my favorite song of the year thusfar, without question: "god bless our dead marines" by tra-la-la band and a silver mount zion memorial orchestra. there's a really good performance of it on youtube, if you have fifteen minutes to kill. part 1, part 2.

last three minutes are amazing

i find something new to freak out over every day

katherine's pretty rad and i miss her. don't mean to get sappy, but, there it is.

i wish i was going to san francisco.

but all sadness aside, i got to catch up with high school homies and hang in BK's hot tub. i smell like chlorine hardcore, but it was nothing but good times. also, i saw this site Ponoko via this instructables and it is making me go crazy. i am so, so into the idea of making flatpack things. true, it's kind of pricey, but the wheels have started turning, so maybe i can cut my teeth there and then find another place to laser cut acrylics? this hair comb in particular blew my mind. how baller would it be to have my own laser cut afro pick? yeeeeah!



look at it! they really did do a good job on it, too. man. so much i want to try, so little time/money.

yo-yo nouveau

1. sonny's


2. mine


two aesthetics that i am totally freaking out over

They look unbeatable!.. NOT

I want to build a robot so bad. I made the mistake of watching a bunch of old Battlebots footage on youtube today and I'm totally pumped on it. I'm actually totally pumped on, like, everything today. Yeah! Stuff! Yeah!

saw Young@Heart at the AFI today, and it was a very nice movie. i recommend it to anybody who wants to see 20 septugenarians sing "i feel good".

catch-up!

Ninety percent of the time I forget that I have a blog at all, which is just as well, because I only have something to say about five percent of the time. The joke about my posting only the remaining five percent of the time is far too easy and far too true. Anyways, now I'm going to play catch-up and just put everything that I forgot about. This is probably totally irritating for the two people who read my blog because they both read my flickr as well.

I saw The Fall Of Troy last night in Baltimore. Truth be told, I don't listen to them that often on CD, but that doesn't change the immutable radness of the show. Really great time. I need to go to more concerts!

Pekka did this totally radical mini-video. Just watch it!


I did a similar one, but now I don't even wanna talk about it because Pekka is so much more awesome than me. It's all good. At least he lets me bask in his glow.



I got all these CDs from spring cleaning sales at Asian Man Records and Mush Records, which for some reason happened at the same time. I guess they just want to overload me with brand new flava in my ear. Right?

Speaking of music, Randy played me a couple leaked songs from the new Weezer album. I don't know. I guess there's just never going to be another Blue Album or Pinkerton, so I should just accept that and appreciate their new stuff for what it is, but that might take a little bit of time for me. Honestly, I'm kind of cautiously pretending that it's a different band entirely, so if I end up not liking it I'll pretend that it never happened.


which turned into


I'm happy with how this turned out, 'cause I like designs that are, like, secret messages. I wish I made more. I hope we have access to the screenprinting room next semester. Man, I really don't want to go back to Andrews.



this was my papercraft final project.

okay, that's way too much stuff. later!

what happened?

i mean, yes, i was probably like 4 when this happened, but that's not the point.
