best line: “When he’s alone, it doesn’t bother me; he plays video games and I paint,” she said. “But when he’s with his friends and they play together, I think, ‘Why am I here?’ They make weird faces; their mouths start to hang open a little bit; their heads sort of go back and forth.” lollersville

“it was a ACCIDENT”
December 12th, 2004

watching men in black on cable — goddamn this movie is great. easily one of the best hollywood movies of the 90s, imho.

Zed: May I ask why you felt little Tiffany deserved to die?
James Edwards: Well, she was the only one that actually seemed dangerous at the time, sir.
Zed: How’d you come to that conclusion?
James Edwards: Well, first I was gonna pop this guy hanging from the street light, and I realized, y’know, he’s just working out. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin’ in the gym and bust me in my ass while I’m on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and I’m realizing, y’know, he’s not snarling, he’s sneezing. Y’know, ain’t no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I’m thinking, y’know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She’s about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I’d say she’s up to something. And to be honest, I’d appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it.
[pause]
James Edwards: Or do I owe her an apology?

(any implied connections between the kangaroo on this page and the fact that i am posting this from australia are purely coincidental, btw.)

for giant squid lovers everywhere
November 18th, 2004

The BBC reports, “Police in Peru have seized about 700kg of cocaine hidden in frozen giant squid bound for Mexico and the US. The drugs – worth about $17.5m – were sealed in several layers of plastic and other wrapping material and covered in pepper to divert sniffer dogs.”

funny, i often feel like a frozen giant squid mere hours after putting a substance that rhymes with “cocaine” up my nose.

halo 2 strategy-guide sells nearly as well as bill clinton’s “my life”
November 18th, 2004

from clive thompson’s blog:

“Here’s a neat cultural moment for you: The strategy guide for the video-game Halo 2 has become Random House’s fastest-selling nonfiction book since Bill Clinton’s My Life last summer. As Random House’s press release reports, the Halo 2 guide sold over 270,000 copies on its first day, Nov. 9. In comparison, Clinton’s book sold 400,000 copies on its initial day.”

conclusion: if “my life” had dual-wielding and xbox live support, it probably would have been the best selling non-fiction book of the decade.

what would a day be…

if you are on a pc and using the heaping pile of ogre feces known as “inernet explorer ” to view my site and/or the internet, now would be a good time to painlessly switch over to the free and wonderful browser known as firefox. seriously folks, do it, your life will improve dramatically.

so like, you want to give your mom a hug, but she lives in Beirut and you live in Minneapolis. what to do? use a remote-controlled pillow, of course.

yasser arafat is dead.
November 11th, 2004

fact: over the course of his presidency, bill clinton met with mr. arafat more times than he did with any other foreign leader. george w. bush, on the other hand, refused to ever meet mr. arafat from the day he took office because he disagreed with his policies.

can someone tell me what the shit is wrong with our president, and what we’re going to do about it? first one who says “move to canada” gets an anthrax sandwich.
