Free movie

Last night my roommate, Amy, and I went to see Saw V...



about halfway through I feel a little tug at my shoulder "can you switch places with me?" Amy whispers.. "I just saw a mouse"... So I taker her seat.. and sure enough.. a few minutes later the little fucker skitters by...



Needless to say, right after the movie was over I went and complained to a manager.. a rodent infestation is more than enough to qualify for a full refund I think. The manager agreed. Free movie!!

Last Halloween

was pretty amazing.

Oct 31 1993

Actor River Phoenix dies of a drug overdose on the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room in West Hollywood. Rumor has it that the lovely and intelligent Christina Applegate "stood there and watched."

Oct 31 1926

Houdini dies in room 401 of Grace Hospital in Detroit. The escape artist was killed by diffuse peritonitis, after having undergone an emergency appendectomy. Contrary to popular belief, the fatal appendicitis could not have been caused by a punch to the stomach.

A photo that changed the world

Betty Grable 1942

World War II took American boys to far-flung places and some rough duty. For many, mail came infrequently at best, and at times it held only a Dear John letter. The troops were desperate for some link to home, some reminder of what they were fighting for. Betty Grable and her million-dollar legs were the perfect balm for what ailed ’em, and this 1942 pinup of the easygoing girl with oodles of back-home charm, and other assets, made the war seem a little more bearable. Sexy pinups later grew to poster size, perhaps most memorably in the endlessly reproduced portrait of Farrah Fawcett.

Soundtrack to a busy week

Last week was my busiest week of the year. The CMJ Music Marathon. I work the event and barely have time to breathe. This year I listened to Johnny Cash's A Hundred Highways on my ipod almost non stop. it was the eye of the storm in a hurricane of chaos. Isn't music a beautiful thing?

douchebag of last week

The Axe chocolate man. Did I mention how much I hate this?

This fucking commercial..

played on repeat on big flat screen televisions at the exhibit floor at this year's CMJ Music Marathon. If i ever see it again I'm jumping out the nearest window.

A photo that changed the world

Anne Frank 1941


Six million Jews died in the Holocaust. For many throughout the world, one teenage girl gave them a story and a face. She was Anne Frank, the adolescent who, according to her diary, retained her hope and humanity as she hid with her family in an Amsterdam attic. In 1944 the Nazis, acting on a tip, arrested the Franks; Anne and her sister died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen only a month before the camp was liberated. The world came to know her through her words and through this ordinary portrait of a girl of 14. She stares with big eyes, wearing an enigmatic expression, gazing at a future that the viewer knows will never come.

Oct 13 1972

Due to poor visibility, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying the Montevideo Old Christians Rugby Club crashes high in the Chilean Andes. Of the 45 people aboard the flight, only 27 survive the crash, and just 16 make it to their rescue 72 days later. Their secret? Cannibalism. According to one survivor, "the slight browning of the flesh gave it an immeasurably better flavor, softer than beef but with much the same taste."
