I’ve decided that I need more science-fiction in my life. With that said, I am announcing my enlistment in the Squawker army. Effective immediately, I will be posting the minutia of my penguin-y life whenever I feel like it.
Even if we don’t have the flying cars, or meals in pills, we can still have the all-encompassing invasion of privacy.
Last semester I wrote an academic paper on Alice in Wonderland, specifically about the internal logic of Wonderland as it related to Alice’s changes in size. Anyhoo, it seems that this work has not gone unnoticed. Do check out this letter I received in the e-mailbox today:
We were very pleased to have the opportunity to read your thoughtful and
original essay on Alice’s changes of size, which was sent to us by Prof.
Willard, and are interested in publishing it in the Knight Letter, which is
the magazine of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America (LCSNA), most
likely in either the Spring or Fall 2008 issue.
I’ll post again when there’s more to be said. Until then, O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Etc. Etc.
Hey guys, if you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, and have installed the latest firmware (you’ll know if you did, it cost $20), bookmark Penguinbros and put it on your Home Screen. You’ll see that it has a custom icon! Man! We are some of the first! Google don’t have one, Meebo doesn’t have one… HECK! APPLE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ONE YET! Just saying. We first.
I’m off to college tomorrow! Woop!
April Fools update! Ha! Got you there didn’t we? No? Oh well.
Frosty Village returns tomorrow – be there. Happy Passover!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO! Man, you’re 20. that is a lot of days you’ve been around. Roughly 7,300 days. I mean, leap-year and all. 7,300 actually doesn’t sound like a lot. Hrm. Well, that aside, you’re older than the Teen Titans, the Ninja Turtles, and just about every other hero I’ve had (Power Rangers). That’s a little scary, but it’s been a fantastic teens with you. And we can still share my teens, I still have a year and a half, little less actually… GAH! This is too much. 20 is old. You’re old. Kids don’t run Penguinbros.com now, now a young adult and a kid run it. You young adult you. Well happy birthday, and now to the update:
A new game. Not just any game, this one is for you, Purple. It’s called cake run; in it, you run on a cake. Just play and try it out. I threw it together, you’ll have another present coming during our next break, midterms made it tough to get the supplies I needed to make it. Hope you dig the game!
Love, Red
Okay, to celebrate this magical Residents week (only six more days until the screening and my birthday!!), here are some cool “Res” updates. First off, we got written up in the Walt Street Journal Online because of our Residents video submission! The article is viewable here, but this link may expire in a week (the WSJ is for paid members, you know), so that happens I’ll provide an archived version of the article… but until then this link should suffice.
EDIT: The link has indeed become unavailable for non-subscribers. I have archived the article here for your convenience.
The second Residents themed update is this week’s antiART. Before I post it, I should probably mention where it’s sourced from. In 2004, Red Penguin and I were commissioned to do a one minute music video for The Residents for their Commercial DVD. The video, which we’ve never made available until now out of respect for the band, is called Secrets.
So if you seen the video by now, you may recognize this image of the “Spider City.” It’s the cityscape backdrop in second shot featuring the spider towards the end. I’d post the other backdrop, but Red made that one and I don’t know how he’d take to that (maybe I should ask?)
We’ve reached the end of it, but it’s only just beginning! Stay Tuned!
No Frosty Village this week… Unless I can find the time.
IT’S PURPLE PENGUIN TIME. Well I have some good news and some bad news. It looks like the Flintlocked project is being put on indefinite hold. This is really disappointing to me because it was something that I really wanted to see to the end. In the likely event that this occurs, I’ll make available the (whopping) ten or so songs I wrote for the project.
Until then, I only have one Stereotypical song for you, the feel-good-feel-bad hit of the Finals Week: Born, Loser.
Oh yeah, the good news? I almost forgot. Actually, I did forget, sorry 
Yeah, F.V. is going to be done later this week. I had too much homework this weekend. >_<
Sowwy!
