So while you’re hastily trying to do today’s and Friday’s work so you can just dick around taking personality quizzes tomorrow, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the best things happening in Brooklyn tonight, courtesy of the Brokelyn Events Calendar.

SYFY MOVIES WITH A VIEW: SHARKNADO 2
The original Sharknado was pretty great, a bonkers low-budget crappy special effects-fest about a series of  tornados that had sharks in them for some reason. The only point against it really was that it wasn’t set in New York, and look at that, Sharknado 2 fixes that issue, so go revel in the glory of its badness while also recognizing stuff on screen.

MYRTLE COMEDY
It’s another awesome night at Myrtle Comedy, but not just any awesome night. Tonight, you get to laugh at (or with?) Emmy Blotnick AND Brendon Small, who you might know from shows like Home Movies and Metalocalypse. Will Small play some brain-melting guitar licks? One can only hope.
