Once, a long time ago, Nicolas Cage was a respectable actor. Then he took a role in The Rock, yada yada, now he’s in second rate movies like Matchstick Men, The Weather Man, and The Wicker Man. Pretty much anything ending in “man.” The latter especially has attracted a lot of disdain. I’ve never seen it but after hearing enough bad things to get curious I started looking around Youtube. Turns out it’s some kind of unintentional comedy goldmine. Something about bees? I won’t try to explain. Just watch these:

I just saw Quintron and Miss Pussycat in Austin. Quintron makes his own instruments and Miss Pussycat makes her own puppets. If you feel like dancing, and I know Gosia and Carolyn do, go see them at The Biltmore in Vancouver on the 18th. I’m sure there wont be 3$ tall cans of Lone Star, but just drink before.

About a month ago Lindsay, Jessica (Jcheung) and I played this animal drawing game. Everyone wrote down animal names on slips of paper, and then each round two paper slips are chosen, and everyone has to draw the animal combination. Lindsay is really proud of her “squat” creature.

Or maybe I should have lied and said I had graphic design experience? Anyone got any good job stories to comfort me in my unemployment?

It only took a 3 hours bus ride and a 39 hour train ride to get here, but I’m not in LA. I did a whole lot of nothing on the train. In fact, I didn’t even read that paper. More photos of things I saw from the window after the jump, and even more here.

So I was looking at photos of Persian rugs and came across this. Katrin Sonnleitner made puzzle pieces that lets you design your own rugs. There’s a few rug shops round my office and one of them always has a rug with AK 49’s on it.
Full puzzle rug after the jump.

theres even a smoking rule. I recently received this wonderful drinking game* from 1971. I love the smiling dead logo with a pink nose, and pretty much everything else about it. The fuschia box would make you think the board is all sorts of crazy, but it looks like it was based off monopoly, and pastel. Anyways, I think November will be a great time to play.
