Tim Minchin

This was sent to me during an internet annoyance that one might all an "IRC chat room". It is a good location to search for amusements and irritation at the same time.

Tim Minchin, is a London living self proclaimed nerd-rocker. His music/songs are well done and he plays the piano. This was one of my personal favorites along with related videos after the fact.

My only problem with these, and others, are they are live shows and live shows do not translate to well onto the internet. However, if he ever happens to be anywhere near my location I might give a listen in.

Shard's Photos

Who remembers Shard's Shard? If you do not, then check the link and come back. Excellent writing, yes?

While Shard is a well written individual she is also skilled with her camera. Now, on a personal note, I usually find the "art" of photography a bit of a cop out, so to speak, but I do honestly feel that Shard, and a couple others, do it rather well.

This image is well done, in my opinion. I rather like it and a good chunk of her photography. Check it out, no harm comes from doing as such.

Personal Flair (The Inhabitant)

Something of a slight personal amusement. A very short story, at least part of it, that I wrote awhile ago. Nothing grand but at least it is worth the read if you do not mind the vague imagery and slight line cross near the end.

The Inhabitant
Welcome to a room, a room with no true windows or even a door; a room that is slit on its walls to allow view to the outside, but not in, a tiny room with only one inhabitant. This room is really a cage and its one inhabitant has been inside it sense before its own creation. The inhabitant, within this caged room is a dirty foul thing. Covered in sores and boils, it is an inhuman creature, this inhabitant. The disgusting thing gurgles and burps as it tries to communicate with those around it, but the cage lets out no sound.

This story is not about the beast that remains in its cage, but rather the woman he watches. Each day, he stares out with his brown puss covered eyes to see a being of grace and beauty glides across the ground that can not be seen. It is if the woman can fly as her long gown of purples and blues runes along the ground. Long black hairs almost reaching the ground, the colors of her clothes seem unimportant to the steady blackness of her hair.

Once in a time, even her eyes and face can be seen. It is rare that the woman look toward the cage but, on occasion, it appears as if a glance is exchanged. The brown puss filled monster eyes meeting the deep black and southing of the woman's. It is heaven for the beast for only a second but it is enough to keep him calm inside the cage. The woman moves on, she has seen nothing.

The full story may be found here, on my deviantART.

Not Really A Game (Facade)

A game that is not really a game but, rather, a simulation of people noise. Noise, by my personal definition, is anything that can or will lead to an argument. However, the fun with this is that there are no real repercussions for causing strife for the couple.

You play, yourself, who is a long friend of the couple. Known them sense college but have not seen them sense. You are invited to a party, of sorts, that is being hosted in the couples apartment. Eventually they start to argue and sorta ask for help on how to fix their relationship.

My personal problem with the game is that it is delayed and a bit non-responsive. The "AI" isn't as suggested and the couple only responds to a few words and hardly in context. Good for about a day or two but worth the "lulz" if you are into that sort of thing.

Dexter's Ego Trip (Dexter's Lab Final)

Dexter's Lab was finally made into a full movie, which can be found online, with the subtitle of "Ego Trip". The general thought behind this is time travel and Dexter helping himself in several different time zones.

There is normal Dexter, teenage looser Dexter, awesome super human Dexter and Grandpa Dexter. The latter of those has to be the funniest and most memorable with quotes like the following.

"I'm not grandpa!" (In response to Dee Dee)
"Okay, Billy." (In response to teenage Dexter)

Another gad that gets run very well is the fact that Grandpa Dexter is stuck with his walker. Moving at a snails pace to everyone else sprints or runs. At one point, however, he does surprise everyone with something interesting but I will not spoil this.

Back To The Lab Again (Dexter's Labratory Cont)

While the show was popular it got it's fair share of attention and understanding but one of the most intriguing was a mild hip-hop song with the title "Back To The Lab Again". It would run, rather randomly, as a commercial or place filler on Cartoon Network.

It's a bit repetitive and can, like a couple posts back, get stuck in your head if you let it. While it may also not be "for everyone" it is rather "kiddy", but it's based on a cartoon so that can be given pass.

It's kinda cool, right?

Dexter's Laboratory

Dexter's Lab was one of the best shows on Cartoon Network for a long stretch of time. It was a very clever show written around, or about, a boy genius and his idiot family. This was with the exception of his mother who showed clear signs of herself being of sound intelligence but instead chose to apply herself differently.

The intro to the show was very well done. It was short, had a really good tune and was funny, at least the first time. It has Dee-Dee, Dester's sibling, doing her usual deal of invading the lab and messing with Dexter's head. In the end of it, she blinds him.

One of my personal favorite episodes was titled "Labels" but a search and find, without having to upload it oneself, has proved a bit fruitless. Actually, other then download, finding full episodes that have not been "pooped" is a chore in itself.

Not Silly Song!

Now we shall counterpart the annoyance I might have give you the past couple of days with an acquired taste. A personal favorite, here, at Solve Unamusement is Tool and one of their songs that is a favorite would be Ænema.

The song is a filled with a lot of rage, which is contradictory to most of what is on site, that describes the band's, or at least the song writer's, view of L.A. Personally, I feel it applies to a good majority of the U.S. or even the commercialized world.
