Does anybody still read this?
Hi guys. I’m giving up /yeah for 40 days of Lent… among other things. I’ll still be on Twitter, though. See you around.
Good show. I’ve never seen the *scape lab so happy for a gig before.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby proclaim Yo Gabba Gabba to be the Greatest kids’ show in the world. Here’s another video (that amazingly hasn’t been removed by Viacom) with Jimmy Eat World, a green screen and a bunch of — don’t mess! — flying dogs and cats:

Holy shit, how did I miss this? The Roots performed on Nick Jr. for Yo Gabba Gabba! last year. I laughed for five minutes straight when watching this video — they took it down from YouTube but I managed to find one on Lifelounge. The Ting Tings went on too (on a different episode), but their performance wasn’t anywhere near as awesome as The Roots. Natch. Either way, that shit was hilarious. I love how ?uestlove looks like he’s having a shitload of fun:
There’s a compilation exclusively on iTunes with a bunch of tracks from artists like Tahiti 80 — just search for Yo Gabba Gabba! and you should be able to find it.
I quite like this album. It’s in stores tomorrow (16 February) in the UK and on Tuesday in the US. Take a listen to the single I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris:

Mute Math are one of my favourite bands — they’re actually on my list of bands I must see before I die, so that counts for something. Roy-Mitchell Cardenas, bassist of the band (and who happens to be really good at it) actually has a blog with a lot of stuff from behind the scenes. You might want to check that out. Some of you might remember Spotlight from (ugh) Twilight, so here’s Clockwork instead:

In other news, I learned more about drawing in 4 hours with Milica than I did in one semester at school. Probably the curriculum, but still — Drawing Fundamentals was essentially a “here’s your subject; now draw it” kind of class for me. I hope they’ve changed it by now; 3 years should be enough to realise something was missing… then again, they’re phasing out film photography, so anything’s possible. With any luck, I’ll be able to finish the basics by the end of the month and start working for some (badly needed) cash.
I drove to New York
In the van, with my friend
We slept in parking lots
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go

Trying to get my head around applications… God please help me to make it through
I have 1% faith vs 100% faith, with a difference of 99% do I still get to the pearly gates?
$1050 from Barneys — people have told me they don’t like Prada, but damn if these aren’t sweet.
Morning hilarity:
For those who don’t know: ?uestlove (pronounced Questlove) is the drummer for The Roots.
Bought a pair of Ray-Ban 3342s today — after sitting down and looking at the 3322s vs these, I like the silver frames better. I think I’m the last member of the band to get a pair of aviators. I bought an electric shaver too, but who wants to know about those? Natch.
Was up until 7 this morning reading webcomics and talking to Randy. In particular, I was reading Real Life and this one somehow made its way into my subconscious and buried itself there, along with the 3.5 seasons of Battlestar Galactica I’ve been watching over the past couple of weeks.
So according to my subconscious, Sting is a Cylon and I was a liaison for the Humans after we made a truce. Somebody wanted to assassinate Sting (probably Greg Dean), and my controller called me to warn him. My controller was my math teacher from Sec 2.
Seriously, I need better dreams.
Totally missed this one — M1 is carrying the 8900, if you want to get it. $398/$498, depending on whether you get the Blackberry plan or not. If M1 is carrying the 8900, the other telcos should follow suit if they haven’t already :)
