I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
make you beg.
I got a bunch of stuff for you today!
For anybody who didn't know, I decided
on a name for my Mini. Handsome Rob. It's the name of the british
guy in The Italian Job. As soon as I thought of it I knew it was
the perfect name. The sexy brit from the Mini Cooper heist film?
What could be a better name. I'd been thinking of something cutesy,
like Tootles, or Bingley, but once it was actually mine and I was driving
around, I knew there was a bit more of an edge to him, the cutesy names
didn't fit.
Handsome Rob: He only answers to
"The Napster" now, Charlie
Charlie Croker: Oh, no. I am not
calling you The Napster.
Lyle: Why not? You call him Left
Ear.
Left Ear: Well, I am.
Lyle: And him Handsome Rob.
Charlie Croker: Well, that's because
he is Handsome Rob!
That's Handsome Rob on the right:

Dirty, Dirty Boy:
I am not the only one to have this
idea:
Baby's first bath:
Clean as a whistle:
Of course, all of this was two days
before the big snow. I don't care. He was clean for two days.
I'll give him another bath this week, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
I get a child-like level of excitement
out of going through an automatic car wash. It's sad really, how
fun I find it. But the results are disappointing. The back
end of the car was still dirty after the car wash and I had to scrub him
down. But now Handsome Rob has his own towel. He's equipped
for interstellar travel.
My building got new siding.
I don't like brown. I didn't want this color. I wanted blue.
So, I saw this on Valentine's Day.
Did somebody have a little oversight? That says Googe, (gooj) right?
I've been getting caught up with
Degrassi online. You can watch several of the most recent episodes
on The-N.com.
You'll never believe it. JT got fucking STABBED. That is some
crazy shiz. "I hope I don't get stabbed. I don't want any part
of that. I don't care if I go through life and I don't help a lot
of people or save a million lives... I just don't wanna get stabbed.
If I can get through life without getting stabbed, I win, you know?"
Anybody know who said that?
The N put out this great ad for a
couple of their shows--Degrassi & Instant Star, it's a Mac Ad parody,
and it's great. I particularly love how proud Emma looks when Jude
brings up "STDs of the mouth."
"Amen to that, sister. I mean,
hot guys never did no harm. And can you look at these guys?"
Jen, Bob & I went to the Tivoli
this weekend to see the showcase of Oscar nominated short films--we decided
to be hardcore, and we watched the live action showcase AND the animated.
I definitely recommend checking it out if you get the chance. And
if you only see one of the two, I'd go with the animated one. Although
I will say that all of the live action short were good (even if some of
them were rather uncomfortable), while one of the animated shorts was just
absolute shit. Ugly animation, bad story. However, it wasn't
one of the nominees. The animated shorts are so brief that they also
show 4 films that were on the "short list" for nomination. The last
one of those was my favorite. It was called "A Gentleman's Duel",
and it was great. Funny, clever, amazing animation. There's
a trailer for it on the Blur Studios website.
Predictions: Helmer & Sons
will win Best Live Action (but I liked Eranos Pocos more--and despite being
hilarious, West Bank Story has not chance), and Maestro for Best Animated.
