cheaters never prosper

alas, it appears michel gondry
cannot solve a rubix cube with his feet after all.




amazing.
gondry is totally bonkers.
and i love it.

e-gems

i love this man:


and the editors of this show:

i am so bad at this.

to the 2 or so people i imagine visit this blog from time to time,
i apologize for neglecting to post these past two months.
i mean to, i really do.

that said, and in lieu of any news to share,
i encourage you all to watch ICONOCLASTS on the sundance channel, wherein
"the most fearless and relentlessly innovative forces of our time
meet one-on-one to explore their shared passions."

seriously, watch this show.
it's beyond inspiring.

like the episode with mikhail baryshnikov and alice waters.
watching them share their passion for dance and cuisine respectfully,
i found myself wanting to
dance.
cook.
do baryshnikov. ohmygod he is so hot. i mean, wow.

moving on.

for good measure, and because i don't know how to put songs on here,
a few music viddys (viddies?) from bands you should know.
watch.
listen.
love.

dirty on purpose -- light pollution



chromeo -- needy girl



MSTRKRFT -- easy love



of montreal -- wraith pinned to the mist (and other games)

love your name.

your name may suck
but probably not as much as these people's:

dirk vandeman
shirley tuber
pochih chang
renato quilang

and my personal favorite:
bang pham

yes, these are real people.
i know because i just entered them into my office's contact database.
and cried a little for their most likely traumatic childhoods.

i heart pawky

so these quite brilliant friends of mine created a film sharing site.
like facebook for filmmakers.
like youtube for short films and animation.
it's really quite something.
it's called pawky.



visit pawky.com to watch and comment on films,
and/or upload your own!

here are few i recommend.
i'd upload them here, but i'm not smart enough.

adventures in advertising

having recently encountered this first ad,
i thought i'd post a few provocative favorites. enjoy.



heartwarming, perhaps. controversial, certainly.
but does it move me shop at benetton? hell no.
i mean look at those outfits. borrring.

this ad on the other hand,
now this ad makes me want to practice
whatever marithe & francis girbaud are preaching.

so you're saying if i worship the gospel of anorexia
i too can be thin and beautiful? nicey.

i don't get this ad.

but i have this couch.
actually i have two of them.
well done, ikea. well done.

and now my favorite:

a friend sent me this ad a few years ago.
took me a while, but i eventually managed to grasp its brillant subtlety.
and then i stocked up on lube.

cool things for the walls of my fictional apartment

removable wall decals!

for cultivating the michelangelo within my fictional children
minus the whole paint thing.
(www.whatisblik.com)

magnetic receptive wallpaper + decorative sheet magnets!

for displaying the myriad achievements/masterpieces of my fictional children.
because the fridge is just too damn small now isn't it.

more cool things for my fictional apartment

a wine cradle:

for beergoggling the eyes of my date
because some of us just look hotter blurry.

a villain chair:

for scheming, devising plans for world domination.

an egg-cup timer:

for looking at while ordering takeout

a manhole bathmat:

for remembering i'm still jenny from the block.

a "dead fred" pen holder:

for holding my pen in times of crippling writer's block
lest i stab myself whilst sobbing in fetal position.

on why i haven't posted in a while:

i suck.
sorry.

also i have no future.
i am more sorry about this to be honest.
sorry, i am.
