OH HI

I made a new mix(tape) this weekend called “Illusory Terrain.” It’s over at merit/demerit which is an excellent music web site that there is nothing at all wrong with. Go and download! CHOOSE LIFE!

I also want to recommend “037 by keith” which is great and any mix by my good friend Russell but especially 001 (which turned me on to Empire of the Sun) but ESPECIALLY any of them because they are solid.

I got this awesome camera for my vacation (pictured above). Here’s my micro review of this camera—the Kodak Funsaver ISO 800.

PROS:

Take pictures of ANYTHING YOU WANT.
Handsome ORANGE COLOR!
Has a FLASH for DARK OR DIMLY LIT ENVIRONMENTS! (WHAAAAT!)

CONS:

27 pictures means that there are two pictures of me eating a steak early in the week and zero pictures of me standing next to dinosaurs in the Natural History Museum later in the week. (PRO: That steak was effing DYNAMITE!!!)
I accidentally took a picture of the inside of my pocket (which might be a pro, I mean, I haven’t seen the pictures yet so who knows). Hint for Kodak—maybe make a button that’s harder to press! Or perhaps a big lever? BREAK THE MOLD KODAK!!!
UNABLE TO REVIEW PICTURE QUALITY! (Because I haven’t seen the pictures yet). It takes Walgreens all day to make the pictures come out of the camera! (CONFUSING!)

Anyways, the price of this camera caught my attention but for the style alone, I say that this one is a BUY.

Be right back!

OKAY this one has been suppressed pretty deep for some time now but it came back to me on Friday when I was riding my bike. We’re digging into the tweenage misery motherlode here. This is a story from SIXTH GRADE.

When I was in sixth grade, I was the smallest boy in my class. I had a huge crush on a tomboyish blonde girl who we’ll call Lauren F for the sake of anonymity.

They split girls and boys up for gym class usually. A lot of the boy activities were barbarian paincrafts like dodgeboll. I remember the wrestling unit in gym lasted a lot longer than the other units. If I recall correctly, the girls were doing something pretty abstract—like “team building.” It looked like a lot of trust falls and sitting in circles.

Lauren F was pretty vocal about it not being fair that girls could not do something fun (RIDICULOUS because I have sat in a circle and it is AWESOME). She was a pretty sassy 12-year old and wouldn’t let it go. Someone somehow planted the meme in the class that Lauren F should wrestle me. I suspect this was the evil machinations of my friend Will. The gym teacher (also my neighbor) conceded.

Ridiculously, I consented. There was a lot of pressure and I misinterpreted the situation as harmless flirtation. “Cherchez la femme.” My memory blacks out here. The next thing I remember is our bodies meeting on the sour gym mats, locked in a greco-roman tableau. (Looking back, I can’t believe how completely messed up this is).

I realized I had no idea where to put my hands on a female girl that would not end up making her pregnant (sex ed wasn’t for another few months). My survival instincts kicked in and I felt the distinct desire to throw up and then maybe cry. Instead, I called it a compromise and just kind of tried to sit there (not a great wrestling move). She flipped me over and pinned me in a matter of seconds.

Now I can think up any number of awesome excuses on how I could possibly lose a wrestling match in front of my whole class to a girl that I had a crush on—these range from the chivalrous to the sexist to the ridiculous. Maybe my arms just hurt from doing chin ups that morning—whatever! For some reason, the one I chose was:

Awesome job, sixth grade Brad.

I was talking with Russell about this song today. It showed up on my hard drive one day without explanation. Perfect for dancing in one’s kitchen. SONG OF THE SUMMER

I’ve long held the belief that any non-Google search engine is not really worth anyone’s time. That said, I do nurse nostalgia for the days when weirdo sites like AskJeeves and Dogpile would compete for my searches. Remember when AltaVista was the largest search database and EVERYONE knew it? Ohhh nostalgia…

I decided to give this new hotshot hoity-toity Microsoft search engine bing.com a chance and see how it compares. Obviously I gauge this by searching for my own name and HOLY CRAP SUCCESSFUL.

It’s so…refreshing to not have that Fullerton CA real estate mogul besmirching my good name at the top of every search. Seriously, Google puts me on page 7 or something. I took this experiment to the next level:

HOW MANY TIMES IN YOUR LIFE HAVE YOU SEARCHED FOR THIS CONDITION IN A SEARCH ENGINE. If you’re like me the answer is probably AN UNFATHOMABLE AMOUNT. I am now the face of miserable teenagers (using Microsoft’s stupid new search engine) everywhere. Yeeeessssssssssssss

Furthermore, I’m sharing search engine real estate with THOR LASER. Look thorlaser.com, I don’t know what your deal is but I’m jealous of your domain name really bad and I’m pretty sure our web sites are internet soul mates. WILL YOU WEB-SITE-MARRY ME?

There are three good reasons to be on Twitter. These are the first two; the third is my funny friend Ramsey Ess. I might have a Twitter…but…I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

ALSO…tried to post a comic last night and Tumblr broke all my images. I’ll try again this afternoon.

my day off

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:26:15 -0700

On Friday I took the day off work and had some “me time.” Here is what I did:

Got a haircut!

Had a sushi lunch at a crowded restaurant.

Bought some collectable figurines!

Tried to get my cell phone fixed.
