I don’t answer my cell phone if I don’t recognize the number. Nor will I call an unknown number back if they don’t leave a message.
WatchMy favorite video from duplo yet! I can’t watch this without laughing.
“I like your hair, you almost look innocent today.”
– A crass, first-floor coworker remarking upon my non-fauxhawked hairdo.
Heather: so have you seen all the tumblring i've been doing????
me: I'll look
Heather: GOOD
it's about damn time
me: you have been tumbling a lot. too bad it all sux0rz
I’ve sneezed more today than I have all year, I bet. My coworkers have stopped saying, “bless you” and “gesundheit.”
Watch“this summer is going to be all about feats of strength and amazing physical abilities for me. so far i have ripped 5 phonebooks in half, and did a headstand (no hands) for about five seconds. i’ll keep you updated with future feats of strength.” - Brian Brown

“I think it’s the future,” Matkowsky said. “I think in two years, or 10 — I don’t know — it’ll be normal, and everyone will be doing cell-phone photography shows.”
WatchVimeo user, SteveR’s son made this amazing stop motion video. It’s so good!
I’m really in the mood for some Hall & Oates.

“My grandpa swatted me once, and I remember I crying and hiding behind a chair,...”
– Schroberts, during a conversation about disciplining kids. (Neither of us were spanked as children.)
butler the cat
My aunt and uncle’s cat, Butler, likes to sleep under the covers. This afternoon, I tried to take a nap with Butler, who wanted to be under the covers, but I couldn’t help but keep looking under there to see if he was okay — maybe he was too hot or it may have gotten stuffy under there, I don’t know. He eventually got back on top of the covers and I was able to fall asleep.
hangover pros and cons
Positive: My typing is better during a hangover. Negative: My verbal sentence structure is worse during a hangover.
sushi
I’ve eaten sushi four times in the last seven days. I have yet to tire of it.
I’m working from home today, writing bios. I chose to work from home because my coworkers are out for the day, and I found working alone in the office wrecks havok on my productivity. That, and it makes me feel lonely.
“Everyone’s surprised when I tell them I don’t like Neil Peart. Neil...”
– Carl discussing what makes a good drummer
“My son thinks MySpace has too many ads and the pages are ugly…”
– From the May 28 issue of Newsweek: ‘Are MySpace Users Now Spacing Out’ by Steven Levy. Why Levy’s son has switched to Facebook. Just think how much better the internet would be if more people would hold sites accountable for things like ads, ease of use, and style. I don’t...
WatchVimeo would be so different without Charlie Steadman.
“The next time you find yourself the center of attention, think about how you got...”
– A sentence I read that stuck with me, although the place I read it did not.
alejandro jodorowsky about the holy mountain and... →
I have not seen “El Topo” but I have seen “The Holy Mountain.” I am very interested in what other people think about what Jodorowsky says. Do you think he accomplishes his goals of making art into a medication for society? Is that even possible? Please email me any comments or opinions you care to share. Thanks!
WatchI like to think that one day vimeo will have a whole slew of videos that people take on other people’s cameras. I believe Charlie Steadman used the word “camerajacked.” I think it could be as popular as fauxtographs or fofos, and would be a great way to get your friends on vimeo!
Mr. Gallo's sperm →
“Mr. Gallo is 5’11” and has blue eyes. There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry (no cripples) and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it’s a boy.” (via Jakob Lodwick)
look at me, I'm wearing a funny hat!
I’ve never understood why people like to take other people’s hats off and put them on themselves. Everytime I’ve seen it done, someone’s either trying to be funny or attempting the third-grade-flirt method — which is basically, “I’m going to hit that girl in the face with a dodgeball because I have a crush on her. Same with hats. “I’m going to...
“For those keeping score at home, never leave your camera unattended with: 1....”

Heather: it's been being prepped for conversion for a long time now

– Carl talking about his Amtrak ride to meet up with me in Kansas City this weekend.
“What if…” is my favorite car game. The silver medal goes to “20 Questions.”
showers
I’m starting to vary the water temperature during my showers. I like to have hotter water while washing my body and cooler water while washing my hair.
This is has made showering even more of a joy than before.
journals
I always buy really cool looking journals I find in stores with all the intentions in the world of writing stuff in them — my thoughts, observations, like the personal things I post here. But I inevitably get about ten pages in and quit.
Tonight I bought a journal with some pretty yellow flowers on the front. As I was paying for it I thought to myself, “This one has an elastic...
example of fux0r
Heather: and at first i thought you were joking, but then it became very clear that you were being serious and you got really mad at me when i refused to fux0r carl. you thought i was saying he wasn't good enough for me
me: seriously what's your problem, he's hawt
Heather: sorry, but i won't be fux0ring your bf

– Carl, helping me play yahoo chess
password
Sometimes I’ll accidentally type my passwords in the “sign in” boxes and then get a startle when I see the letters instead of asterisks. Then I think to myself, “It’s a good thing nobody was around to see my password.” Not because they’d have access to my account, but because I really like my passwords and don’t want others to use them.

colors
Today I explained to my sister how I view my life now. I found words so frustrating I ended up using colors. I think that colors translate feelings easier than words. My life one year ago was purple, murky. My life now is tinted yellow. I’m looking forward.
realization
I now refuse to take on people as “projects.” And I’m so much happier.
