“People often don’t take the time to listen to their elders in this country, and that’s a shame. Because they’re usually full of two things, wisdom, and poop in their pants, and one ignores either at one’s own peril.”
A 99 year old woman’s thoughts on The Artist and why it’s all pish posh dribble dabble…

REVIEW: STAR WARS UNCUT OR, STAR WARS NEEDS A NEW HOPE
One thing you should know about me: I have zero shame confessing my deep deep love for Star Wars. I had a Yoda toothbrush well into high school and was fluent in Ewokese. Feech!
Back to the movie, this concept was made public almost a year ago. Proposed by former Vimeo developer Casey Plugh; What the project spawned into is 00:00:15 segments of the movie, chopped and screwed by fans. Dope idea right? The only rule was that they had to follow the original script. If only I had the pure awesomeness to devote time into character research on the lil homie R2D2; but no, I will leave this up to people way more cool than I am. And sit back and enjoy.
The whole experience might be disorienting and confusing if you haven’t seen the original in awhile. The honest dead give away started really really early into it at 00:03:38 when Woody from Toy Story and everyone’s favorite Turtle Gang were involved, shooting shit up. I forgot who was who and what they were doing. They were obviously fighting, but por que?
Combating my teetering confusion through out the movie, I can say overall I’m really stoked I got to watch it. The remake is not just for fans, young kids, or oldies, its also for stoners everywhere. Who just wanna roll a fatty and watch some comical awesome shit. So green lover not, I highly suggest you sit back and watch. You won’t be disappointed.
Jackie Chain Molly - An emotional rollercoaster
I haven’t been this emotionally confused since I got home wasted and cried to the opening of Pixar’s UP as the sun rose. Part of me feels that this video failed miserably, missing an amazing opportunity to showcase an up and coming talent singing about Americas fastest growing recreational drug. Another part of me believes Tek Support Productions in conjunction with Pleazure House Productionz have authentically captured something so real and true - the party you were rolling at wasn’t nearly as awesome as you thought it was.
I can’t tell if both production companies held a contest to see who’s little sister could make the most nauseating music video using iMovie effects or if it’s the oddest most authentic piece of anti drug propaganda to date. (Peter Jennings would not approve)
Either way I fucks with Jackie Chain and will be upping my Molly doses so I never have to see a party like a sober person watching this video. Look out for After Hours Jackie Chain and Nick Catchdubs upcoming mixtape out later this month.
Turns Out I’m Near Sighted: Unboxing Warby Parker
They say wearing glasses accelerates the decline in eyesight that comes from aging, so the fact that I’ve been able to hold out until nearly 30 comforts me. Especially since my decision to face inevitable myopia head-on comes from my irrational need to buy into Warby Parker’s branding.
The branding oozes effortless-chic; it offers the perfect salve for my raging neuroses. I found Warby’s Holiday Spectacle pop-up shop (link expired) in a converted car garage on Grand St. “No big deal, just using reclaimed wood and restored vintage furniture to accent these cloth carnival tents.” Fuck — it was cool as hell in there.
Anyway, they offered $50 eye exams and frames in various styles for $90 (after the $5 holiday discount - unimpressive!). I went with the Begley look because my girlfriend liked them and I think the sales rep was flirting with me.
The Begley frame is light-weight and rests easily on the bridge of my nose. The color is midnight blue. The lenses are made out of a glass-like polycarbonite material. Warby Parker donated a pair of glasses to “a person in need” thanks to my purchase. None of this soothes the despair creeping into my heart that I overpaid for a trendy pair of glasses that will one day ruin my eyesight.
Irony! Enjoy the unboxing photos.
