Wish I was going too

Monday, November 20th, 2006

It’s old, I know, but anybody else like that Jem thing? Ashley got me into it, even though I’ve had a track or two since…forever or something.

This is some sick bass guitar of Amazing Grace. Thanks Jon!
Has anybody seen Piperlime? It’s Gap, Inc.’s latest venture and it involves nothing but selling “more than 100 amazing [...]

I call it the “Shoe Spectrum”

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

This is hardly as funny as it looks. I have way too many shoes now.
I’ve passed my personal shoe saturation mark a long time ago. Unlike most folks, I actually rotate through wearing each of these shoes regularly. But now…my feet and my mind are just thoroughly exhausted from choosing!

About to go under

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

If anybody even noticed, I took off the CAPTCHA thing before you submit comments. I found that it wasn’t really doing too great of a job and it was more of a hassle than anything else. I guess spammers are either real people or just really intelligent machines since they seem to get past the [...]

UCLA student gets tasered multiple times in the library

Friday, November 17th, 2006

This all started when the student could not produce proper ID for the library. I’ll write more later. I’m in class. For now, I’ll just say that the video is quite shocking (no pun intended), and that this is quite some extreme force used by the police officers.

MARIO AND DUCK HUNT WORK!!!!!!!!

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Check this out! I was at the upstate house the other night and I was just fooling around with the old Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and I just happen to get Super Mario Bros. to work! It was like a dream come true!! I’ve been waiting forever to play this game again! Watch the videos [...]

Everybody’s sayin’ different things to me

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I wish my job was to stare at advertising all day long and tell people what works and what doesn’t. That would be da bomb diggity.
Here are some more photos of the Ron Mueck show I talked about in the previous post. [via]
If you’re a long-time reader of Doobybrain, you’ll know that I really like [...]

I want to kiss you and knock ‘em down like we used to

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

I went to the Brooklyn Museum yesterday for the first time. It’s such a nice museum. An extra plus because it’s in Brooklyn (home of all things wonderful–ok, I just made that up). I was there to see the Annie Leibovitz exhibit with my class. It’s basically her life catalog of her work, including some [...]
