star fries & white trash

On Saturday, the White Trash Association of America had their annual meeting — what first seemed like a tattoo convention was in fact the Dc101 Chili Cookoff — complete with garbage covered streets, drunken teenagers strewn about, sickly children hiding under the many folds of sunburnt-skin of their pierced- Budweiser swilling parents — it was [...]

or perhaps the dingo saved your baby

I was shocked and awed to hear about the stray dog that saved that baby in Kenya… so Benji DOES exist. I knew it.
When I saw “Benji the Hunted” with all my fellow safety patrols in 6th grade I KNEW he was real. Go Benji go!
There’s a movie come out this weekend that has a [...]

revenge of the marketing

I finally received my new new cell phone yesterday and wouldn’t you know it, Chewbacca, C3P0 and Yoda were on the box telling me about the exciting Star Wars ‘themes’ and ’sound effects’ that come with the phone.
(I also received a coupon for 2 free tickets to see Star Wars 3)
I made a comment to [...]

anti-diabetes demonstrators on the mall

After an exhausting night of “hold’em” on Friday night (placing 4th out of 11 in the Walker St. Tournament) I woke up a few hours later in the early-early AM to be official-volunteer photog for C’s Walk to Cure in DC.

happy quattro de mayo

I’m still without a phone connection to the world — but .. I still have email… and my work phone and roommates phone. Plus smoke signals and sign language… so, I’m not completely lost in the world.

“Remember, it’s cheaper and easier just to buy stuff.”

So goes the closing line from the style network’s “Craft Corner Deathmatch”, hosted by Jason Jones — a hilarious show that can be described as “extreme crafting”.

the hitchhiker’s guide to feces

hsux2

Originally uploaded by zigs.
