Road trip!

Road trips are cool.  The theory that the drive goes quicker without music was put to the test. Another  discovery came in the form of Mother energy drink. You get to talk a lot, listen to music, sleep, clear your head, come up with fresh ideas and see things that you wouldn't usually.

this was done waaaaaay back in 1993. We thought it was funny that the koalas on the boat weren't wearing clothes while the one surfing had to wear pants.

We found a lolly store that had the goods in the window... but inside was filled with nanna lollies. 

Why don't all shoe stores have these handles?

Snacks on the run. Got to keep the energy levels up.

When you tow a trailer that's about 2 stories high you have to expect to kill a few bugs. They would kill you if they had the chance.

Quad camera

Hayley over at Mayoress brought  the quad camera application for my iPhone to my attention. 

  

It makes your snaps a little more interesting. Most certainly the best couple of bucks I've spent of late (not including the dagwood dog I puchased at the train station the other day).

No love for long time

So, I've been a bit slack with the whole regular post thing of late. A lot has happened over the past month. Not all good either. Apparently there is a global economic crisis and a lot of people are losing their jobs... myself included. At least I have a roof over my head and smarts inside my head. On the positive side it has made me stay at home and work on designs for t-shirts, write business plans and read more.

More to follow shortly.

Porno

Porno is having an exhibition at Per Square Metre gallery in Collingwood. Opening night is this Friday. See you there.

Take your lady here

...or I will.

CUMULUS INC.

I grabbed a chew there last night with a mate. It's owned by Andrew McConnell who I thought was in The Highlander but it turns out he's the guy behind Circa and Three One Two.
I can't go past anything slow cooked so we smashed the octopus AND the pork strap. No photos of the food because we all know what food looks like.
The breakfast menu looks like a bit of alright so I dare say that I'll be back earier in the day.

Melbournians are definately spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out.

They've dropped

Go get 'em from Pick Your Shoes.

I can hear the girlies screaming from here

Nerd alert

You can see more of this guys work here.

Shattered

I forgot why I made the move to a point and shoot digital camera but I have rediscovered the first downside to relying on film a camera. It turns out that while I thought I was taking the best photos in the world over the past few weeks the film hadn't caught the reel and I was shooting nothing. DEVO.
Oh well. Lesson learnt. Time to move on.

The HATE corner

Heart shaped sunglasses. I hate these purely for aesthetic reasons. The only people that should buy these are little girls, they don't know any better. Big girls should not try to recapture their little girl by wearing heartshaped sunnies and big boys should not try to be little girls under any circumstance. I guess this guy didn't get the memo.

Motorized bicycles. These things are usually fuckin' loud and to me they defeat the purpose of riding a bike. No exercise, no saving the planet and no place left to dink your girl side sadle due to the petrol tank. Why do they even have pedals?!

Paying for soy sauce.

I'm pretty sure it flows naturally in some parts of the world. There is no reason why they should charge twenty cents for a fish full of soy.

Things that get you excited

This is probably the most animated I've ever seen Pharrell Williams.

Gran Torino

Sour old men are funny to watch. They've figured out what they like in life, and more importantly, they have had a long time to practice hating. It's unlikely that an old man will kick your ass, but when they hate you it's pretty scary. It usually ends up that you do something small like hold a door open for an old lady and it changes their mind. Then they become your best friend which is almost as bad as having them hate you. Either that or they die so you don't have to put up with their hate any more.

This film looks like it has a lot of hate. A special kind of hate that can only come from a guy who played Dirty Harry.



It drops on Thursday.
I'm off to eat some roast schwine.

Want

The Air Max Current Hurrache will be released later this year.

Nicole Richie is all class...

Tunes

Jay-Tee

is one of the funniest non-comedians around.


And the real deal has my vote for film clip of the year.

Tunes

Jam by Michael Jackson was playing at the gym this morning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13ZGZexsaFo

This clip is awesome for so many reasons:
-Michael Jordan
-Kris Kros
-Heavy D
-Micheal Jackson isn't dangling babies from a balcony or hiding under an umbrella inside a bookstore
-The ball at the start is actually the world. That's some deep shit.
-Double dutch
-The moonwalk

Fake MTA notices.

A few years back people figured out that they could make their own MTA notices and put them up in subways across New York.

Big City Freaks blog.

The BCF boys fron Sydney have started a blog. Check it out here.

In case you missed it...

Police shot 22yo Oscar Grant in an Oakland train station on New Years day while people watched and filmed it.


That was followed by a protest that turned into a riot.


It's kind of weird that these events haven't really been reported in the news over here. I guess if it made the news they would have to drop the story about Neville from Pakenham who ate a hamburger, was still full, so decided to order another one.

The holiday is over.

The Christmas break has ended which is the weathers cue to get hot. I didn't really go anywhere so I feel like another break already. Here are a few snaps taken over my time off.

K1000

A few flicks off the first roll of film I ran through my K1000:

Santogold

We checked out Santogold last night at Billboard in Melbourne. The place was packed and the sound was spot on!

She put on a brief yet awesome show. Santogold was joined on stage by her S1W stunt doubles and DJ Pressplay. No encore and no acts on after her lead to this:

A few hundred people heading to the only exit in the building.

Some said stuff it and just danced.

Being called 'Darl' by a hot tattooed woman when you order a drink is better than ice-cream with sprinkles on it.
