Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson is, umm, so crazy. I just can't help but love how he makes everything look like cheap porno. I really should have impulse-purchased that issue of Arktip.

FBI seizes Indymedia servers

It appears that FBI has seized Indymedia UK's servers, just a few days before the election.

I want to die

A Google image search for "i want to die".

God, I guess it is not possible to avoid Kurt Cobain, the eternal talentless fuck, for more than three days at a time. I was just so close. Why did I have to search "i want to die"? I want to die.

The Shins on CBC Radio 3

Yay! The Shins are on CBC Radio 3 this week! I really like the Shins despite the fact that they are so very, very old.

I miss Toronto

I miss Toronto. Being 4109.9 km away from Toronto sucks.

I really wanted to go to the RESFEST and see kozyndan's show at Magic Pony. Uhrghh!

Well, it's only four months and twelve days before I am back in Waterloo. I hope that crazy crack whore lady and the senile street preacher dude are still hanging out around Queen and Lansdowne.

Beck's album delayed

The album's release date has been pushed to early 2005 from Fall 2004. This makes me feel very sad.

It's been a while

It's been a while since the last post.

Time sure does go fast when you eat ice cream and Jello everyday.

"Mr. Wizard - The Legend of Speed"

I got the current issue of RES a couple days ago, and along with it came the Nike "Art of Speed" DVD containing a collection of short films (about the "speed") commissioned by Nike. I watched it my sister, and I liked it very much. I know I am supposed to throw it away in disgust or at least be very blasé about it, but I was extremely bored and all the pretty colours on the DVD slipcase excited me too much.

The best short was "Mr. Wizard - The Legend of Speed" by Friends With You. Its ending is just absolutely mind-bending.


This is the craziest thing I have seen in last three months. Posted by Hello

While most of the shorts were pretty good or at the least worth watching it once, a few were just terrible. Yeah, shame on you Associates in Science; your short is just crap. (These people also made the crap Interpol video. It won't be long before they find themselves on trial at the International Court of Justice.)

Meet you at the CEIT Dofasco Entrance Foyer

Have you been to CEIT lately? I went to CEIT to milk that sweet free wireless Internet connection a few weeks ago and made a startling discovery; every major part of the building has been named after a corporation. Take for example the March Networks Exhibit Atrium.


You can look at pretty rocks and then commit suicide too. Posted by Hello

I, for one, think it is just fantastic that a company that sells techno-fascist digital surveillance systems to civil-rights-stomping police forces around the world supports our university.


Boo! Posted by Hello

I don't like Hamilton, so I automatically dislike Dofasco.


What? Theater? Theater?! It's theatre, T-H-E-A-T-R-E. Jesus. Posted by Hello

First they change their name from Royal Bank of Canada to RBC, and now they (or the sign company) spell theatre, "theater." Argg! I have to go and vandalize the local "RBC Royal Bank" branch now.

My new favourite word

I finally got to actually reading the copy of Tokion that I bought a month ago. My favourite article so far is the one called "Megacities"; it's a discussion on the acceleration of urbanization by a group of experts (well, they sounded like experts) that included Kengo Kuma. The reason I like it so much is because the discussion panel uses words like "McMansion", "homo movents", and "Corbusierian".

The word I definitely liked the most is "techno-fascist". I've heard "fascist techno", but "techno-fascist"? It's just such a great word; I mean, you could use it everywhere. Here's an example:

Girl 1: What are you doing?
Girl 2: Taking care of my techno-fascist blackheads.
Girl 1: But, you don't have any techno-fascist blackheads.
Girl 2: Exactly.
Voice-over: Clean & Clear, under control.


Besides the crazy (made-up) words, I really liked Kengo Kuma's completely unrealistic and insanely fucked-up architectural drawings. After all, he's the guy who designed the Bamboo House.
