I’m Jon Specht, and I’m the new Editor of Tiger Weekly. I just thought I’d say hi, and let you know that I’ll soon be doing blog posts of my own.

In case you weren’t aware, the Onion has a “movie.” (it’s more a compilations of sketches that sort of relate to each other) As you can see from previous blog posts, I enjoy and support the Onion for its intelligent but non-pretentious humor. Unfortunately, the movie is more on par with Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, etc. There are a couple of extremely funny scenes but not worth the rental price.

As an example of the low-brow humor in this movie, here’s a clip that’s part of a recurring “joke” throughout the film. If you find this hilarious and are OK with the trailer and references to the trailer being repeated several times, then you may enjoy The Onion Movie.

Cue the dumbass from the business report calling me a blow-hard.

I haven’t been very faithful to this blog in the past several months. I finished college, got offered an incredible post-grad job (which I’ve been enjoying since early June), got married, and bought a house. I’m shocked that I’ve been able to keep up with my column, let alone run the paper this summer.

I’m sure it’s no surprise that my reign as editor-in-chief of Tiger Weekly is coming to an end. In fact, the first issue of the fall semester will effectively be my last week as the editor. It’s been just over a year and a half. I’ve done all I can for this paper, and it’s time for new blood to take it to greater heights. I want to shift my focus to my family and my career, and it would be a disservice to this publication and you, the readers, for me to keep Tiger Weekly on second fiddle.

But I’ll still be around, of course. The Go-To Guy column shall continue as long as the letters keep coming (or hell, I’ll just make some up). I’ll try to write other stuff, too, as I get the time. Really, when you think about it, the only things disappearing are this blog, the accompanying ugly mugshot,  and my name from the top of the masthead. (Also, all you ex-employees who couldn’t handle me are now free to reapply.)

I will be migrating to another, much more private and uncensored blog in the future. I’ll let you do the detective work to find it.

It’s been fun, everybody. I’ll save the sappy details for the print edition.

Jenna and I have happily fled our college apartment in favor of suburban life. Welcome to the grand tour of our new house, which is located in the City of Central (where we grew up). We closed on it earlier this month, and it’s finally ready for living in.

EDIT: Screw it, can’t be bothered with trying to get these photos to align properly, so just click here to see it.

I saw the Dark Knight today, and it was not the best movie of 2008. It was good, yes, but Heath Ledger does not deserve an Oscar for his very good, but not terrific, performance. I give this movie a B+. I realize this is very horrible of me, since everyone can’t escape the “omgButHeDied!!” mentality, so I will apologize right now. I’m sorry, but Ledger’s performance as the Joker cannot live up to what the public was expecting and subsequently implanted as reality.

If you truly, honestly believe this movie is the best of the year and your opinion is in no way based on your subconscious participating in the public-inspired, vicarious mourning of Heath Ledger, that’s wonderful. But I don’t believe you.

The honeymoon is over, folks. In case you’re interested, you can watch part of our wedding video online. It’s a 5-minute series of highlights set to music. Pardon the fact that my body takes up pretty much every frame. Also forgive me for not being able to properly throw a garter.

The footage was taken by Conner Media Group, who I would highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for a wedding videographer. They were prompt, professional, and the work most definitely speaks for itself. Check them out at connermediagroup.com. 

OC Register to outsource some editing to India

“An Indian company will take over copy editing duties for some stories published in The Orange County Register and will handle page layout for a community newspaper at the company that owns the Pulitzer Prize-winning daily, the newspaper confirmed Tuesday.”

George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday. I certainly wasn’t his biggest fan, but he has made an impact on comedy, and for that he will be missed.

Here me roar.

Worse than this movie is the type of people who see it.

(Fiancee dragged me there. TONS of shallow skanks.)

It’s going to take days to salvage my self-respect.

Jesus.
