This would be my car from four different angles. Notice that there are no tires. That's because somebody stole them. All of them. Broke into the car, popped my trunk, and then used my jack to steal them. They were nice enough to leave all 16 lug nuts, though.

Waking up to that plus a massive hangover has made today rule!

well since i now own the site by rule of "threes" i might as well spout off at the mouth.

i cant seem to escape purple rain or prince. i seemed to like the super bowl performance even though i did not see it live. i keep telling myself maybe i will download some prince, i mean there is the whole chappelle basketball thing, too.

aside from that things get kinda awkward kinda fast. i tend to look through my magazines rather than read them. when i do this i am armed with a pen and a pad of paper and i take notes of photographers (re: norfolk) and journalists who have work that catches my eye so that i may pursue them on the internet. some of the magazines are wired, time, esquire and the sunday nytimes insert. the magazine reason, of which i am a subscriber, i tend to just save. the others i do the read, note, throw out thing. however, i have a little bit of a feud going with them. i signed up for their magazine and did it through an offer to receive a book with the subscription as a promo. i have not got the book to date and i believe i have been a subscriber for almost two years. when i emailed them about it the first time i said my subscription included a "free" book which i had never received. they told me my subscription did not show such an offer. i then realized it was not "free" but paid for with the subscription as a special offer, so i just showed them the receipt email. they must have flagged me as ignorant because i am not getting this book. when they said they would send it right away and it would take 6-8 weeks i was happy. 8 weeks went by and i sent a quick email with the past correspondence in tact explaining that 8 weeks and no book. i got this back "we will send the book under different cover." are they implying that someone took my mail? i am not totally sure but we are 3 weeks in and i do not have the book yet. would you not be frustrated, is this any way to run a business? ugh.

where was i. ah clippings. so today i make it a goal to look at some of the articles i printed out. i throw out the magazines and print out the online versions, i dont know, who the fuck has the time to sit down and read a magazine. so i go to lee's sushi in wayne on 23 by bachagaloops, im the only one there, and i take my sweet ass time fooding and reading "i am banksy (artist of the year) the best and brightest 2005 (art & entertainment) by colby buzzell" from volume 144 issue 6 december 2005 of esquire. sad. that there is a good read. it opened my eyes to a book called "happy birthday, jack nicholson" by hunter thompson, that i never heard of and apparently was only available in london. then there is this, this and this. i mean, you have probably seen and heard of banksy's work before, but these two pieces have special mention in that particular article and story. i would like to buy the book existencilism by banksy from amazon, but they only have one seller offering a used copy for 450 dollars.

you do understand it is just something to write about. check out my awesome watch:
diamonds, plenty of 'em. f pns cameras. though i might not be able to operate anything otherwise. curses ryerson.

so are we done? i got all excited about that every extend extra game and have not played it since. i am far from done with it though. it is just really hard to justify spending time on stuff like that lately. i feel it's running the hell out. some more of me and my jammy dance after the jump.

so im watching charmed and reading time when i come across this quote in the verbatim section of the magazine:

"'These are ugly decisions, but you either drink water or you die.'
-Peter Beattie, Premier of Queensland, Australia, who announced that owing to falling water levels--a result of the country's worst drought on record--the state will introduce drinking water containing recycled sewage water, starting next year"

cheers!
hahahah

sony is an interesting company. i am assuming their marketing crew is a group of unusual people. pre-holidays this season they attempted some viral campaign which was laughable. but they attempted it. it seems there is a creative freedom encouraged throughout the organization, possibly to a fault. i mean, that commercial was bad, and i think ive seen some other bad stuff. however sony has brought out some software i may have never seen. im talking rez, lumines, katamari, mister mosquito etc.

recently i took a look at my psp and decided to catch up on whatever the latest tinkerers were doing to the device. i found out that i can take any playstation one game, rip it to my computer, run it through a program and create a file uploadable to my psp to take my ps one games anywhere. ive done it. but that is not all.

i got into this game every extend extra. it is a game from q entertainment. this company makes such esoteric titles as listed above, rez, lumines, space channel 5, meteos, etc. i have only experieced rez and lumines. but this one. this one is great. i havent been playing games recently and i call it a game carefully. it is a virtual canvas of audio and color. i want you to play it. i want you to enjoy it. like i enjoy it. but we all have dreams. just look at the box, it is a remarkable piece of product design. tetsuya mizuguchi.
