This Thing's Getting Framed

2008-04-29T20:03:20Z

Well, my copies of Japanese Nostalgic Car have yet to arrive, but a friend not far from me received his copy yesterday, so he lent it to me to facilitate some drooling. I promised not to get it on his copy. Man, what to say. So damn stoked. I ...

Beer versus T-Shirt.

2006-08-31T15:09:50Z

So, I went to see Gomez tonight, with a good buddy of mine that I've known since school. We always do the gigs together, courtesy of our both having sensational taste and, incidentally, the only good taste in our "group". After buying a cheap ...

Gmail WTF?

2006-08-29T06:42:40Z

Has anyone else noticed that when a Gmail thread gets to around 50 emails, the page rendering starts to get all cuhraaaazy? Every time the Gmails between myself and Lorien get to 50ish replies, everything sorts skews off to the right-hand side a...

The battle begins!

To hell with Michael Bay.

2006-08-28T08:09:44Z

What... What the fuck is this? Man, fuck this movie. I've done my best to be supportive of the changes they've made. I understand the need to take some liberties here and there in order to make the movie more appealing to a wider audience, b...

Pluto back to being just a dog.

2006-08-24T14:54:31Z

Well, it's official. I know you were wondering, and now I can confirm it for you: Pluto is no longer a planet. Myself, I'm not too phased by it. Back in the mid 90s, Jeff Kennett—the Premier at the time of the state I live in; Victoria—went a...

Neighbour #3 - Lorien

2006-08-24T08:00:43Z

There exists in my life no more beautiful a thing than Lorien, or Loh, or in the brilliant glare of offline reality, my Fiona. Hah, that gets me thinking that I should totally re-record The Knack's My Sharona as My Fiona. Wouldn't that be out a...

Neighbour #2 - A Digital Cat

2006-08-23T00:44:00Z

I'm not kidding, this person's handle is A Digital Cat. How does one go about deciding on such a name? Is it a homage to the famed Tamagotchi keyring games of old? Does she (I presume the "she" part) live in an apartment that does not allow pe...

Neighbour #1 - .tiff.

2006-08-23T00:29:52Z

I have decided that I will make a blog entry about each person that adds me as a neighbour. I'm not sure why, but right now I'm high on Froot Loops and Coke™, so it's all systems go. Vox's .tiff.—who I shall refer to hereon as Tiff—is not, des...
