My roommate (or the only kid on Facebook who has the same name, graduated highschool this year, and from the same city) rejected my friendship request.

... something's weird.

PS: Not sleeping so I'll sleep like a baby on the plane. Woo, jetlag.

Even though I'm flying to China tomorrow, I have to say this. Goddamit, Japan, I love you.


I just don't understand why the Monkey is crying. Is he just so overwhelmed by being able to offer low-low-incredibly-low cellphone pricing plans? THAT'S NOT CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Yes, I know I mentioned this a few months ago, but IT'S FINALLY FOR SALE



IT'S INCREDIBLE READING
and not just because my name is in the back with the acknowledgments. No, no. Nothing to do with that.

GO BUY IT ALREADY

GUESS WHO'S FINALLY GRADUATING

also, can someone tell me the difference between a graduation robe and a "muumuu"?

I find it hard to delineate the difference.

I guess we now who the VIP Club Member 10 was.

Also, life's seemed very macabre lately. Sydney Pollack, Sam Winston, Harvey Korman (Count De Money), Tim Russert, and now George Carlin? Goddamit, this is really depressing. I'm supposed to be excited about graduating, not being face to face with another celebrity I like on the front page of the New York Times.

Also, graduation Thursday: still wut

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT

(also, that shouldn't be anything of a spoiler.)

I've had surge a dearth of "what the fuck" television moments that my freaking out quota's been waiting for something to make me freak out. Why am I going to be in China two days before the finaleJESUS CHRIST MEDIA BLACKOUT OF THE WORST KIND

Also, I'm graduating Thursday? wut

PS: Fuck you, Hillary. Way to class it up.

:(

There is no emoticon politician's face to describe my emotion. So here's a few.

Goddamit. This is one of those times I really wish I lived in Oregon.

The Barackman's Gambit? When The War Came (That I Called Stupid in the First Place)? O! Bama,? My Mother Was a Kansasian Social Worker? ... I can keep going.

And in more hedonistic news, I got a new iMac! And it is fucking incredible.

Oh, cool! My Colin Meloy Sings Live vinyl came in the mail! Let me open it...


Wait a minute! That picture looks awfully familiar...


Oh, wait! That's right! I took it, because I'm awesome!

Why so seri-OH GOD



Balls to the wall, Nolan. Balls to the wall.

I really wish I was able to screen print clothing.

I must make this shirt. Also, yes, I'm this bored with senior year.

BUY THIS BOOK

Wait, why are you asking the reason I'm linking this book? Because it's damn fine reading. How can I have read it when it hasn't come out yet? Well, I have my ways. And no, there's no correlation between me and the first name on the book. ALL CONNECTIONS YOU MAKE ARE HEARSAY AND SLANDER. Lay off the conspiracy theories, and lay off the bong.

John Cleese and Morrissey are backing Barack Obama? Okay, that's just awesome.


"Bitch, I got the Pope of Mope and Basil Fawlty!"

I think I have a new favorite website.

It contains my two favorite things in the world.

• a. politics
• b. boobs

And for your ladies, there's also a Chippendale option.

!!!

It's never going to happen, but it'd still be cool none-the-less. The hipster in me is somewhat disturbed by how much the Beatles have re-entered the public consciousness. Not that they ever really left, really. But they've sort of become really relevant to pop culture again. I think it's interesting that the music industry has gotten so testy from keeping a band on tab if their first album doesn't do well, that they've had to re-introduce bands that they know will do well. And what band has done better than the Beatles? Don't get me wrong. I love the Beatles. I'd much rather deal with them, then let's say, T-pain. But it feels like they're being shoved back into the pop culture lime light somewhat inorganically.  The outcome of it has been largely mixed: sometimes it's good (the Love album) sometimes it's really weird (Across the Universe) and sometimes it's just god awful (the fact that FOX got the rights for the Beatles for the last two weeks of American Idol.) However, rocking to While My Guitar Gently Weeps on my Wii? That I can get behind. And it's a certainly better idea that what can only be described as Squeezebox Hero. Speaking about video games, though; I can't get my Wii to connect on WiFi to play Smash Bros. online. And it's making me all kinds of sad.

Also, bonus points for getting the subject.

This was my face after the IB examiner told me I should have done more computer graphics pieces, besides the two that I did.



This is what I was feeling, after I spent two years of my art teacher yelling at me not to do anything with computers.



PS: Weirdest conversation ever with the IB Examiner.

"Oh, I really like this piece. Is your mom here?"
"Uh... no?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that."
"wh..."
"..."
"W-wait. Do you mean here like sh-- she's alive."
"Oh."
"...Just not, uh... in this room."
"Well, she should frame it."

PPS: On an completely unrelated notes, this is my favorite thing ever.
