DAVID FULLARTON

Super dig David Fullarton's work...so I just bought this small affordable piece, F.A.Q.s. Hopefully in time I'll be able to get a larger piece of his...until then, this will have to tide me over.

This drawing was part of an installation I created for The Skydive gallery in Houston, Texas as part of their Sisyphus Office project in May 2009. It was originally exhibited in the offices of radio station 90.1 KPFT and was then later reinstalled in the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston.

More details of the installation can be found [HERE].

KUNG FU DELAY

Well, Kung Fu will not be joining the ranks of my household this weekend...she's apparently developed a bit of a sneeze after receiving a nasal vaccination. So with plans of bicycles and camping the following week, I'll be getting Fu on the 16th.

A SERBIAN FILM

I'm not being vague, that's the title, A Serbian Film. I am rendered somewhat speechless after watching this last night. I'll tell you this...I like a lot, a lot of fucked up movies, but I have never had one manifest a physical pain from knotting my stomach until this one. Truth be told...you know what, I liked it...its completely fucked up and I don't condone...well anything really, that's happening in the movie, but it's just that...a movie. And a movie that is able to have an effect, positive or negative for that matter after viewing and stick with a viewer...well, that gets my vote. So I'm not saying watch it by any means, but I will say if you do decide to watch it...one, its not for everyone, you probably don't want to watch it if you have kids, have issues with watching rape scenes and you might want to view it first by yourself. Two, go ahead and watch the [TRAILER]...but this trailer makes the movie seem like a Disney film compared to what you're in for. Three, stay committed...if you're going to watch it, watch it all the way through...no cutting out halfway and then complaining about it.

So there's that, do with it what you will...and I'll leave you with the advice scribed in black sharpie from my buddy who gave me a copy..."once you see this you can't unsee it."

SUPER SWELL IDEA

Thanks to [Ms. HL] for sharing.

DIY DESIGNER LITTER BOX

STEP 1
Scour the likes of craigslist for cheap old trunks, shipping crates etc. and tell everyone what you're looking for until Ms. J (thank you) gives you the perfect size avocado green trunk for free. Please note ghosts tend to travel with some pieces of furniture, so your trunk may or may not be haunted and perpetually bleeding from no where (see the third picture...yeah, that's still wet and won't stop....creeps me the fuck out). It may also smell like old...but this is okay, we'll address the matter in steps to come.

STEP 2
Acquire a run of the mill litter box (in this case XL) for about fifteen bucks or so. If you're at Target, also feel free to pick up a bunch of other random shit you don't need and spend more than the fifteen.

STEP 3
Take advantage of your friend with that sweet garage and all the tools (thanks Mr. J). Repeatedly ask when you can come over to cut a hole in the side of an old demon filled trunk. He will eventually break down and do it for you...if this is the case, be sure to have a twelve pack on hand so that you aren't parched while you watch.

STEP 4
By now you should have a 9" x 9" hole in the side of your trunk. Perfect, now the ghosts can travel in and out at their own discretion...you need to do nothing but hope they latch on to your neighbors, take that shitty old smell with them and enjoy their company more than yours. You also might want to put that XL litter box inside of the trunk.

STEP 5
Ride bikes to Taco Bell...though not a necessity to your build, it is a great way to celebrate your newfound handy man skills and the fact that you don't have to look at your new cat's turds for the next fifteen or how ever many years.

KUNG FU EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING

I pick up [KUNG FU] this Saturday and the excitement level is high all around...so much in fact that Mr. P was kind enough to kidnap a child and force it to sew me this new hat...you know, in hopes that Kung Fu will feel more at home. Thanks Mr. P...my gourd is now sufficiently enhanced.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

Say you walk into a building of condos, apartments...whatever...a pretty decent and large place where a friend hangs their hat, right. Through a door opening into a common area you come across a brown box with no top...in it, 13 seemingly unopened Coors Light bottles. Laying on top of the bottles, scribed in black sharpie on a recipe card of sorts, a sign that says 'FREE BEER!'....do you take them?

This isn't a trick question...more of a do you trust strangers sort of thing. Yes, I can across this scenario...no I did not get drunk on free beer...I left them as they lay...though someone had a greater trust than I about 3 hours after my discovery.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE iPHONE, YOU KNOW...WITHOUT THAT PESKY PHONE PART

The Chinese rumor mill is aflutter today with news about Apple’s alleged new and mini-sized iPad. Reportedly featuring a 7″ screen, the new iPad is said to closer resemble an oversized iPhone 4 and is well past the development stage, at this point considered a finished product.

According to Chinese English-language site Shanzai, Apple recently released the new iPad into the wild for further testing, along with 5 decoy designs to hide the true iPad’s identity and deter another iPhone 4-like leak.

That's right, of the day...and it isn't even noon yet.

"When me and my friends grow moustaches...we call them dick brooms."

FULL HARVEST MOON

Ride your bicycle tonight under the pale moon light. I will sadly not be attending tonight's [FIASCO]...considering I have a festering wound between my legs (actually, this isn't a vagina joke...I have a festering wound, and its between my legs...no, its not an STD, and no its not on my wang) that needs to heal before I rub it any more on my saddle. So ride on kiddies and pretend I am there and I just said something hilarious, that way everybody knows we're having a good time.

WELL LOOK WHAT YOU DID YOU LITTLE JERKS

CEREAL MARSHMALLOWS

It’s marshmallow cereal, without all of the damn cereal in the way...or you can add them to shitty cereals. This guy's site and videos really make me laugh for some reason, probably because it just him eating different cereals with a bag of marshmallows sitting next to him and some mixed in...gots to love an entrepreneur. Click around and check out the grab bag of shit this dude sells.
