Can’t buy me lulz»
Here are totally random things that make—or have in the past made—me unspeakably sad to think about:
- A dude crying in the shower (not me)
- A single, delicious ear of corn on a plate
- Eating at Hardee’s—delicious burgers, but:
- the starkest decor ever
- utter chaos behind the front counter (bonus sadness if there is one employee trying to maintain politeness amid the chaos)
- This pic (from Zeta Gundam):
- The Smashing Pumpkins song “Spaceboy” (not related to above pic that I know of)
This list to grow exponentially as I continue to stay off my happy-pill prescription!
Always two there are»
I keep forgetting to do this list, but this is one of those weird phenomena that I have noticed. Say there is a band you like. No, not them, that other one. Similar names are the death of me, especially when I love one band and hate the other. I spent years of my life not liking Chavez, because I saw a video by Gomez (which I hated), and the names were permanently mixed up in my mind.
SOOOOO, in no particular order (except alphabetical), and varying levels of similarity…
- The Arcade Fire / The Fiery Furnaces
- Black Dice / Black Lips / The Black Keys
- Cake / Cake-Like
- Chavez / Gomez
- Codeine / Morphine
- Deerhoof / Deerhunter
- Del Fuegos / Del Lords
- fIREHOSE / Firehouse
- Fucked Up / Holy Fuck (and they’re both from fuckin’ Toronto, fuck!)
- Garth Brooks / Brooks & Dunn
- Jawbox / Jawbreaker
- The Mars Volta / Volta Do Mar
- Mew / Muse
- Modest Mouse / Mouse on Mars
- Múm (from Iceland) / Mum (NOT from Iceland)
- OMD / OMC
- Panda Bear (from Animal Collective) / Grizzly Bear (not from Animal Collective)
- Polara / Polaris
- Stroke 9 / The Strokes
- Super Furry Animals / Animal Collective
- Supergrass / Superdrag
- Television / Telephone
- The Verve / The Verve Pipe
- The Vines / The Shins
- Wolf Eyes / Wolf Parade / Wolfmother / Wolf Balls (ok I made that last one up, but it’s only a matter of time)
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs / Hot Hot Heat / !!!
- Honorable mention: the seven hundred or so bands during the 80s that had all one word names that started with a C.
- BONUS ROUND: XTC album “Black Sea” / X album “Under the Big Black Sun”
It seems like there were more, but my memory is terrible—which is why I am always mixing these groups up in my head to begin with.

Dear Photoshop,
Stop showing me this dialog!
From experience and googling, I have noted the following possible actions that bring up this dialog:
- opening a picture
- closing a picture
- saving a picture
- looking at Photoshop
- not looking at Photoshop
- having an old version of OS X
- having a new version of OS X
- installing a brand new copy on a brand new computer and trying 1–5 for the first time ever
- existing
That’s no pot of gold»
Uhh.
What about on the other end?
Oh.
I only had the 50mm on me, otherwise I would have tried to get a wide-angle shot, for the full effect (even more parking lots).
NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: It turns out the first pic IS of a pot of gold. Star Bar & Grill is actually a karaoke place, with private rooms, delicious Korean BBQ, and delicious (non-Korean) pizza. And soju. That shit will mess you up good (and make your singing sound awesome)!

A good ol’ fashioned pic dump for the people.

Ouch, man!»
A challenger appears?
Maybe not, if he can’t handle a simple ride in my camera bag. But he is now known as headache-bot. We have so much in common!
Eat me, I’m delicious!»
