Portable Film Festival

The Portable Film Festival is pretty cool, its a bunch of movies that will fit on your iPod or whatever portable thingy you use. I watched a few last year, I'll probably subscribe to the poddy this year, you can never have too much crap on your iPod (except mine's broke).

Why didn't I ever think of this?

Ok, so here's the deal: these two artists living in New York paint a bunch of stuff they want, then sell it for the cost of that thing (or a swap). Too clever, cause its the kind of gimmick the internet loves. Check it out here: WANTS FOR SALE

They are everywhere!

Lots of movies

I ended up watching a bunch of movies over the weekend, Kirby and I have decided to start borrowing 7 weeklies for $12.95 each week for the near future to collect a bunch of movies we like but don't have, or can't find on dvd. Anyway, on to the movies I watched...

I didn't know what to expect from Stranger Than Fiction but it was actually a really good movie. Not so much of a comedy as a drama with some romance and laughs thrown in. Will Ferrell is pretty good at the whole "serious" actor thing. The ending was a bit sappy though, but I think any movie where the ending doesnt involve half the cast dropping dead is sappy!

Kirby made me borrow Holes and it wasn't too bad... for a kids movie. I can't stand Shia LaBouf, though (he was the only bad thing about Transformers). The little "Zero" kid reminded me of what Zach De La Rocha must have looked like as a child.


I finally went to see The Simpsons Movie, it was awesome. I've been watching this show almost all my life, even now that its become pretty unfunny and gimmicky (the writers are trying to cash in on the gimmicky dumbed down style of Family Guy, rather than the satirical clever style the show had in the past... but that's for another day) but this made me laugh like no new episode has in a long time. It was just like a really long episode, sure, but it was a really long *good* episode, and there was something pretty cool about watching the Simpsons up on a big screen. This has been one of my best years for movies in a long time. I've been to the movies a lot more than in previous years, but that's because there has been more I've actually wanted to see.

The United States of Leland wasnt all that good, or bad. It just one of those depressing teen drama style movies, but there's nothing overly special about it. Ryan Gosling looks hot with black hair. Also I noticed in the credits that Jeremy Enigk composed the score, which makes me wonder why this movie doesn't have WAY more emo kid cred.

Nacho Librewas alright, I laughed at some parts, but I was more interested in doing some ironing. probably a good way to end a weekend of dvd watching, at least I didnt have to think!

Whew, that's it. Pretty Good effort.

Saturday Movie Marathon

I set up my mac mini properly now as a htpc, very exciting. Now I need a new external harddrive to copy over lots of movies onto. I want something where I can pretty much sit around all day with lots of things to watch. Its gonna be awesome.

shoes. shoes. shoes.

You know those awesome shoes in BTTF part 2? Apparently nike patented them 15 years ago, but never did anything with them. I signed the online petition ages ago (lol). I wish Nike would get off their arse and release them, one more air force 1 collab can wait!

A change isn't as good as a holiday

Yesterday I had to move offices cause our old office is needed for a new meeting room. It was our first real "graphics department" and I'm gonna miss it lots. Here is a pic of my old crappy desk that was made in China and was kinda broken. Goodbye little desk.

Never ever ever buy a motorola phone

I bought a new razr last week to replace the one I'd had for nearly two years, cause it had stopped charging.

So I've had this phone 5 days and already the back screen doesnt work.

Fan-fucking-tastic. What a waste of money. AT least this one is charging...for the moment.

I need a new, non shitty phone so bad.

Adam's new blog

My friend Adam has a new blog up here. Read all about him not sleeping, watching lots of movies and doing gay things. Excitement!

KRINK mini mops

These are really ssssick, I think I like the purple best. I'm gonna try to make some mops soon, I'll post pics if I'm successful.

GOOD COPY BAD COPY

I watched this documentary tonight, its really interesting for anyone who has ever downloaded something illegally off the internet (so anyone, basically). I especially found the stuff about techno brega, and the whole soundsystem culture in Brazil that seems to be a real throwback to Jamaica in the 50s/60s.

I really want this book.

Glen E Friedman is awesome but why are his books always so expensive in Australia? He is releasing a book full of photos of fugazi, looks ssssick. Maybe i will preorder it.. I'm sure it will cost heaps though. Personally, I would have called it "this is not a book of fugazi photos" ala their old Magritte-esk band tees. Anyway here it is:
FUGAZI : Keep Your Eyes Open : photos by glen E. friedman

BEST MARKETING CAMPAIGN. EVER.

Boxfresh have a new competition that involves you sticking up posters for them and taking photos to win some cash. It works, I wanna enter.

Threadless is boring. This is cool.

Bloggin

Maybe I will start blogging again i dont know.

Where is my mind?

I'm having a total slump. I thought starting a new journal would help, but it's not. I have been spending too much time on the internet and not enough drawing. Oh, except for bees and stuff, like this:

Sigh. I wish i was in tafe cause then we were forced to draw and at least I would be doing lifedrawing. Computer melted all my skills away. I am good at downloading music and watching streaming videos these days, though. Anyone got some tips on how I can get paid to do that (oh...wait...)
I got justins new cd today for free. Working with a bunch of people who all like different music and all think you're the only person with a burner in your computer can be a good thing sometimes.(the first time I wrote that I wrote with a burning in your computer, sounds like a symptom of something "Doctor I've got a burning in my computer, is it cancer?" meh)

There is a cool cd player at work with a SUB WOOOOOOFAH and it plays dvds and stuff too. It has a bunch of spaces for you to plug in different media cards at the front, and a usb port. Oh China!

Look at this.
