You're not used to playing with anyone, are you?

lol midi controllers

yes, that's right.

I'M IN UR COMPUTER

So I've been in internet hiding for a while, apparently...Either that or I am bucking under the pressure of maintaining two Myspace accounts, Facebook, Stalker Facebook, Baby Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo mail, hotmail, Flickr, another blog, and YouTube.

No, really, it's getting nicer in not-so-sunny Vancouver so I am trying to be outside getting more of a UV tan and less of a pixeltan.

However, just dropping by today I decided to share with you my favorite Stupid But Hysterical Mispelled Funny Cat GIFs.

The first one I ever saw was this one:



followed by


Then there is this animated GIF that is worth at least 10 seconds of your ADD time:


I have no idea why these are funny. They just are. Sorry.



(Back soon with something more worthwhile to say)

Colbert and Stewart in '08!

I know, I know, it's a pipe dream...Whatever. I still am trying to think of a way to get on Stephen's Fantasy Board. You know, it's like the On Notice board but for fantasies...le sigh.

Dear Morgan,

I love you.

PUFFY FACE!

So in a slightly dazed bout of accounting procrastination/break-before-I-go-mental, I stumbled across My Heritage, a site that allows you to track your family history through photographs.

More importantly though, it allows me to do this:


MY CELEBRITY LOOK-ALIKES!!!

Surprised I didn't know that I look more like Renee "Puffyface" Zelwegger than Tyra "Tranny" Banks...

I did a few more and the four common denominators (all of whom showed up twice) were Tyra, Halle Berry, Beyonce Knowles, and...wait for it...

ALYSSA MILANO.

I also variably looked like Scarlett Johannson, Kristin Kreuk, Cameron Diaz (WHAT?!?!), Rachel Leigh Cook, Naomi Campbell, Kates Winslet AND Beckinsale, and Aishwariya Rai.

Weird. Told you I wasn't black.

I'll kill your dog just for fun, so don't push me

Just tell me another thing that makes Monday better than hearing:

when i was in harvard, i smoked weed every day
i cheated every test and snorted all the yay
i got a def posse, you got a bunch of dudes...*

Can't think of anything? Yeah, neither can Natalie Portman...








*Did you know this line is from a Sir Mix-a-track? SIDKT...

the department of codependency department

I have so oversaturated myself with these people that I almost don't want to see any of them for, say, at least 72 hours:









too bad they are all such great cooks, hanger-overs, dancers, sleeping partners, and, AND -- they don't talk shit about me behind my back like all my other friends. Especially You, Beckstar!*












* becks you know I kid. plus if it wasn't for my competitive nature and your rad blog I wouldn't be on here at all. Just sayin'.

Friday Afternoon Dance Competition

Watch and learn...



P.S. this is one of my best friends in the whole wide world...Yeah, you're jealous.

a new dawn

This was Stephen Colbert's "dejected" rant after last night's Comedy Central's Midterm Midtacular Madness:

"...You know what really gets me? Democrats didn't even win this thing, the Republicans lost it. They ran away from the President. "Hey, the ship's in trouble quick, let's drown the captain!" We were this close to Jesus coming back. And you Republicans who abandoned the President are going to wander in the desert for the next two years. Literally. Someone's gonna have to replace those troops in Iraq. And don't think you're off the hook, voters – you're the ones who made this bed. Now you're the ones who will have to move over so a gay couple can sleep in it!

Tomorrow, you're all gonna wake up in a brave new world. A world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors, who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags! Where Tax-and-Spend Democrats take all your hard-earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio, and teach evolution to illegal immigrants! Oh, and everybody’s high!"

And here is his "Surrender" cake...


"Mmm...tastes like surrender."

God bless America. Well, Stephen Colbert at least.

See the whole Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert Midterm Midtacular Madness

YouTube vs. Puppies

Cute genetically modified Golden Retrievers...or Pumpking Attack? You make the call

Check out this headline from today's CBC news online:

Time names YouTube 'Invention of the Year'

Ahh, where to begin? First of all, YouTube beat out a vaccine that prevents a cancer-causing sexually transmitted disease and a t-shirt that simulates a hug.

Buh? Okay, great, I understand the hugging t-shirt (what's next, panties that simulate a penis?), but seriously, people. Is our need for instant entertainment, rife legal, content, and selective exposure issues, greater than health? Is it? I don't really have an answer. Yes, YouTube is a great idea. But my whole problem with this whole internet networking, DIY cyber media thing is that maybe we are rolling along with it so quickly that we don't realize the impact it is having on actual social interaction.

By the way, last year's winner was a cloned puppy.

From the Codependency Department of Codependency

a.k.a. the best Halloween ever.


Randy as Waldo, Mika as Randy, Joni as Clinton, and Clinton as Magnum PI...which is himself, kind of

This costume brilliance came to Jay-O and I after the longest day of "hurtin' for sure"...I somewhat shellshocked as a result of less than four hours of sleep and a familial explosion (not mine), while Jay-O suffered from a torrential case of hanging over as well as a disarming lack of cell phone (which she later found...under her bed).


Is this (somewhat freudian) picture hot, or creepy? Probably...just creepy


So much Mikandy love.

My attention to detail is frightening: an airbrush of Randy's tattoo

Saturday evening found us rocking out in fine fashion as Tina Turner, Slash and Axl Rose tore Shaughnessy a new one:


I ripped a big hole in her fishnets...Sorry


You know where you are? You're in the Jungle, Baby!

On Friday we rocked out at the Emily Carr Cabaret, where Patty C cruised around knocking people over in rollerblades as...himself, kind of:


This was posed 3.4 seconds after wiping out on his sick blades, dude!

Sara was fierce (Yeah, I said it...) as a sexy Viking:
(I will point out that this beautiful costume took us exactly 36 minutes to execute...Anyone want to hire me as a wardrobe assistant? I'm available after January...)




Sometimes Beefeater Lime Gin can really get to you...

Other Halloween highlights included the hottest Hot Cops I have ever seen:

T-dot, as a banana:


"I'm a banana!"

Jablonsky, as the cutest Little Red Riding Hood on record:

Jono, dressed up as (what else?) a Boy:


I think he is adjusting his moon boots.

Travis, as some sort of wasted rocker skid: (I know, what costume?)


Someone on my Flickr account commented "More of this guy!"

Natsicle, looking super ballin':


I heard she has a mean 3-pointer

Greg, flying in from NYC to be this awesome:

His name is Devil Kneival.

The lovely Kara stopped by to be a Kara-Kat:

She's fast. Like a cat.



Where's Waldo, Magnum? Oh, there he is


Joni adjusts her 'stache as the Dreamer rocks out


Every good Halloween party has a Hunter S. Thompson...and a room full of drugs. True Story.


So. Much. Awesome.


All in all, a good effort was made by all. I can't wait til next year...or can I? Thanks to all the party throwers and revelers who kept it real for our fine posse.

Some mazing

Is it just me, or are some advertisers smoking (really good) crack?
The Portuguese text below reads, "You never know when you will need it."



This one is for a men's magazine called Ché. The copy reads,
"Let us keep on dreaming of a better world."



These were all shamelessly stolen from Coloribus, a really mazing marketing and advertising blog out of somewhere in Europe.

P.S. If you are wondering about "mazing"...it comes from one of the many ESL immigrant mistakes my coworker Dmitry made when first arriving in Canada from Russia as a teenager. He thought when people said that something was amazing, they were saying "a mazing...". Similarly, he would hear "nincompoop" as "an incompoop".

Some mazing.

Tony and Angela: Part One

So before I begin, I just need to say that certain members of my dojo have been watching me and my friends closely and alluding facetiously to Tony and Angela from everyone's favorite lukewarm 80s sitcom, Who's the Boss?.

I started googling Who's the Boss when I came across this discussion site:

Who's the Boss jumped the shark when...

I particularly enjoy this thought:

"I loved the show up unto the point where Samantha chopped off her hair. After that, everything she wore was just dark and goth. I liked the more cutesy dressed, curly brown-haired Sam. Her dark, straight hair ruined it for me. I use to watch the show to check out her hair and clothes. I couldn't depend on her anymore for fashion tips."

Fashion tips?!?! Really? From this girl?!

(By the way...jonathan looks really earnest in this still, dontcha think? Awww...and now you're gay.)

Who did you turn to next for fashion tips? Punky Brewster? Blossom?



Come on, though...Blossom and her crazy hats aside, who didn't love Joey? Whoa!

...come to think of it, Joey Lawrence played Joey, and Tony Danza played Tony...

"Has anyone noticed that Tony Danza is always cast as Tony? Is this because he is SO stupid that if you called him "Jim" or "Bob" it would take months to film a show because he would always forget they were talking to him just like when Homer Simpson was in the witness protection program and he couldn't remember his code name?"

Anyway, I digress. Now, back to Tony and Angela. Right.

Ohh they're so happy. Except for the fact that Tony looks either like he is going to squeeze one out or possibly faint from Angela's vice-like hug of death-love.

I really don't know where I was going with this.

Notbleeding

On Saturday night I was once again prone to the attack of the vodka dinner. Unfortunately I also turned into Cinderella sometime after midnight but without having secured a pumpkin coach alternative for myself.

As a result my cries of S.O.S. were intercepted by my own erroneous texting of "notbleeding" to my best friend.



Oh well, you win some, you lose some...It's a pretty bitchin' photo if i do say so myself.

Remember this guy?

I do. Did you know he has a blog? Yes, it's true, and here is a hilarious audio exerpt:

Wil Wheaton Sees a Red Light

I don't know who reads it, but there you go.
