen Solid Snake breathe fire while brandishing a lightsabre? I didn't think so. There are only three things more awesome than that:

• Finding a free onion ring in your french fries
  
• Winning the lottery
  
• Getting a high-five from Jesus

Yeah, so I'm going to have to control myself if I hope to get anything productive done this week.

So my school begins its spring break today (though everyone left campus over the weekend), which means I get a week of what I like to call, "productive nothingness." Productive nothingness is where I spend a lot of time in my room with my homework in front of me while watching cartoons and reading old "Dilbert" comics. That way it seems like I'm being productive for hours on end, while not actually accomplishing anything. I also get tons of ideas for flash animations, blog posts, and scripts for my TV show, which also make no progress. It's great, because I set no real goals during my vacations, so my self-disappointment is kept to a minimum. At the end of the break, I feel like I've accomplished something, but never needed to put forth any effort.

Here's a great example of productive nothingness: In a feeble attempt to establish a greater web presence, I've registered the domain www.jimboroni.com. It involves technology and cost ten dollars, so it must have some sort of significance. Nothing's really changed about the way I do things here. I've got a few plans, most of which will probably never reach fruition, but, you know, we'll see how it goes.

See you next week, and happy spring break to all! If you're not on spring break yet, just visit this page again when you are.
