  • 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

    I’m sure I should probably post these on Preshrunk, but it’s not back up just yet. *shrug* It will be soon enough…

    1. Gravedigger’s Picnic
    2. Wu Members
    3. Johnny Cash Is A Gangsta
    4. Goatse
    5. Creative Commies

  • 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…

  • The Street Finds Its Own Use For Things

    Some of y’all might find this vacant billboard it to be a bit of an eyesore, but I rather enjoy how it’s been appropriated by the street art set.

  • Expired Film

    FYI: The 99 Cents Only Store is a wonderful place to pick up recently expired 35MM film. In fact, I just picked up 5 rolls of Fuji Superia [24 exposure, ISO 100] that had a “process before” date of September 2005 for 99 cents each.

    So while I do know that expired stock can give some funky results, I’m sort of curious as to how old the film should be before I start using it. You know, for maximum effect…

    Suggestions anyone?

  • Upgrades

    How mediocre a week are you having if the best part of it is that you’re thrilled that you woke up on Thanksgiving morning to find your phone has new firmare waiting to be installed on it?
