LOST is FINALLY back on

lost.jpg

after what seems like forever – 8 months later – LOST is back on the air TONITE.

so dont call me, dont expect me to return emails tonite, dont show up at my house, dont bother me with the doorbell – i aint moving until the full episode is over. this includes next weeks preview.

the only thing i’m upset about is the stupid writers strike. we’ll only have 8 episodes instead of the 16 we’re suppose to have. damn jerks.

tell them what you really think – custom m&m’s

perfect for the big V-day…

make your own m&m just for your favorite person!  pick the colors and say something special with the 8 characters per line limit.  the other side has the famous ‘m’.

you can create 2 different messages.  ‘u smell funny’ and ‘i rule’ seems to work, but when i tried typing in ’see ya jerk’ and something else similar – i got the following message:

“Sorry we cannot print potentially offensive or inappropriate messages.  Please enter a different message or call 1-888-696-6788 for further assistance.”

so the next question is how much?  well depends on the packaging…

new knight rider is lame.

we live in times where our tv producers and movie directors are lacking creativity. i’m not knocking these peoples jobs.. i’m sure its hard as shit to invent tv shows and story lines.

what i am knocking is how terrible it is to bring back a classic and fuck it up. Continue reading ‘new knight rider is lame.’

lock cup is cool

i’ve had colleagues use my bowls and cups before. sometimes they didnt even clean the damn thing after using it. it just sat in the sink until i needed it. they were jerks.

well there’s a possible solution to the cup/mug borrowing issue…

gommeh introduces the “lock cup” concept. the cup has a hole near the bottom of it and comes with a key to keep it closed. no key – no useful cup.

only issue i think there would be is someone snatching out the key from the cup while in mid drink….

jerks.

why winter sucks ass

shivering to death sucks.

chapped lips sucks.

dry skin sucks.

static electricity sucks.

it getting dark at 4:00 PM sucks.

getting zapped touching door knobs and door handles from the static electricity sucks.

waddling around in 15 long johns, 20 sweaters, 3 jackets, 2 scarves, a pair of gloves and still being cold sucks.

slipping on ice sucks.

snow getting into my shoe sucks.

chipping ice off my windshield in the blistering cold first thing in the morning sucks.

cintiq 12wx

cintiq12wx_1.jpg

i have a wacom intuos. i think its great. but when i saw this thing – i felt like my little intuos is archaeic now.

cintiq12wx_3.jpg

how awesome is this? you get to use the pen directly on screen! there’s been plenty of times where i wished i could just apply a brush/pen directly to the screen to do what i want.

now i can with the cintiq 12wx.

cintiq12wx_6.jpg

my only problem is that it goes for about a cool $999.00 and i’m pretty broke at the moment. but if you got the dough – i’m sure its worth the buy. and if you have a spare one handy – i’ll gladly take it off your hands. :)

adams and leibovitz – pt.2

so we went to the Adams and Leibovitz exhibits at Corcoran’s this past saturday. it was awesome.

the day was beautiful and had descent temperatures. sunny and blue skies – a perfect day to trot around DC.

dcsky.jpg

i’m glad that i got my tickets ahead – it was pretty darn busy. we stood in line way past our “12:00″ entry time frame. i think we finally got into the gallery by 12:45ish.

once you get inside, you still have to wait in line even longer.

***note to self: buy tickets further in advance, not using the ‘will call’.***

because this was one of those special showcasing exhibits, i couldnt take any photos. i have to go back. there was still alot of other pieces of art that i need to check out. next time.
