Mr. and Mrs. Smith trailer. Looks like a fun, pointless movie. Directed by Doug Liman, the same guy who did Bourne Identity, but not Bourne Supremacy. Stupid shaky cam.
Does the tango music/scene make anyone else think of True Lies?
Marijuana. Read the reviews.
A work that soars, and takes you with it. Clears your vision and leaves you hungry.
The weekend was rather uneventful, as was the Thanksgiving weekend in general. I blew a lot of money on stuff I don’t need (Yay consumerism) and played marathon sessions of Sid Meier’s Pirates! Sail around the Caribbean, plunder Spanish villages, duel Frenchmen, romance beautiful governer’s daughters, this game is so addicting. I’ll write more about it at another time.
I was watching the Laker Girls the whole time. Let’s bypass the whole “Oh my god, you got to go to the Lakers vs. Kings game yesterday?” and the “You sat that close? No way!” and the “Who did you have to blow to get those tickets?” and just get straight to the fun stuff.
Was anyone else aware that the Laker Girls went through costume changes during the entire game? They must have changed at least twice a quarter, and it plays out like an extended striptease. They start out in track suits, then the suits come off and we get them in thermals with pants, then they come back out in skirts and halters, and after a bit of that we get shorts which eventually turn into full-on vinyl oufits.
The game was fun. As anyone knows, I’m the last person to go into a discussion about the merits of Basketball, although I was pretending to root for the Lakers out of fear of being beat down if I rooted for the Kings. Thanks to the Vassar for the ticket.
I’m thankful for everyone that’s been a part of my life.
Watched The Terminal and Elf tonight as part of our Thanksgiving party. Terminal was alright, nothing too special and nothing to really write about. Elf was excellent the second time around. I need to go out and get the DVD now, and seriously consider it as an essential.
I’d best be bloggin’ before the natives get restless. I stopped by Best Buy this past weekend to get the Iron Giant SE DVD. Those bastards didn’t even have it up in front with all the new releases. I ended up digging through the “Family” section, and even then it was hidden behind some other lousy family movie. $15 as the msrp isn’t bad though, and after a viewing with Richard, Tommy and Nathan, it’s slowly inching its way towards being an essential.
On my past couple of visits to Best Buy, I’ve been playing Katamari Damacy on the demo booths, and that game is a load of fun if you haven’t tried it yet. You control a little alien prince who pushes around his katamari ball which sticks to everything, and overtime it builds up mass and grows bigger and bigger. It’s one of those games that’s so simple yet addicting that it makes me want to get a PS2 just to play it.
Speaking of games, Half-Life 2 is everything it was hyped up to be. The physics are seriously insane, yet aren’t so complex that they ruin the gameplay. I must have spent a good 30 minutes just stacking up barrels with the gravity gun.
Highlights of the weekend: Jennie eating a rootbeer float in front of Foster’s Freeze, her hand shaking from the cold weather and saying, “This is so good, I’m gonna eat one everyday.” Then Nathan, walking out of a 7-Eleven with a big furry hat holding a Slurpee. Cold desserts in the winter rule.
Economic `Armageddon’ predicted. We’re spending too much, we’re all in debt, and we’re just digging ourselves into a deeper hole.
Roach marshalled alarming facts to support his argument.
To finance its current account deficit with the rest of the world, he said, America has to import $2.6 billion in cash. Every working day.
That is an amazing 80 percent of the entire world’s net savings.
Sustainable? Hardly.
Clips from The Life Aquatic Archives. Willem Dafoe is going to steal this movie. Everytime I see another clip it makes me want the soundtrack more and more.
Conan O’Brien: IT Tech Support in India. I was cracking up at the Bollywood part.
Waiter Rant: Se Habla Espanol. Brilliant.
Yuppies raised on a steady diet of Food Network bullshit want an opera singing food personality to reinforce their Williams Sonoma Catalog ideal of how the world should be. When it runs smack dab against the harsh world of restaurant economics and immigration it creates what my old sociology professor called “dissonance.”
Dissonance? I call it racist bullshit.
Cake, Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie on Stubbs soundtrack. Ben Kweller singing “Lollipop”? Death Cab singing “Earth Angel”? Wait a minute - these are all oldies! How sweet is this soundtrack going to be?
Michael Muller’s show “Superfamous” is at the Lo-Fi gallery through December 25th. I had no clue who he was, but a quick trip to his website will give a good idea. Love the Flash interface as well.
Colorstrology. Color theory applied to astrology. It’s always scary how “accurate” they can nail personalities. I’m Neptune Green, Pantome 14-6017

calkidd32 (6:48:41 PM): LMAO
calkidd32 (6:48:43 PM): that’s comedy
calkidd32 (6:48:48 PM): and I’m hispanic!
I love you Onion
Chalk this one up under interesting new marketing ideas. Sony has put up billboards for their new portable, the PSP, in Tokyo subways, with actual working models of the PSP behind plexiglass. They’ve even got guards stationed to make sure nobody tries to steal them.
Recycline’s Preserve Toothbrush. 100% recyclable toothbrush. What’s neat is their subscription feature, allowing you to buy 4 at a time that can be delivered all at once or on a subscription base over 2, 3, 4 months at a time. I’m nerdy enough to consider getting this.

I was puzzled as to why I didn’t like the new Ford Mustang. I recalled seeing the concept version on display about a year ago and completely falling in love with it. It looked really agressive and retro, the direction that Ford should be taking it after the previous generation that was just horrible. So why then, after seeing the latest photos in magazines and driving by the Ford dealership, did it just look “eh” to me?
My biggest complaint about the previous Mustang was how plastic-y it looked. Something to do with the pronounced wheel arches and the tacky “Mustang” imprinted on the bumper. The new one gave off that same plastic vibe to me. But anyway, on to my results as to why the new Mustang just didn’t cut it for me.
To put it as simple as possible: They made changes. A lot. Here is a link to Dieselstation’s gallery of the 2005 Mustang GT Concept, and a gallery for the 2005 Mustang. Looks like I can’t link to the galleries directly. You can find your way.
- The taillights now more closely resemble the previous model’s, and the design of the exhausts being built into the bumper was returned to a more traditional design. Concept vs Production.
- The side vents have been removed, the rear side window is now actually a window, smaller wheels, front nose less angled and not as aggressive, and the body in general is “thinner” and sits higher off the ground. Concept vs Production.
- Hood scoops gone (excellent design on the concept, btw), front signal/fog lights changed, and the nose in general has more of a downward slope, again going back to the less-agressive stance they’ve given the Mustang. Concept vs Production.
To sum it up, this isn’t the same car I saw a year ago. Now that I’ve figured out why I don’t like it as much as I did a year ago, it really puts my mind at rest. Shame they didn’t go with the original concept though, it seems Ford thought it to be too radical and different and decided to go back to some more traditional workings, and thus some parts of the car slightly resemble the last generation’s.
Anyone wanna buy me the concept car?
My car had to go to the shop yesterday to get some things fixed with the front axle, so they gave me a loaner car for the day. A Hyundai Sonata V6 to be exact. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting; The Budget Rent-A-Car office they sent me to even has a Mini Cooper, but I didn’t see it there.
We’ll dispense with the details though. Headed out later that night with Richard and Tommy to…test the limits of the car. Slalomed in the parking lot of the Rose Bowl for a bit, then we tried to do a hard e-brake turn, which left all of us laughing and scared shitless that we were about the die after the car came to a stop from doing a 180 degree spin.
Most of the night though was spent trying to find an empty parking lot that would suit our needs, after police spotted us at the Rose Bowl after a mere 20 minutes and left us driving to Dodger Stadium, Church of Hope in Burbank, and finally settling on an abandoned K-Mart to test out our fun. J-turns (well, without the continue forward part), E-brake turns, donuts, and attempted burnouts and 0-60 that don’t work too well in a Hyundai Sonata.
It’s really scary when the back tires lock up and leave the car skidding, and the momentary loss of control just freaks you out. I just had to give the car some sharp turns on my way to return it this morning. Hyundai Sonata, you have served us well. Poor e-brake though.
I need to take out a rental car anytime I’m looking for some quick fun. For a while we just lined up runs to test what we could do to control the skid.
Jeopardy winner wages $1337. Sweet. This is from the college game, btw. Ken Jennings isn’t out yet.
I saw this over at Amanda’s blog first: US druggists refuse to give out birth control because of “moral values”. The title already says enough, but the article goes in-depth about how certain states are now allowing pharmacists to execute their own discretion at whether they will carry birth controls or not based on their own moral beliefs. If it’s not apparent, I’m fairly pro-choice when it comes to preventing accidental pregnancies. Amanda probably said it best:
Church and state are separate for a reason…its one of the founding ideas of our nation.
Although I do love Boing Boing’s closing line on their post:
Welcome to Jesusistan.

Alright, well everyone’s been talking about this wonder Tara Reid nipple slip, so I might as well post it for everyone with an entry from The Superficial. Here is the video of the now famous nipple, and notice how all the flash bulbs go off as soon as her dress comes off, and when her aide finally comes rushing to her, um, aide, the flashes stop immediately. Poor girl, so coked out she doesn’t even know her newly-bought boobs are out in the open.
Here’s the photos for anyone who wants to do an in-depth analysis.
While we’re at it, may I commend The Superficial for posting the greatest photo ever. For anyone who’s wondering, left to right, Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Gisele Bundchen
And for the record, Alessandra Ambrosio could possibly be the hottest woman on the planet.
