now i don’t feel so bad about shipping charges on ebay after finding out how much the us government spent to ship a few $1.31 screws to iraq.
on the other hand, maybe those rumored “black-ops” groups do exist and this is how they’re funded…

looking forward to
oh yeah…since i’ve been to quite a few movies in theatres lately so i’ve seen a lot of trailers and there’s a couple that actually look interesting.
the kingdom – this one caught my eye mostly because michael mann is attached to the project. the trailer has that same kind of feel as traffic or syriana. its got that yellow tint, shaky cam, but its also kind of the first movie i can think of to be set in the current middle east chaos.
american gangster – this movie looks like a nice epic tale. my only beef is that denzel washington is in it. he’s like robert deniro with his one look. the outraged, head trembling, spittle spewing jowls flapping look. i’m not sure if my interest in the movie will outweigh my dislike for denzel.
war – this looks interesting solely because of jason statham. he’s just a good action star.
big teef!
i find this guys art strangely amusing. every time i see one of his characters i think “my toof!”. probably doesn’t hurt that i first saw his drawings on an iphone picture.
fellow genius
did you know that i share the same birthday as karl lagerfeld?!?! that makes me very excited for some reason. perhaps i’m hoping some of his genius made it into my pea brain.
jackets
well since fall is just around the corner, i’ve been looking for a nice jacket. and its pretty damn hard. mostly due to lack of fundage.
this is a nice candidate though. black heavy wool nom de guerre. its a steal at $750 when you put it up against the dior jacket i saw at barneys but i think i’m going to have to lower my standards a bit more.
anybody going to nyc or japan mind doing some shopping at uniqlo for me?
i wonder what walmart’s got in store…
in a world of hurt
the girlfriend went out of town for work so i decided to fix some nagging issues with the bathroom. what a pain in the ass. its been three straight days of 14 hour work days on my knees. my legs are so stiff and my back is so sore i think i’m going to die. i’m old.
oh and when i took steph to the airport i played around with their big luggage scales and made the mistake of weighing myself… somebody buy me lipo. actually i think i’m going to go on a cleanse and then a diet and just generally clean up my eating.
speaking of which, i finally caved after at least a month of watching those damn “baconator” commercials. its not bad. it just needs some lettuce and tomato to make it not so dry. and the bacon needs to be thicker slices. i’d eat it again.
update: while trying to find a picture of the baconator i found the nutritional information. 830 calories, 51 gr of fat. i don’t think i’ll be having another one…
beyond means
i don’t know why i do it. we end up going to a lot of high-end fashion stores when shopping with the girlfriend and i always end up wandering into the guys section. i should really stop.
in seattle the other day, wandered into the new barney’s and of course fell in love with two different ridiculously out of reach pieces.
a dior homme jacket. kind of a car coat/military jacket in black of course. super nice fabric but more importantly a great cut and fit. $1295
a raf simons 3/4 length wool trench with some very unique very cool pocket openings. they were shaped kind of like amoeba, backed with a metallic lining. $1695
oh and i went to lay my grubby little paws upon an iphone. love it. want it. need it.
bourne ultimatum
finally managed to go see it last week. loved it.
before we set out to see it though i had to get steph up to speed so i tied her to the couch and forced her to watch the first two bournes and then we set out to catch the third.
insane foot chase through tangiers. crazy car chase in nyc. a crazy fight using a hardcover book as a weapon. yeah its a damn good movie.
funny aside, the car chase scenes were filmed using a suv with the stunt driver strapped to the top of the car so they could get proper interior shots of matt damon.
where does the time go?
its been over a week since i last posted and i have no good reason for my lack of verbiage.
well actually i do. extreme laziness followed immediately by intense work.
but i’m catching up now.
