an important question

while hanging out with some friends this weekend, a very important question arose: can you excuse eddie murphy for the last 2 decades of complete shit that hes made because of his involvement in beverly hills cop I and II (and raw as well)? follow up question: does anyone wanna go see meet dave with me and nick?

We (Anamanaguchi) covered “Susanne” by Weezer, love that song.

haha wow, sweet. i completely forgot about this song until right now. how come weezer wrote a million great songs for soundtracks (mallrats, angus, etc) that dont show up anywhere else?

gre's

im going to eugene in a minute to take gre’s. out of curiosity, i google image searched ‘gre’ to see what i could find to represent the task which im about to tackle. the results were rather typical; a lot of pictures of crookedly stacked tests, sample graph questions, and asian kids. the following picture, however, is my favorite mostly because it has very little, if anything, to do with the gre. or education. or literacy in general.

remiss

oh fair tumblr, once again you find yourself cast aside by the endless engagements of an otherwise productive blogging existence. in other words, holy crap this last couple weeks has been intense. first, i graduated (ok i actually did that in december, but i did the whole commencement business, the parents flew up, and there was cake, so it feels a little more like actual graduation). saw anathallo at the doug fir. beautiful. met henry outside the comic shop and went to megs super-fun-birthday-why-is-there-a-giant-scotty-dog-in-the-bar extravaganza, which actually ended up being a g8 summit of incestuous blog love (with only slightly fewer cops in riot gear than when the actual g8 gang gets together). did portlandy things with the folks, which is always nice. then worked like crazy last week.

on saturday, i finally got around to swinging by my friend dan’s new condo out in the tron (because ironically enough, hes my first official property owning adult friend) where we all pwned some c.o.d. n00bs and sang some rock band poorly. except for rohit, who i can only describe as the indian neil diamond. and since neil diamond is the jewish frank sinatra, im not exactly sure what that makes rohit, other than confused. sunday was spent driving and building a puzz3D. also, on the entertainment front, ive been watching the tudors and reading the mandala of sherlock holmes. to go along with lindssay a little, the tudors is like rome, but with more elaborate cod pieces. the sherlock holmes book is the first one published since sir arthur conan doyle kicked the bucket and it was worth the wait. the great detective is portrayed perfectly, especially given the backdrop of the novel; a mysterious 2 years that he spent in india and tibet after faking his own death (something that happens in one of the original holmes novels). anyways, thats it for now, but ill be back more often now. promise. oh dont be like that, cmon.

update!

here (or like 2 posts below this one) i posted a video of bill moyers being ambushed by a bill o’reilly producer. in summation, moyers FTW. but just as moyers predicted, it was chopped to shit to create this piece on o’reillys show, which obviously doesnt shed a very pleasant light on moyers. lookit, im not stupid nor am i naive. i know all news shows, particularly the punditry, edit their raw footage in a manner intended to tell a particular, often slanted, story (the same strategy is employed in every movie dziga vertov ever made, or in any episode of the real world) but jesus man, this is pretty shameless. the raw footage is obviously out there and easily accessible, so why the unabashed misrepresentation?
