i knooooowwwwww it's annoying but really if you don't know about the devil makes three", you should check 'em out. i'm lame and just now learned aboot them but they sure are rad. try "old number seven" and fall in love!
also persepolis was awesum awesum dim sum, if it's playing near you go see it now! nothing like actual, old school, non-pixar/disney robot vomit animation to brighten your day. and make you feel cultured without actually doing anything. join me and feel smug for no good reason.
i am upset and concerned about the state of playgrounds today. yesterday brandon and i walked home and we went through a playground with this new jungle gym they set up, and we tried to play on it but it's not even possible! i think i need to go back and take a picture of this shit because there's no way i can even describe it. suffice to say it looks like postmodern sculpture and is just about as fun and easy to play on. come to think of it i wonder how many children on average fall off and break something trying to slide down the wiggly plastic bullshit i think is supposed to be a slide. what happened? i haven't been grown up long enough to be nostalgic for old school steel poles and rancid tires. it wasn't much safer but at least you could play on it!
coffin derby cars are go! we bought the tires and fucked around at home depot today. i know that no one else is excited about these yet, but oh you will be. trust me. look at these schematics:
they will be life sized mobile sculptures. depending on how sassy i'm feeling there may be paintings of rotting people inside them and i think perhaps racing stripes on the outside. get excited, kids, i've got a grant to do this. bullshit is such a wonderful thing when it works in your favor!
