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.

Again, I paraphrase Jay Sherman: BUY THIS BOOK, BUY THIS BOOK

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.

Something for the New Yorkers out there.

2008-06-23T23:57:48Z

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

BARACK OBAMA IS THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE! HOLY FUCKING SHITCAKES

Okay, I know, I need to stop with the heavy picture posts. But I have to admit, it's rare that there's a crack in my neurotic, cynical, pessimistic, mysanthropic heart of mine. And for it to be the American people to break this shell, of all people, is even doubly amazing. It's a rare sight to see: take heed, tell your children, because me being this happy might not happen again for a while. Well, until he's elected president.

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

This part sucks.

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

I'm so punny.

2008-05-16T23:14:25Z

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.

I'm Pro-Bono. I also like U2.

2008-05-08T18:01:43Z

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!

I really don't think this is fake, guys

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.

And now for something completely different.

2008-04-09T23:49:42Z

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

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

It's like Obama Girl, except excepitonally less annoying.

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.

My icon is my new favorite icon. When you see it, you'll shit brix. God, I love 4chan (particularly /tv/), and this site. It makes my life tolerable sometimes. Sad state of affairs for me, but hey. I've got to entertain myself until college.

PS: Got into Syracuse, but not Newhouse. However, I'm strained to see why I would have gone to Syracuse, even if I got in to Newhouse. Oh well, better to get in then denied! Now come the serious letters. NYU and BU letters, you're making me cry myself to sleep.

I'm really quite ready for highschool to end. I don't hate it by any means. I've learned a lot about myself. Mainly the fact that if someone doesn't like me, or if something goes wrong, it's not always my fault. And that nugget alone was worth the four years. It's just time for it to end. And considering how it's already March tenth, with a week off next week; I haven't got too much to go.

However, the fact that I have to go a prom is still the thorn to my lion's paw. Son of a bitch.

Hooray for alliteration!

Ahaha, oh, Barack Obama. Your awkward photos op might just be the dominating factor of why I voted for you. Well, that, and pretty much everything else, but still, you take photos like an awkward thirty year old white guy. For extended lulz, see the man eat ice cream.

In other news, I got into Ithaca's School of Communication! This is actually a school I really liked, so that's pretty awesome. So far that's five acceptances (Ithaca, Emerson, Bard, SUNY Albany and SUNY New Paltz) one deffered (BU's ED,) and a whole slew of schools I've yet to hear anything from (Clark, Skidmore, Sarah Lawrence, and BU... again), and a few schools I essentially gave sixty dollar donations to, because like hell I'm getting accepted (NYU, Syracuse.) Not terrible so far, if I can say so myself!

Some general Academy Award observations:

Jon Stewart, that Atonement joke was totally worth it. If anyone needs me to explain it, just ask. Also, I might not be calling any specific Academy Award wins, but I am calling that at least one major newspaper with talk about how the fact that Marion Cotillard and Javier Bardem won means that "Hollywood has finally gone global." I'm looking at you, The New York Times. Anyway, I really miss those silhouette dancers. The ones who made the gun from the Departed, and the bus from Little Miss Sunshine? But honestly, what could they make this year? An embigging pregnant stomach? A milkshake? A stunbolt gun?

PS: I never saw Into the Wild, I kind of wish Hal Holbrook would adopt me as his grandson.

Each year, four acting slots come up for grabs. European actors frequently are part of the mix, but they never have walked away with four. Taking cultural hegemony to a new tier, Hollywood mostly stood by.

Mother fucking called it.
