HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE

so yesterday. one of our interns at work is playin this music. and this real ill shit comes on and i get boppin. he tells me it's this brass ensemble he saw at grand central one day. im like "what the fuck? no way. these dudes are ill."(that made me sound like such a poser). he bought the CD that day cuz he figured he might never hear or see or find out who these dudes were after he left.

well. i was determined to find out who these dudes were and it turns out to be THE HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE. apparently, they go wherever the fuck they please and just do what they do. and they have been playing with un-mighty mos def. 1 day i will trek the entire metro area to find these dudes and hear them play live.

check out these videos for you non believers.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER NEWS

because apparently, some people on this blog like this show.

i wish i was an actress

so that i could do this.

someone's getting old...

<---------------it's officially your bday, G. have a great one.

i can't wait to see you puke tonight.

more ill shit

the sunburnt cow.
in the east village.
i dare not put the whole address cuz i want to save you from this madness which calls itself a restaurant.

1. the back room is a cave. how appetizing.

2. the seating was filthy. crumbs and unrecognizable debri everywhere. i didnt know if i was brushing off pieces of food or cockroach body parts.

3. the menu is so confusing that the waiter has to explain it to you...in an australian accent:"so. the meal is $16 bucks and three courses. you pick 1 thing from this section. 1 thing from either this section or this section. and for dessert, it's not on the menu. you just worry about that later."

4. the appetizer i chose was calamari. nobody told me it was going to have diced KIWI in it. yes, little diced size pieces of KIWI mixed in with my prepackaged frozen calamari and served with some kind of MAYO. calamari/kiwi/mayo. YUM!

5. my burger. oh man. my burger. the actual beef patty in there was actually OK. too bad it was surrounded by something that was impersonating an egg. some bacon because everything taste better with bacon. a pineapple that i assume is from a can which i quickly disposed of. and a fucking BEET. KILL ME NOW. so, i don't have to talk about the dessert.

BONG BONG!!!

PEACE!

ill shit

you think it would be great.

it's totally not. puke status.

i just wanted to tell everyone to...

...spread the crusade.

light bulb!

i was reading get fuzzy today when i got the strangest feeling...bucky, the cat in the comic strip, is just like someone i know...i couldn't quite put my finger on who...but then it came to me...

if you're wondering what "make love" is like, you should check out get fuzzy. that cat is the key to his personality--he's sarcastic, mean, and always tries to make himself laugh. in the process, people who know and like him are also highly entertained. he doesn't necessarily mean harm, he's just trying to make himself laugh.

weekend update

i think it's been a hard weekend for all of us.

"G" celebrated his bday on friday in jersey even though there was a monsoon out, "make love" is missing but probably off hating somewhere, and i was sick and without internet for almost 24 hours.

i really really want some ben and jerry's ice cream.

be kind...

i have to be honest, this movie is a little kooky. the acting is...well, kinda bad. BUT--it's so much fun to think about remaking films i loved that i found it to be silly.

i still love michel gondry. i will never be able to get over how incredible "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" was. so, for that reason, i had to post this video.

not only did i LOVE the real version of this movie, but i LOVE the michel gondry version of it too.

power hour

i wasn't introduced to power hour till i had already graduated from college...that's probably a good thing considering how crazy it can get.

i should have known that a bar in brooklyn would catch on and do something in honor of power hour. if you're in brooklyn tonight and need a little power in your hour, you should def check this out. and if you're not but you want to do it eventually with friends, you can take their soundtrack and do your own.

but that's at your own risk. good luck.

J Rocc and Blue Note

For those who know me, I am a music fiend and they know there's nothing I love more than hearing music I probably would never find on my own, mixed by one of my favorite DJs. 

That music is a collection of Blue Note records and that DJ is J Rocc. Check the link below for a free download of the mixtape.

Droppin' Science: Greatest Samples From The Blue Note Lab

my hands are filthy

GO ALL CITY

my hands are yellow.
i have shit under my fingernails.
i <3 it.

ankles like gumby

i don't envy models. the whole being too skinny and taller than the average woman kinda bugs me out. it's just not me.

and although i love heels, this is also another reason to add to my list.

Violence Makes Me Hungry

Its the weirdest thing. Every time I watch those old war documentaries I get really hungry. I'm not really sure why.

I guess I'm just going a little crazy.

Well, I guess I'll let you guys be the judge. Check this clip from the last war documentary I saw.

make st. patty's day a holiday!

a friend, who shall remain nameless, sends me a lot of the stuff i post here (let's hope she doesn't start her own blog because then i will lose a lot of my material).

recently, she sent me a petition to make st. patty's day an official holiday. i've never been one to celebrate the holiday but i know a lot of people who do. for them, i would sign it. i wouldn't mind another day off from work anyway.

virtual insanity

this is...interesting. for me, this becomes a question of how the rest of the general public is supposed to view the "writing." i guess i have some more research to do.

ecards

i like witty people who have smart-@ss responses to my smart comments. (hence--why i like rain and greg).

so when i saw these ecards, i thought to myself, "wow--witty and smart-@ss responses for my witty and smart friends!"

saturday

what do you do on a saturday night when there's too much going on and too many people to make happy?

you play rock band.

it's way too confusing to make plans with people sometimes. i can't please anyone but myself. rock band party at my house.
