sharpie-tastic!
a 53 year old lawyer with a lot of time on his hands, charlie kratzer, painted his entire basement with $10 worth of sharpie and magic marker. i find that hard to believe considering how much ink really is in a sharpie, but whatever sells the story i suppose. his walls are painted cream and he has re-created the likes of literary heroes hercule poirot and sherlock holmes, historical figures winston churchill and george bernard shaw, and even whimsical characters such as rocky, bullwinkle, and rd2d. his sharpie masterpiece isn't just characters, but also notable pieces of art as well. his spin on seurat, picasso, and monet's works can be found as well. i wonder if this is a result of the collapsing economy. wouldn't it be great? people not having so much work these days, creatively combatting their ennui through drastic artistic measures?
you can review the full article and a 360 degree view of his basement here.

the dirty jerz and friday the 13th
i took a couple days off and went to jersey wednesday nite. i get a little crazy there.
only in new jersey can you get your pants hemmed AND purchase all the elvis paraphernalia your heart desires.
my mom has somehow managed to figure out how to send e-mails via her blackberry for work. i don't know how, since i showed her just last nite how to view all the channels on her digital cable (you press the large IO button in the middle of the remote which prompts you to a menu screen). if you squint, you can see it says, "it is very impotent to send tommorrow". when i informed her that the word impotent means "your dick doesn't work", she replied, "oh it's a good thing i was going to send that to china. chinese people don't understand what that word means". 
meet my new dr, dr panah (on the right, perturbed mother on the left)! she speaks with a real heavy accent and wears tinted glasses. i fucking love her.
and i fucking loved her gold shoes. i tried as surreptitiously as possible to take shots of her. i haven't figured out how to shut off the stupid camera noise my phone makes, so i had to conceal it with a hacking cough. 
i returned from my jersey exploits today in time for friday the 13th tattoos at daredevil. monika and sam have been getting them for years. this marks my second. basically, on all friday the 13ths of the year, daredevil has a special where you pay $20 ($13 for the tattoo lucky $7 for the tip) and can pick a tattoo off a flash board. last year sneakers and i just waltzed right in. this year, people were waiting for six hours. suckers.
monika had had some drinks already.
they all biked here from bk. here's our family of bikes. my pink guy's all the way in the back.
it's willis and he has a raised fist.
me being artsy with my bb camera phone.
friday the 13th flash 2008. i got the peacock feather big steve style. which means that it's totally different from anyone else's. i win.
oh so since monika was drunk, they decided to bike to popeye's. sam requested a mardi gras cheesecake. apparently, everyone (meaning monika, cj, noah, sam, and some other biker dudes) all eat at popeye's and know that the mardi gras cheesecake only costs 1.19 and is in the bottom right hand corner of the menu. i was amazed that it comes in a sealed paper box and really has sprinkles on top just like the picture.
best tattoo ever. totally trumps 2 girls 1 cup. sam paul's back totally fucking rules.
made it in time to see clean teeth at fontana's. i really liked them.
best pick up line tonite: "do you have a kleenex?" which turned into him saying i was a huge cokehead and me yelling fuck you and flipping him off.

nuttin but stringz
to think, my sisters and i could have been "nuttin but asianz".
true story. my moms wanted my sisters and i to perform in the subway station when i was younger. marie on viola, me on cello, stephanie on flute, and her singing.
fuerza bruta
translates directly into "brute force". more details on their website.
i'd really like to see this.

th- fac- of a winn-r

this is my friend mike brickey. we went to college together in missouri. we successfully have never slept together. he's one of the most wonderful human beings i know. he recently moved out to california to pursue a teaching career, and since then has landed the opportunity of being on a certain game show that for legality issues i cannot disclaim the name of.
april 17th is the taping. i'm planning on having a wh--l -f f-rt-n- party at my new apartment the day of the airing.
