Wow, I got 50 hits today from people following a link from Lake Effect going to this post a few days ago. Which once again proves my theory, people are interested in my cock.

Just finished watching Ghost Dog:The Way of the Samurai on DVD. I wanted to see it in the theaters, but it was gone before I had time. Luckily it came out on video fairly fast. Anyway, I really liked it. Ghost Dog is the epitome of cool. He does everything in such a relaxed manner that you don't believe he could be a hitman. The juxtaposition of hitman and samurai cultures was very original.

After I got my digital camera, I signed up at one of those websites that offer prints from pictures you upload. I got some free prints when I signed up, and they were about to expire so I used them. My pictures arrived today, and they look really nice. They look just like prints from a traditional film camera. They even used that glossy photographic paper that says Kodak on the back. Very cool.

These guys are trying break the world record for the longest Lego train layout. My mom would've killed me if I'd tried something like this in the living room when I was a kid.

Amazing. It's Thursday night and I'm bored already. Not even the weekend yet! Not even Friday! I think I'm gonna wander around my apartment complex with my flashlight and harass people. Hey, Groundhog Day's on. I love that movie. Nuts to that flashlight thing.

Hey, good idea: This guy in Maryland is selling his vote on eBay. It got up to $10,100 before they removed his auction.

This is the greatest news ever: Matt Groening revealed that there's gonna be a Simpsons movie.

Oh yeah, and Star Wars 2 will be called The Rise of the Empire.

Nice. Metal Gear Solid for the PC. The original game and the VR missions! 640 x 480 resolution! Save anywhere! Hopefully it won't be as bad as the PC ports of Final Fantasy 7 and 8.

Five Things That Turn Men On. My vote goes to #2: Glasses. I'll take a girl with glasses over a girl with big tits anytime.

Yay, the newest issue of Maxim arrived in my mailbox today but it's addressed to the guy I'm subletting from. I think I'll hold off on telling him about it for a few days.

Digital Photography Review has a review of the FujiFilm FinePix 40i, a combination digital camera/mp3 player. It's a cool idea, and it looks nice, but it has a few problems. Mp3s and pictures are stored on the same memory card, and it comes with either an 8 or 16 mb card. You're gonna run out of space fast. You must use a special kind of SmartMedia card too, to prevent mp3 trading. The picture quality's not all that great either.

Heh heh, Pop-Culture Raunch

There's this weird guy in my office who looks like Tom Green. Actually, no he doesn't. It's just the goatee.

LA Weekly has a good article about the Concorde crash and the end of our dreams about supersonic transports.

Three Farm Workers Die in Manure Tank. "One man entered the tank to make the repair, but failed to return. A second man went in to rescue him and the third was then prompted to go in after the other two failed to come out." I wonder how long this would've gone on if there had been more guys.

Drug smugglers pretended to be religious pilgrims to smuggle cocaine into Europe. You gotta love stuff like this.

I just saw the strangest thing: the trash bag in my trashcan is missing, but the trash is still in there. How weird is that?

I've noticed that most bloggers do a redesign every 4 or 5 months or so. Sometimes even more frequently. Which means it's just about time that I should redesign. Hmmm...maybe I'll change this to Running Green Lights. Nah, that doesn't make any sense at all. Running Yellow Lights? That's not cool, everybody does that. Maybe I should move in an abstract, cubist direction. Lights Running Red.

Ah, fuck it. I'll stick with this design a little while longer.

Clothes with built-in computers are about to go on sale in Europe. Now, I love the cyberpunk look, but I'm not sure I want to walk around with a computer embedded in my jacket. Unless the computer's hooked up to a death ray.

I feel so sorry for this baby who was named after a website. His parents sold him out and when he gets older he'll be too embarassed to explain where his name comes from.

Sony is going to make a VAIO laptop powered by Transmeta's Crusoe processor. Personally, I think VAIOs are some of the nicest looking laptops on the market. I think I've found the next thing to drain my bank account.

It always makes my day when the latest issue of my favorite comic is out. On Friday I stopped by a local comic shop and picked up Optic Nerve #7. If you've never read Optic Nerve or anything by Adrian Tomine, do so immediately. Optic Nerve has some of the most realistic, compelling stories I've ever read. His characters could easily be people I've known or met throughout my life. His stories have sad endings, but that's how life is. If you're still hesitant, read these two one-page strips.

Computer Games Online (one of the ugliest sites I've seen) has a preview of Escape From Monkey Island. Yay! The insults are back:

"I've defeated twelve people today alone."
"How do you know? You don't have that many fingers."
And when you're done reading the preview, read this overview of the characters. Yay! Herman Toothrot's back.

Not much happening lately. I don't feel like blogging anything. This site never gets hits anyway so I don't think anyone's going to notice or complain.

I developed 2 rolls of film all by myself. I'm really proud of that. I might have a slight problem for my photo class though: I was planning to use my dad's Pentax SLR, but the light meter doesn't work. At first I thought the battery was dead, so I had to special order one from Radio Shack. Battery arrives in the mail today, and I stick it in the camera. Light meter still doesn't work. So now I figure the light meter's broken. I gotta get a camera soon, cause I have another roll of film due Monday. I think I'll check out some used camera stores tomorrow. My savings account is draining.

Well whaddaya know, I guess I did have something to blog.

Whoa, this really sucks: Russian Nuclear Submarine Trapped. Sounds like something from Das Boot.

Today I shot a roll of film around the airport. Mostly planes landing and taking off. Everytime a plane took off I prayed for a fiery crash. That would've gotten me an A on my assignment.
