yesterday in wicker park my car died at the intersection of damen/division. recent 30-year-old max rockwell was kind enough to show up and give it a jump. howevs it's still dead, so: need new battery (album title UFO). looked up the auto parts store by my apt, o'reilly auto parts. their ticker symbol = ORLY
in other news they're putting epoxy on the floors at metro and it's making me light-headed
finally, my internet band put out a new mixtape today featuring artwork by the very talented karen "tinsel" (as one blog wrote it).

When asked who he would love to hear on the track, Pill had high hopes. “On some trap shit, that would [sound] good on a tempo like that, you gotta throw the boy Jeezy on there,” he said. “You know what a dream record would be [though]? Me, Jeezy and Gucci. To see both of them on a record, that would be a dream but you know that’s not gonna happen. I mean, them two good dudes, they kick that good street shit. I got much respect for both of them, and I would love to cut a record with either of them individually [as well].”

A mere matter of days before Charlemagne the God was let go from 100.3 The Beat in Philly, an entire hip-hop station here in St. Louis, also called 100.3 The Beat, was dropped like a bad habit. The entire staff was up and fired and replaced with Halloween music. And then once Halloween was over, it switched over to Christmas music. Who knows what they’re gonna play once Christmas is over.

so I was at the Y earlier today moving up the basic cable TV dial when I found a public access show called expose. it's kinda terrible. after a really awkward interview, they played this:
I lol'd then went further up the dial to see hood internets on JBTV play the boing sound just before credits. BOING!

009 H1N1 influenza virus confirmed in Iowa cat
November 4, 2009 – A 13-year old cat in Iowa developed signs of a respiratory infection after several people in the household were ill. Preliminary testing was positive for 2009 H1N1 on October 29, and the results were confirmed on November 2. This is the first report of a cat infected with H1N1. The cat has recovered from its illness.
To date, this is the first cat confirmed infected with the 2009 H1N1 virus. Two ferrets, one in Oregon and one in Nebraska, have also recently been confirmed infected with the 2009 H1N1 virus. The Nebraska ferret died, but the Oregon ferret has recovered. To date, there is no evidence that the ferrets or the cat passed the virus to people.

So I've been busy and back to school - doing things like letting 20 year old kids copy my physics homework and pumping my fist when the melting point of a solid matches a number I found in a book. It's surreal most of the time, but not hilarious enough to save with a triple lindy. Anyway, the payoff is far down the road so for now it's a grind. Here are some lame jedi jokes I found when I searched youtube for the comic strip I blog about. three minutes worth!
Also: petecroke.com was uploaded to bob nanna's never ending polaroid today - or it posted to facebook, or some shit - anyway I went back to the beginning. A few WWB'ers scattered about i.e. Topher and Hayward

Rewatch the first 15 seconds. When the ATF people show up to (presumably) bust the Hot Boys, Juvenile tries to lead an escape. Only when they get to the door we see Juvey shake the handle and then shout, "Man, the door locked, let's get up outta here." Then they crash through a window. But they're inside the house. Inside. And they can't figure out how to get out.

the new megadeth album, endgame, is officially out today, and it kicks so much ass. i never thought i'd say this, but they are SO back. this is their best record since rust in peace, and is a polished effort that goes back to their metal/thrash roots.
aaaaand, a new slayer record in november... 2009 is shaping up to be a pretty awesome year for metal.

I have previously worried that my neighbors watch me from the one window in their house that overlooks our back yard.
However, the fact that they appear to be having sex in front of that window RIGHT NOW would seem to suggest that either:
a) They are unaware of the vantage point & thus don't spy on us
or
b) They are keenly aware of the vantage point, and are rather randy.

Forget the hat, this cat just likes a chat
ALYSSA BETTS
August 29th, 2009
A TERRITORY man claims his pet cat can speak English, with a vocabulary of seven different words so far.
Robert 'RJ' Duncan, of Palmerston, says his budgie Piccaninny can also speak.
But when the Northern Territory News first visited the ex-boxer, 34, and his wife Sandra, 32, at their Gray home, the house-bound moggie grumpily declined to comment.
Instead, he scratched Mr Duncan a few times before bolting to his bedroom and barricading himself in his cupboard.
During a second visit, Mischief was much friendlier - and more talkative. All gathered heard him speak to Sandra, calling her "mum".
Read more: Chatty cat bites back
Read more: Second chatty cat minds it manners
Mr Duncan said the two-year-old cat - which he and his wife adopted from his feral mother in Katherine - was most vocal at night.
"He starts mouthing off when he wants his food - when we start cooking," he said.
"He can say seven words all up: mum, no, now, what, f**k, prick and why.
"He can't say 'dad' yet, which is a bit of a prick. That's how he got the word 'prick' I reckon, because I say it a lot."
Mr Duncan - sitting at their wooden table rolling a roll-your-own - said Mischief's first word was "mum", which he started saying about the age of six months.
Human babies are a little slower - they can usually manage to produce a slurred "mama" or "dada" about 10 months of age.
Mr Duncan said Mischief wasn't apeing the words - he knew what he was saying.
"He calls out to (Sandra) and everything - he'll sit at the back window, while she's in the garden, calling out 'mum'.
"In the evening time, if you don't drop whatever you're doing and pay attention to him, he calls you 'f**k prick'. If he really cracks the s**ts, he'll piss in his drinking water just to let you know he's really s***ty."
The foul-mouthed feline doesn't take non-attention kindly. During the Duncans' wedding it swore at guests.
Mr Duncan said the guests were pre-warned, so "they pretty much ignored him".
The Duncans' budgie is less adventurous with its words.
It just says "s**t".
Mr Duncan will now be trying to film his moggie to prove Mischief can really talk.
"He's a character ... he's one of these cats that's a bit too brainy for his own good."

Alright America, we've all been watching this health care controversy from afar, and I've just got to know what's up with the ridiculous claims being laid at the prez's feet? Since when was providing essential social services an inherently fascist activity (Limbaugh's Hitler comparisons)? A debate is one thing, but I've been down right gobsmacked by some the words being tossed out by opponents to the plan.

I decided I was going to be a better person, starting right then and there – starting, in fact, with G-Force, a movie I had only an hour before referred to, sight unseen, as "that goddamn gerbil spy movie." My first mistake: G-Force stars guinea pigs, not gerbils.

[I]t must be said that some of the action sequences are impressively executed and edited. One of the best is a fairly simple gag in which two guinea pigs go rocketing down a suburban street in an old tire. I mean simple as a visual conceit, since a great deal of effort and ingenuity must have been expended in putting this amusing little sequence together.

Your ability to enjoy G-Force will correlate directly with how funny you find the idea of guinea pigs as action heroes.

Um, does zappos photoshop the colors on their shoes to make them look "cooler?" I ordered some Tigers on there this week. They looked pretty sweet, yellow on blue, you know? Except what I got was almost clown looking orange on blue. I went to the site again and they clearly looked more yellow, ok my fault, monitor must just be calibrated funny. Except... just when I was about to look away I noticed something. Look closely at the photo below, the shoe behind the one in front is closer to the color I got, almost exact. So uh, anyone else think they might be taming down their more outrageous colors? Anyone else have experience with this?
