28 Days Later is a great film. The more I think about it, the more like it. It's just a very different, very original take on society and violence wrapped in a fairly scary horror film. Recommened highly.

I hung out with some old friends and their twin 10 month old girls this afternoon. Babies are something else. They certainly require a lot of work, and many bags of accessories.

Regardless of your views, this is certainly an interesting piece on Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA. Well written and in-depth. (found on vegan.com)

It's about time...

'At 9:03 AM on 11 September 2001, the second airplane hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. President Bush was in Florida, at the Emma T. Booker Elementary School, listening to children read. Chief of Staff Andrew Card came over and whispered in Bush's ear, "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack."

What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress.'

This is an interesting page, and piece of video. Worth checking out for sure...

I'd like to give a 'keep hope alive' shout out to Emiko (and Chad). Jess, Kato, and myself are behind you 110%. Good luck, finger crossed, and all that.

Everyone's seen the new G5 I assume...

Yes, this site is STILL suffering on Mac's Safari browser. Bummer, but I just have to spend the time for a full-on complete overhaul soon. But not anytime soon...sorry.

A few PC overlap problems with the site...but I think I have that beat.

I did a little site house cleaning today. I was a bit sick of all the archives sitting on the main page, so I made a separate archive page. Ialso added the 'HEAVY ROTATION' section...as I felt like I needed to have more than one record or DVD listed at a time. Anyway, I feel much better.

I've been getting more and more migraines lately. Maybe it has to do with the amount of time I spend looking at a monitor each day. Maybe I'll break out the glasses again...

'A third of the American public believes U.S. forces found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, according to a recent poll. And 22 percent said Iraq actually used chemical or biological weapons in the war.'

So we found all those weapons right?(Well, no. We actually lied about that) But not that many Iraq civilians were killed right? (Is 3,240 not too many?)But now our soldiers are being greeted by the hugs of the people right? (Ummm...well no) OK, well we did catch and bury that jerk Saddam after all this right?( Maybe...well, ah, no...but we got this guy) We did good right? Right?

And this is fucking awful: Looters stole zoo animals to eat, sell: animal rights group.

It's taken me awhile, but I'm starting to really get into The Mars Volta album. I guess it was all the hype that was throwing me off. Rick Rubin producing, the 'concept' album thing, everyone throwing praise before even hearing it, the ex-At The Drive In buzz, touring with 'the Peppers'...and it manages to be good. Go figure.

Go to the Playlist and download 10.4 mgs of 'Roulette Dares (This Is The Haunt)'...it's worth it.

Oh yeah, their July 2 show in SF is already sold out. In true "I'll just wait a few days" fashion, I missed the friggin' boat. Jackass.

Well, that's it for me...off goes the link to Skateboarding Sucks. It's just turned into a total waste of time. A suggestion...lose the comment section. Your posts are funny and interesting, but the comments are mean, homophobic, and flat out grade school. Hey, Lee start updating Sacklunch more.

Check out Will Ferrell's Harvard Commencement speech, and then watch the short video.

Matt visited the legendary Landsdowne skatepark this weekend and took some photos. I can't believe that place is still around. I remeber watching Sheffey go huge off the 'nipple'.

Still trying to decide on the Darkest Hour show tonight...I'm thinking yes, but it's still early.

That was quite a weekend. Starting Thursday with a large design installation, picking my Mom up at the airport Friday, wedding shower Saturday, San Jose and Berkeley Sunday, and airport drop off Monday. Damn.

In other news...the Berkeley park is open again, and Darkest Hour play next Monday in SF (I doubt I'll be there...damn work), and that new Metallica song is terrible.

Screw the house thing...it's all about the Loft Cube.

Well, the new media ownership rules (as voted for by the Republican controlled FCC) completely suck. So much for trying to keep media fair and having a few sides to a story or issue. Although, there seems to be some concern...let's hope this gets rolled back.

I've been taking an advertising class for about a month now. I'm really NOT a fan. I enjoy doing some advertising, but the whole concept gives me the creeps sometimes.

Thanks to everyone who sent me an email, or just took the time to say Happy Birthday. I had a good day.

Also, I did skate yesterday for about a half hour, as suggested. I've been told it will keep you young forever.

Today's my birthday...and yes, I do feel old. Thanks for asking.
