The Housing Market


For some reason, I don't foresee the people who live in this complex as being affected by the sub-prime mortgage crisis. I could be wrong.

This reminds me of the "ultimate" tree house that was a regular part of my childhood fantasies. I still kinda wanna see this in person, and maybe spend a saturday night there with my sleeping bag and flashlight.

Meow, Muthafucka, Meow.

A well-done show about a suicidal cat named Maximus. Click here to watch the episodes.

Elektronic Weirdos

Elektronic music drives people to be even weirder than they already are. My theory: when people listen to techno, they start to, subconsciously, believe they are machines. One product of this belief: the "Robot". Dance moves become more rigid and calculated. Body language becomes impersonal (i.e. eye contact is absent). Here is another guy dancing badly and strangely to an elektronic beat. I believe that this supports my idea.

Gay Robot

Move your mouse over this gay robot and see what happens.

I am Baby Cakes, I am the world.

Watch my new favorite online cartoon here.  Click the big play button beside "Watch All Episodes". You'll want to start with "Diary #1" and watch them all the way through.  Great references to art and philosophy, in this cartoon about a 30 year old borderline tard who still lives at home with his dad, gets drunk and engages in role playing games about wizards, ect and then writes about it in his journal. He also raps, curses and uses his own unique vocabulary.  Pretty fuckin' sweet.  

Style Chuds

Campaign Contributors

You can find out who in your area has been giving to which politicians, and even the amount, by going here.  It's a great way to be creepy!  Click on "donor search" and type in your zip code.  If you're from a small town, you'll get to figure out which political party you dentist, pastor, and all of your former teachers belong!  

Reliable HIV testing?


This is a picture of a consignment shop on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.  While I always appreciate versatility, they have gone too far.  Would you really trust an HIV test administered at a thrift store?  Furthermore, it makes me wonder:  From where did those 'gently worn' ironic t-shirts and tattered hipster jeans come, and why are they no longer used by their former wearers?  I guess those are the people who didn't take the free HIV test!
