Last Week, In Paris…
Posted in Art, Exhibits, Fashion, Food/Drinks, Travel, paris on Dec 8th, 2009
What a difference a decade makes.
The last time I visited Paris, I was an impressionable (read: sensitive) 17 year old and I left the city with a bitter taste in my mouth thinking the food sucked and the people sucked even more.
Fast forward 12 years, and after a short trip to Amsterdam, it was off [...]
A Day In ‘The Dam’
Posted in Food/Drinks, Photography, Travel on Dec 1st, 2009
Before arriving to Paris, I spent my Saturday in Amsterdam taking in the sights, strolling the canal-lined streets, and mostly trying to keep warm. Gotta love the Dam — been there five times over the past 10 years, and the sheer amounts both coffeeshops, bikes and near accidents never seems to disappoint! Only place in [...]

Helloooooo.com is excited about another promotional partnership with The Granada Theater in Dallas, this time for She Wants Revenge on Thursday, September 10. I’m a big fan of ‘She Wants’ and find their music to be of love and imagination, but others have told me their albums (and songs like ’Disconnect’) are depressing and could be categorized as suicide music. Well, those folks are wrong. [...]
Shok and I were excited to get an email late Monday from Max Tannone, the NYC DJ mastermind behind Jaydiohead. He emailed to show some love and to share with us his newest project: Doublecheck Your Head. Straight from the man’s own keyboard:
“In any case, I wanted to share my new project with your blog…I [...]
Tomorrow is gearing up to be a hectic evening in the Big D. Make sure to check out HOYOTOHO at Ghostbar, and for the not-so-bashful, Peaches at Granada may be in play as well. Below is the RIDICULOUS title track off her album, “I Feel Cream.” What a perv.
We will be there. And with Peaches performing earlier in the evening at Granada, the night promises to get weird. Good weird.
Cool Reason To Never Leave Your House: Project Natal
Posted in Technology, Television, Videos on Jun 5th, 2009
I’m not really sure what to say about this…so I’m just going to share what Wikipedia tought me:
Project Natal (pronounced “na-tall”(IPA: [naˈtal])) is the code name for a “controller-free gaming and entertainment experience” by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, Project Natal enables [...]
Happy Mother’s Day, SNL Style

From the perverts who brought you “Dick in a Box,” here is the new Mother’s Day anthem: “Motherlover.”
Cool Commercial: Philips Carousel

Absolute dopeness, for the world’s first Cinema format Television from Philips (21:9). Directed by Adam Berg…
It’s official, like a gangsta with a pistol. The smoking ban instituted last Friday in Dallas bars and pool halls is in full effect.
Resident Chris Alexander, a cigarette smoker, said he would honor the citywide ban by smoking on outdoor decks and patios as allowed under the new regulations. “I’ll keep going to bars in [...]
Always one to push the envelope of creativity, Stella McCartney’s magical “Lucky Spot” crystal horse sculpture has been reinstalled in Belsay Castle in the UK. Originally displayed in the castle in 2004, it is back for the Easter holiday. Stella McCartney was inspired to create Lucky Spot following a visit to Belsay. Her response to [...]
Evidence that the doc does not just blindly preach, but is a firm practicer (did I just make this word up?) of what he believes in. For the record, the doc believes in: a direct correlation between the size of morning wood and how good your day is going to be, the Lakers, unicorns, the [...]
Normally I can’t stand any kind of awards show, but with all the heavy hitters performing at yesterdays 51st Annual Grammy Awards, I had to stay close to the tube. This video, along with Radiohead’s performance (USC marching band in tow), were the highlights for yours truly.

Boys and girls, it’s getting close to that time…time for the sickest festival of the year, every year. Officially released lineup so start becoming REALLY nice to all your friends whose parents own digs in Palm Springs and start begging everyone you know for VIP Bracelets/Artists Passes/Handicapped Parking Passes. See y’all in Indio.
On January 27, 2009 The Lomographic Society is opening The Lomography Gallery Store in New York City. Located in the bustling, historic Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, The Lomography Gallery Store New York will provide the whole range of Lomographic products and services, a wide range of analog photography products, and most exciting of all, [...]
…..it probably wouldn’t look like this at all. However, I did exclaim a loud “Jesus Christ!” when Shok showed me the limited edition Santos 100 Squelette wrist candy. Keeping in form with a recent trend towards “skeletonizing” popular watch lines, our BFF’s at Cartier have done the same with the Santos (gilberto’s watch of choice). [...]
The Cut Off
Posted in Lifestyle on Jan 15th, 2009
At what point after the New Year is it toooooo late to wish someone a Happy New Years? It’s pretty irritating, and the scary part is hearing it as much as I have recently, its caused me a little mental retardation to the point where I have found myself doing the same. So I ask you, when do we get to officially end [...]
Shaq-ovich or Shaq-the-bitch?
Posted in Sports on Jan 14th, 2009
Shaq. The Diesel. Shaq Fu. The Big Daddy. Superman. Osama Bin Shaq. The Big Banana. The Big Cactus. The Big Shaqtus. The Big Baryshnikov. The Big Aristotle. And of course, The Big Crybaby Bitch. All in all, Shaquille O’Neal has had his fair share of self-imposed nicknames over the years.
And now, folks, he goes by [...]
Gilberto is going through some big changes in 2009. Aside from the whole puberty thing, he also moved from one of those antiquated, more intimate “I can hear everything you are doing Neighbor Tim” apartment buildings to a behemoth, key-card-requiring-mega-apartment-complex. You know, the kind with a trash chute you can smell seven corridors away?
That said, [...]
I have to say I might be one of the luckiest bastards alive. If I lose it…somehow it generally finds itself coming right back to me. It all started out when I lost my digital camera after an amazing trip to Austin for SXSW. Pictures of me making out with a beautiful girl (who later turned [...]
Oprah’s A Fattie
Posted in Lifestyle, Television on Jan 7th, 2009
I dont think I need to wake up and hear about how Oprah has tipped 230 pounds on the scale. Yes you were fat, got skinny, and are now fat again. Good luck in 2009, but note to CNN: Oprah’s weight is not news worthy, and unless she wants to go on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser,” the [...]
