If I would have had the Hipster Bingo card with me when I went down Commercial Drive today, I would have got a blackout. Bingo!
This picture has absolutely nothing to do with the post. It’s just a fine looking ass.
The folks at skinema.com (a fascinating website about dermatology in the cinema) bring you the Dermatrix. The Dermatrix is an examination of all the skin conditions that exist within the Matrix movies. This can include skin conditions by the actors themselves or simulated skin conditions for the sake of drama. Enter the Dermatrix.
Every ending to every 80’s film you’ve ever seen shoehorned into a 6.5 minute film. No really. Watch this masterpeice. Quicktime required.
When Elvis died in 1977 was hardly in the best shape of his life. He was fat and full of perscription drugs. See him try and get through “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”. Requires Windows Media Player.
Also as per request. The speech I read at the wedding I attended this weekend. BTW, congrats Joel & Anja
By request. Watch the dancing dog video in Realvideo or Windows Media
So I’ve gone to the gym. Usually my work outs consist of running outside follows by a mixture of push-ups and sit-ups at home. Went to the Britannia Community Centre nearby and paid money for a daypass. I tried to go last week but was intimidated when I went looked inside and saw a variety of different machines and people who looked like they knew what they were doing.
I started out on the elliptical step-machine thing and did that for about 10 or 15 minutes before I decided I didn’t like it. However, the neat things were all the buttons that you can use to customize your workout by speed or tension. The handlebars also measure your heart-rate and periodically tell to “slow down, motherfucker” or something to the extent.
The treadmills were the shit. It took a bit of getting used to but once I got going I really enjoyed it. They also had the same variety of buttons. I went at speed 7 for about 15 minutes which is pretty good I guess because that motherfucker beside me was only doing speed 5 and the lady who came after him was pretty much walking it at speed 3. You gotta work that ass, bitch!
I dabbled with the weights for a bit but am still a bit unsure on the proper combination and reps for a proper workout. I’m definitely going to get a monthly pass come August.
They were even playing The Beat 94.5 FM. It’s the local Hip-Hop and R&B station I usually listen to while jogging. So I guess that alleviates the need to bring my crappy FM radio. Great.
Work that shit!
I guess something got lost in the translation of these jokes from their native Korean to English. I’m still scratching my head and can’t figure out exactly what a “wen” is and why Kim Jong-il has two of them.
This came up during a Google image search for “Wen”. Why would Kim Jong-Il have two sanders?
This morally questionable blog is written by two special education teachers featuring stories about some of their students. It is a guilty pleasure to read this page. It’s also fascinating if you’ve never worked in that environment before. Worth a read. While I could post a picture of one of the students, I won’t. That would be in poor taste. Here is a picture of an avocado instead.
While far from being a homeowner at this point in my life, it is good to know that if I ever wanted to live in a cold-war era missile base I could. And at very affordable prices. They are fixer-uppers after suffering from 30 years of neglect but they are very solid and warm in the winter.

This is the website all about dancing with your cat. I don’t know about your cat but the cat I co-habitate with is far from cooperative and would most likely scratch out my eyeballs than dance with me. If you can get a hold of the book “Dancing With Cats” do so.
dance, motherfucker, dance!

After A Tribe Called Quest broke up after 1998’s The Love Movement album, Q-Tip released his first solo album the jiggified Amplified shortly afterwards. While this get him a hit single with “Vivrant Thing”, it managed to alienate most ATCQ fans.
Unknown to most Q-Tip has completed a second album called “Kamaal The Abstract”. However this album will probably never see the light of day because it has been canned by his record company Arista. Having had the opportunity to listen to the album I can understand why. It simply is not a hip-hop album. It has more in common with Prince than Digable Planets. This is not to say it is not a good album. On its’ own it stands up fairly well. But because it is so left-field Arista simply did not know how to market it. Most ATCQ fans will be baffled, most Hip-Hop fans will be pissed because he doesn’t really rap much (if at all) on the album, and most Jazz-heads really don’t take a hip-hop MC trying his take at Jazz-rock seriously.
It did get released for review to several music stations but after mixed reviews Arista canned it. I think it’s an interesting album that I hope will get released at one point in the future. I just hope that Q-Tip does continue down this path for his next album and doesn’t get discouraged by all of this.

The RIAA in a move to alienate and scare the rest of its’ customers have decided to brandish litany like a whiffle bat and sue any people caught file-sharing anything that falls within its’ jurisdiction. My Take: This is really a bad move and I think it will not stem the tide of file sharing until they can offer a competitive and convenient alternative. In fact, according to a Washington Post article file-sharing is on the rise. While some of this can be attributed to the looting mentality, I don’t think that the mindset can be changed only the means of distribution.
Apple Computer has taken the initiative by providing an easy (provided you have a credit card with a US billing address and an Macintosh running Mac OS 10.2) alternative to downloading music. At 99¬¢ per track it’s cheap enough to warrant.
Emusic has also a very competitive plan if you are looking for things under the radar. Emusic features a wide variety of independent labels and artists for unlimited downloading in a monthly subscription payment plan. Their downloading tool works on all platforms (Mac, Windows, and Linux).
As for file-sharing programs, one of the best resources on the net is Zeropaid. Zeropaid is an information resource for file-sharing and the issues surrounding it.
Word of caution On two different occasions, two people I know have been almost been burned by the Direct Connect network. In both instances it involved the scanning of their shared directories filled with movies and tv shows. So the lesson is: a) There are better ways to download tv shows and movies. b) anonymous file-sharing is the ticket.
ouch!
Barry White has passed away at the age of 58. This man single-handedly is responsible for most of the world getting their freak on. It ’s truly a shame that someone like him passes away and Aerosmith are still putting out albums. To the man whose voice launched thousands of “make-out” mixes, we will miss you. Here’s to you, Barry.
Barry is not a man to be fucked with.
Just came back from my sister’s wedding. Shook hands, hugged and kisses complete strangers. I also gave a pretty lousy toast to my sister. It was fun though. Fun like touch football or the electric boogaloo. Here’s to Megan & Tony.
None of these people are me or my relatives
