June is Here

We got smashed at our soccer game tonight> I don't remember the score. like 17-6 or something. it was sad. I want to play some crappy team to boost my self esteem. Actually, I don't really feel all too bad, I need rather well, it's just 1/2 of our team isn't up to par with the level of play of the teams we play.

We will be attending a viewing The Fall tonight at AMC. Either the 7 or 10pm show. Dont' know yet. If you're around, give me a shout.

-Tribute to Herb Lubalin. Just a warning, there's a few naked peoples in there, but if you get past that, you can be amazed at the works of the type master.
-Delicious Library 2: program that allows you to catalog your music, movies, toys, etc. Seems pretty awesome, but I'm not about to throwdown 40 bucks for something I'd probably rarely use. Maybe if people borrowed my movies on a regular basis or something. Either way, the interface looks real clean and easy to use. If anyone has seen it in action, let me know how it goes.
-Creative Laundry: I dont believe the name fits the products. Just a nice organizing system for your laundry appliances and everything involved. It's not really 'creative' but more less Functional....just trying to cater to the creatives.

-CINEMATYPOGRAPHY. Pretty sweet idea-combining typefaces with movie titles, see all at flickr.
-Customized Fruit. Via Mike
-I guess you can rent your own inflatable Human Foosball set up. Via Mike

-Trailer for the new Coen Brothers flick (Red Band -Trailer)
-Mr. Kolvitz sent this over to me tonight-'66 Vespa w/sidecar, and I'm adding this one to my wishlist. I need it. and if anyone knows how I can get 10k in the next 3 days, let me know. It happens in the movies....

Mastering the Internet

Some people want to know my secret. Well, here it is.

Puma Disc Blaze

These have to be the most ridiculous shoes ever, so I must share.

The Puma Disc Blaze 1990s Tetris Pack. Yes, I said Tetris. You know you like that Tetris print in there....



and they're on eBay....

We're All on Arrival

-The week is half over, and that feels good, despite my lack of productivity on side projects at home. But nice knowing that Friday is around the corner. Caught Prince Caspian this weekend with the family. It was 'ok,' and I think it's safe to say it failed to meet my expectations. Not really even sure why, but it I was just a bit disappointed in it. and what's with trying to throw a Caspian/Susan love story in there. Lame, that's what.
-I tried to catch the England vs. USA game at work; being the internet master I am, I found a website to stream the game. I was half working on stuff, so I'd only catch parts but could listen to it. USA got smashed 2-0. Figured as much. but England dominated in possession and opportunities.
-It's been a rather uneventful evening. Here's some links:

-We are the World: Japanese Karoake Impersonations
-Indiana Jones Movie Mistakes, considering you have some time to waste.
-I suppose when I become rich and famous, I'll install my own bowling lanes. I somehow feel like then, I'd have to beat someone down with the pins and make sure they know that I drink their milkshake.
-I saw this little tidbit while setting up the calendar for Oklahoma Today, and thought it was just a tad bit funny, but the black power ranger will be in Tulsa at Defcon. I know that's on your priority list.
-Real Life Domino's Noid
-Quite possibly one of the best product/food designs ever: The Easy PB&J Jar
-Keyboard Shortcut Skins. I don't really Need this, but sometimes it would be handy.

-Also, I'm trying to figure out when to have the Lee Brothers mid-summer BBQ. I'm looking a possible late June or mid-July. Not sure yet, I'm kind of waiting on our indoor soccer season schedule, to see if we have any free Saturdays. but it will most definately be on a Saturday, and will happen. so be on the loookout lookout.

Nothing like seeing an email from a Sales and Marketing Manager for a publishing company, in full-on comic sans. Good job with that one. I kind of don't want to take them seriously.

Summer Movie Preview

OK, So I'm about two weeks late trying to get this going, but here it goes. I've compiled a list of movies that I feel will be worth checking out. I would have devised some sort of 'buzz-worthy' meter, but that just takes up too much time for my blog. I'm going to do my best to put these in chronological order...

MAY 2
Iron Man: A little obvious, I know, considering all the hype has already passed and knowing it did quite well the first week. I saw it this week, and it was quite enjoyable. Well-paced, the characters didn't seem to get on my nerves, but wasn't the same caliber as Batman Begins...... Definately worth a watch though. oh, and how come no one told me 'The Dude' was in it?

Son of Rambow: British Indie Comedy involving a kid wanting to make his own Rambo movie. Sounds promising. I'm almost certain it won't play in OKC, but I'll be sure to check this one out when it's out on dubbed video dub.

MAY 9
The Fall: This seems to promising, with Pushing Daisies/Chickasha native, Lee Pace, in the front seat. The visual look great, but I wonder if the story will hold up. Either way, this looks good.

Tracey Framents: I don't know too much about this film, but I guess the movie is shown in fragments like the trailer. and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Just seems like an 'ok' story, but it's getting publicity due to the success of Ellen Page and Juno.

MAY 16
Prince Caspian: If you've ever watched the old British versions, I think you'll be equally excited to see a well produced versions of the Chronicles of Narnia are being made. I enjoyed the first and this one seems to be on the same page....just darker and more action.

MAY 22
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull: Another obvious choice. It's about 20 years since they made the last one, so it will be interesting to see how much CG will be used or how 50 year old Ford will hold up. Either way, I'm excited to see it.

JUNE 27
Wall-E: It's a Pixar movie, I don't need to say anymore.

JULY 11
Hellboy II The Golden Army: Not the biggest Hellboy fan, or even really excited about the first one. But after watching a couple films from Guillermo del Toro (especially Pan's Labyrinth), I've grown to enjoy the intense creatures and film making, which on the sidenote, I believe it's up to make the Hobbit.

JULY 18
The Dark Knight: YES YES YES YES YES YES YES> I'm ready.

JULY 25
American Teen: I know I've posted a link for this before. Just seemed like an interesting documentary, and it's getting quite the buzz. Also, it will be showing at OKC's deadcenter film fest, June 12, with the director. I need to hit that up.

Baghead: From the people that made The Puffy Chair. Super indie film. I'll check it out when it comes out on video.

AUGUST 8
Pineapple Express: I know you're probably tired as I am from seeing Judd Apatow's name placed on everything, but I can't help myself to anything that involves some or part of the cast of Freaks and Geeks. Plus David Gordon Green (All the Real Girls, George Washington) is directing.....really? Looks stupidly hilarious.

AUGUST 15
Star Wars-The Clone Wars: A full CGI movie.....George Lucas, you lost me. But I'll probably still get suckered into going. just because it's Star Wars.

Towelhead: This is coming from Alan Ball, writer of American Beauty and Six Feet Under. That sounds promising enough for me.

------

I could probably compile a list of equal size of all the movies NOT to watch, but that's a waste of my time, but this list of 8 movies that will suck, pretty much sums it up.

Rainbow Road

-Congrats to Shannon, getting accepted to the Graduate Program at LSU.
-Yesterday's weather was awesome.
-Mariokart for the Wii is super fun, but it won't let me play with my sister, anyone else have problems playing with friends?
-I decided today that I'm going to date Kaki King and she is going to play songs for me.
-Video of Force Unleased-Duel Mode for the Wii
-Target knows exactly what my mom needs for Mother's Day
-Swedish VHS tape covers
-Life Before Death. Interesting Photograph Series
-Indiana Jones Trailer 2. On the sidenote, Mike, Shannon and I will be watching the first three here shortly, prob. start this week/weekend, if anyone else is interested.
-For Emily-LOLCatBible
-Largest Foosball Table in the World. That looks fun.
-And the Fanciest Foosball Table
-The Dark Knight-Trailer 2. YESSSSSSSSS

Saturday/Garage Sale

I failed to mention this: Emily and Shannon are having a garage sale today. Come by and get some stuff
Here's a small listing.

and will be getting rid of the infamous Mr. Groucho. I know you want it.

Are You Lightning?

I swear I'm going to shoot the neighbors dogs. I woke up to them barking, which lasted about 45 mins. and I think I heard my other neighbor yell "shut up!" as well. Didn't. Then as soon as I finally get out of bed, they stop. Figures. The storm last night, kind of stalled my going to bed as well. So I'm not feeling too energized this morning. and I have a headache. Still working on my summer movie list. Here's some links I've stocked up.

-Time Well Wasted. Snowboard Video intro.
-120 Crayon Color Codes and Facts
-Russian Circles Getting Remixed. Should be interesting.
-New Feature over at Veer: Create your own World. I made one the other day. I also made want this shirt. but nooooooooooooooooo small. I'm pissed.
-Massimo Vignelli Limited Edition NYC Subway Print. I want one.
-Nike Football by Guy Ritchie. Neat Video.
-Baby Car Logos
-Video for Radiohead's "All I Need". also a fan made one. I still don't think either of them really fit the song that much. I respect Radiohead for making a video about child slavery and all, just didn't seem to fit the song that much.
-Real Life Fight Club...apparently run by computer geeks
-Japanese Star Wars Posters. I'm thinking I need one of these.
-Wordclock Screensaver. I'm enjoying all these neat screensavers that have been coming out, but they kind of defeat the purpose of the screensaver-meaning, if you leave them up for a long time, you're going to have helvetica burned in your screen.
-Tetris + Arm Wrestling.
-Clinton: "Rich People, God Bless Us...". That's how you get votes from the middleclass. I was flipping through the channels yesterday, and I have no idea what I stopped on, but it was this judge asking kids why do they think Hillary Clinton is running for president. One kid responded, "Because she wants to run the country the way she wants...." How rightfully put little man.

I am also pissed that I missed the office last night, due to the ever-going thunderstorms of Oklahoma. Thanks.
