he seems like a good egg.

truly amazing!

2008-02-14T15:10:00.000-08:00

I really hope this guy is a father somewhere, or at least someone's Valentine.

I don't have a Valentine this year, unless you count ma-dukes! Happy Valentines Day Mom!

After a suprisingly good day in Conshohocken today I made a myself some chow and settled down to a bottle of wine and this movie:

And cried my eyes out.

I was talking to someone wise tonight about meditation - I think I need a little of that, or maybe some therapy.

best compy game ever!

2008-02-13T07:02:00.000-08:00

you never make any real 'arrests' or do any actual 'police work' but the object of the game is to try and bed your dead buddies wife. score!

I JUST got settled!

Dan Deacon Interview

2008-01-31T06:34:00.000-08:00

Last night as I was driving back into town WPRB was playing some crazy-blow-your-mind kind of stuff. So out there I had to call the DJ to find out who it was. Turns out it was Dan Deacon's "Wham City." I immediately contacted my local music Guru John Rehr who put me right in line with all this guy's tasty jams.

Here he is being interviewed on a local news affiliate:

If you're in Philly this Sunday, which I am regrettably not, he will be playing at the Church - I suggest you attend.

In all honesty this kid's got me just a bit worried about his "damn long time" yearning for such Stallone-fueled gore, but I love his review name!

Toucher and Rich on WBCN has to be the best radio talk show around - easily the best I've come across in my travels. Here's a two-part phone interview with a representative from the Westboro Baptist Church, which is the religious group planning to picket Heath Ledger's funeral:

Enjoy!

New season of Aqua Teen

2008-01-25T16:50:00.000-08:00

So the 2nd episode of the new (5th) season of Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force is up on www.adultswim.com - and that makes 2 episodes without Shake, Frylock or Meatwad!

Go check them out because so far they've been amazing - I love the character of Marcula - who apparently is the Aqua Teens' landlord. But seriously guys, are you gonna go with this all season?! Is this a big 'fuck you' to all those douchebags calling for more Carl?

"This is not a pace, this is how I live. I wake up, smoke weed, fuck bitches, get my dick sucked -a lot -drink my drink and come here (studio) and do this shit". What am I supposed to do, take a vacation?" - Lil' Wayne

Despite that being my favorite quote from 2007 - anyone who puts out 200 songs a year is a terrible rapper.

Oh, please!

2008-01-24T05:14:00.001-08:00

Weight of the world, eh? I'm sure these two waifs know about as much about pain and suffering as they do about holding a steady job outside of retail. They can't tell you where to get a good sandwich but if you need blow at Savalo's at 3 in the morning they're your best shot.

This is probably how I'd react...

2008-01-09T10:17:00.000-08:00

...unless I were really drunk.

Go check out Lauren's blog

GOOD!

2008-01-09T09:54:00.000-08:00

Damn it's been a long time!

2008-01-09T09:44:00.001-08:00

Sorry y'all (like anyone reads this)

The holidays were fantastic - NH was covered in snow, seriously. Then I came back to Philly for new years, which was amazing. There's something on New Year's Day called "Mummers Parade" - check out a sample here:

The best part of the day is that it's a total shit-show complete with racist costumes and drinking in the street. I got plastered.

Beyond that: The job is stressing me out, someone knifed my bike tires the other night and I had to ride home through the ghetto on my rims and the past couple of days have been incredibly warm.

More later. I promise.

Genius Wii hack! 3-D!

Sorry about all those rediculous posts - here's another movie, but it more than makes up for the nonsense:

Johnny Lee - total genius.

Actually, Michaelangelo's right...

some 'za would probably go really well with those 3 joints.

wow...that's deep.

2007-12-18T21:02:00.001-08:00

this is Megan Fox, the girl from Transformers showing off one of the lamest tattoos in history.

I'm going to be straight with you kiddo - you're really hot, which means you can get away with pretty much anything - but seriously. Tattoos like this are why they don't let you get them until you're 18.

2007-12-18T20:22:00.000-08:00

So...uhh...Jaime Lynn Spears is pregnant.

...I don't know? I mean, I'd usually make a joke here. But it's getting to the point where joking about the Spears family is like joking about the Holocaust.

nah fuck it - these two should totally have a kid.

fancy egg and soup?

2007-12-18T20:14:00.000-08:00

i keep watching this and laughing my ass off wishing i had the whole song.

huge balls!

2007-12-18T07:41:00.000-08:00

check out this story about a prison break.

holy cow! on one hand this is really awesome, I mean, when you don't think about the other hand - which is that now there's a murderer and a gun-runner on the loose. You know, that little thing.

But seriously, shawshank much?

NEW YORK CITY TONIGHT!

2007-12-13T07:47:00.000-08:00

I'm back in Brooklyn tonight! You guys! We should all meet up and get drunk! (like anyone reads this)

I'll be at Fontana's around 9pm for some karaoke, santa-style!

2007-12-12T19:16:00.001-08:00

I miss Brooklyn

2007-12-07T08:25:00.000-08:00

I'm missing New York something awful today.

Jack and Diane

2007-12-07T06:22:00.001-08:00

I saw Juno last night, it was great! And they gave me a t-shirt!

So then I went a-imdb-ing and found this little gem:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0850677/

One line plot synopsis: Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously...

Whole plot synopsis: Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane's charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack's tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.

So now I have a new movie to look forward to.

Just give 'em the Oscar, already!

2007-12-05T11:49:00.000-08:00

Looks like Tom let Katie out of her cage long enough to make a movie:

Is it just me or does Ms. Holmes look like she's got a touch of the down syndrome, especially that first shot of her?

Oh Ted Danson, you were doing so well...

UGGOS!

2007-12-02T08:17:00.000-08:00

Philadelphia was voted the #1 city in the nation for ugliest people recently. Seriously, I'm not making this up. So Philly.com asks the good people here to send in some photos to 'disprove' this stigma.

http://www.philly.com/philly/photos/looking_good_philly.html

Seriously, you're not doing yourself any favors here. I mean, you LEAD with THIS photo?!

New Friends!

2007-11-30T13:22:00.000-08:00

Hey you guys! I'm finally making new friends! Look!

aren't they neat?

2007-11-27T18:18:00.000-08:00

Over Thanksgiving my mom had all these candles that smelled like different things - seriously it was a cornicopia of candle smells. She told me to take one so after some intense smelling I decided on "Christmas Wreath" - but really it just smells like a cut pine tree - which, by the way, smells awesome.

Also my dad gave me a fake little tree to post up in the living room.

Also I nailed my socks to the wall, but that's just because I get paranoid about noise control when I'm stoned.

Pics later!

p.s. happy thanksgiving yeah, yeah.

new cloverfield trailer!

2007-11-27T10:00:00.000-08:00

I've been geeking out about this movie since I saw the teaser for it before Transformers - which sucked so bad all I was talking about afterwards was this movie, and not the Michael Bay CGI-fest I shelled out 10 bucks-a-seizure for.

I'm a nerd!

Andrew and Abbey are coming to town!

2007-11-26T11:33:00.000-08:00

Should be plenty of this:

When I got home tonight from work there were helicopters sweeping over my neighborhood with floodlights.

Well, I'm heading out in a few minutes. Here's some pictures from last night on town!:

What a great night! Wish you were here!

I'm still sick...

2007-11-17T09:56:00.000-08:00

More on this later.

I have to work today.

They should make an obscure, hipster version of Guitar Hero that makes you struggle through songs by Animal Collective and Final Fantasy. There would be no guitar, however the package would include wireless maracas, tight jeans, an oboe, vegan hummus w/pita chips, thick-rimmed glasses and a beard (or hairy armpits for the ladies).

I have to work in Jersey today, so if you're in New Jersey...what the hell are you doing in New Jersey?

I'm SICK!

2007-11-15T16:09:00.000-08:00

UGH!

This is the absolute WORST...

...I MEAN IT!

Literally every year around this time I get sick because I don't have mom around anymore to tell me to wear a coat and when the early signs come (sniffles, stuffy nose, insatiable urge to kill) I usually chaulk them up to allergies. So it's my own fault, because I am an idiot.

Anyone know a good cure for this junk? All I can conjure up from memory is that scene in 'Crocadile Dundee' in which our hero C.D. tells the overcoked guy at the Manhattan party to pour his "sugar" into a pot of hot water, put a towel over his head and breathe deep - crikey!

So, seriously...anyone know of a good cure? Soup? Cocaine in a pot of water?

...anyone have any cocaine?

You can usually see the skyline from these windows!...

2007-11-14T09:00:00.000-08:00

Last night around midnight this wall of fog rolled through Philly like the coming apocalypse...

...or at least like some horror movie I have little interest in seeing.*

*even so, I locked my damned windows!

Hannah Montana Tickets?!!!

This is my buddy James' younger brother getting pranked at his workplace:

Prank aside it's pretty crazy seeing a deejay get into character like that!

2007-11-13T11:41:00.000-08:00

ok, that's enough

SHHHHH!

2007-11-13T11:12:00.000-08:00

Ok guys!

This blog is now officially a secret. I can't link to it anymore so seriously...mum's the word.

extraneous circumstances ok?

I know it's not St. Patty's day but...

2007-11-12T16:46:00.000-08:00

Dearest Jebediah (that's what I'm calling you),

Sorry about the lack of posts (yet again)! Things have been quite hectic what with moving all of my belongings from the temporary apartment across the st (katty corner) to the one I am now in indefinitely - 4th floor walk up son!

Seriously - I'm hiring immigrants next time, should be able to find some able bodies down by the Uhaul storage...

So yeah, moving in and work are pretty muc taking up all my time but I get to spend my hard earned cash at Ikea like every other red-blooded urbanite and deck out the 1bedroom casa del tom so y'all can visit - SOFABED!

Also, I bought some pot in New Hampshire so who knows what that'll do to productivity!

*by the way - I love the frog in this picture. Why the frog Jeb? "What frog?"

what doth life?

2007-11-06T19:20:00.001-08:00

You all need to do yourselves (yes, all three of you) a favor and go to adultswim.com and watch the new Xavier: Renegade Angel from the guys at Pffr - I hope I had enough 'f's in there - it's brilliant.

Also: It's getting colder out - you know what that means? Biathalon Season!

BEARS RULE!

2007-11-04T13:39:00.000-08:00

Well there goes that whole 'a new post every day!' pact - but if I go to New Hampshire for the weekend I think the fact that my parents live in a town where 'internet' is a fishing term and 'e-mail' is church-flyer shortspeak for 'God's eternal love mail' I can be excused for not posting this garbage that nobody reads anyway! ...I don't think any of that made sense...

New Hampshire Rules!

Bears Rule!

Hey kids!

Check out this map*, it's really neat!:

http://inquirer.philly.com/graphics/homicide_map_2007/

*this is the 'Philadelphia Murder Map' from the Inquirer - apparently people killing each other is more common here than closet gays in the republican party! Awesome!

Post the 2nd

2007-10-30T19:56:00.000-07:00

Well...yet again I have decided to forego posting something of value in favor of drinking PBR tallboys and watching complete garbage on the cable I'm blatantly stealing.

Right now I'm staying in a place katty corner to where I'll be living in Philly - the place won't be ready until Thursday and the new landlord is putting me up in this incomplete apartment where bugs creep from holes in the wall like leftover extras from a Peter Jackson movie.

Anyway...part of this "fixer-upper" is a shower drain that really doesn't live up to the name 'drain' - the thing leaks slower than my ass after too much pringles. So while I'm working all day the water that's gathered from my morning shower stays in the tub and chills - this means when I take a shower tomorrow there's a few inches of icy cold water there, which, combined with a hot shower makes for the WEIRDEST SENSATION EVER!

...it's kind of like standing in icecream and being pissed on...so basically it's like participating in an R.Kelly home video

Might as well...

2007-10-29T16:22:00.000-07:00

I was going to start with some major post about how I've left HBO and NYC for a city without an acronym (or a pulse after 2am) to sell beer but instead decided to heat up some caserole and post something delightfully tasteless:

(yes I know it's not new but I missed it so chances are so did you)
