Which, in the grand scheme of things, is not that big of a deal.

ritard:

This disgruntled baby was staring at JJ and I for our entire breakfast on Sunday. This is him giving a judgmental sideways glance towards JJ. I could not stop laughing at him and I don’t think his parents appreciated it.

I have never received more continuous stinkeye than I did that morning.

The U.S. Government 2K9 Proudly Presents

The Get Your Unemployed Friend To Do That Program

Odds are, there’s some annoying errand you wanted to get done today but won’t because of your precious 9-to-5 job.

Odds are, you have an unemployed friend buried under a mountain of pizza boxes and X-Box controllers and depression and cat somewhere on the other side of town.

With the passage of legislation that will revolutionize the way we think about human capital and cost an unprecedented $0, the unemployed (pictured above) will become de facto assistants to any employed acquaintance, unable to refuse favors major or minor unless they’ve found a job or are already carrying out a task for another employed acquaintance.

It is hoped that the new program will cut down on muscle atrophy and the evening rush at the grocery store, all while not fomenting a violent class war.

Oh man, this is like my idea for a “life intern.”

- I like your nurses uniform, guy.

- These are O.R. scrubs.

- Oh, are they? … well, they’re totally inappropriate for the occasion.

Classic ten times over.

Need to watch this movie again. It’s been too long.

favorite.

Multiple people have told me that I look like Jason Schwartzman… I couldn’t see it until RIGHT NOW.

Got this email from James today...

“So Dan Reed, from Counterfit and Say Vinyl, decided to put out a rap record and it totally rules. He raps about iPhones (got an app for that), weed and shaking that ass at da club. His rap crew is called Ruff Justyce.

A natural disaster on the mic. A force to be reckoned with in the streets. A danger to your monogamous relationship. Leader of the Ruff Justyce crew. You can lock that deadbolt, but we comin’ in anyway.”

Amazing.

Philip Glass - Icct Hedral (Aphex Twin cover)

I have been listening to a lot of Philip Glass lately. I have a weird way of discovering new music. No real effort involved, I just kinda come across it. It’s like I just trust the world around me to act as a musical reddit. JJ is especially helpful.

I’ve had fantastic success so far by stumbling from artist to artist and this particular song is what turned me onto Philip Glass. I’ve been an Aphex Twin fan for a long time and Icct Hedral is one of my favorite Aphex songs, but I think this orchestrated version, which came on Aphex’s Donkey Rhubarb might actually be better than the original!

Crazy, I just woke up to Richard D. James Album!

I’ve been into Thomas Paine’s solo work recently. He pretty much influenced the whole scene.

Conservatism and the wii

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:12:12 -0400

JJ: Nintendo is the conservative's console of choice. every innovation improves without disorienting, and sticks to tried and true stories and characters while maintaining playability for all ages and skill levels.
JJ: (I just saw the trailer for the new mario on Wii)
JD: that probably also explains why it's so BORING and only two games with each console are actually worth playing
JD: BOO YAA SNAP ATTACK ZING YO FACE OFF
JJ: u r such a g4m3r.
JJ: you can borrow bite the hand that feeds you now if you wanna
JD: is that a new game for ps3?
JJ: yeah it's great, you're a mutant droid druid vampire who is trying to kill characters from the bible. it's a meta-1st person shooter. your job is to second guess the moves of your character.
