ooooo now that's big news from sweden. ooooo C-section - that's got to hurt. Everybody's healthy from what's been passed through the grapevine. It's the year of the Monkey so technically I am a monkey's uncle.

It's booked, ticket arrived, a family version of the Amazing Race will start in the not so distant future.

In other news

Happy sailing Monkey. Drive safely.

Checkarooly lazebeams still functioning.

Seems that there was a little bit of concern about what I'd show up to the soiree in. Just because I'd dress like a bike courrier if given the choice doesn't mean all I have is bike courrier clothes.

Well now that's over I don't need any more social functions till far into the new year.

Office party. Trying to hide anonymously in corner.

There's a Joy Division movie coming out. Thank god Moby isn't handling the music.

Historical Pirate Flags

And again boring guy album or superstar guy album like this:

Yesterday I came up with yet another reason why I don't listen to jazz anymore - Album covers.
Why would I want to put on an album with a completely boring cover like this:

(Seems to me there'd be an uninteresting rehash of standards done à la Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett lurking inside). When I can listen to an album with a cover like this:
or this or even this
Yeah I know what I'm playing later.

Just realized that the big office party is tuesday which means I might miss the Amazing Race finale. Maybe I'll just walk around the party screaming "I'm PACKIN' IT" or "It's okay. Run them over"

So once again as soon as I step out of the office it starts to rain, ruining my bike ride plans. And once again my plans to do something productive this evening like buy a new domain, make a goofy Flash site, maybe create the Craptastic T-Shirt store, go nowhere and I end up doing laundry and watching motorcycle build-off shows. The build-offs always seems to be between a heavily tattooed baffoon who makes bikes that belong in a knife/sword shop in a mall and heavily tattooed baffoon who hand crafts something sleek and more traditional. The hand crafted ones always show way more skill and style but usually end up loosing to the "flaming replica of a Lord of the Rings orc sword" bike.

Indian Larry was definitely the coolest builder.

Another reason for Americans to vote Bush out -Richard Cheese won't play your state if it helps elect Bush.

Krispy Kreme, Taco Bell, Pizza, corn fritters, large quantities of pop and coffee. I eat healthy around relatives. Kind of feel like vomitting this morning.

Orgasms on demand with the patented Orgasm Machine. It's the gift that keeps giving.

Remembering how lame Quark is...
Shhhhhhh don't tell the clients that it's the web guy who knows next to nothing about print doing their print ads.

Yes. Kensington. Where suburban art school and downtown corporate oil money meet for expresso.

School is in and time to watch the latest batch of students, fresh from their suburban parental control, try to express their individuality in the most lame and blantant ways possible. The most forced and uncool cry for attention viewed so far: the Shaggy clone strolling the neighbourhood like cock of the walk with his girlfriend, desparately trying to look sophisticated and detached by smoking a pipe. Look at me! I'm puffing on this pipe! I'm beyond and above all these other trends because I'm smoking this pipe! Did I mention that I'm obviously an individual because I'm smoking this pipe? All the other students smoke cigarettes but I'm such a gentile homme in my Shaggy-wear I smoke this pipe i stole from my 80 year old uncle! Possibly the only thing more uncool was the late 40ish business suits I overheard saying "Yes, he got on to the stage and started freestylin'". Damn, your science is too tight!

OpenCube released a fix to solve the Safari problem if you happen to be using their drop menus.

The latest update for OS X seems to make drop downs menu on websites not work in Safari.

Almost starved at lunch but found a bag of emergency Twizzlers stashed in the desk. Should be a required survival kit item.

But my lips hurt real bad! Finally saw Napoleon Dynamite. That dance was pretty amazing. Pablo Ferro's title design is great too

One thing they should consider is listing the boom microphone as a co-star. Next to Napoleon it was in the most scenes.

Honestly I was searching for Sonny Bono and Yoko Ono. Honestly! But if you think I can resist clicking on a 70s instructional video called The ABC'S of Sex Education for Trainables you are so wrong. There's also a companion piece, Travel Training for the Retardate.

Give me access to a company server and I'll find a way to make your website go away. Then again what do you expect trying to run an intranet site off FileMaker. But anyhoo...wonder if I'll have a job tomorrow after this escapade.
