interwebs of teh week

Friday friday friday. been a productive week, methinks.

camilla parker-horseface? i like this one.
http://sidesalad.net/archives/002082.html

just been sifting through the spam to find things that are actually not spam (tech geek insert helpful comment in a patronising tone?)... some fantastic headlines this week-

"What ancients used to treat their bad health."
"Man born with two asses - Robocop is a gay"
"Bush ends Olympic games!"
"BREAKING NEWS: Police to Tackle Bike Crime with New ‘Indifferent Squad"
Batman & Robin: "We're gay"
"John McCain Takes the Olympic Gold in 'Gymnastics'"
"Come see our money party!"
"BREAKING NEWS: Pale, Hairless and Would Never Fit In Anyway"
"BREAKING NEWS: Mary-Kate Olsen guilty for Heath Ledger's death"

Going through the spam is not terribly healthy. Hope everyone is doing well, either enjoying the olympics or their ardent refusal to watch it because of all that human rights hoo-ha.
joking. as always.
I'd better do some real work.
adios.

P.S. Hang in there, Georgia. Both the friend from highschool (wherever she is) and the wee country. keep on trucking.

pragmatic solutions for modern living (a tribute to S. Grover)

So, I've been chilling with Matthew McConnaughey of late. That barrel-chested hunk of spunk. I think if we were all more like Matthew, the world would be a better place. Here's some tips on how to live a better life.
1. Wake up. Smoke bong (naked).
2. Play some motherfuckin' bongos (naked still).
3. Pump some iron.
4. Don hawaiian shirt and board shorts. If cold (e.g. shooting romantic comedy in Alaska), wear thermals underneath. ESPECIALLY long johns.
5. Continue to go about the day in a charming, carefree manner, punctuated by the occasional bong and bongo.

i've run out of tips. that's the long and short of it.
onto a different topic. i've moved into the city of late, not quite sure if the unadulterated rage is going to increase or decrease due to the shift. i'm hoping decrease. not having to freeze all the time from the valley chill is quite pleasant. also, i've started work at radio one, which means my life is once again filled with menial office tasks, but with this job I get to look down upon the common man with disdain from the balcony. w00t. Still chugging along with the university business, at a slow pace but chugging nonetheless.
Have been drawing comics, or at least attempting to. I'll post some when I'm near a scanner. PROMISE.
attention span is running out and hangover is setting in. UGH to white wine and cigarettes. both are bad, and super bad when combined. need better adjective than bad. i'm just way too alty to care right now. like. O. M. G.

right, i'm off to smash some holes in some box.
adios.

quarter-life crisis

well, not really. i mean, if this is a quarter life crisis, then i'm probably only going to live til 79 and a bit. is that a respectable age to die? actually with my road-crossing skills, i'll be lucky to make it to 20.
this virtual thing is getting to be more and more like real life, now that EVERYONE has a myspace/facebook/boringasssocialnetworkingsite, those of us who care about blog writing have about as much chance of having ours read as that dumb emo slut across the road who gives her opinion of the new panic at the disco album and how quirky/zany/alt it makes her feel. oh god, it's stuck in my head now. killllll.
on a lighter note, what i was blogging about was to say that everyone should do some spots and watch the muppets movie. the one from the late 70s. magical, i can't belive the muppets are intended for kids.
might start putting some dumb cartoons up here, once they're finished.
also, the first ingrates gig is next wednesday. i advise you come. or i'll cut the brakes in your car, chop off your ponytail while you're sleeping etc.
time to do radio! laters, fattycakes.
