Out Of Office


blog's on a break until i get back from all my visitational obligations... about a week, yeah? i think that's right.

not that hardly anybody is sitting around reading blogs/blogging this time of year anyway. you won't even miss me, you'll see!

i do have a BUNCH of stuff to talk about, though- that's the great thing about school breaks, is you have enough time to go out and have a life for a little while, and lo and behold, suddenly you have something to say! it's a Chrismukkah MIRACLE!!!

YOU DON'T TWEET EULOGIES!


poor brittany murphy died from who knows what this weekend, and dickhole ashton kutcher decided to offer up this little brown nugget on his twitter account:

"2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany’s family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon. see you on the other side kid."

he DATED her! he fucking dated her, and he's TWEETING this shit. i don't know what's wrong with some people. i mean, is it so fucking hard for a multi-millionaire to send flowers with a nice card that you have the room to spell out all the words on?

i was going to post the excellent brittany murphy thing they had on SNL's weekend update (a dead-on brutal impersonation) a few weeks ago, but of course now it's pulled from EVERYWHERE :-(

YOU, SIR, ARE NO GENTLEMAN!


just fucking awesome.

Swing Tree


discovery's 'swing tree.' i've listened to their entire album ("LP") three times today- a behavioral throwback to my teens and very early twenties. it's kind of nice to get hypnotized by music in an adolescent manner.

i'm under the impression that pretty much nobody that reads my blog likes my music posts, but i don't care. i'm doing them anyway!

here's some more:


"so insane," which boasts some neat tempo changes that makes it feel like there's a song within a song thing going on, which i enjoy.


"i wanna be your boyfriend," which combines a sample that sounds like it belongs on a hip-hop album (kelis, maybe?) with a mumbly, meandering almost conversational monologue of a vocal.

the album seems pretty straight forward on first listen, and it all seems pretty simple sonically, but i don't know... i really like it, and it's got more going on than i initially thought. *shrug* it's pretty sweet natured lyrically, too- unguarded and charming and it gets a LITTLE bit abstract at times, but not bang your head against the ground obtuse and pretentious, so that's nice.

OH YEAH! they have a neat cover of "i want you back" by the jackson 5. that's a good song- those motown svengalis knew what they were doing- a song that good is damn near impossible to fuck up too bad. it's got good bones.

BRONSON




It opens in Tucson tomorrow, and it looks fucking BRILLIANT. will let you guys know!

The BEST trailer for this movie is on Youtube, but for some reason the embedding has been disabled, but CLICK HERE to check it out.

By the way, Tom Hardy- the lead- is rumoured to be taking over for Mel Gibson in the Mad Max franchise's upcoming reanimation! you can tell from the preview that he just KILLS in this role, and i'm super excited to see more of him in the future.

Michael Jackson: Lover of Art, Very Small Children


Michael Jackson apparently had this commissioned in the late 90's.

There's poor judgement, there's wildly inappropriate, and somewhere way, WAY beyond that, there's MICHAEL JACKSON'S WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE POOR JUDGEMENT.

please note the be-winged toddler overdosing on GHB toward the bottom of the picture with his asshole pointing up towards Michael's albino crotch.

at this point, "Rest In Peace" seems needlessly kind.

YAY!

ROBZBERRY!!


my best friend rob came down to claim his birthday present this weekend. What did i get him, you ask? Why, i got him a Carol Channing ventriloquist's dummy, of COURSE!

I really like this picture of them together. rob looks so happy!

Carol, however, looks like she's going to come to life and eat people's faces off. which she very well may. we'll see.

Sleepyhead



Behold: Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead."

This song sounds AWESOME on headphones... it almost gives you a drug free body roll just listening to it. Also: hand clapping- i am for it.

Um...

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...

Hand-Raiser

You are 57% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 29% Brutal, and 29% Arrogant.


You are the Hand-Raiser, that annoying kid in class who always had an answer for everything. No doubt, as a child you probably sat in the front of the class, anxiously waving your hand back and forth in the air while your teacher desperately tried to avoid calling on you because you were the ONLY fucking kid that answered her questions. Clearly, the key traits of your personality are your rationality and your extroversion. You are like a little talkative calculator, in other words. You also tend to be rather gentle and less arrogant than most people. Your presence is a bane to everyone's existence, because you are too nice for your own good and you absolutely will not shut up. So what is your defect, then? Well, you're boring, and when you're not boring, you are just plain annoying with your ultra-logical responses and constant need to talk to others. So keep waving that hand in the air, son. I'm still not calling on you. You are too logical, you talk too much, and your humility and gentleness only makes me hate you more, because they make me feel like I almost SHOULDN'T hate you. But I do. Big time. And by the way, the more you wave your hand in class--your extended hand becoming nothing more than a blur as you insanely wave it, thinking we can't see it--the more smug satisfaction the teacher takes in watching the look of excrutiating pain cross your face as you agonize over not being called on, and the longer we'll wait to call on you, just because we absolutely love torturing you so.



To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.


Compatibility:


Your exact opposite is the Brute.

"As a child..."

HA!

There Are... NO WORDS...


I came out of my bedroom, errr, i mean the guest bedroom, to tell Germone that to get an A in my statistics class for the semester, i only need to get a 45% or higher on the non-cumulative final, and i found him preparing the ABOMINATION you see above. What THE FUCK is it, you ask? why, it's microwaved hotdog in corn tortilla with sour cream and hot sauce surprise, silly! AND when i asked him if he was going to put the saurkraut he's been having me pick up for him on it (just to be clear, i was openly disgusted at the idea, i wasn't making a suggestion) he was like "OH! that's SUCH a GOOD IDEA! but i'm out of it, but that would be AWESOME!"

He must be pregnant or something, and NO, it's NOT mine.

I Might Literally DIE


oh, jesus.

i went to school this morning for office hours, and i'd been awake since like, 3pm yesterday, stayed up all night studying. my class didn't let out tonight until 5:20pm, plus commute. Germone asked me if i wanted him to go get me a sandwich before he had class and i SERIOUSLY almost started crying i'm so (figuratively) cracked out. i looked at myself in the mirror, and i was like DAMN, self!

Just thought i'd share, because WE CAN'T ALL BE PRETTY, OK?

Teeeears of a Rapper....

Blogger isn't showing my world AIDS day post that i posted like 10 hours ago or something in the Dashboard Reading List thingy.

i love Flight of the Conchords.

World AIDS Day


So my thoughts are with those living with or otherwise affected by HIV/AIDS today, especially my homeslices at Northland Cares up in Prescott, which is the only real HIV/AIDS support serving Northern AZ and i believe some of southern NV and other areas. They do really great work with very little money, and they are struggling right now to continue to provide all of the services they want to provide- all of which are NEEDED services... Deciding what care to cut for budgetary reasons is kind of like deciding which one of your kids you would rather smother in their sleep or picking out which limb is the least necessary for your continued well-being. Anyway, I'm sure that most of you already give to the resources you're familiar with/live closest to, but on the off chance you have a little extra and are up to it, consider going to the Northland Cares Website to find out how you can support this extremely important resource that itself pretty much singlehandedly serves a VERY large, VERY underserved area.

Thank you and good evening. :-)

PS:

If you don't give generously, WONDER WOMAN MAY VERY WELL DIE!
