week(end) remainders

go go first week of the new job! fun times, im learning alot. jah…yea, theres not much else to talk about. i didnt make much effort to get oot and aboot, so i mainly stared at either my tv or computer screen all weekend long. on a side note, i did get to watch adult swim satty nite as everybody on-screen farted every 5 seconds all nite long. thank you cartoon network and april fools day.

on that note i suppose, i could point out the interesting article in the ny times about anime culture. good read. that is all. and yea, posts will suck til i start doing interesting things again. the weathers getting nice out, so hopefully thatll be soon!

vintage technicolor

yay for fun dumbo holiday parties. but ill get to that sometime later. for now, i thought id bring up this interesting link from cnn…a series of vintage photos in full color. the library of congress in washington dc is featuring an exhibit of both b&w and color photos from varying periods of time in america’s history. too often you can only see the past in black and white, and theres something about b&w that almost romanticizes it. seeing it in color brings it back into reality, which gives it that much more impact. anyhoo, i kinda wish this exhibit was coming to nyc (but its not). but check out some of the images from the cnn feature…

random fridays

it was pooping snow just a few hours ago…what was up with that? anyhoo, its friday and i fig’d id post before im forced to write some cliched “gosh i marinated and now its monday” type post. quick summation for tuesday’s quiz nite…we were rocked. yar. rocked hard. even with i4’s brainiac power and his friends ability to drink liquor continuously, we were no match for the 4 sloth-looking guys sitting at the bar. they must be armchair einsteins. bastards.

anyhoo…randomness! not quite as catchy as magical trevor, but just as magical and infinitely scarier is this random video from the 80’s for the legend of zelda. link doesnt and shouldnt ever do a dance number. zelda doesnt and shouldnt ever jump in either to get her groove on. on the brightside, link looks like a girl…so link and zelda equals girl-on-girl action. good stuff.

> magical trevor (ive been meaning to perma-link this baby)
> the legend of zelda commercial (wtf)

im bored…

pa vs. jt

we chose a theme song for my art director the other day. for a while she insisted mine was supercar’s strobolights…mostly because itunes seemed to like playing it over and over. that was soon revised to orb’s pink fluffy dinosaurs for god only knows what reason. so i fig’d fine…if my theme song’s going to be fluffy dinosaurs, hers is deejay punk-roc’s i hate everybody. because for crissakes…some of the seething hate that spews from her mouth…

JACK THOMPSON IS A FUCKNUT
in funnier news…for the gamer population out there, this’ll be familiar. jack thompson, the anti-gamer attorney, has gone fucknuts and is asking that the fbi investigate the creators of the webcomic penny arcade for supposed “extortion”…that the articles on their site “appear to violate state and federal laws.” bwahaha…attention-starved lawyers going after gaming-themed web comics. quick summary of this craziness: jack thompson is a tool, goes after gamers. makes some kind of offer to donate $10k to a charity if a game is made featuring the killing of game execs (read the article for the reason why). pa thinks jacks a douche, and donates $10k anyway to their charity called “childs play” in jacks name. fans of penny arcade and other various web comics/friends of pa go ape-shit on jack. jack gets pissy, needs more friends, and starts crying to feds…etc etc. does anybody else think this is sadly retarded? jack, you really need something better to do with your time, you sad little butt nugget.

white supremist kids

hello evolution…youre not working motherfucker! theres still plenty of speedbumps across the world, and theyre still procreating. i read this brief article in am new york this morning on the subway about these olsen twin-like girls who are all cute and young and happy and blonde…and who also happen to be white supremists. i was like…holy shit, what the fuck? so i found an abc news article on it to see what all the shits about. lamb and lynx (no seriously) gaede are 13 year-old twins from california who sing about white nationalism and racial purity as the duo prussian blue.

quote the prepubescent brats…“we’re proud of being white, we want to keep being white,” said lynx. “we want our people to stay white … we don’t want to just be, you know, a big muddle. we just want to preserve our race.”

wow. wow. what the fuck…wow. i suppose i shouldnt be so ignorant and realize theres still plenty of stupidity to blanket the world, but seeing it presented like this and from a pair of brats that young still makes me shudder. besides, as the article pointed out, its really their parents spewing the crap and the 2 brats are just their convenient mouthpieces. still disturbing nonetheless. as a funny aside, when i grabbed the accompanying image from the abc site, the image file was labeled “abc_ptl_nazitwins2_051019_t.jpg”. bwahahaha…

diddy kong

and in other earth-shocking holy shit motherfucking holy hell news, p.diddy (aka: sean combs, puff daddy, puff, puffy, tim) has just announced that he will now be henceforth known only as diddy. quote the massive disembodied bloated head, “we had to move the p. we had to simplify it. diddy is more personal. we are entering into the age of diddy. it’s a new era.” yes…a new era! huzzah! his infinite humility is blinding my feeble eyeballs…

wild-on!: siena

mmm…just because the travel bugs been biting me again recently, this coo ny times travel article on siena, italia. siena was one of my favorite italian cities while i was studying in italy…im a sucker for the hilly tuscan vistas. and even tho i missed the palios (i was stuck in a crash-course in conversable italian before the semester started), we did catch the post-palio crazy-ass celebrations that engulfed the whole town when we took our trip. theyre some crazy party people. anyhoo, im pining for another vacation…so maybe ill bump europe near the top. cant pass japan tho. *sigh* need to start saving up money again…bleh.
