Postsecret.com

This guy created a blog, postsecret.com where ppl send in postcard secrets...last year someone in my interface design class thought of the same thing...but in a more abstract designy conceptual way. Anyways some of the postcards are very crafty and funny.

"I gots me some skillz"

So I entered this Lily Allen contest held by the wonderful blog popbytes.com, re-wrote the lyrics to Lily's song "Take what you take" to express my all around love of all things Lily Allen. And I won. I guess people really like me after all. See kids, it pays to go to graduate school. Stay in school.

We love Damon too!

Apparently some lower east side bar, Lolita bar, was having a Damon Albarn themed night this week. Had to share this poster they made.

Bruised Teddy Bear Zoo

Flip Flop Flyin' has a cute illustration of a Bruised Teddy Bear Zoo where they give abused teddy bears some love by patching them up and putting them to work...very cute. Check out FlipFlopFlyin's other illustration work here. I love the pixel art !

Artbeat: Red Bull Project

Check this out:

Touche artbeat, you've got an example of a time lapse panorama up online, but get ready to get blown away by my thesis in two months.

"This is the day"

Thanks to the new M&Ms commercial where ppl look like m&ms...I got a blast from the past reminder of The The's "This is the day" which to me has great significance as the greatest final scene in a movie, Empire Records (randomness...I wrote a final paper on Empire Records in my Intro to Film class like 4 years ago, how I could get away with writing a paper about Empire Records still boggles my mind). Anyways it go me thinking that if anyone wants a cool song to add to their wedding music mix, you should definitely include "This is the day" and dance like Mark and Gina (old school Ethan Embry before his crazy Paul Giamatti makeover, and before Renée Zellweger got all hoitie toitie).

This might offend...."I must be EMO"

Kudos to Noel pointing this out. This video is long overdue because it would have helped me kill emo three years ago. Pete Wentz I dedicate this video is to you!

Lily Allen again

We'll give her another go.

Lady Sovereign opening for Gwen Stefani

Yes Lady Sovereign will be touring with Mrs. Rossdale for her Sweet Escape tour. With Lady Sov opening, I'd definately reconsider going to Gwen's show this time around. Especially if they do a mix-up duo of Yummy and Hate Me, now that would be an ultimate "sweet escape."

Who would win? Lily Allen vs. Avirl Lavigne?

LA vs. AL...who would will in a celebrity death match? Well seeing as Lily can out dress Avril anyday without effort, the fact that Brits out rank Canadians in my book, and that Avril is so 2003, hands down Lily will pull out Avril's fake blonde extensions, then kick her ass.

Robbie Williams "She's Madonna"

And we thought Robbie Williams was just sitting at home being depressed. This is the best video this year ever!

We love Jelly D!

My bad, randomizer Zach Slow was not Jelly D, his friend Andrew Bancroft is the mastermind behind Jelly Donut, and you've got to see his rapping skillz. Looks like it was bigger than we all expected...bigger than the Lady Sov. Get a snack from Double Ds today and salute the Jelly Donut.

Are you Cuckoo Bananas?

Manny Santos has never been my favorite til now. Besides the fact that she's rockin' the bangs better than Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani this year, her excessive use of the phrase "cuckoo bananas" is so out there, it's now cool. Are you cuckoo bananas?

Manson's Woods, now that's just nasty !

So Marilyn Manson and his wife seperated...which is bad for Manson, cos Dita was as good as it was going to get for him. He partied and cheated too much (but that's not a surprise). And he had the nerve to replace Dita Von Teese with 19 year old Evan Rachel Woods (yes think of that movie "Thirten" with Kip Pardue, Holly Hunter and Jeremy Sisto playing yet another loveable crazy).

First of all Miss Woods, you should be ashamed of yourself for breaking up a marriage. Second of all Miss Woods you are a pretty 19 year old at your prime, why settle for a double-chinned and makeup wearing 38 year old who has been around the block way too many times; And there's a reason why he wears the makeup, it's not for coolness factor, it's cos he looks even nastier without it! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Manson hater, but this is like a nasty old man with a blond bimbo...it's not right. Marilyn Manson should be with an dominatrix looking burlesque woman, not a teen in training!


We thank Perez for scribbling in "whore."

Gettin' random with Lady Sovereign

Who cares about reporting on the crowd chanting "battle with jelly donut"...the real scoop is that you gotta check out Zach Slow's diabolical scheme to go on a date with Lady Sov...aka "Help Me Get Random with Lady Sovereign!" He raised $10,000 to go on a date with Miss Sov (how he got all that donation money and the fact that Lady Sov's people even considered this request is crazy)...but I am just mad jealous that I didn't think of this six years ago with: "Help Me Share the LOVE with Matt Bellamy!" Zach Slow, kudos to you, you are the hero of the day.

Who the hell did Elijah sleep with to get this part?

So Elijah Wood is going to play Iggy Pop in a movie about the Stooges. Who the hell did he sleep with to get this part? I guess having a "girlfriend" like Pamela Racine of Gorgol Bordello is an advantage...but that still doesn't fully explain this miscasting. It does though explain why Jared Leto went postal on Elijah at the MTVu's Woodies Awards.

i guess dudes love the instant messaging, even at 21+

So I'm on ichat right now so I can talk to my husband at work..and that's probably the only reason why I use ichat these days. But I noticed ever since being out of college for a couple of years, the only people I see on AIM or ichat are 99.9% male. Granted because I've always had more male friends than female friends...hence there are more male friends on my buddy list than females...but not a single female is instant messaging these days. What does that mean? Are men more prone to goof off at work and keep up the Instant Messaging? Maybe they are talking to their "wives"? Probably not. Do these men not have jobs? Maybe my female friends care more about their careers? Or they like to abide by the rules of the office and don't want to get caught chatting it up on IM. Probably. What is up with that?

Still No Sweet Escape

Have not purchased the new Gwen Stefani album. Don't know why...because I do have a tendency to be loyal to musicians even if they have gone downhill (just look at that Matchbox 20 cd I purchased years ago that I still haven't listened to or taken out of the jewel case). I sorta love the Gwen dolls I got for xmas, despite that fact they are cheaply manufactured. But I love the outfits of Tick Tock Gwen and Miss Love...and mr. bear loves the cape. Love that the thighs are larger than Barbie's, but the arms could have a bit more meat. And the hands are not made to hold any of the accessories, i.e. the scepter, the lipstick, the crown doesn't even fit on Gwen's head! But that's ok. mr. bear has use for them.


Also look at the photo mr.bear sent to Perez Hilton...he's sporting his Nicole Richie sun glasses, and Brandon Davis hairy chest.

Kudos for Canadians!

The-n sucks! But ctv rocks for playing double new episodes each week of degrassi! And this site rocks even more for telling me hopefully true spoilers. Some how I knew Alex had a stripper inside her, fighting to get out. And is it just me, or does this picture of JT give you the creeps? Oh well, goodbye JT.

what about global warming!

Why has no tv dramas/comedies tackled the issue of global warming? Maybe I'm not watching enough tv, but from what I watch, I know shows attempt to stay current with cultural, and somewhat social/political, issues ...of course you've heard about the Chevy Chase Law and Order episode which obviously poked fun at Mel Gibson's problems to the Celebhead of Britney Spears on Vh1. Are we so consumed with celebrity gossip that we can't even publically recognize what effects us on a daily basis...why it's frickin' 60 degrees in New York this winter! Come on even on "the office" this week...i was so pissed that they showed snow there, but it did not snow like that in Scranton this year! (I know they shoot those things months in advance...but come on, with a prediction that El Nino and global warming are going to break the heat scales this year, there better not be snow in next year's episode, and someone better crack a joke about global warming and El Nino in 2007).

If you haven't seent an Inconvenient Truth or not an avid Futurama watcher, you must see this Global Warming, None Like it Hot! Kudos Matt!
