perfection overload

Are today's graphic artists just not trying anymore? Or are they all obsessed with designing video game characters that they forgot how to humans look?

Seriously?! This is ridiculous.

What happened to the days when a photographed half nude celebrity was CGI'd realistically? A couple of flaws here and there. It's what makes a person attractive. Not perfection.

Now I know this subject is a little biased. It's Janet Jackson after all. She's like 47 or something, right? And she supposedly lost like 50 pounds in two weeks or some shit like that. Her "Jazzercising with Paula Abdul" Dvd must be broken from playing it too many times. OR she had some help from Jesus... Dr. Jesus... head of surgery Jesus.

Could she need this much work to look remotely normal? That can't be possible, right? I mean, she looks like an anime character.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was really her next cover.

On an unrelated note, party at Cory's house on Saturday. It's the "SMU's lst game of the season -slash- Frank Bday" celebation. So mainly it's a gathering of random people watching me get actin' a fool. Oh yeah, and I think there will be other things... but who cares about that?! It's all about Me! ME! ME!!

Apartment IMing

Frank: [refering to the July 29, 2006 cover of The Economist and it's misspelling of 'globalization']
Frank: This magazine cover bothered the hell out of me at work all day!!
Jason: Do you have something against boats?
Frank: Look at the cover.
Frank: Notice something?
Jason: What am I missing?
Frank: globalization.
Jason: What? It's British.
Frank: whatever!
Frank: colour MY ASS!
Jason: HAHAHAHA

yo muy excited.

One of my guilty pleasure websites of all time is Maddox's The Best Page In The Universe webpage. And if you visit religiously (like ya do), you would know that the creator wrote a book featuring his best work.

We have his book The Alphabet of Manliness at Border's (it's doing quite well, I might add).

That isn't the best part. Maddox is doing a signing and discussion of his book at the store!!

Border's West Village

Shit, I hope I'm not working so I can go to enjoy it all. Cause if I have to ask Maddox for his Border's Rewards Card, I'm gonna be pissed.

Borders Banter

[Guy comes up to me with a bunch of magazines. He is wearing one of those stupid floppy beach hats. I think to myself, "He kinda looks like that guy from Prison Break... meh. Someone that famous couldn't wear a hat like that!]

The next day...

Boss: Yeah, make sure we have those Prison Break Season One Dvds out because that guy comes to our store alot.

Me: oh shit... I mean, oh fecal matter!

I knew I should of gone with my gut and shouted "OHHHH MY GAAAWD! It's Wentworth Miller! Gimme your autograph!! And lose that hideous beach hat!"

PS. He passed on the Rewards... that ass. I don't remember which magazines he bought, but I'm completely sure that he's on the cover of a mag this month... What a showboat!! Can't he make his Dad shop for mags for him like Owen Wilson does?!

Buca di Beppo

Oh man, serious you guys!

You all need to go to Buca di Beppo right now. It is AMAZING!

The Becky was in town so we all (Erich and Jason) went to that restaurant. First of all, there's like a bunch of crap on the walls, tables and ceilings. It was like the designer was from Tuscany, and just went to Fridays/Benniggans/Shake's, and was drunk, and has a sever case of ADHD. I was like oh shit, till I actually saw the content of all the cludder. It was like naked Italians... this I like.

To get to our table, you have to go through the kitchen. How odd. Then our actual table had two huge-ass cans of tomato sauce. WFT?!

It has family-style food portions so we ordered spagetti & meatballs and cannelloni. They were heaven! I'm still drooling over it. Delicious.

Other than the fact that Becky brought up accounting, it was a cool restaurant experience.

I would reccomend it to all.

I can't wait!!

It's like a month till my birthday and I can't wait for it!!

So since I'm employed and whatnot, I've decided to get myself some very unneccessary and awesome. I thought about this for a long time. What can I get for myself that I really don't need?

Here is what I really need:
1) New glasses/ Prescription
2) New clothes.
3) a proper Bed... perhaps?
4) maybe a little nestegg for future/ emergency needs

Screw all that!!

I've decided to get a 30gb Video Ipod. Hey.. I have a shuffle, and yes, it's sufficient... but why not upgrade? Plus, I can get a 10% discount if I buy it at work. hehe.

Loves it.

I'm getting a white one though. I'm such an ipod racist!

[PS. Birthday plans/ parties haven't been planned as of yet. But I'm sure I'll do something... and yes, I'll be driiizzunk at said event(s)]
