Tribute to Otis

Okay, so we missed those april/march deadlines.

But we have a good excuse - we're graduating!!! So, actual comic strips will be soon forthcoming.

In the meantime, I've been studying while listening to this awesome cover. Check it out!

spring breakin boogaloo

i feel obligated to explain a recent lack of posts - this video of fan adoration at a washington wizards game should explain it all.


It was McGee! - Rizzy Ref

explanation given: it was spring break for the readyandset crew!*

as we ambitiously tried to work day in and day out to try and start to provide you some in-office/at work browsing entertainment, we got sidetracked by road trips to atlantic city and to dc for a wizards game. debauchery ensued in straight sets (and apparently we also were reading dictionaries to improve our vocab - bad pun)

we still are striving for more content to include but need you, YES YOU, our loyal followers to help us brainstorm scene specific stuff of what you would like to see! so we'd like to start with a very easy brainstorming game of word association. we're going to post a phrase and then you to look around and pick 3 objects close to you and put them in context with that word. sound confusing? well, here's the phrase and 3 examples from yours truly.

Phrase: Violence in the workplace

Objects:

1. Scissors - for fencing style combat a la Errol Flynn style
2. A circle made of rolling office chairs - an arena for a battle royale
3. Post IT note pads - instant ninja star death

So you get the idea right? So get to commenting and we'll get to facilitating your great ideas! if we do use your idea, we promise to list you in credits. pinky promise.


* btw, the player featured is also Javale McGee - a Wizards rookie who's supposed to be the next Channing Frye. which might not be a good thing to be Javale McGee

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

To all of ReadyandSet's faithful followers:

We are sorry to report that our first goal of having a comic strip/storyboard by the end of February will not be happening until late March (hopefully). The ReadyandSet team has been diligently trying to piece together our ideaphile personalities (and remember to write or record some of these ideas when not in "questionable" states of mind) and finish our undergraduate careers at our respective universities. But anyways, to be proactive and motivate our lazy asses, here's a list of some things to expect in the coming weeks:

1. First comic strip (WE PROMISE!) by end of March. with a bona-fide guest illustrator!
   
2. A peek into how our group brainstorming process works! check out our iMeem player for updates!
3. an actual logo for us? ideas are welcome!

So yeah - lofty goals eh? We don't think so - the lower our goals are, the more we won't be dissapointed later - we like to strive for mediorce-tion.

In the mean time, please enjoy an awesome clip from Flight of the Conchords - R&B style.

All Hail the King!

I am a very big Late Night with Conan O'Brien fan. I remember staying awake even though i had school at 7 am to catch some classic late night moments (Andy Richter being fake-shot in his classic sidekick chair, the introduction of the string dance, and the coining of "Settle down my babies!"). So in honor of the last week of Late Night before his new gig taking over for Leno, below is a clip from last night's show about immortalizing a classic (and one of my favorite) characters.

Warning: this clip is not for those with reservations. but definitely for any star wars fan.

p.s. keep listening to the mix to the right! i wonder if I should start to include songs I'm currently listening to on this..hmm.

Office Space Jam Party

To the right for your enjoyment, an exclusive session from Corporate America. Props to Mike Rizzy for the upload!

btw - Netflix on your xbox is the shiznit.

black mamba kicks

when i get to work in the morning, i have my daily routine of what websites i check out before i actually start working (pending 830am meetings, which never make sense to me). gmail, vcu stuff, cnn, mikerizzy, monpetitchaton, vbtodc, marinel's, pretty ricky (whose blog has thank goodness resurrected!) and whatever else i want to tab browse. but what caught me today was on hypebeast. after seeing a crazy simpsons painting, i run into this animated movie about onitsuka tiger shoes. crazy concept on how the years of the chinese zodiac were chosen. check check it out.

Big things poppin

Wonderful weekend. I didn't do anything related to work, school, or cartoon endeavors. Saw a show, drank a little, slept, ate. Perfectly enjoyable.
