Candy Karma and Soft Manifestoes

Flowers in the garbage.

Face behind a screen.

Hmmm… I wonder what the Professor is up to today?

Our glad-sashed heroine finds herself in a complex death trap.
The villain speaks a foreign tongue
And his plans remain unknown despite profuse boasting.

I waste more than you.

Set to music.

I noticed that you’ve stopped talking.

I’m getting comfortable with the problems at the room.

One man’s fruit is another man’s warning.

You’re truthing more than you used to.

Pause it.

Maintain a safe following distance.

Erase.

It is trying to kill me.

Re-defying.

Camping out in my blindspot.

I find out a la carte.

And so he spaketh to the girls

When clouds whisper rain and
Leaves turn out their soft underbellies
I’ll be heading home.

The sun’ll bring us back.

I’ll remember your name.
Tie you to a stake
While the poor get poorer.

Our certain bodies

Redundancies we love.

Fighting fire with milk.

Watching the judgement go by.

One man’s fruit is another man’s warring.

It’s a vicious circle you are driving.
Gas mileage forever blue.

Meadowlark.

Seriously still.

Our glad-sashed heroine was swallowed by a computer.

Who needs saving?

I Wanted to Write a Poem

I wanted to write a poem that started at the end but just kept going like The Metamorphosis.

(originally on mah Twitter)

Adam Good and Jon Lee (will) Kick Ass

Meet WE ARE SCIENCE! Adam Good, Jon Lee, and Hard Science's three man team for WIT's Tournament of the Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament (aka Tournament of the FIST). Follow that link to find the tournament's various showtimes and schedules. They will be awesome. (Source Theater, DC)

Jon has some cool stuff on the web, but I can't find it all. Adam, too, has some cool things on the web too, among them this great anti-McCain campaign piece from what has quickly become "back in the day." What a favicon on that thing. Bravo. Bravo.

UPDATE: It seems like this is popular with google... I'm guessing you did a search for "Why would I lie about how much coke you had?" looking for lyrics to a song you heard and dug. I love that song... it's Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend and is definitely where I got the title (after many other attempts at writing through that). BUT... the line is actually "how much coal you had" because they are all faux upper crusty like that and getting "American Jane Austen"-like. Still -- it's a great song, the best on the album in my opinion -- now you have the title and can track it down.

Noby Noby Boy trailer

Noby Noby Boy (from Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy) looks nothing like this awesome-anyway trailer. Thanks Justin for the headsup!

Loving the New Animal Collective

Mellower in sound than past efforts (nearly all of which get regular play in my life). Great for pairing with the Sunday paper.

And loving the cover online just as much... that isn't an animate gif... if your eyes are moving whatsoever it will look like it is undulating. Stare at the center and it holds still. Unfortunately this isn't as effective with the printed CD cover (not sure why).

Merriweather Post Pavillion, Animal Collective

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Sometimes when you're on, you're just so fucking on (no matter how played out zombies get).

thanks MamaPop

Obama to GOP: 'I Won' (from WSJ.com)

Meant to post this earlier... this late day Friday news piece put a smile on the end of a historic week...

"[Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona] challenged the president and the Democratic leaders over the balance between the package’s spending and tax cuts, bringing up the traditional Republican notion that a tax credit for people who do not earn enough to pay income taxes is not a tax cut but a government check.

"Obama noted that such workers pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, property taxes and sales taxes. The issue was widely debated during the presidential campaign, when Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, challenged Obama’s tax plan as “welfare.”

"With those two words — “I won” — the Democratic president let the Republicans know that debate has been put to rest Nov. 4."

I Met The Walrus

I like the first half best, but it is all beautifully done.
Kevin T sent this around more than a month ago... just got around to it now.

Economy Watch: Non-Traditional Indicators

Man-o-man was the NY Times magazine considerably lighter this week. What's up with the coverage, I first thought. Then I realized the difference was attributable to what seemed like a 95% decrease in ad space sold. Funny that there just aren't the same number of ads for luxury condos that overlook Central Park. Imagine that.

Sadly, though, this will eventually translate into a reduction of coverage... The Sunday Times is an institution in the G-P household. Please Mr. Economy, don't take that away from me.
