Nicholas Brendon audioblog updates Sept. 27, 2009
Hello, everybody. It’s me, Nicky B. Again. I know! What’s going on? I take a 10-month sabbatical, and now I leave one, what, six days ago? And now I’m leaving one right now.
Just wanted to call and check in again. Don’t have as much to say as I did before, but I’m still going to talk, because: Why not? I think, again, we should all give Jacqui a big round of applause for a., reminding me that I need to do this; and b. transcribing it.
So, today’s Sunday. And yesterday was Saturday and the day before that was Friday. I don’t know how you guys feel about Fridays, but I’m much more inclined to like a Monday. So I’m excited about tomorrow!
My movie aired last night, and I watched it and I thought that I played a convincing killer. I’m not going to lie to you. It’s been my dream to play a killer for a long time, and, you know, dreams do become reality … Oh, no. No, I didn’t mean to say that. I apologize. Like, reality in the sense of an actor realizing his part, and not actually killing somebody.
I’m getting great suggestions for scary books to read, thank you so much. I’m trying to think of what else I can ask for, because you guys are awesome: You know what, this is what it is: Without getting freaky-deaky on me, because I love watching movies.
OK, hi, it’s Nicky again. So here’s my dilemma, is that my smartphone, quote-unquote “smartphone”? The iPhone? Completely took a shit on me, so I had to get this, like, cheap phone. It’s not the Zack Morris phone. You know, it’s not the phone that your parents had in like, 89, where they had to carry this briefcase when they had a phone. But this is the phone that when they decided that, “Hey, everything should be smaller!” So it actually looks like a DoucheTooth, as I call it — a BlueTooth.
And if anybody wears a DoucheTooth, I apologize — I don’t mean to offend you, but it’s that small. I’m on a DoucheTooth, a.k.a. BlueTooth, when you don’t need to be wearing it, you know what I mean? It’s like, when it’s always attached to your ear, and then it’s just kind of there. I don’t want to have a conversation with you. What are you, is it going to ring at some point, and you’re going to say, “Oh, sorry, I need to take this call”? You know, take it out. At the gym, take it out; if you’re ordering a coffee, take it out. If you’re having sex with me, you know, please, take out the DoucheTooth. What’s more important than that?
Anyways, so it cut me off, my phone, because it’s very, very, very cheap. I actually listened to what I said before and the quality is not great. However, it might be this way for the next two months because I’m not paying $500 bucks for a new phone because my upgrade at AT&T doesn’t kick in until December 3. Call me crazy — but then again, I spent $71 bucks on this piece of shit. Huh. Hey, if anybody works at AT&T or Apple and can say that this is ridiculous because my phone just died, and I’m not eligible for the upgrade? Give me a call.
Anywho, the movie was on last night. Send your favorite movies in to Jacqui. But, horror to suspense. Not so much sci-fi. I love doing sci-fi, I love writing sci-fi, I can’t wait for you guys to actually read the scripts that — or to see the scripts that I have written with my partner Ben. But horror, and like, thriller stuff. If you can send those in, too, because Halloween’s coming up. I wanna be scared, guys. I wanna be scared shitless. I want the shit to be scared out of me. You know, I want to be driving down PCH, and all of the sudden, shit in my car because I’m thinking about the movie or the book that I read last night. So, the gauntlet — it’s been tossed. It’s been thrown. There’s a line in the sand, and it’s Nicky, shitting his pants.
So, I’m going to say bye to that. I will check in — maybe tomorrow. I don’t know. Maybe Tuesday. Maybe on Wednesday. Maybe on Hump Day. But, we might need to have, on Hump Day, I think anybody with a partner needs to actually hump. And anybody who doesn’t have a partner? Needs to hump their hand. In some capacity. While thinking about Jacqui. My webmaster. She’s a master indeed.
All right guys, I love you. I’m going to sign off right now. And, yadda yadda yadda, wocka wocka wocka. Fozzie, Fozzie Bear. Bye.
Hey, Nicky here, one more time. Three times in a night, totally insane.
I was actually just reading — Jacqui sent me a link to my website. So I can read all the great things that you were saying about me, and thank you so much. And then I reached — I read one, I got down to. Well, Amy said:
Creepy, creepy, creepy character, dude. And creepily played, with sensitivity and determination (eep)–kudos.
And then jsscgl said:
why is everyone on here writing direcctly to Nick as though Nick reads these posts?
So, jsscgl? Of course I read them, dude. Or dudette.
And then the one right afterwards, because I don’t wanna … E-m said — Em — E-m, Em said. And this is the first time, we’re reading together, because it’s where I’m at. It’s a long one. Hold on, here we go:
I’m terrible at remembering details after the fact so I made notes while I watched.
Okay, first, they made him rhyme? Really?
Non-ironic laugh at the McDreamy line. That was cute.
You know, when he poisoned the guy he hired to kill his wife, I thought maybe he was just tragically misunderstood.
(Nicholas: [Laughs] Oh, Em, you’ve got some problems. That’s funny.)
But I knew he was evil when he drank her milk straight from the container. EVIL!
(Nicholas: ‘Cause I guess you meant your husband does that.)
Note to the directors: If you want the ladies to fear the bad guy, you shouldn’t make kissing him look like so much fun.
(Nicholas: Em … I hope you’re not married, after that. Gettin’ a little rise. Continuing…)
Should I be finding the color commentary on the voyeur cam as funny as I do? It’s like he’s heckling a Lifetime movie.
(Nicholas: Good job, Em.)
When Nick does crazy and evil, he really does crazy and evil. Take note, television academy.
(Nicholas: You know, um … continuing…)
You know, if he were like 70 percent less murdery, I would say Casey should leave her husband and move in with the neighbor. He’d make a good soccer dad. That’s important.
(Nicholas: Well, how about, 30 percent less murdery? Because, you know, murder — and just ask George Bush and our government — is big business. Continuing.)
He ate their cake! EVIL!
(Nicholas: And it wasn’t even good, by the way. It was one of those things I had to do like, six times. And I ate it, and then I spit it into a trash can. That must have been at like, seven, eight o’clock in the morning. Long night. Continuing.)
Goddamn but Nick’s a charming bastard. You know, I get the feeling you could re-cut this movie into a romantic comedy pretty easily.
(Nicholas: [Laughs] Em, you’re awesome.)
Seriously, if it wasn’t for the music, those fantasy scenes with the backlit hair would be hilarious.
This guy is pretty fucking diabolical for a contractor. Oh, wait.
(Nicholas: Em, you’re cracking me up, right now.)
Ruh-roh. Shot down.
(Nicholas: Not sure what that means.)
So the husband cheated before?
(Nicholas: I know, that was my thing as well.)
I retract my earlier statement. Brent would only need to be 60 percent less murdery … (Nicholas: Em, you are fuckin’ awesome.) to be a better match for Casey.
(Nicholas: Though, I’m shocked that it only went down 10 percent. Clearly, Em, you have not been cheated on before. Because it should be zero percent. It sucks, by the way. OK, continuing.)
Dun, dun, dun. Shot down twice. According to the Law Of Lifetime, one more time and he’ll lose his shit and get stabby.
(Nicholas: Not sure what that means.)
Aaaand number three. Shit is being lost. Onto the psychopathy.
(Nicholas: Again, not sure what that means. Em, you’re losing me.)
Jeez. Doesn’t anyone keep their breakers in the basement anymore?
(Nicholas: East Coast, Em, East Coast. Steve! My dog. Steven, come here.)
Yeah, that board totally should have taken his head off Tarentino style. A guy with Nick’s upper body? I don’t buy it.
(Nicholas: I work out. And I do yoga. By the way, hey guys, this is fun. I should always read like, one post every week. You know, maybe I will do that! I’ve actually posted three times in one night. Maybe we’ll do a thing where I will read one post two to three times a week, depending on my schedule. OK, so, Em, here we go.)
See the bedroom door? That I buy.
(Nicholas: Yep, I would have taken it down even if it wasn’t jury-rigged.)
Aaaand (Nicholas: By the way, it’s with four A’s and then the -nd.) the stabby, with bonus-friendly cutting.
Very nice ending, Mr. De Palma.
(Nicholas: And then, here we go, this is the finale.)
So yeah, (Nicholas: Is that a word? The word is L, O, L, L, E, D. It’s Lolled? Or lollied. It’s not lollied, because there should be an i in there.) it’s true. But honestly, I don’t watch Lifetime movies because of their edgy storytelling. I watch them because they’re perfect for throwing popcorn at the screen and yelling at the characters. And this one delivered in a major way. Nick’s performance was a departure for the genre, which actually worked in a really weird way, because he was so un-self-consious in the role, it actually came out sort of self-aware, which had a cool meta-narrative quality about it when he was being stalkery.
(Nicholas: Thank you. Last line here.)
Or basically, what Miriam said. Great flick. Pairs well with Haagen Daaz and jam-jams.
Actually, she said jammies, but at about 10:30 when I put on my jammies, I always call my friends, and say good-night, and say, “Hey! I just put on my jam-jams.”
Hope you had a great day. Hope your evening is better. Hope you have great sleep. I’m in my jam-jams. And you guys rock. Thank you guys so much for watching it, and for commenting on it. And I’m not getting kidding about maybe commenting on one to three posts a week.
All right guys, this is it. At least a three- to four-day hiatus. Bye.

So, um. About his Hump Day activity suggestion:
If you decide to follow up on that, but don’t want to think about me during? Totally understand. We’re good. No need for explanations and “It’s not you, it’s me”-type awkwardness. Let’s just consider it two people, with a mutual understanding.
Em said,
September 27, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Nick, Nick, Nick. Lolled. As in LOL – past tense.
And I was typing as I watched. The whole “shot down” thing was referencing Chandra’s character rejecting you. In made for TV movies, the psycho-stalker can only have his advances turned down twice before he tries to kill her. Third time’s always charm.
Glad I could make you laugh, Nick.
P.S. Fuck the cell phone. Pagers are totally retro.
P.P.S. To this day the scariest movie I have ever seen was Event Horizon. It’s on a space ship, so, okay, sci fi, but it’s a space ship FROM HELL. So, scary, right?

long time post reader/listener, very few posted comments though. but i HAD to comment on this one. absolutely loved reading E-M’s post through your eyes, Nick. And E-M- haven’t caught the movie yet, but LOVE your play-by-play. That is totally how my roomie and i watch movies…
Now, Nick… can’t rec you any scary books or movies as I’ve been too busy with school but… a) I recommend Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights if you haven’t been in a while- excellent scares there. just got tix for the big night. very exciting. and b) if you really want some scares… try some of the John Douglas books (wait, guess I could rec a book! yay!) as the look into the killer/perpetrators mind is chilling. And I can attest to it as I just left work at Corcoran prison (where Manson is…) and work/study these creeps. Douglas really gets into their head. Spine tingles!
(and I just want to note this as pure awesomeness… but my random anti-spam word was IKEA)
Pia said,
September 28, 2009 at 12:48 am
Would love to see the movie but live in the wrong country. I just have to settle with reading other peoples comments about it.
Sort of repeating myself here but one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen was Pet Cemetary (recommended the book as well). Totally creepy. Also an old classic would be Hitchcock’s The Birds. *shudder*
Don’t watch much scary movies, at least not when I’m alone at home, because then I don’t sleep at night. I start seeing things from the corner of my eye and almost being scared of my own shadow.
Donna said,
September 28, 2009 at 1:19 am
WHY DO I NOT HAVE LIFETIME AT SUCH A CRUCIAL TIME IN LIFE???
I want to see this movie so bad. Is there a place I can see it online yet? Darn me for having basic cable…
On a side note though…I think I am finally learning to embrace Xander in an online roleplaying game I’m involved with. I know what you’re all thinking…a girl playing Xander? Yeah well….I Do. And I think I’m finally getting the hang of coming up with Xander-like-wittiness.
Nick if you have any pointers I’ll use them. I really will.
And now I have to plug my group… http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/HuntersAndSlayers/

There is very little I wouldn’t give to be able to have watched your show. Unfortunately I am in South Africa and can’t. I can how ever comment on other shows I have watched taped by my American friends and sent to me. I am new to this page as I am a new web surfer… Luckily for you I am a kind critic:) You are a great actor so really don’t need much critic. My kids thing you are the best slayerette in the buffy series. Me I prefer when you take on the juicier roles.
I think I should stop rambling now:(

September 28, 2009 at 5:23 am
This whole post just made me laugh way too loud at work, thank you! It made my Monday start out awesomely. I caught the flick on Lifetime and I have to agree with Em said about the voyeur cam commentary, I couldn’t stop giggling.
As for scary movies… Tenebre is pretty good and horror-y. Puppet Master is definitely creepy as well.

So glad you are audio blogging again. This made my Monday better!!! You inspired me to do an audio blog as well! Students love it.

Hey Nick,
so… it seems i totally need to watch this movie! Problem is i live on the other side of the world and who knows when (or if) it will be broadcast on cable or a local channel.
But there’s always the internet to get things illegally eh? (is that with two L’s?). Anyway, i know it’s wrong and it’s stealing and yadda yadda yadda, but what the heck! there’s should be better policies for downloading and it ain’t my fault.
Ok, looking forward to your next audioblog! cause you crack me up.
Kara said,
September 28, 2009 at 8:23 am
Okay Nicky-boy,
I’m not touching the poo-related material. No siree. Let’s just say you’ve placed certain visuals in my head that will never be erased, no matter how desperately hard I try.
Dear Jacqui, I’m sure you are a lovely person but should certain events occur on a certain day that someone in an audioblog might have mentioned it will probably not be you that I am thinking of during aforementioned events. Not that you’re not well worth thinking about, I’m sure that you are and have probably been thought of by many fine people in the past. But let’s be honest. I don’t roll that way. Okay, so this is getting awkward…Ahem. Moving on.
So, scary movies? I love scary movies but try to avoid them in the evening. I’m single(hint, hint), and I don’t like being kept awake all night with visions of scary killer-types standing in my backyard.
My recommendations:
1. Halloween. The original. Still one of the scariest darn movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve had reoccurring nightmares about Michael Myers for years.
2. That movie “The Eye” sucked pretty hard. But I saw the original once and it was scary. I don’t remember what it was called.
3. The Ring also scared the bejesus out of me when I first saw it.
Now for the annoying questions portion of my comment post:
1. Any chance we might see you on an episode of Supernatural? That would be beyond AWESOME. I’d also enjoy a guest appearance of you on Dollhouse. So make it happen already! C’mon, shake your tail feathers Nick.
2. Are you auditioning for any pilots? Would love to see you on the tube weekly!
3. Why don’t you have an iPhone? That’s not the same thing as an smartphone, right? I also have ATT btw. So I feel for you. My monthly bill is obscene. And not the good kind of obscene.
Good luck with all of your endeavors! Can’t wait to hear more about the writing projects. Thanks for taking the time to blog, especially in triplicate.
Keep ‘em coming!

hey nicky
you make mondays fun again!! keep on blogging and we’ll keep on posting.
i too have yet to see your movie but my mum is on her way back from the u.s as i type and she is bringing me a copy – woo hoo just in time for my birthday (30th September)
i have been thinking about scary movies to recommend. i think the grudge is terrifying and also the ring was very scary too. the only one film that ever scared me was nightmare on elm street but i was only 12 at the time and i still can’t look at freddie kruger without getting a shudder *urgh*
can’t wait to see the movie and to see you at hallowhedon next month in london
stay funky

Hey Nicky! (:
First off I want to say Jacqui, Thank you for all you do with this website cause you really do a great job. And also, Thank you for the free pass on thinking about you during certain such hump day activity. It’s not that I’m not fond of you in the, she’s an awesome webmaster capacity. And, it’s not that I don’t have a colorful imagination when I chose to use it. It’s just simply that I don’t swing that way.
Nicky, dude, the whole putting the hump in hump day is great and I’m certainly not against the whole frisky fun concept of it all. But really there’s no reason why any and everyday couldn’t be hump day in that sense of the word or that it should only be relegated to just once a day, day or night, whenever the mood strikes. (And this is beginning to sound like a viagra commercial) I guess what I’m trying to say here is, if hump day is only on Wednesday, that just makes for way to long a week. And it takes half the fun out of the weekend. Besides, my husband has a bad case of strep throat so until he’s not running a fever of one hundred and something degrees and until his throat quits feeling like he just swallowed battery acid, I’m thinking my chances for any hump day fun on Wednesday is pretty well shot.
As far as movies go I liked the movie “1408″ It starred John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson and it was based on a short story by Stephen King. It’s about a writer (John Cusack) who goes to supposedly haunted tourist destinations and writes about them and grades there scary level. Now he doesn’t believe in anything like ghost or the supernatural in a way it almost seems like he wants to and can’t. And, if you see the movie you will understand why. He gets a postcard to stay in room 1408 at the Dophin Hotel. It’s a pretty good flick. I thought it was worth it just to hear Samuel L Jackson say, “It’s an evil fucking room.” So yeah, I recommend 1408.
Pet Cemetary, if you haven’t seen it is very good. The sister of the main character’s wife, she really freaked me out. Get the first one don’t bother with any others cause those just got dumb.
The original Salem’s Lot with David Soul, Bonnie Bedellia, and James Mason. It’s an older movie and you may have seen it already but, for it’s time I thought they did really good with the make-up for the vampires. Certain scenes like Mike Ryerson in the rocking chair, Mrs Glick waking up at sunset, the sound of the scratching on the window panes, and Barlow has a pretty good scare factor to it.
I liked, “What Lies Beneath” pretty good. It had Harrison Ford and Michelle Phieffer in it. I also liked Jack Nicholson in the “The Shining” and Jack Nicholson in, I believe the movie is called “Wolf” Anyway, it has Jack Nicholson as a werewolf and he’s good in that movie. Kate Hudson in “The Skeleton Key” that one rather messed with my head. And um, this one is not scary but it is a suspenseful thriller but when I saw your performance in “My Neighbor’s Secret” I thought of Anthony Hopkins in the movie “Fracture” cause I thought you did every bit as well as what he did in that movie. But yeah, if you like your characters that are killers you should see “Fracture” sometime.
Well anyway, I hope that these suggestions give a good scare for Halloween and I really enjoy your blogs. And I can’t wait to see some of your scripts and other projects that are coming up. Oh! And sometime if you think of it, it would be great to see a picture with you and your german shepherd Steve. Well, I better go, bye. (hugs)
zandra said,
September 28, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Lovely to see you posting.
For scary movies I liked: “Jacob’s Ladder”, “The Haunting” (the 1963 one with Julie Harris), a Spanish film “The Devil’s Backbone” and “Wolfen”.
Briana said,
September 28, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Can I just say how much I loved your audioblog? I loved it! I thought you were fabulous in your movie. Very creepy, but in a good way. Can creepy like that be in a good way? Anyway, I thought you were fantastic. Scared the hell out of me! Seriously, my friends are trying to set me up with someone 20 years older than me and a complete stranger and expecting me not to freak out! Freak out occurred anyway.
As far as a scary movie, the first horror movie that I watched always left one heck of an impression on me. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre…had me up for several nights. The scene where Leatherhead pulls her into the room and slams the door – craptastic! Didn’t even need to see what happened since my imagination went into serious overload!
Have a great week!

Amy C. said,
September 28, 2009 at 7:48 pm
I have a sugestion for a scary thriller movie for you. It is called “Identity”. It is a psychotic thriller with a creepy ending. You might just shit your pants watching it. Just don’t be driving down PCH thinking about it because you might run someone over and then you would be shitting your pants for an entirely different reason and no one wants to see or hear about that. Hey I know since I am a Gemini I have different personalities but in that movie did your evil twin come out to play or what? That was some very good act unless you can be that way in real life and then that is just plain scary in its own right. That would might anyone shit their pants.

Thanks

Donna said,
September 28, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Wow…long posts all because he did an audio blog? Seems like people are simply just trying to get him to read their writing on audio blog. He never said it was a competition and he’d read the longest one you know…lol
Besides. Nick is just your every day run of the mill normal…well maybe not normal…guy. I’m fairly certain he’d want to be treated as such and not like a victim of cyber paparazzi.
Renee Winter said,
September 29, 2009 at 3:33 am
I second the 1408 recommendation. It\’s pretty psychological, which is the scariest for me! Also, and it got pretty horrible reviews I believe, but Mirrors, on the pants-shitting scale, was pretty up there for me.

September 29, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Donna’s right you guys. It isn’t a competition to see who can write the longest comment.
Clearly, I was judged worthy by merit of the number of spaces between sentences, rather than actual word count. Come on guys, I may be eliminated from this round by default, but some one needs to step up their game.

September 29, 2009 at 5:23 pm
so i rec Haute Tension still, and maybe umm…well honestly i don’t do so well on the movie front seeing as i have the attention span of a goldfish on ecstasy. but umm…the watcher in the woods, the alphabet killer was kinda crazy but good, session 9, heavenly creatures is mostly just fucked up, and if you want really scary…just watch anything by disney. and i say this as a disney fan because cartoons are right up my extremely short attention spans alley.
Ruth said,
September 30, 2009 at 3:56 am
LOL. I do long posts. I’ll admit it. But then again I always have. Even back before Nick did audioblogs. Back then I was known as Lil Miss Zeppo though, cause most people didn’t list their real names, when this website was set up in discussion forums among the fans. I would post long posts to other fans in the forums and I would give them long replies as well. Especially, if it was a convention forum like a BTVS convention and one of us was going to a convention to meet Nick or Kelly or anybody for that matter. They would post and give us an update on their trip and sometimes if they had them they would post pictures of their time at the events they attended. I enjoyed it for them and I enjoyed it for me, too. Cause if I couldn’t go I at least liked knowing somebody else got to and that they enjoyed their experience. In 2006 I got to go to Dragoncon in Atlanta and I met Nick and I got to post back on my experience at a convention and my post was probably long as all hell, then too. And Donna, your definately right, Nicky was very kind and very down to earth when I got to meet him in Atlanta. But then again, I doubt I would have been a fan for as long as I have been if he wasn’t, cause I don’t usually care enough to follow what most celebrities do at all. Nick is the only one I bother to keep up with. So anyway, I post long I reply long and sometimes if I don’t have anything to say I don’t reply at all, and thats just the way I do it. Jacqui does a hell of a job as webmaster and Tara and Lexi did a hell of a job as moderators when this site was done in forums. But, I really do love Nicky’s audioblogs. (:
Donna said,
September 30, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I’m so glad I have people backing me on this. lol
I thought it was just me who saw that once he did an audioblog it seemed like people flocked to leave comments. Imagine if he were an active member of the twitter-verse. Look out cyber stalkers…lol
Jacqui said,
October 1, 2009 at 5:52 am
I think it’s pretty natural for more people to reply to his audioblogs than to my news postings. I mean, naturally I find everything I post to be entertaining and interesting, but he is the draw. I understand the increase in posts, as well as length. It’s expected and encouraged!
Tammy said,
October 1, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Hey Nick,
A good scary, but not gory, movie I’ve always liked was “A Ghost Story”. Then there’s “Legend of Hell House” and “House on Haunted Hill”, both the originals and the remakes. “American Psycho” and “Apt Pupil” are both highly creepifing.
Hope you’ll let us know which books and movies you chose and what you thought about them.
Donna said,
October 1, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Awww Jaqui I’m a big fan of reading and I’d read anything you posted so long as you wrote about something I was interested in…and wrote it well, which I’m sure you do. I’m actually new to this site having only heard about it from Joss.
And OMG…look at Nicky in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG1–i2veMg
I love how he “da da da”s his way through this one on lines he doesn’t know.

I almost enjoy reading Em’s responses more than Nicholas’. Almost. Closing in on a tie. Loved the wickedly accurate play by play. Maybe a contest where once a month Nicholas picks his favorite, and sends them I don’t know a used napkin or something. It’s the thought that counts right? My vote’s on Em. Also have to handsdown go with Em on Event Horizon. I love having the hell scared out of me and that one does it. The Ring and The Grudge do it for me as well. The originals are even scarier. It’s like dieting. You know you’re going to regret watching that crap afterwards come bedtime but you just can’t help sinfully enjoying it during. It’s kind of perverse? Is that spelled right? It’s 3am who cares. Moving on, going to have to go with Nicholas on the cheating thing though with a
-100%. Probably the most hurtful thing you can do to someone. And yes I’m new to the being cheated on club so I actually stopped watching right there, But hold the intervention guys, I did finish watching on the 3rd showing. Whew I know. The second that shit was revealed in the movie, although I kind of had a hunch all along, I would have packed my bags and moved in with the neighbor! The less crazy neighbor on the other side that is. Or maybe across the street and 1 casa over? In their treehouse!

Oh yeah 1 more scary movie suggestion I highly recommend not just to Nicholas but to everyone. Pan’s Labrynth! Again is that spelled right? Son of a…what time is it…

Pinky, you clearly have an irreproachable character, so I can only assume your ex must have been a total douchebag. I’ve never really been cheated on. I’ve never been respectable enough. But that being said, the thought that someone cheated on Nicky kind of hurts my heart a little.
I think I’ll waive the napkin this time. I just don’t have the technology or the wherewithal to clone him.

Yoga huh? You should really try Tai Chi. I’ve been doing Tai Chi Yang style for about a year now and I love it. It has martial applications as well as soothing and relaxing applications as well. YouTube it. It may seem intimidating at first but if I can do it, anyone can.
And sex with a DoucheTooth in ear? Really? I mean it’s kinky and all but very distracting. I would want your full attention. Ahem. Moving on.
Oh, and if you haven’t figured out the phone thing yet you should be able to go to an AT&T store and tell them it died and should be able to get another one. I don’t know how AT&T works because I have Verizon, but they shouldn’t give you too much of a problem.
As for scary movies, I would suggest any Japanese horror movie. Ringu, the Japanese version of The Ring is a must for horror; The Eye was suggested in an earlier post and I thought it was good, it wasn’t too scary though. If you’re looking for books Steven King is always a great place to look for horror and the like. How could the New York Times be wrong for so many years if he’s not good?
Anyway I hope that helps and I can’t wait to hear another audioblog from you. Stay well!

Wow! I hadn’t actually seen the movie until I saw it on this site, and I thought that the major thing you were doing right now was “Criminal Minds.” And I’m like, Nicky’s ALWAYS a good guy; the episodes on BtVS when he was doing a darker sort of thing were so unexpectedly good. And then you play the most creepily perfect serial killer ever, and I’m like, oh my god he just stomped on a kitten!
But in a good, squeaky sort of way. I don’t know if that’s possible.
In anywhoosville, I always love your audio tapes; much fun to be had. I was squinting at the hump day comments. But, in fair game, everyone needs action on hump day. But my absolute favorite part was the fact that you said “douche-tooth.” Do you ever have those moments when you see someone with one of those things in and you walk up behind them to ask them if they’ve taken their meds today because they’re talking to the air? And then they turn to you like “What the HELL is wrong with you?”
Just me then. Okay. Well, I’ll stop rambling, but, yeah — Nicky Brendon terrorizing the neighborhood: not something I ever thought I’d see or enjoy nearly as much. You’re a delicious bad guy; you should try it more often. To leave it off, I have to agree with Em–they shouldn’t have made it look nearly as much fun to kiss Brent…
