Work FTL [Labor Day Edition]

Work sucks, but I don't have to tell you that, do I? Clearly you agree, because most likely you're reading this from your place of employment. What's that? You're reading this from the comfort of your heated bidet? You sir, are disgusting. Please don't come back to my blog.

My demographic.

Now that it's just us, let me proceed. Since Wednesday of this week I have been coming in to work after 12pm, today I came in at 1pm. Tonight I'll probably be here well into the night, possibly spilling in to tomorrow morning. SYMPATHIZE DAMMIT!!

This is roughly how my day breaks down:

15% doing actual work.
50% chatting and reading my various intellectual publications (read: blogs).
5% eating and/or drinking.
30% reading 'Watchmen.'

My younger sister, who at some point in her life surpassed me in awesomeness, is letting me borrow it.

This is no laughing matter you sick bastard.

Believe it or not, this is the first comic book/graphic novel I've ever read and I LOVE IT! It's really incredible how good the story and artwork are. I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that this was written over 20 years ago. The impetus for me reading this is Zack Snyder's upcoming film adaptation. Good readers, since nearly everything read on the internet should be taken as fact, hear this: Although I'm not even half way through, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite books. If you have any desire to see the movie, READ THIS BOOK.

PixelJunk Eden [Me Likey]

LSD not included.

This is my newest obsession. It's available for download from the PSN (That's Playstation Network for all you "normal" people). PixelJunk Eden is the newest creation from Q-Games, it gives you control of something called a Grimp (Grand + Pimp?) which jumps and swings from various flora and fauna growing through the level. It's incredibly hard to explain, so just take a look for yourself.



That's me playing. The game comes with this great feature that allows you to record gameplay and upload it to youtube directly from the game. If you've got $10 to spare, pick this addictive game up.

Me Wanty [Footwear Edition]

Not Pictured: The avalanche of poon tang that comes with these.

These bad boys are the newest creation from Nike. If there was every any proof of the existence of God, this is it. They're called Hyperdunk 2015's, any self-respecting movie nerd will immediately get the reference. As for the rest of you, too bad.



Geek's everywhere have been clamoring for something like this for nearly 20 years. Personally, I would make sweet, sweet love to these--hey, I wonder if that's how I got that case of athlete's foot...

A few of the geekier touches include:

The midsole has a pink and green hoverboard design, and if you lift it out, there's a flux capacitor logo underneath it on the heel. The tongue of the shoe has orange/red Back to the Future arrows, and three dates and times as they might appear on the Flux capacitor's controller: November 12 (the day the clock was struck by lightning), and two October days, partially obscured by a graphic.

I don't know where or how to get a pair of these, but some day, they will be mine.

This Week in Rape Alley

At the end of every week I'll be recapping what happened in Rape Alley. What is rape alley? If you don't know, you've clearly never been out drinking with me.

My office is situated on one side of an alley. What's that? A satellite image of the area would really help you visualize the whole thing?

BAM. What now, mother effers? Yes, that is actually my office. The building across the way is a movie theater. Now, it's not like we're in some remote area of the city. I'm about 100 yards away from Downtown Culver City. Which makes things like this even more mind boggling:

That's the view from outside my window. For some reason, people think that they're in total seclusion in said alley, so they have absolutely no qualms about doing drugs, drinking, vandalizing, and our newest addition: raping.

That pic was snapped earlier this week. The dude was forcefully groping and kissing the victim. I guess rape is a little bit of an exaggeration. It was more of a heavy molesting. But 'heavy molestation alley' doesn't sound quite as good. Also, for as much as she was resisting his advances she seemed oddly in to it. He's probably got money or something.

Yesterday, this happened:

Not Pictured: "To Catch a Predator" crew moving in for the kill.

What took place was possibly the lamest/most unprofessional photo shoot I've ever seen. The crew consisted of that weird dude, that's it. He was using a Kodak point and shoot and was never seen without a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. If I had to guess, which I do, because my urge to guess is nearly as strong as my urge to dance, I would say these pictures are going to be for personal use (read: masturbatory purposes).
