Moofair!
Here is a really old picture I made in 2000 about the Minnesota State Fair.
It's essentially two cows wandering around the fair after their work shifts ended, enjoying a corndog and some coffee, and talking about that horrible poop smell that is everywhere, and one of them mentions what the smell is. It's people.

The Oldest Photoshop File I Could Find...
This is from when I was in high school. WAAAAYYYYYY back then.
I know it's lame, but I was just begining to use photoshop and was just dinking around.
A coworker just pointed out that file is actually ancient in terms of their youth. Those young bastards! I'm not even 30 yet! I made this before they were 12, it was half my lifetime ago dammit!

A Spork and a Glass Head
Here are two more random things I dug out of an old Zip Disk:
The first is a small portion of a 3d Max picture I made in 2000-2001 or so. It was the only part of the image I liked- so I cropped everything else, which amounted to roughly 90 percent of the total picture. It was an ad I made up about a horrible breakfast cereal i made up, involving the ingesting of mass quantities of something along the lines of "214% of your Daily Vitamin Sugar Intake!", and now has "More Fiber Than a Handful of Gravel!!!" It was pretty much an amazing idea that didn't look quite how I wanted it to, so I kept the part I liked and scrapped the crap.
The second is a photo of a glass head one of my friends had in his basement. I set it up and snapped a shot. This picture is from, I believe, 1997. It turned out all right.

Some Old Photos
I have been out of the loop for a while, and home computer-less, so I decided to search through some old files on disk at work on my breaks. So I have no new art, I cannot scan stuff, and have no way of digitally producing anything new, but... ...I found some old Photos I took with a crappy Sprint phone years ago.

Psych is the greatest show ever.
I think the title of this particular blog should actually be more than enough for readers... if they've seen Psych on the USA network. I currently believe Psych is the greatest show ever. At least right now. Besides, I should have posted this a long time ago to hopefully get more viewers to watch it and share my enthusiasm.
The newest season, 4th, started on Aug. 7th and I have already missed the first two episodes, which is what prompted me to put this post up. I am very much at a loss without cable to view this great show with. Luckily I have seasons 1 through 3 to watch repeatedly.
The show is about a guy named Shawn Spencer who has an uncanny ability to notice and remember immense amounts of tiny details with little effort. His lifetime of slackery and reliance on his gift get him into potential trouble with the police and he pretends to be a psychic to get out of trouble.
It works fabulously, and leads to him working his way into team playing with the police in the form of his new detective agency Psych. He works in tandem with his longtime friend Burton "Gus" Guster, who is more of a by-the-books level-headed guy.
The comedic duo are a great pair. Their ludicrous antics work even better when they are tag-teaming up on, or with, secondary characters like Shawn's father Henry(a former police officer that loves telling Shawn how stupid he is), and the dectectives Carl Lassiter and Juliet O'Hara. A great cast of well rounded personalities that work suprisingly well together even when the characters are butting heads.
Throughout the series they solve many mysteries of a variety of crimes with as much humor as possible. Tons of 80's references abound, and a bunch of previous-episode "in-jokes" done in a subtle but hilarious manner. So if you haven't seen the previous show, the joke still makes sense, but is THAT much more meaningful if you have.
A nice touch to the show is many episodes have themes throughout such as season 2's "Lights, Camera...Homicidio". Large parts of the it are done like a mexican day-time soap opera with a poor camera and cheesy dramatic acting. Another very notable, absurdly amazing episode is season 3's "Disco Didn't Die. It Was Murdered!" riffing off of 70's shows. The swanky music, their undercover 70's clothes, crazy jive dialog, and even a ridiculous suburban car chase scene. At one point Gus has a 70's swaggering walk caused by a faulty seat in an old car, and Shawn comments on about how sweet the tire-squealing spinning-car parking job by Gus would have been if it was done on purpose, not because the power steering was out.
There is also a horror camp movie episode, a high school reunion episode, and an American Idol-esque reality show episode! They take old preconceived silly cliches and stereotypical storylines and make them fresh and fun. Outrageous laughs even after multiple viewings because you may pick up on something small someone says, or some strange thing going on in the background that may have been missed earlier.
Also every episode has a pineapple somewhere in it. A fun small game to play while watching the show.
I absolutely LOVE this show and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Ancient Classics
I have the odd desire to start a petition for an audio book series of The Illiad and The Odyssey read by Homer... Simpson.
Come on people, how hilarious would that be? The voice of Homer Simpson reading the books, and adding his own little commentary and strange noises.
Epic battles, stories of runaway love, tales of old gods feuding, and mysterious fabled lands told in a way that only Mr. Simpson can. With all his own odd additions- drooling noises and Doh's would be absolutely necessary. Then again the series would end up being like 20 hours long... but TOTALLY worth it!

If it sold well someone could try to market a Peter Griffen reads the Eddas or the Bible or something.
