So, I want this. Nintendo DSi.
I also want this. Touch Diamond.
I don't really have anything interesting to tell you about other than that.
I wish we had this label here.
Enjoy the above links.
Thank you.

My new Eames chair.


Unfortunately it is only big enough to seat an an anole lizard(3-7 inches), instead of a Noel person (17-71 inches). But it will do for now. Here's the whole set-up plus (1) supplemental photo.
Thank you for your time. I know toy chairs aren't everyone's interest, so I really appreciate you sharing in my excitement.

Listen to this you idiots,
So In an on going search for a quick and easy and decent quality video converter, I have found something that I think I actually like.
It is called quick media converter... http://www.cocoonsoftware.com/
It's totally stupid and friendly, and it does this totally crazy thing that all the other freeware ones fail to do; works. Batches and everything, I didn't have to fuck around with anything... Anyway sorry- but yeah it's pretty good so, there's a worthless blog entry if I've ever seen one. and I have.
I will have something happen in my life pretty soon that will be more interesting for you, okay? so calm down. Shhh. It's okay.

I started school. Which is intense, but gives me some kind of purpose. I get to think all travel all day long.
A girl in my class said
" Now that the school has deemed me sufficiently well-rounded I can pursue my intellectual education."
When she was explaining she received her degree and is now just taking this writing class for fun. Later she said- "I am an editor for a local publication run by the school." By which she intended to say - I work for the Rearguard.
This is a pretty good example of what you are up against at Portland state. However all poopheads aside- hurrah! for school! I'm going to go do homework-

I started cleaning and got sidetracked by a diorama frame I've had for years, and a pile of junk from Japan...

Windows - Kansas
Kansas has the worst videos. Please note the obligatory shots of actual windows, the production in these shots is amazing; you can actually see the frame of the window of the car they are shooting from. WINDOWS think about it idiots.
Also what's with all these bands thinking they can call themselves cities and states?
As far as I can tell Chicago was first in 67 than Kansas in 72 and believe it or not than Boston in 76, I really would have figured Boston to be before Kansas because they suck so much. but there you have it. The crazy fact here lies in the settlement of the actual places the bands got their names from. I know you may only be familiar with these amazing artists, but did you know the names they choose to represent themselves actually come from places with in the continental US?
Boston was settled in 1630 Chicago around 1770 and the Kansas-Nebraska act passed in 1854, making Kansas a state in the 1860s.
Amazing I need to do further research, and I'll get back to you. What other bands have city and state names?

I hate saturday night live.

Don't watch much of these videos.
This show is a pile of shit.
I've made a diagram of how the show seems to work.

Some people argue that because of Christopher walken and other amusing people, that the show has on occasion been funny.
However I inputed this data into my computer and ran it against the 300 years "SNL"* has been on the air, I came to this conclusion;
Using time as a constant, and the variable of actually laughing or smiling, the uncertainty principle provides the missing equation. "It is utterly impossible for an organism or entity to live or exist every saturday night for three hundred years and not accidentally or coincidently create some kind of humor."*
I will be publishing my findings in The American Journal Of Mass Delusion (AJMD) at the end of this fiscal year.

Get Ugly and loving it.










If you have looked at the homepage of myspace lately, you may have noticed this "Get Smart"®©$ advertisement. You may also have noticed its particularly terrible quality. Who made this? This is literally the worst. 
1. Stupid Steve Coral's®©$ Face is totally out of focus
2. Hot babe 1's hair has been terribly cut out
3. Saving the world and loving it®©$ Really? 
The show was bad but man, this web banner is way worse.
Okay sorry-
Noel

Entry ROBO-Nonsense ENGAGED




"We'll give you a lift... to jail."
Remember when toy commercials had crazy home made set-ups the kids imply made. What a time.
If you were wondering what that commercial was like in england, (which is where I think I first saw it) looked like... it was like this
The robo-copter you may note retailed at "around 20.35" The caps that were indeed sold separately smelt amazing and that scent 
is forever emblazoned in my mind. I still have my Robocop figure and there is a bunch of "cap goop" jammed in his robo-circuits. 
Also the figure's and vehicle's shiny metallic blue paint, started to crack like a wafer thin layer of clay after a while, and is consequently 
all over all my old action figures. 
I never had this but wow, I would have sure liked to have.
Those memories are on the house. Enjoy.
Now let's get down to business. There appears to be an airgun of Robocops gun, here's the creepist video I could find of it.
I was pretty excited to find an exploded diagram on one.

Entry 7G (seven gee)

Today I watched this animation from 2003 called Harvery Crumpet, if you haven't seen it, it had some good things in it such as "he had lost the will to die"

Before that I watched the last hour or so of 1997s Elvis meets Nixon.

Other than that I haven't done much.

Entry Supplemental New Video(Again)

Alright idiots. Yeah.
Check it, I finished another video... This dynamic* however may be becoming a problem, because it is boring to watch.
*- two characters talking to each other and nothing happening.
Anyway, this "story" works slightly better for it.
Here's a list of things to look out for-
-Totally cheesy pre-made effects!
-Totally actually cool sound effects
-Possibly dirtier humor than the norm (I can't really tell, I censor PeeWees adventure[not my line])
-I'm an idiot
Okay so as usual, it's not great. But I think the last 5 seconds makes it worth watching.

Run time: 04:44

Entry supplemental: New video

So I've been at my computer far too long. I hate editing things... It shows. However here is a new video. I for some reason, keep making fake commercials... It's such an easy mark, maybe that's why I keep doing it. Anyway, it's not amazing, it's not even very funny, but it does have some, kind of neat animation for like 4 seconds, that took me all day today... okay here it is.

Let me know if there are any errors or if anything should be changed...

Entry 6F (sixeff) The first day of death (the class)

Today I started classes again, one week late. I told my teachers to go fuck themselves, they did not, they did however totally understand that I was going to miss the first week of school and give me absolutely no crap about it. Another great advantage to missing the first week (the first advantage being the fact itself)was this; In Wolk's class we are supposed to meet in groups of our own assemblage. I, however wasn't there when said groups were forming, thus I left class an hour early pretending I was walking over to wherever my group meets, and proceeded to my Scion XA parked conveniently across the street. I think I will keep this game up for as long as I can.
Idiots.
Okay so once I got home I imedietly started sulking, then sudenly as if out of a dream. I started a painting, because I want to get a few done... It's been awhile and it kinda shows... I'm rusty.
This is where you come in, when I turn the lights out I want you to shout real loud if you think it is done or needs tunning.
READY?
NOW!

Some of my colleges might recognize the friendly motorist depicted above. What's that you say, you thought it was an abstract painti... Oh I see, yes very clever.
Idiots.

Entry 5E (fivey)Today is the day I was born.

Today I am 23 years old. This is what my face looks like today. There is a lite rain outside and I am having spaghetti for dinner. I am in Portland Oregon, and haven't taken a shower. I booked a ticket to Japan. I set up my parents new high definition cable box. I wrote two emails to two of my professors, and received a few text messages. I got the twenty pounds my nana sent me exchanged into 39 dollars and showed my dad how to use Itunes.
Last night I went to Ground Kontrol and played a lot of my favorite games, including the tron disk game, that is my favorite. I got to level 3 of the 70s star wars game where you blow up the deathstar over and over again. I lost two quarters in the machines, but then found two quarters on the ground. My amazing friends bought me beer and gave me quarters.
So far this has been the best birthday I have had.
Also my cats brought me breakfast in bed. Which was sweet, but there was a lot of hair in it, and Missy put her favorite cat toys in the omelet, because she doesn't understand the concept of an omelet.
(sorry the quality was so bad I only had time to sneak a camera phone image before they bolted out of the room. They thought I was still asleep I think.)

This is fairly self explanatory. It's also my favorite thing now.

Entry # 4 D (fourdee)

Hello.
I'm in a class for "screenwriting".
Colby's in this class.
Our teacher told us some great stories about his real life exercises; including being a dirty COLD WAR spy for the United States. And teaching a class of BLACK PANTHERS.
I get kind of bored though when he's not talking about those times. So I have started drawing these silly doodles and leaving blank word boxes. I pass the papers with the drawings on over to Colby and she gets really annoyed, which is half the fun, but sometimes she will fill in the bubble. Here's my favorite example.

Here's another...



This one was Colby's blurb idea, but she refused to write it in, so I did later.

I drew this little doodle before all of these...
Then later, today in fact, at HOME, I drew this...

Ok everyone Thank you.

ENTRY supplemental 2- We can build you

So My Philip Dick teacher (Mr. Wolk) hands out some papers for us to read. one of them contains an image like this.

Under which there are some words loosely describing what is taking place. "Cyborg of Dick at Nextfest in Chicago" That's not what it read at all, but you don't need to know exactly what it did read because some assholes made a robot of Philip K. Dick. Don't worry I've looked into it for you. It was unveiled at the 2005 Nextfest and designed by some wizards who are affiliated with Hanson Robotics, the FedEx Institute of Technology and the Automation and Robotics Research Institute. The first thing that hit me was how much this thing looks like Phil, Apparently the skin is some magical copy-written wonder polymer (f'rubber), that hides some low energy electronics that move his face ever so subtly. The face was produced by roboticist/ sculptor David Hanson of said Hanson robotics. Hanson says PKD was the one who got him into robotics vicariously through his books. He spent $25,000 of his own money making this robot. So This other magic person Andrew Olney wrote the software that runs through the head. Apparently it has all of dick's writings in its memory and can recognize the sound and site of Dick's friends and relations. They even used Dick's work as a basis for the software. The head was put onto a body and the body was put onto a representation of an american 1970s living room. Ok so let's recap this Robot is amazing, These people are magic, and the the head is missing. Oh yeah I didn't mention that yet, well this wonderment parade of my dreams was rumored to go on tour at comic-cons then rest in the Smithsonian in a plastic case, but it seems the head has escaped, possibly to whale's mouth(oh vague reference), but more likely toted off my marauders, the luckiest airplane passengers/flight attendants in the world are probably as we speak, feeding cereal to PKD in some dimly lit apartment, listening to the local affiliate of UPN playing Blind date reruns; you see On a flight to Las Vagas Hanson left the head safely tucked away in the overhead bin. He walked off the plane got a connecting flight, went home. Then probably punched himself in the dick for leaving a 25,000 dollar high-tech fantastic dream in a smelly tan-colored american-west 747. "I stuck the bag containing the robot head in the overhead bin and fell asleep. I didn't even know we were changing planes in Las Vegas. The flight attendant woke me up, and I walked off the plane in a fog - with the robot head still in the overhead bin." The head was allegedly found and put on board the next flight to San Fransisco, but somewhere somehow the thing japed. (god that's clever to learn more about that reference check out the wikipedia on "the man who japed") Well the program and "brain" of this PKD is still intact on someones laptop. America west may sponsor a new one made, but in the mean time that head is out there, possibly in an undeclared luggage warehouse, possibly in that dimly lit living room, but quite definitely in my dreams.

Entry #3 C (Three Cee)

Happy Dr.MLKJ day everyone, and I think you know who you are. First off it's been a while and a lot has happened not only to everything but more importantly me. But nobody wants to hear about either of those coincidences. Let's start this session by looking to the past, my past.



Exhibit A: contents (1 hand-me-down bell-bottom jumpsuit, composited of cotton, elastic and nylon; presumably) (1 swing-set, composited of regular-style swing accompanied by strange seat swingy level see-saw thing) (3 advanced talking PeeWee Herman doll)

















There also appears to be some sort of plastic container under me, I assume a bubble making kit, but I don't feel that detail is important.

Moving right along Next we have a representation of my father in Oil. It's about as done as it's willing to be, as per usual I'm not in love with it, but once I get an ugly enough frame to dress it, it will hang.
It appears (to my mother) my Father is 28 years in the photograph this is based on, the shirt is of course younger and possibly ageless because it does not appear in the photograph as my father was not allowed to wear shirts until he was 40. This is what I gather from the family albums, I've never asked. Also had the canvas been larger I'm sure a can of beer would be resting somewhere. Interesting note; this painting is pretty hideous and my father's final words on the matter were; "I don't like the subject matter"
This is where our trip to the past ends. I would love to tell you more about it, but for that we will have to shcedule a private meeting. My office ours are posted on the portland state website. If you were wondering
Monday: Some road movie bullshit 5.5- 9?
Tuesday: Man sits in front of room and talks slowly about what-ever he can recall about Philip Dick and whatever else, as he wears his biker pant leg strap and changes between reading and seeing glasses. 10-11:45?
Screenwriting 4:40-7?
Wednesday:
Thursday: see "Tuesday"
Friday:
(author's note: question marks appear where times are incorrect or uncited)
Thank you.
