Wow, almost a week without posting

I've been quite busy recently.

I had to sleep, eat, eat, sleep, eat, sleep every day. It was very exhausting.

Yeah, and I went to Toronto on Thursday and bought an Ugly Doll.

Well, I have to go back to pretending to study. Bye!

"Guys Gone Wild"?

Salon.com is running a story about Guys Gone Wild, a spin-off of the Girls Gone Wild franchise. While the company that produced Guys Gone Wild fervently maintains that the indended audience are straight women, the consensus is that it's really a gay porn. Salon.com's reviewers didn't sound like they bought into the company's claim.

Here's an excerpt:

Nathan: OK, first of all, do straight guys shave their pubic hair like that?
Jen: That's gay.
Nathan: Super gay. That guy's shaved too. Maybe straight guys are doing this now.
Jen: No.

The article goes on to inform the readers that the makers of Girls Gone Wild "has sold $100 million worth of DVDs." Who's buying these craps? Judging from the late-night informercials, Girls Gone Wild is very, very boring, has lower T&A per minute than most shows on Showcase, and only features people in dire need of extensive plastic surgeries.

Here's another excerpt:

Jen: Oh yeah. And look at his tiny little penis! This one looks like he knows what he's doing. He's totally a stripper. OK, and why is it that men make that move?
Nathan: What move?
Jen: That shaking-the-dick-around move.
Nathan: Dunno. Again with the shaved pubes!
...
Nathan: And these are not manly men. They're man-boys. That's much more the erotic territory of the homo. Look: shaved again. Now they're doing "dick tricks." And it looks like the girls behind the camera are into the ass slapping too. Are you into ass? Are girls into guy ass?

So, uhh, well, what's with the "dick trick" stuff? People do this? That's just disturbing.

Vote now for your new global overlord

Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, the San Francisco artist of the 60x1.com and MaoDonald/Jesus bin Laden fame, have set up a site where you can vote for your favourite global overlord, or Global President, if you prefer.

It looks like Hung has been doing a lot of work recently (for example, the cover art for Rem Koolhaas' new book). This makes me glad (I thought he got mauled to death by rabid dittoheads or something when the updates stopped).

Well, so who are you going to vote for? I voted for Idi Amin; I think we need more leaders who knows how to appreciate some good human flesh.

The mystery of the missing sculptures

The mystery of missing sculptures at Hagey has been solved!

Well, I knew where they were for quite a while now; I saw them a few weeks ago while chasing the squirrels. I just didn't have the time to go take the pictures.

Anyhow, they are safe and sound at the General Services Complex parking lot.

Now that the renovation to accomodate Stalin's pickled body has been completed, the sculptures should go back to their original places. That is, once the fine people at Raytheon have fitted them with death rays. (You just don't know what these greedy pig fascists are going to do, you know.)

Where did the sculptures go? 

Hagey Hall before the construction began. 

Oh, what are those? 

The sculptures, yay! 

400 Philip St.: the happiest place on Earth. 

FYI, J.G. Hagey Hall of the Humanities will be renamed J. Stalin Hall against the Humanities. 

Finger Eleven is, like, so rad!

I didn't have anything to do Friday, so I decided to go to the Kitchener Best Buy and witness the breaking of the Guiness World Record (see the post from July 12, 2004).

I arrived at the Fairview Park Mall bus stop slightly before 5 p.m., so I decided to browse the mall, and, well, I got distracted at the Gap. It was already 6 p.m. when I got to Best Buy.

I had real hard time finding Finger Eleven in the store. They were just standing at the back corner, getting pictures taken by the tards (there were only about twenty of them - no world records broken here).

Later, I was in Kitchener downtown to pick up some magazines at KW Bookstore and to see how many tards have lined up for Finger Eleven. There were only thirty-one in the line. Thirty-one! I was quite disapponted to not see the Guiness World Records for most tards per square feet broken.

It was still a good day though. I got Tokion, Giant Robot, ReadyMade, and a $54.50 Gap shirt for $19.99.

Best Buy: God's Gift to the Mankind(TM). 

Line-up for Finger Eleven's show at the Element in Kitchener downtown. 

Travis, u r my sk8er boi

I don't know if you have, but I've recently noticed a poster taped to a window at Chemistry 2.

Could it be an Avril Lavigne poster?

Ahh! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! It is an Avril Lavigne poster! And, it says "my skater boi." Boi, with an 'i'.

I have never seen anything as disgusting as this.

With the help of Google, I was able to find the culprit of this abhorrent act: this dude.

My heartfelt condolence to those who will be taking CHEM 421 in Winter 2005.

WTF? 

"Skater Boi"? Isn't it supposed to be Sk8er Boi? I guess silly Avril just forgot how the title of her second single is spelled. 

Together We're Heavy

I got a copy yesterday (the day of release) from HMV. (No, I did not go to the crazy midnight buy-fest cum release party.) For those who don't know, Together We're Heavy is the new album from the 24-member group the Polyphonic Spree.

I have only listened it several times, but I think I can safely say, overall, it's on par with their first album, The Beginning Stages of..., which, by the way, is an excellent record. The recording's definitely cleaner (How could it not be? The Beginning Stages of... was, well, a quick demo tape.), cover's much prettier, and the songs are better.

Given that, the song I think is going to be the first single, Section 12 (Hold Me Now), is no Section 9 (Light & Day/Reach for the Sun).

So much prettier! 

Even has a bonus DVD. 

This is just too good. Finger Eleven will be playing at the Kitchener Best Buy from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 16th. The event is, of course, expected to break the Guinness World Records for most tards per square feet.

Anyone interested in going? (I think I am gonna go; morbid fascination has got the better of me.)

OMG, this is the raddest thing ever!!! 

It appears that the National Post box adjacent to Ira G. Needles Hall entrance has been vandalized.
I think there is another one by South Campus Hall; I couldn't be bothered to check whether that one has been vandalized too.

This truly is a cause for celebration. It's deliciously faux anarchististic like Bathroom Liberation Front. As you and I both know, anything deliciously faux anarchistic warrants celebration.

A major thank-you goes out to the imebriated hipster who did this.

NAZI POST: It's all LIES, dude. 

I went to the Sobeys at Fischer-Hallman and Columbia to get some instant noodles, boxes of tissues, and a sunblock.

My 240 mililitre "Our Compliments" (a Sobeys housebrand) SPF 45 sunblock set me back $6.99 + 15% tax (1.05) = $8.04!
That's eight Campbell's Hearty Noodles instant meal, thirty-two Sobeys Raspberry Mini Danishes, or thirty-four Tazo Green Ginger tea filterbags!

Tears run down my face whenever I think about the thirty-two mini danishes or thirty-four teabags.

Well, I guess that the price you pay to not get skin cancer.

Have a Sobeys Raspberry Mini Danish and Tazo Green Ginger tea filterbag, Paul Martin; I mean, you won the fucking election and all.
