Greetings from Southern California, or as Jean Baudrillard so lovingly calls my home state, the “desert of the hyperreal.” I write you all while basking in the glimmering sunshine amidst throngs of blonde women clad in velour Juicy Couture tracksuits, UGG boots, and oversized sunglasses. Tonight, I shall feast on vegan cuisine with my favorite globetrotter, Lauren. While my trusted and best beloved lab partner/co-author/homeslice ices over in Massachusetts, I decided to take some time to put 2008 in perspective.
To begin with, 2008 was the year of the Rat. It was also the year that a small army of mice invaded my apartment. Currently, Lo tha Funkee Feline is holding down the fort and keeping the little critters at bay by intimidating and humiliating these small rodent beings. Apparently, she also likes to sadistically humiliate and destroy phone cords.
Upon searching the audio/visual offerings of the “entertainment box”, the stalking Mr. Drinkwater noticed the now infamous AC360 anomaly. Out of sheer dedication to research, Mr. Drinkwater endured a soul-killing seven minutes of advertised rubbish to observe Mr. Anderson Cooper by way of television transmission, as sent from CNN headquarters to the living room of Mr. Drinkwater’s apartment. Mr. Drinkwater did not comprehended the spoken language uttered by the stalked subject as Mr. Drinkwater was visually over-stimulated. Read the rest of this entry »
I cried when I watched Obama’s speech tonight, I was so happy. Tonight was such an emotional roller coaster as Ian and I watched the election unfold. We were also totally mesmerized by the mysterious floating 3D senate/house display and will.i.am’s appearance via hologram on CNN. What was this? Star Wars? Thankfully, CNN was nice enough to provide us with some superior quality eye candy to keep us nerds engaged. How could we take our eyes off of Anderson Cooper in that fabulous suit? Shoot, I’d give up my legbite street cred for him (who is also, allegedly, a legbite. This possible fact only augments his amazing hotness, and, by extension, my street cred). Can I get a witness?

Dear Karl Lagerfeld,
I am so very sick of the weaponry-as-fashion movement that hipsters nationwide have appropriated for their very own. I’ve always interpreted all of those bullet-earrings, hand-gun pendants, and other silk-screened guns on “vintage” T-shirts as a confused fetishization of both capitalism and violence. At the end of the day, though, I’ve always thought: Fine, they can have their violence. If I were to alert them to their problematic gesture, they would probably just sigh, claim said gesture is “ironic” and continue reading Vice magazine through their Ray Bans.
But high fashion wants the handgun now? You finally drove this “movement” over the edge with those shoes you dreamed up for your Chanel Cruise 2009 Collection. Read the rest of this entry »
So, I was reading the health news section tonight and I learned that inSPOT.org has this nifty service where you can notify past partners via e-mail about your STI status. Read the rest of this entry »
Monday was movie night with some of my Radical Philosophy crew and we went to see Godard’s La Chinoise (1967) at our local non-profit movie theater. Sometimes, I feel inundated and overwhelmed by the sheer amount of important literature, film, and music that exists in the world, so I always appreciate it when some outside force helps me to make a decision about what to read, see, or listen to next. This impetus came in the form of my thesis advisor giving an introduction and post-film discussion at this particular screening and his alerting the Radical Philosophy student group to this event. Here’s the trailer and my commentary for La Chinoise follows after the jump:
