Sarah Silverman Slays Me
The new season of The Sarah Silverman Program is hilarious, but for some reason this one minute clip from a couple episodes back totally killed me. Dumbest shit ever — amazing.

This is seriously a big deal to me. I was an OiNK user for years so I’ve been in a bit of a daze since I heard the news. Word is the owner has been released, but I don’t know what sort of legal action is being taken against him.
I’m reminded of back in the [...]
OiNK is Dead!!!
Worst fucking news I have ever heard in my entire life!!! I’m seriously heartbroken!!!
From Canadian press:
British, Dutch police close file-sharing website OiNK, arrest its alleged manager
LONDON - British and Dutch police shut down what they say is one the world’s biggest online sources of pirated music Tuesday and arrested the website’s 24-year-old suspected operator.
The invitation-only [...]
Portland Skyline
This is the first shot I’ve taken since I’ve been here. Well, actually it’s a bunch of shots, which I’ve stitched into a panorama. It’s cliché; on weekends there are dozens of photographers shooting from the exact area I shot this, but I needed to get my camera out of its bag. I took a [...]

Here’s a weird phobia I’ve discovered:
I’ve noticed that while washing my hair, I can close my eyes in the shower, but if the water turns cold I have to open them, even if it means getting shampoo in my eyes. I can’t handle the cold water (without my sight) because it simulates the feeling of [...]
Brick & Mortar is a Ripoff + Bees & Hives
Finally picked up tickets for The Hives today, then headed to Powell’s to try to make my trip downtown more worthwhile.
Wait, what? Living in a city that bands come to? Weird.
I ended up purchasing Carl Sagan’s The Varieties of Scientific Experience for $27.95 in hardcover. You know what that exact same title costs on Amazon? [...]

I had originally planned to go downtown today to the Crystal Ballroom to purchase tickets for The Hives, but another show was in progress and the box office was swamped. I opted then to head to Powell’s to look at photography books I can’t afford and possibly pick up some Henry Rollins titles. Powell’s is [...]

So I’ve been a citizen (well not technically, I guess) of another city for a week now, and aside from desperately missing my friends and exgf, I’m thoroughly enjoying myself. It’s almost surreal, really; at no point have I ever gone into a bar, restaurant or other public place and heard shitty music playing. In [...]

Was bored and whipped up this looping ringtone of “Still Alive”, the infectious song at the end of Portal, because I wasn’t happy with what I was finding online. Of course, this is the tinny “radio” version that plays in various areas of the game, because I thought it sounded much better as a tone [...]
