A girl who calls herself Blair, who makes videos all about making yourself look pretty, made this video on how to give yourself a manicure. For some reason I’ve recently been wondering how manicures are done at the nail shops.

Blair is the brunette version of Legally Blonde on YouTube. Thanks to Blair I now know how to give myself a manicure, although I’ll never actually get or give myself one, but maybe you will.

Another vampire movie hits theaters on October 23 just before Halloween. This one is called Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, starring John C. Reilly, Willem Dafoe, Jane Krakowski, Ken Watanabe, and Salma Hayek.

The movie is based on the first three books in The Saga of Darren Shan, and it looks really good. Part of the appeal for me are a combination of a good storyline, cool special effects, humor, and good acting.

There are a lot of good movies coming out before the end of the year, including a special animated movie that John C. Reilly does voice work in called 9, and hits theaters on 9-9-2009. Good timing. 9 has bit of a dark story to tell, so it’s not likely to draw big crowds since people are preferring upbeat movies at this point in time.

I was in the theater a few months ago when I saw a preview trailer for the movie Astro Boy. I’m not sure if this will be a blockbuster, but it looks like a good family movie.

Astro Boy is kind of like Pinocchio, except he doesn’t want to be a real boy, because being a robot is way cooler.

Astro Boy hits theaters on October 23, 2009.

Here’s a video for Choo Choo la Rouge’s song Here Come the Guns from the album Black Clouds, available August 18th 2009 on Kiam records.

The music video was made by Greg Condon with drawings on flip pads (aka stick note pads).

This is a southern rent to own store called Bobby Denning Furniture that was made to target the local audience. Get ready for a culture shock, unless you live near a Bobby Denning Furniture store.

A few lines I liked:

"If it can be sold legally, we sell it."

"Did ya get a DWI? We’ve got scooters."

Take not Hollywood starlets.
