on mutant mania…

So the second X-men movie comes out on Friday… anyone interested in: 1) gathering at my place for a private showing of the first one tonight in the basement theater? (perhaps I can even be inclined to pick up X-men 1.5 on my way home from work today) 2) getting together for the new one…

on marketing to the 28 year old American male…

All bow down before the marketing genius that is Тату. I just finished watching their new video for Not Gonna Get It. Ummm… wow… Apparently someone just completely knows how to market directly to me. The pitch meeting probably went something like this: “Ok, let’s see… we want to appeal to the 20-something negro male,…

more party planning committee stuff…

so my roommates have decided that silly things like occupational conferences and sibling weddings are more important than celebrating the occasion of my birth, so its possible Jammy Jam is going to be moved slightly. It will be within a week of my birthday, but it may be before my birthday. Right now, the possibilities…

on being a starving artist… (ADDENDUM B)

to assuage the concerns of certain namelss individuals (*cough* yannaboo *cough-cough*) please note that my call for models is still open despite the fact that there have already been volunteers. Also, note that I did say that I wanted gorgeous women and ugly, stinky, homeless men and everything in between and was not necessarilly limiting…

on the curse of TiVo

Sometimes I wonder about the great things that I am missing because of TiVo. I happened to not fast forward through a set of commercials tonight, and I was lucky enough to see the BEST COMMERCIAL EVER! Coors Light: Ode to the Wingman. I’d link to but it doesn’t seem to be on the Coors…

on being a starving artist… (ADDENDUM)

to assuage the concerns of certain nameless individuals (*cough* sui66iy *cough-cough*) please note that my call for models which requested “gorgeous women” is not exclusive. If you are a ugly, stinky, homeless man and would like to appear in a photosketch, please contact me as well. (I mean, look at my icon…) Or for that…

on being a starving artist…

Ok, so honestly I’m not starving at the moment, but lately I haven’t been all that artistic either. I aim to change all that. First things first, I have finally added danitapgh’s portrait. That brings the photosketch series to seven. In case anyone hasn’t seen the others, they are: Cheryl, Mathilde, Regina, Diane, Jennifer and…

Everybody’s doing it…

so sui66iy in his recent strive for weenieness posted that he had calculated his Ecological Footprint. Lots of people followed suit. I was bored and decided to give it a shot myself. Hmmm… I only hit 7.4. 72% of the average. I really expected that to be higher (and it might be 6.6, I said…

on the death of soul

So, as I mentioned earlier, it was reported today that Nina Simone is dead at 70. What I didn’t know at the time was that last week, Luther Vandross had a stroke at 52 years of age. I am suddenly fearing for the human race as there is now the very real possibility that no…
