Jan 18 2012, this is kind of embarrassing to report, but, i have noticed that some karaoke videos on youtube are no longer avail. not sure if this has anything to do with the internet law thing going on, but, if this is a sign then the internet will become less fun.
Jan 16 2012, watching godard’s latest “film socialism” on instant netflix, which takes place on a cruise ship, the same cruise ship that is now all over the news.
Jan 10 2012, i have 99 problems but a mouse ain’t one.
The rule is a question of culture, the exception a question of art. Everyone speaks the rule: cigarettes, computers, t-shirts, tourism, war. No-one speaks the exception. It cannot be spoken. It can be written: Flaubert, Dostoyesvsky. It can be composed: Gershwin, Mozart. It can be painted: Cezanne, Vermeer. It can be filmed: Antonioni, Vigo. Or it can be lived, and is thus called the art of living: Srebenica, Mostar, Sarajevo. It is part of the rules to want the death of the exception. It is the rule of European culture to organise the death of the art of living.

Girl #1 (wearing a tight short skirt): I have little chicken legs. I can’t keep up.
Girl #2: I would love to have those little chicken legs.
Me (in my head): I think your skirt is too tight that it’s hampering how you walk… FYI.

I was re-arranging some books earlier today and a couple of old drawings I did while at work in the mailroom of an illustration agency fell out of one of the books. It was one of the only jobs I ever had where I didn’t feel guilty drawing on the job since I felt that it was semi work-related.
