See your favourite North American celebrities supplimenting their already healthy income by doing commercials in Japan. Featuring a series of Brad Pitt blue jeans commercials and most bizzare of all Andy Warhol in a commercial selling video tapes.
Andy still thinks it’s art
Go get em, tiger
Take the quiz. See if you know your Koons from your Klee. I did and got 12 points out of a possible 16. Well I guess I may as well throw out that Bachelor of Fine Arts degree of mine.
Art or Crap
Due to too much drama, my mind has been preoccupied and thus no posts in the last few days. Here are two photos for you to enjoy.
Picture of me and the room-mate’s cat.

Abortion. You’re either for it or against it. The Pro-Life crowd can be very vocal in their opposition, however I had no idea exactly how vocal they can be. The folks at AbortionIsMurder.org have put out an 11-track CD re-enforcing the Pro-Life message. It features such songs as, “I Can’t Wait to See Your Face”, “Silent Cry”, and “Thank you for me.” The 80’s production quality may be evident, but the message is clear: everyone likes a good tune. Even if it’s sung from the perspective of an aborted fetus.
Regardless of your politics, that red jacket is Fantastic!
I like cats and sometimes dogs. I’m certainly by no stretch of the imagination an animal-hater. But there is a fine line between having a pet in your life and having a pet be your life. After visiting Pet Obsessed it became clear to me that the line wasn’t as vague as I had thought.
My owner is also fluent in Klingon
Pixelcreation has a small gallery of Chinese advertistments from the 20’s and 30’s. They are quite intersting and beautiful to look at. The site is in French so if you are fluent, check out the rest of the it. Tres bien!
So I did it. I went out and bought the 10gb iPod yesterday and it’s great. Not only is it a nice external hard drive that I can put all my files onto, it plays my music. Transferring the music to it is stupidly fast and it charges right from the firewire cable. I’m still waiting on getting a proper case for it. Hopefully a Marware sports sleeve but we’ll see. The best part is that it will replace both my old portable CD player and my Palm Pilot which I’ll sell on ebay once I get that set up.
Shazam!
Draw a picture with web-based drawing tools that make MS Paint look like PhotoShop. Then put you name and sit back and wait for the accolades to come in. At least that’s the plan. If you see me on the cover of Artforum, you’ll know why. Note: The website doesn’t play friendly with my web browser of choice. Your mileage may vary.
Move over Damien Hirst, you fucking chump!!
Well there’s the iPod and then there’s this. A portable MP3 player built into the ammunition magazine of a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Holds 20GB and is stainless steel and a USB 2 interface for fast transfer. Also sports an internal lithium battery for up to 10 hours of playback and anti-shock protection. Makes a great accessory for a camouflage bikini.
Yowsa!
Brandon Bird is a painter from Sacremento whose infuses his paintings with pop culture images in a variety of different circumstances. Where else will you see the Family Ties family done cubist style, a dinosaur battle a whale and a giant squid, and the Dukes of hazzard done cave painting style.

I’ve flown on airplanes often, but really only Air Canada or Westjet so I don’t really know what food I’ve been missing on international flights. Well I can rest assured that I can now make travel plans based on the best meal thanks to airlinemeals.net
I won’t be flying on Xiamen Airlines soon
They just don’t make manifestoes like they used to. Sure the Italian Futurists were proto-fascist and blatantly misogynist, but they did know how to have a good time and to stir shit up. Featuring all your favorites like: The Founding Manifesto, The Art of Noises, and The Destruction of Syntax. Enjoy!
Who knew? I certainly didn’t. I thought the Grouse Grind was going to be a walk in the park not 2.9 kilometres of 45 degree climbing. I was sweaty, I thought I was going to die and I still hadn’t finished one-quarter of it. It’s not a workout like jogging at all. I can jog in my fucking sleep. This made my legs feel like they were going to fall off and humbled me beyond belief.
Don’t know why I did it. Something to do for kicks, I suppose. Maybe bragging rights. Then again it’s difficult to brag when 100,000 motherfuckers climb this son-of-a-bitch every year. The assholes run up it!
Will I do it again? Not in the near future. The best part is coming down on the gondola. Not only is it quicker, but you get to see far you climbed up and laugh at the chumps on their way up.
Imagine this….going on forever
The Central Minnesota Ghostbusters, that’s who. Featuring “real working devices” like their proton vac. Don’t worry about the price, they’re non-profit organization and completely confidential.
“Call us, we’re ready to believe you.”
No Pants Day 2003 is on Friday, May 2nd and l at least the weather will be nice. However, I the world is ready to see my pasty white legs. If you feel in the spirit, visit the official site for more info.
