Really, I Want To Know

I saw Star Trek last night. Don't ask me why.
My question is:

Why do the bad guys space ships in movies always look like poisonous spiders with lots of extra legs, and the good guys ships resemble high-end vibrators?

Who decides this kind of stuff? The comic book kids living in basements? I mean, wouldn't the good guys want a bad ass looking ship to cruise around in?

In Which My (40-something/surfer/dad/wilco-fan) Creative Director is More Fashionable than Me.

This is the part of my life in which I learn that not only are my old clothes not cool or worth the $4 they pay you at Wasteland to resell them, but that my boss is MORE STYLISH THAN ME by westside hipster standards. I think I've had that sales girl look at me before, judging me. In the lunch line in 2nd grade when I picked orange drink instead of milk. And you know what? We weren't friends then either. The only thing that she bought from me was an XL animal collective T shirt that my boss gave me because he didn't like it. And I was selling it because I didn't like it. (Why are AC's t shirts always so bad....)

I'm out. I am leaving the runway. I'm going to quit being a designer and make rebuses for the rest of my life.

Why Don't You Just Sit On The Couch And Eat All The Chips

2009 is fantastic. I keep buying new music and getting new music from other people who've bought it. I can't stop listening. How does it make me feel? It makes me feel good. Not just good. Great. Like the women in the yogurt commercial at the wedding talking about how great it is to be women, because they're eating yogurt together and aren't married. I realize I've become addicted to certain music bloggers archive lists. Sometimes I find myself looking forward to Thursdays just so I can listen to gorilla vs. bear. I'm upset if I get to work and I miss parts of the blog. It's like a sickness. I'm like those people who need a twelve step program. Maybe I need to stop. But I just can't. I don't want to. Kind of like I don't want to stop drinking coffee, or wine.

Favorite things I've gotten recently:
Akron/Family - Set 'em wild, set 'em free
Junior Boys - Begone Dull Care
St Vincent - Actor
The Woods
Bonnie Prince Billie - Beware
Handsome Furs
Here We Go Magic
Dan Auerbach
Ariel Pink
Vega
Salem

and new Grizzly Bear, Deerhunter, and the National will be out soon.
And if someone could tell me where I could buy Neon Indian that would be great.

Where was all this awesome fucking music last year???

Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?

Let The Right One In.
There's something really refreshing about being able to say "My favorite part of the movie was the pool scene with the dismembered hand floating in the water." Little-ish kids en film don't bug me when they're growling and changing adults into vampires. Rad.
Sweden=Rad.
Vampire Kids=Rad (unless you're a teenage single mom! use Birth Control for
best results.
Snowfalling Scene=Rad (i don't gotta shovel that shiz)
