NOTICE:

let's review several interesting signs posted near my office.

toyota corolla review

not much to report on this car, it accelerated and handled fairly well for a rental car with over 30,000 miles logged. the best thing about it was the black paintjob; muuuuuch better than driving a goofy white car AND it was right after the raiders beat the chiefs, so being in a black car just felt "right."

the second best thing about it was when, while rocking out to some Poison on the radio, i managed to punch the shifter knob into neutral. it took a moment for me to realize the sudden, hideous screaming noise outside was being caused by my mashing the gas pedal to the floor while the transmission was completely disengaged...

three out of five stars, yo.

four lions

four lions is a monumentally funny movie about terrorists in britain by chris morris. it's also a poignant commentary on contemporary society's obsession with and complete mismanagement of security.











more info in this nice boing boing interview of mr. morris.

portland part one

i'm actually in harrisburg, PA right now, all the following photos are from last weekend, but i have to tell you this first:

as i was going through security, a TSA guy admired my nike dunk high AC world cup netherlands shoes (big up, jayro). these things are basically safety cone orange and still bright as day since i've only had them one week... long story, short: the dude is blabbing about how he would've loved them in college, team colors were red, white, blue, he was the only one that wore all-red shoes...

i can not tell you how hard it was for me to keep from blurting out "that's cool, also, you're completely colorblind."

anywayzzzzz... P! D! X!
