Joseph Ling + KING KHAN

MY FAVE.
I don't like math. I hate math. If I could personify math, it would be Attila the Hun. I would punch it in the face. BUT I LOVE MY PROF. No joke, he is a great teacher and a great person. Anyways, now that I'm finished my calculus assignment, I've lately become obsessed with KING KHAN & THE SHRINES and THE KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW. It's great old-school punk with a little bit of surfer reverb stuck in there, which has really gotten into my head lately. Plus, me and shelby were talking about good summer songs, and I really think that this crazy surfer music is GREAT for summer. So maybe me/shelby/drew will be posting some summer songs to warm up the fucking-cold winter months. Voilà:

Today, I watched a really awful movie about pirates. It was bad. So bad that it inspired meet to talk about my favourite movies and more importantly, my favourite director of all time: WES ANDERSON. You know, the guy who directed all those super artsy movies, like The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Rushmore. I guess since I'm such an indie asshole, I love these movies. But O.K. Let's talk about Wes Anderson! He started off real small and his first movie, Bottle Rocket, not only boosted his career but the careers of a certain brotherly duo: Luke and Owen Wilson. And then Wes got into those really crazy, really awesome movies, mostly with Bill Murray cameos and Seu Jorge in the soundtrack. Then I got to creeping the interweb about him and found this really fantastic site! THE RUSHMORE ACADEMY, christened after his movie Rushmore, is all things Anderson and Anderson-related. There's a lot of fun stuff, especially about his new movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

I also found this quiz on their site, which I hope you like -- and which I definitely don't take credit for:

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR LIFE IS A WES ANDERSON FILM
Here’s five ways to tell if you’re in a Wes Anderson film.

#1 You are or you see a lot of Bill Murray.
He’s been in all of Anderson’s movies except one … where presumably James Caan took his place. So, Bill Murray is a good indicator your life is in the middle of a Wes Anderson plot. (Note: This also holds true if you are or you see a lot of Kumar Pallana.)

#2 Your soundtrack has 70s rock-n-Roll or other obscure music.
Soundtracks are the thumbprint of movies, and Anderson’s print is distinctive, colorful, out-of-the-ordinary, and a little pretentious … which pretty much reflects his movies. So, if you own Seu Jorge …

#3 Your surroundings are bathed in bright, distinctive colors
(unless you’re going to make a suicide attempt … then it’s cool colors). If soundtracks are one thumbprint, this is the other. Especially if you wear greens and yellows or a range of reds and oranges.

#4 At the end of the day, things go in slow motion.
This holds true unless you’re running after a train; then it’s slow motion, followed by regular motion. So, #4 should read “At the end of the day, or in the next-to-last part of the end of the day …”

#5 You have a strange relationship with a parent or parental figure.
Especially if the strange relationship involves #1.

If more than 3 1/2 of these things describe you, smile, crank up your music, and slow down … your life, though crazy, is pretty good fodder for the rest of us.

sex machine

a happier tidbit for today. Lately I've been obsessing and stalking his website, and if you've seen this sexy man of a boy, you would know why. Have you seen CRIMINAL MINDS? Have you ever been stumped by the good looks and unending knowledge of Dr. Spencer Reid, aka. sexiest boy alive? I was. So I googled him, found out his name was Matthew Gray Gubler, and that he's a model, artist, actor, director, musician, etc. and I also found out he has a website! So of course I stalked it and checked out every detail. His art is actually amazing -- like the stuff you'd find in Roald Dahl's books. Really out-there and wild. There's also a poem by edgar allan poe that he recorded (with his voice -- yum). Then I decided to keep being a stalker and I found a fancy fan site for him, called The Gube.

Matthew Gray Gubler is my sexy man of the year(s). He is totally tubular. and sexy. and talented.

Some people already know this, but I am a creeper. So, since I'm such a creeper, I'll share my creepy site that takes you into the homes of famous people! The Selby is what I use to get into the home of people like the Cobrasnake, and why not, Peaches Geldof and her buds. Just because. It's all done by Tom Selby, a nice person and also really funny from what I read on his wee surveys. And, just from looking, I can tell that me and the Cobrasnake are gonna be great friends. I just know. ALSO! I really love the clothing label Lover, a not-so-teeny-weeny label anymore created by two australian lovebirds, Nic and Susien, and their cat Potato, and you can see their humble abode on The Selby too!

Plus, they do these super cute handwritten surveys that are too funny sometimes.
