dead ringer

trent reznor and owen wilson.

they could at the very least be brothers.

waste not

it's really telling of the times when they start making toys like these.
Playmobil presents the Hazmat Crew, complete with hazard masks, nuclear waste barrels and a roadblock for those hard-to-control reporters.
ah yes, livin' in the 21st century:
where the light pollution is just right,
the hi-fi is in the background
and the wine is delicious.

the finger to big oil

oil spill in Russia.
affected area is at the heart of the migration route of red-throated and black-throated Siberian diver birds.
over 30,000 birds already dead, along with insurmountable numbers of fish.
this is a horrid case of animal cruelty, and serious, SERIOUS evidence that we need to rethink the ways we power our lives.
dirty oil.
stupid humans.

sausage and art

so i walked around and around the Guggenheim on saturday with a picnic in my purse.

i was armed with a wheat baguette, a spicy sausage and a wine-washed cheese.

i took notes on the loaf of bread, which was conveniently wrapped in paper and stuck out of my bag like a sore thumb.

pretty hilarious.

they are showing an amazing Richard Prince collection and central European photographs through january.

my favorite part? the hundreds of collages.

one of the best exhibits i've seen yet.

i highly recommend checking it out.

sausage and bread and cheese optional.

aqua dots

hey kids! cook up your very own batch of GHB at home! named 2007's toy of the year, the aqua dots set not only resembles a real-life meth lab...
oh no no no...
it also comes complete with an endless supply of dots that turn into the date rape drug when ingested!!!
how this passed inspection, you ask?
they fed them some dots and after digestion, voila!
the inspectors were dim and pretty much sleeping
so out the door the toy came creeping!
they are flying off the shelves, so get yours now if you can, before the recall swipes them all into oblivion and rockets them into space.

only in japan

sketched out by some guy tailing you?

some greasy dude eyeing your bag?

go-go japanese ninja skirt!

designed by Aya Tsukioka to fool would-be attackers and ease women's fear of crime.

inspired by ninja assassins who cloaked themselves in black blankets to disguise themselves at night.

tip #1: if you are alone and being followed... RUN LIKE HELL, as this skirt will not save you.
tip #2: carry a coke around in your bag. this might prevent your attacker from beating the shit out of you when the "machine" eats his money.

DOGMAN

"it was ten years later in ’97,
when a farmer near Buckley was found
slumped over his plow, his heart had stopped,
there were dog tracks all around…
seven years passed with the turn of the century,
a crazy old widow had a dream
of dogs that circled her house at night,
that walked like men and screamed..."

.

there have been TWO dogman sightings in 2007.
TWO.
that midnight snowshoe through the woods over christmas?
i think maybe not.
--lyrics from "the legend", http://www.michigan-dogman.com--

born today

"She sparked world revolution red,
And as with glee they bore
Upon a pike her lovely head...
Her curls
dripped
gore."
