nice weather outside. we got to see one apartment yesterday in murray hill. it was pretty coo…nice sized bedrooms, renovated everything, and a living “space” the width of a hallway. yup. ah well…everything else about it was coo tho. we’re seeing another one today with the same broker, whom i refer to as “chris the surfer dude” b/c his name is chris, talks like a surfer dude, and he happens to remind me of my first freshman studio t.a. that was also named chris, also talked like a surfer dude, and whom i also referred to as “chris the surfer dude.” thats alot of commas.

movie alert
ok…i dont really kno where to segue this bit of info in…so im just sticking it smack in the middle. check out the teaser for the forthcoming pixar movie “the incredibles.” it looks ridiculously coo. – link –

anyhoo…new york/tokyo film festival tix arrived! woo! bollocks to planning for ppl this time…too much hassle. im headed to the saturday session with marisol and her bf for hiroyuki nakano movies (samurai fiction/sonic four) and then sunday for some afternoon anime with fish. in other news…field day’s odds of happening increased to around 40% (from 1%)…but who knos. its already wednesday, so they’d better resolve their shit fast. these articles aren’t the most optimistic….nytimes and newsday. *shrug* but whatever…did i mention my ny/tokyo film festival tix arrived? kaneda approves!

current selection | new order – temptation

oy…after a days reprieve from allergies, they come back. rock. it was pretty coo out yesterday, and i was really tempted to go biking. but eventually 2 things caught up with me….i was reeeeally hungry after work, and i wanted to finish up my newest drawing. this last drawing was meant for my friend min in toronto. she wanted me to design a flyer and sleeve for their launch party, bang-on! and i thought i had an idea what it was abt….so with some basic guidelines i drew my usual techy thing. then she actually sent me some tracks…and what the hell? its mostly down-tempo! frick. so i was feeling the *wallpaper vibe and told her mebbe i should save the illustration for when they release something actually more….techy. *shrug* ah well….i went and finished up the drawing anyhoos. looks coo. my next drawing to color is this bad boy. whew…

and if u didnt kno, the last online animatrix is up. second renaissance part 2. wonder whats gonna be up with the rest of the animatrix’s….

woo-ha! i got matrix reloaded tix! me and fish are gonna go see some matrix-lovin’ opening nite at the 34th st loews. cushy seats…stadium seating…ah, how spank. yea…i kno the opening isnt for another month. but who wants to take chances with ticket availability?

aside
woo…bubble tea as a cultural phenomenon. marisol sent me this link to the bubble tea lounge…in mexico. yup, mexico. heres the kicker…its run by a bunch of cornell architects. ha. katz and andre, the two proprietors, are from marisols year…and theyre prolly making a butt-load of money down there. they even dropped names here and there in their menu…the ji-hoon-peach, mandarin kwok. sadly, i didnt kno them well enuf to get my own menu item. phoo.

where did spring go? you kno, i couldve sworn it was 60ish out last week. crappies. ar well. my old college roomie miller came down from boston this weekend. huzzah! we met up for brunch with a friend of hers, and then hit the met. we initially wanted to see the da vinci exhibit, but then we saw the sign for the exhibit with the words 2, 1/2, and hours…followed by the word wait. so then we decided otherwise. i hadnt realized how long its been since i actually went to the met. somewhere in the vicinity of a decade. oops. anyhoo, it was fun…and it was good to see miller again. sunday rolls around….and me and pho were supposed to go shopping for spanky new spring clothes. but since it sucked outside, we went thrift store hunting around chelsea instead.

anyhoo…off to a tangent. langa jus emailed me this link. and even tho its dated march 19th, i fig’d its still worth sharing since its pretty coo. its abt a wall street trader who made millions from jus $800 in 2 weeks. when he was arrested for supposed insider trading, he claimed he was from the future. keep in mind its not april 1st yet, and the articles actually from 2 weeks ago. u kno…ive always wondered abt time travelers…and how in the hypothetical sense if they were around, one would inevitably fuck up and get caught. so is this it? is he the one that fucked up and had to reveal to the masses the existence of time tourists? my sci-fi geek side is gonna believe his story….i mean, anythings possible.

yea…i kno it has the barest of things to do
with bttf, but i was lazy and didnt want to
make a pic.

note. it was pointed out to me the other day how i refer to (almost) all my friends only by their last names. i guess i subconsciously knew i was doing this…but didnt really notice til it was pointed out that i did it with jus abt everybody. fish, langa, miller, pho….all last names. hmm….fascinating.

my friend fonz mentioned this to me last week…how some badass national guard member in ohio legally changed his name to optimus prime. how cool is that? albeit in a slightly geeky way…but nobody can deny the coolness that was the transformers. best quote…

“I got a letter from a general at the Pentagon when the name change went through and he says it was great to have the employ of the commander of the Autobots in the National Guard.”

boo-ya. someone go find voltron and mazinger…the iraqi army* would crumble beneath the combined might of beam sabers, flying fist-missiles, and um…stan bush. you got the touch….

theres nothing more fun than browsing pictures from japanese anime conventions. these ppl…wow…i mean, these ppl really need to focus all this effort elsewhere. some of it is admittedly coo tho. this particular lots from japan at least…since, u kno, japanese already look weird. americans however…no. theres nothing worse than seeing fat white american men dressed as cloud. or worse. lum. geeks galore…

wow, my co-worker jus informed me of an even more bastardized holiday called “sweetest day” thats big in great cultural centers such as detroit, cleveland, and buffalo. when he first mentioned this, i was thinking to myself, “ok, so whats so special about the swedes?” then he clarified, and then i pondered sticking a finger down my throat. apparently, this mid-western concoction, the third saturday of october, began as a holiday for the under-privileged, and eventually evolved to generally doing “good deeds” for ppl, spreading its cavities to all denominations. this kind of reminds me of that movie, pay it forward, where all you wanted to do was poke ur eyes out and go harm small woodland animals. now im not some evil evil person who only has evil evil thoughts day in and day out…but this type of cheese is pretty sickening. im lactose intolerant. so on the third saturday of october, do urself a favor and go hurt some small woodland animals.
