i remember sneaking into an andrew dice clay movie when i was like 12, but the experience was nowhere near as stupendously awesome as this twenty second clip on cnn.

i’m pretty sure i’ve noticed a direct correlation between the health of my plants (all two of them: one at home, one at work) and myself. any reminders to water my plants would be greatly appreciated, natch. by the way, the office has me soiling my undergarments like they’re going out of style. (which they are, as i haven’t bought new underwear since the taft administration.)

cono, mi amigo juan navarro tine un pagina de blog in el internet!

check out my new friend robosapien. (s)he’s smart, outgoing, never judges me, and has questionable taiwanese circutry for a heart. (s)he needs to find something to do besides stare longingly at my genitals, however.

this “about me” post from my friend erlene on her live journal had me lol-erskating all over the place. (it’s comedy gold, despite the fact that she’s not a jew, a black, or a canadian — the funniest people, hands down.)

one of the best videogame ads of all-time. playstation, circa 1999. conquering worlds.

if you value this friendship at all then you will prove so by paying excessive shipping costs on top of an already awful pound-to-dollar exchange rate. i’ll take one of everything. (thanks in advance).

big ups to moms for holding it down and keeping the damn dirty republicans in check. the new york times motherbitches! moms is famous.

Group Says Ads for 9/11 Film Violate Law
June 25, 2004
By FELICIA R. LEE

The bumpy ride into theaters for the Michael Moore
documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” continued yesterday, as a
conservative group called for an investigation into whether
the television advertisements for the film violated the
campaign finance law.

And because of a technical error, the film, which is rated
R, was presented yesterday as being rated NC-17, which bars
viewers under 17, to thousands of callers to the 777-FILM
ticket service and users of Moviefone.com. Just three days
ago, the film’s distributor lost a battle to get the rating
changed to PG-13. The film opens nationwide today.

The ratings problem lasted about six hours, said John
Angelo, a spokesman for Moviefone.

Despite the ratings mix-up, the film has accounted for
about 40 percent of ticket sales, Mr. Angelo said. The
film, which critiques President Bush’s actions surrounding
the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, is being marketed
as both entertaining and politically provocative. It has
generated intense mobilization on each side of the
political fence.

So when Rona Shamoon, a lawyer who lives in Scarsdale,
N.Y., called 777-FILM and was told that “Fahrenheit 9/11”
was rated NC-17, “What went through my mind is, ‘Someone is
trying to keep people from seeing this film.’ “

hung out with che last night, somehow got crunk after like four drinks, mostly due to the fact that i didn’t manage to eat dinner before going out. also smoked weed for the first time in almost two months (note: smoking weed gets you high.) yo i’ve decided hangovers are definitely the best things.

holy best game ever: N. it’s like lode runner meets the graduate meets the unbearable lightness of being! mostly like lode runner though.

in case you’re planning ahead, i’ve got my fingers crossed that someone buys me a dirty bomb detector for my birthday this year.

so i just found out that my neighbor is a thirtysomething german guy who spends his entire week working in dallas (he’s only here on weekends), makes electronic music (direct quote: “I love techno!”), and lives with his hot girlfriend. i let them borrow my chapelle show dvd, which will hopefully be returned to me, along with holocaust reparations and ideally some sort of monetary refund for my recently-purchased volkswagen GTI, which seems to have some sort of farfegnugen imbalance whereby everything that can possibly break does, in fact, break. (totally kidding about the holocaust bit, i love germans and their brutal efficiency.)

“According to Stars and Stripes Pacific’s translation of a North Korean government newspaper article, UbiSoft’s forthcoming Ghost Recon 2 videogame, which envisions a near-future North Korea/China conflict with US involvement, has already attracted the reclusive country’s attention. In a curt review, a North Korean government-run newspaper called the game proof of U.S. warmongering. ‘Through propaganda, entertainment and movies,’ read a recent online commentary in the Tongil Newspaper. Americans ‘have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths.’ Given the steep learning curve of previous incarnations of Ghost Recon, it’s conceivable many may face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths anyhow.” Thanks to slashdot.

the US army has set up a video game studio to model training and recruit soldiers on the heels of the successful America’s Army title. who do you want to kill today?

washington post interview with shigeru miyamoto: shiggy

double double on the robotniks today…big ups to the cyber ninja for the linkage action. do your flux capacitors a favor and tune in, bitches: who’s we and tetsoo. off the hook.

i’m watching the commentary for this nas videos dvd i copped recently, and nas just said, regarding the video for his song nastradamus: “we had this idea man, it was the year 2000 comin on, and nostradamus was this cat who was predicting shit to happen around the year 2000.” end of story. my brother mark: “i think nas is burnt out, man.”

yo, after this weekend, i’ve decided i’m going to start a magazine called Indoors Magazine. it’ll be filled with interesting articles about the exciting world of the Indoors, digressions about Indoor sports and events, and beautiful color photography of people engaged in Indoor activities (watching TV, cleaning the sink, sleeping).
so just watched pirates of the caribbean, which i enjoyed, and which also served to further my suspicion that every pirate movie ever put on celluloid has a deeply-rooted homosexual subtext.
