cabinets

i think i'm going photo-blog for a while. my camera's run out of space on the card, and there's some fun stuff on there. before pictures of my loved ones naked and/or passed out, tho, another woeful loft story...

so: a strip of moulding running along the edge of the bathroom door was coming off. i've ranted enough about the shoddy workmanship done on the palacial loft (and there's more pictures of shame on the camera), so i decided i would just fix it (rather than write SUCKS in oil paint across the door, for example. (or maybe, if the situation was right, in blood)). so i fetched the hammer and the one-inch brads. keep in mind: these are slightly more powerful than thumbtacks.

i got the second (you can't really call it a) nail halfway into securing this fucking piece of wood when i heard a thud. i responded immediately: stanley, you fuck! what did that big-head bastard do now? but it wasn't the cat. (it never is!) my hammering (a very small tack) had caused about three-quarters of our (colonial-style. sssssss) kitchen shelves to drop off the wall.

diego actually sent someone out to fix the problem that night. i've never had the bottle to look at how he reattached those cabinets.

the dark side is beautiful.

found this when i was looking for images to test the kickstart site. i'd forgotten about it. it was a part of a long-ago cold-call design proposal erinn and i did to try and get the job of designing westwood's new york store's website. she closed it, tho. sad.

when i saw it (again), it struck me how vast and terrible is the gulf between nerdcore and fashion.

tv party tonight!

*sigh*

i finished futurama.

turanga leela

when i first saw the simpsons all those years ago, i was sure it would suck. i didn't see how matt groening could do better than life in hell. i was wrong. same thing happened with futurama. i was wrong again! and it got very sexy toward the end!

cartoon ass

one more season and i'm sure we would have had full-frontal cartoon nudity.

now there's lost. thanks, sheri & m0rg0n!

john locke

damn, tho. it's very good, but helen and i are almost caught up to the current schedule. next comes the endless waiting for the new. like battlestar galactica; they got me hooked, then left me high and dry until fuckin' january.

p.s. futurama vs. black flag (#15)

oh god, noooooo!

STRIKE PUTS BOOZE BIZ ON ROCK$
By CYNTHIA R. FAGEN

November 2, 2005 -- A strike by two major liquor and wine distributors could have New Yorkers thirsting for their favorite top-shelf hooch.

Truck drivers and warehouse workers at Peerless Liquor and Wine Distributors, in Brooklyn, and at Astoria, Queens-based Charmers Industries, walked off the job yesterday, leaving at least 17,000 of some 26,000 licensed restaurants and bars high and dry.

"I found out they were on strike when there was no delivery this morning," said Des O'Brien, owner of Langan's Pub in Manhattan, explaining that the two companies together deliver 70 percent of his wine...

it's already hit eagle street wines & liquor. the lady told me: no more jameson until after the strike. (they haven't had bushmills since i bought the last bottle about four months ago).

i've had to drink jack. i need irish whiskey! can't they bus in some scabs?!

when the first aibo (the ers-110) was released in japan, 3000 were sold in about 20 minutes.

bender had an aibo! his 110 is cooler than my 210, but dierdre has more brains.
