and i just want to share this awesome website with you guys. hah im a nerdddd http://1000awesomethings.com/

so my new favorite hobby is to sit and look out my window during the minutes after class gets out at like 1220 and watch everyone come out of the buildings only to discover the local 79 union is yet again protesting outside on willoughby at the main gate (this is the like main gate that you have to go through to get to the dorms and stuff across the street, in case you need a little visual..). for what seems to be almost a year now, the union has been protesting outside this gate with a giant inflatable rat with a sign and flyers saying "pratt the rat".
im not really sure what it is that they are protesting but i think it has something to do with not hiring union workers to do renovations or something? anyways there are like maybe 20 or so of them and as everyone has to walk across the street they try to get them to take flyers and sign petitions and shit.
well all of this would be okay if they were like normal new york flyer-hander-outers (yeah yeah?) but they are not. they make eye contact with you and dont let go until you stop, take out your earphones and listen/take/sign whatever it is they want.
we new yorkers dont really do well with eyecontact, when i am walking somewhere when its this cold out, i have earphones in, like 2 hats on and gloves with my hands in my pockets my head is down and all i want to do is get to where im going and not be cold anymore. and i'd say that most of the people here are the same way. eyecontact is a no-no simply because it means you have to take the time to stop, take your hands out of your pockets and quitepossibly mittens lift up your hat(s) and take out your earphones to listen to someone babble on about unions or whales in siberia or something.
dude also, fuck. greenpeace. like seriously.
ANYWAYS, the protestors presence at the main gate causes everyone, who are throughly annoyed that they have to walk an extra 5 minutes in the fucking cold ass weather, to have to funnel through the side smaller gate to avoid confrontation. and its funny.

cameron this is for you:

A sign displayed Wednesday outside London’s Little Bay Restaurant explained the cost to eat there. The eatery is inviting customers to pay as little or as much as they think the food and service are worth. Drinks are excluded from the deal. (Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)

dude, lookit!

my favorite

2009-01-29T21:59:00.002-05:00

so yesterday, or whatever day monday was, i was asked my favorite band. i paused and thought about it, and i though of the only band (other than paul simon of course) that i have been listening to for the past like 4 months: clinic.
i love the band clinic.
iive loved them since the first time i heard them back in like 9th grade when that movie "thirteen" came out with their song "the equalizer" on it. since i first heard that song, i thought jesus h. who is that band???
and then i bought their album "walking with thee"... and um didnt listen to them again for about 5 years.
but since last october, theyve been the soundtrack to my nasty, scum filled, pbr flooded life in the mean streets of the most depressed city on earth. and since then they have been the wierd-ass squeally band that has taken over my life. ,i would like to share with you, clinic. (<----dude, click here and download this music),but i must warn you, itll sound wierd at first 'but keep listening, give it a second and a third chance. youll hear it, itll seep into the back of your mind.
you wont regret it, it is the best music for a city's winter since interpol!

okay i admit it.

2009-01-29T00:25:00.001-05:00

i am in love.

with

currently i am watching the movie "soul plane" and I must say that it is one of the funnier movies ive seen in awhile. i'm normally not one to sit through an entire movie but this one held my attention for the entire hour and a half.
i am also a fan of other bet "blackbuster" movies which include "crooklyn" and "lean on me" and "beauty shop".
also i would recommend checking out the show "hell date". you'll find its much funnier than any of those other dating shows on viacom's channels (this means you, "neXt").
in other news,
i keep trying to unplug my tv but after a few days i find myself saying "oh fuck it, i need this." and i am willing to accept that. wanna know why? its january. its -balls degrees outside, and honestly at this point, if it doesnt deliver, then i dont need it. that being said, ill try that again in april perhaps. or if global warming does its part, march.

i leave you with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry7Af3ETuxs

dude check this shit out

2009-01-27T23:39:00.003-05:00

so you wanna hear some cool shit?
well dl this
you might have already heard it but still i promise you'll like it.
and i dont think anyone reads this except dave kelly jen and tim..

so i feel like i'm always giving my friends (except tim hah..) nerdy advice so i thought id make some suggestions of things you should check out next time you're uh..bored.

Last.fm: so last.fm is kinda like pandora but its oh so much more. it works with your itunes and "scrobbles" the songs that you play. It then recommends other bands (that you can often listen to online)that they think you'll like. Also its pretty cool because the last.fm application that you download opens when you open itunes and when you play a song it gives you some info about the band. It keeps track of what you listen to and how many times you listen to it so over time you can see charts of your listening patterns and stuff. be my friend on last.fm: angela20377

Yelp: basically it is user reviews and raitings for local businesses and restaurants and so on, but its an attractive and simple lay out and ive found the reviews to be pretty helpful. dude, be my friend on yelp.. angela20377

digg:...oh digg, how many hours ive wasted on this site. basically its a news feed of really cool/ interesting stories/ other shit that is personalized to your tastes based on the stories that you "digg". hey man be my friend on digg too..

google reader: add the blogs that you read all in one place. i mean you know, read them in one place rather than going to every individual website. Its really easy to email shit to people on google reader and you can mark stories that you want to share. uh be my friend on google?: angelamcleland

wikipedia mini-round up

2009-01-18T02:15:00.004-05:00

Seppuku
List of works designed with the golden ratio
Karōshi
List of premature obituaries
Atomic tourism

Everything put together
Sooner or later falls apart
There's nothing to it, nothing to it
You can cry
You can lie
For all the good it'll do you
You can die
But when it's done
And the police come, and they lay you down for dead
Uh, huh, just remember what I said
oh paul

my hopes for the future are as follows:
something good comes on tv soon
my mom will get more cran-apple when she goes to the grocery store tomorrow
that we will figure out some way to drive back to new york in august, instead of flying
i can find some new music that I can be very passionate about

sometimes i dont think about the future.
my look towards the future only gets about one month into the future

2008-07-15T16:56:00.001-04:00

The Builders and the Butchers

2008-05-14T15:39:00.002-04:00

http://www.last.fm/music/The+Builders+and+the+Butchers

You've got to check these guys out. They're a band from Portland, OR (holla kelly cookiecastle)
and played at SXSW this year. They remind me a little bit of a cross between Beirut and the Decemberists because of their story telling lyrics and epic sounds.
a good, original sound.

let me know what you think

2008-05-11T15:47:00.003-04:00

from the blog iheartphotograph:

pixl porn

pixl porn is a brand-new project by stuart allen. what you see here are real images of nude celebs—lil' kim, catherine zeta jones, christina aguilera—however they are magnified to reveal only a handful of fleshy pixels. hot. visit the pixl porn site here. thanks to john for the link.

[all pixl porn. top to bottom: lil' kim's vagina. 4 pixels. source: concert footage. 2003. catherine zeta jones' nipple. 9 pixels. source: paparazzi photograph. 2003. christina aguilera's ass. 4 pixels. source: music video 'dirrty.' 2002.]

so.. is it A)clever B)weird or C)dumb?

also, has anyone ever read any of the 33 1/3 books? I had never heard of them until the other day but I ordered a couple (the velvet underground and the stone roses albums) so if you've read any let me know what you think.
