This looks good

I saw this movie last weekend. Between Obama/being sick/work I have been out of it. Anyways Charles Burns is one of my favorite graphic artists. Fear(s)of the Dark is worth seeing just for his short. Enjoy it on the post Halloween tip.

AMERICA...FUCK YEAH!!

2008-10-30T12:00:00.000-07:00

From the NYtimes today. I thought it was hilarious.

Here in Defiance — a town that sums up the mood of Senator John McCain right now – the Republican nominee gave a shoutout this morning to America’s most famous plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, who was, or so the candidate thought, in the audience.

“Joe’s with us today!’’ Mr. McCain hollered at a cold outdoor rally at Defiance Junior High School.

“Joe, where are you?

Where is Joe?

Is Joe here with us today?’’

Nothing.

“Joe, I thought you were here today,’’ Mr. McCain continued, with dimmed enthusiasm.

Still nothing. The crowd murmured.

“All right,’’ Mr. McCain said, realizing that Joe was nowhere to be found. “Well, you’re all the Joe the Plumbers! So all of you stand up and say’’ – Mr. McCain was interrupted here by cheers. “I thank you. You know, I saw Joe on television this morning, he did a great job. And wherever you are Joe, let’s give him a round of applause for what he has done for America.’’
-Elizabeth Bumiller

I made it into a haiku:

Joe where are you sir?
Is joe here with us today?
apparently, no

UPDATE!!!

It is even funnier and stranger and sadder then I expected

Eyes Without a Face

2008-10-28T09:07:00.000-07:00

Stayed up late last night watching the french horror classic "Eyes Without a Face".

The plot: An obsessed scientist and his assistant kidnap young girls for horrid face transplant experiments. The Scientist's daughter was disfigured in a car accident and as a result lost her face. He is determined to make her beautiful again.

There is one scene that is really genuinely shocking(especially for 1959). You wont look at skinless chicken breasts the same again. Even my smarmy self was like god damn!

Bonus: The graphic on the criterion collection DVD is amazing

Miles From India

2008-10-04T12:28:00.000-07:00

Last Night I got hooked up with free tickets to see the Indian fusion group "Miles from India" at Davis Symphony Hall. Many of the members played with Miles Davis and his legacy was felt strong. Think Bitches Brew late seventies coked out Miles Davis meets virtuosic Indian musicianship.

This video does little justice. Live,the sound was loud and amazing, especially the tabla. Speaking of which, Badal Roy the Tabla player was the shit. He looked like he was having the most fun out of the 11+ musicians on stage.

On a completely different note(nar)I remember watching this movie when I was eight and not liking it except for the chase scenes on the moped. I think I will give it another try soon. I'll keep you updated.

2008-03-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

I ve had the last week off from work, which is good, but I've been sick which is bad, but I've also been drinking and carousing heavily which is good, but I've not gotten better which is bad.

therefore

I stayed in the other night and watched this:

If you watch it listen for all of his throw-a-way lines really hilarious.

Plus you have a showcase of RATT's "Body Talk" That's the one that goes "Body talk/I want you body talk/lemme hear your body talk/ when you're next to me" Oh yeah

Last Thursday We went to hipster spring break...I mean the Justice show at the CDC. Wow! what a bunch of guppy ass mother fuckers. I am talking about the crowd. I like Justice that music makes me want to go wild and fuck shit up, but the

Bottom line is that ironic french dudes are cool, their nu rave fan base is fucking wack. Die! DIe! DIE!

This was out in full force. I was sad for my city

Just so you know I didn't take these pictures...I would give this dickheads the satisfaction of having my camera pointed in their direction. My lazy ass just googled "nu rave". What sucks now is when I search for "nude Paz Vega" Google is going to remind of these shit heads. Fuck. I especially like the dude on the bottom picture on the far right. No neck Joe!

I think this is what RATT had in mind when they wrote that song

Dont ask

Born in Silver Lake, NY, Timmy Cappello is a multi-talented and diverse as musicians come. I've heard him described as a "one man band" by some and others, as a "interchangeable but unforgettable musician." Some of the instruments in his repertoire include tenor saxophone, keyboards, percussion, and harmonica. Timmy is also a vocalist as well as a music composer.
His professional career began with none other than funny man, Billy Crystal. For five years, Timmy was Billy's accompanist. His musical improvisations on piano and saxophone along with Billy's comedy made them an engaging team. However, this was only the beginning for Timmy.
He went on to record and tour with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Eric Carmen, Carly Simon, and Ringo Star. However, one of the biggest breaks of Timmy's career began in 1984. He became a member of Tina Turner's band, in which he has been a key member ever since. Timmy was able to incorporate some of his skills, arranging music for the band. It was during his stint with TurnerHe has starred in several of Tina Turner's music videos, one being the hit single "We Don't Need Another Hero," the title track for the Mel Gibson-Tina Turner movie flick, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. From then on, Timmy acted in several films and television series, including Hearts of Fire (with Bob Dylan), Tap (with Gregory Hines), and The Lost Boys, in which he performed a single off of the movie soundtrack. Timmy's television credits include The Equalizer and Miami Vice.

Desmond, YOU are my Constant!

Desmond has always been my favorite Lost character. Hes kinda of an underdog and I always thought his backstory was really important...and now I know its true! Now if you will excuse me I have to go watch Mythbuster re-runs...nar.

What else? Well the Mad Decent blog came through with this gem:

Fuck Football! Its the Superbowl of Eatin!

My Brother sent me this book that he was all excited about. It arrived today and I decided to do a bit of "pre-reading." Lets see what I can learn...

used copy

hobos ?

Thanks for the book good lookin out on the literary tip!!

Okay I was looking around at all these old books that I used to pour over when my smarmy was in its infancy and came across this crusty old gem:

This book was published in...1947...It is written in French(rough translation...Globi-Dont leave him alone with your kids!), the left side of each page is frenchy style text but I am just sticking with the awesomely simple drawings. Next time you child asks you where does Globi come from you got it covered...here goes...

One day some little kids where looking for dinner...but they were dumb so they fell in the water.

Their little dog decided that the local crazy man was the best person to ask for help

he does have a boat..but..hey wait a minute that water isnt even that deep!

What the!? this is getting weird...what's in that pipe old man?

Hey kids seriously I am speaking from experience...dont go rummaging through old mens chests...

Get out of there Kids!!! What kind of old man keeps a feather in a box?

a feathery message from beyond the Grave!

No! its Globi!

I take back everything I said about this guy...he is my hero

I am hideous!!

"Hey I am a drawing that came to life after your magic feather came out of a box and drew me...what shall we do? Lets eat some cheese...now give me a hat!"

Is there anything this guy doesnt have in his chests?

The rest of the book are one page strips that give one more insight into the mind of

Globi...The Checker-Pant'd Parrot-Man!!

He is a fashionista

He is not a fraid to ask the swamy for help

He loves his bicycle

He is like a chocoholic but for alcohol

I also came across this book of Egytianbedtime stories:

No sleep for You

Thanks Mom!

Weird Weekend

2008-02-03T09:11:00.000-08:00

I stayed in last night and watched hours and hours of "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends" a BBC show hosted by Paul Theroux's son. Who's Paul Theroux? He wrote"The Mosquito Coast."

Louis travels to the United States(he's from Limeyville) and spends time with "wierd" sub-cultures that bubble below the mainstream. One episode he spends time with a group of swingers in LA, in another episode he goes to Idaho to meet some hard-core,right-wing survivalists who live in the ground.

His response to them: "oh! you live in a hobbit hole!"

You can check out all his episodes here .

Its been raining alot recently

Paul Hardcastle-Rainforest(extended version)

second grade...so young...full of potential...the world is my oyster...What happened?I got some new favorite pants..raw denim...stiff as boards...some people never wash them to maintain that "raw" look. Thats fucking gross. I lovingly bath mine in Fiji water and them gently massage them dry. LOOK WHAT I MADE vol3

Chicago style and bacon wrapped with grilled onions.

Chicago style =relish, mustard, tomato,pickle,sportpeppers", salt and pepper. No catsup!!! Make sure you get the kosher hotdogs, light on the pig lips and turkey anus.

Bacon wrapped= Wrap the hot dog in bacon, grill the onion as the bacon cooks hugging the hot dog that way everything tastes like bacon. Smother in catsup!!

It was so good I passed out as I ate it

when I came to...all that was left was a single relish cube

Apparently this song is huge in Europe(hmmm thats strange, who would have thought...weird). So if you read this and are in Europe yawn all day long my friend. If you like your rave "nu" crank dat bass and have a good time.

I'll take two!!!

2008-01-14T20:35:00.000-08:00

Back to work today...not really so bad but it gets me thinking about things I would rather be doing then having to be in one place for 8 hours....I wonder?.....

-making pizza

-gathering all the discarded christmas trees on the street and setting them on fire

-setting off illegal fire works

-go undercover to help solve crimes; receive a medal

-build and live in one of these: Read about it here

-Get really good at Rummikube (this game is weird I heard about the first time two weeks ago and them my friend got back from vacation was like "look at what I got from my family...Rummikube!"...I turn on the TV and what is Anthony Bordain playing in Berlin? Rummikube!) The game is boss. Dont play on the sticky icky...you will lose

-Finally see this again. The verdict? Clean, flat, touching, funny, real lots of neat sillouette and black and white tricks. Best version of "Eye of the Tiger" Ever

2008-01-13T13:18:00.000-08:00

All the pictures looked 20years old. This Burro was shot and in shock just standing in the middle of the road. We literally had to nudge it with the bus

First of all, I made this it was really good. Look at that Bok Choy man! God damn that's succulent!

I pulled the turntables out of storage the other night. What a good idea! I thought they were totally broken, but after I smacked them around a little bit they got in line and did what I wanted them to do. They were a little off, but who cares? Wikkkie wikkie

Even C-rza brought the heat!

" Broke-ass Daft Punk"

We had to get up early the next morning to catch a damn boat. "Oh my aching head!"

We saw alive deer...

We eat so many Shrimp

2007-12-02T11:18:00.000-08:00

I went to see Electroma last night with G---- and C-------. It has an extremely linear story about two robots who drive around the SW united states in a fly ass whip with the license plate "HUMAN". Who are they? Where are they going? What do they want? How can I get a car like that?

C------ fell asleep, and I cant really blame her. This movie is slow and a little challenging at some parts, but like a good Daft Punk song it is crisp, has no filler and seems like it was made by some emo robots. Plus just when you think it is getting too long it ends...always a good thing

Here is a clip from an early scene(no spoilers). You can get a sense of what you are in for. There is no Daft Punk music in the movie, but there is one of my favorite Curtis Mayfield songs and alot of other unexpected musical choices(Todd Rundgren! I might be heading to the dollar bin later). If you get a chance, go see it. Electroma is touching and poignant.

Okay Now for another instalment of :LOOK WHAT I MADE

This week it's Panko Fried Shrimp.

Gather your ingredients, Shrimp, one egg severely abused, flour and panko bread crumbs.

Make sure you shrimps are pealed and de-veined. "Shrimp are not expensive/they just labor intensive"

I leave the tails on, dip them in egg

Dip them in flour and Panko and then in drop in hot vegetable oil for a few minutes (not shown, I only got two hands). Use your imagination

SHAZAAM!

We eat so many shrimp

It is good to have a balanced diet that's why I want you to look at my Bok Choy.

I gots to do some dishes

2007-11-29T17:07:00.000-08:00

So I watched the Republican Debate last night. I was hoping they would ask my question: " Who would win in a fight, Fred Thompson or The Thing?"

Ha ha Trick question...they're the same person! SNAP!

I had some observations about last nights youtubery:

1) All republicans are dicks. The group represented a wide range of dickery. From Mit "I would own slave if I could" Romney. To Fred "I will talk shit to mask my idiotic demeanor" Thompson. Even Anderson Cooper had to say "what is up with that?" Oh dont forget Rudy"Waaa I gotta have the last word because I'm a cry baby" Giuliani

2) Nobody acknowledged Chuck Norris in the Audience. I think that Chuck Norris needs acknowledgment. If it wasn't for him Texas would be over run with karate chopping drug runners.

3) They are all old white men. Is this a trend that I have missed? What the hell is going on? weird

4) Mit Romney hates gays. Like, he really hates them.

If any of those guys end up in charge I am moving to Canada. I am looking at Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto. I've been to all three. I really like Montreal for the Bagels, Vancouver for the scenery and proximity to shit(thats important) but most of all Toronto because then I can watch Kenny Vs Spenny live...like outside of their house...in the bushes. I have been preaching the wonders of this show for a year now. Now that it has been picked up by those bastards at Comedy Central, I expected it to turn all lame-o but so far it has kept its hilarity.

If you dont know KvS is about two best friends who...just read about it on there website:

"Kenny and Spenny are two best friends who compete against each other. Their competitions are ridiculous, immature and totally intense."

Basically Kenny cheats and messes with Spenny and it is hilarious. He talks alot about his mom. Recently the messing with has been upped due to the fact that (I surmise) Kenny has to one up himself. For example during the "Who can wear a dead octopus on their head for longer" Kenny dosed Spenny with LSD. For the boxing competition Kenny decided instead of fighting Spenny he would lock him in a closet for a few days and then go cut a rug at Niagara falls.

I am now going to cash my Comedy Central checks.

Bye

I am not the average Mother Fucker!
