  • SNA to OAK

    Look out San Francisco, I’m headed straight for you… Well, actually since I’m staying over at Click’s place I guess I’ll offically be in Oakland.

    *shrug* Let’s not worry about the technicalities, okay?

    The only plans I’ve made so far is going to Flickr’s Birthday Party on Saturday night and hanging out with click for a bit over the weekend. Everything else is sort of nebulous.

    So what am I getting at? Well, if any of you would like to hang out while I’m in town, drop me a line [or leave me a comment] and I’ll try to make some time for y’all.

    Who knows… Maybe I’ll get to hang with some people I haven’t seen in a bit. At least I hope that’s what happens.

    “We learned something from the hippies that, unfortunately, the punks at the same time didn’t learn, and that is that rebellion is obsolete. In a healthy capitalistic world, rebellion is just something else to market.”

  • Fame

    “The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.”

  • New Year, New Crush

    You’ll have to pardon my lack of entries lately. I’ve been off fantasizing about Liz White from BBC’s Life On Mars. *swoon*

  • Top 5 T-Shirts Of 2005

  • Top 5 Comestibles Of 2005

    1. Henry’s Turkey on Wheat Roll
    As far as I’m concerned the sandwiches from Wild Oats sister market Henry’s could kick the ass of Quiznos and Subway any day of the week.
    2. Naked Juice Blue Machine
    This is the year I fell in love with Naked Juice. And while I love more flavors than I care to count, Blue Machine is by far the best one of the bunch.
    3. Honest Tea Vanilla Mint White Tea
    Were it not for Matt I’d have never known about this brand of tea that sells their beverages “just a tad sweet”. Danke, Mr. Haughey.
    4. Have’A Corn Chips
    A lot of people are curious when I tell them that Have’A Corn Chips aren’t actually salted but seasoned with soy sauce and lime juice. Then I let them try one. Shortly thereafter I have to fight them off so they don’t steal my bag.
    5. Swingers Jerk Chicken Omelet
    Trust me, it’s as good as it sounds. I just wish they’d open a Swingers in OC so I didn’t have to drive out to Hollywood to get my fix.

    What food and drink kept you running during 2005?

  • Pitchfork Friendly Band Names

    • Lorem Ipsum
    • Scooter Libby
    • You Guys Are No Fun Anymore
    • Sandy Duncan’s Eye
    • A Triumph Corollary
    • Mercy Killing At The Mall
    • Modern Danza
    • Self-Titled

    P.S. Yes, I’m aware Sandy Duncan’s Eye was a band in the early 90’s that had something to do with Steve Albini. It’s just, well, I really like the name.
    P.P.S. I stole some of these from Iamrob, squant, infernauta, mantid and regnad_kcin. Thanks guys!

  • Shabu Shabu

    Charlotte: That was the worst lunch.
    Bob: The worst. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?

    Actually, it was pretty damn good… But every time I have Shabu Shabu this quote resonates thru my head.

  • The Wisdom Of Eight Year Olds

    Q: Imagine you are in a metal box. How do you get out?
    A: Stop imagining it. [via]

    Projects are in the works. Therefore, my silence.

    Once you see what I’ve got up my sleeve, you’ll hopefully think that all of the quiet is worth it. *shrug* We’ll know soon enough…
