A Dule update

Monday, May 26th, 2008 by some dude

A Dule update for mom and dad, since they don’t facebook.

She still likes her veggies … eating cauliflower here.

She loves being chased by other dogs. But a rake will do. (This is from a month ago so she’s bigger now).

She got a stripe of darker short hair down her back that’s spread now so she’s all scraggly looking.

Japanese Office

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 by some dude

It’s funny because they’re really speaking Japanese and it all makes sense. And the commercial is so true.

(Damn Hulu pre-rolls)

English lessons. In Japan.

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 by some dude

This is the first thing I could say in both Japanese and English…

The narrator at the end says to gesture like you mean it.

Spare me my life! I was robbed by two men!

Pants-peeing worthy.

One Friday After Four-thirty

Sunday, April 20th, 2008 by some dude

Fridays After Five is a concert series during the summer in downtown Charlottesville, with concerts taking place every Friday (obviously) after work. For SFers, think Stern Grove, but much smaller/local acts and more mingling.

We decided we couldn’t wait for the season to start, so we put on our own rock concert. With Rock Band. At the Pavilion. “One Friday After Four-thirty.” The band is Panty Zamboni.

The roadies setting up.

Off to a rough start. The wind gave us some problems and the lyrics were illegible. Band manager: For our next gig we need sandbags and static lyrics mode on our rider.

Rocking out.

This would be Tea Bags’ final performance before his fatal heroin overdose.

Tea Bags. Almost passed out. Eating grass. If Bloc Party was on Rock Band, I could understand the confusion (”like eating glass” / “like eating grass”), but I’m not sure how this happened. …And then he passed out, like a true rock star.

Fans show up.

And we let them play. Cuz he can actually sing.

Traffic jam wave

Monday, April 14th, 2008 by some dude

Japanese scientists recreated the wave effect of cars slowing down and creating traffic. Next time you’re slamming on the breaks for no apparent reason, it could be because some idiot 5 miles ahead of you cut someone off 15 minutes ago. Now instead of getting extra pissed that there’s no accident, you can say to yourself with satisfaction and appreciation, “ah, the Japanese donut ripple effect.”

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor on her own stroke

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 by some dude

From TED Talks

And I lost my balance and I’m propped up against the wall. And I look down at my arm and I realize that I can no longer define the boundaries of my body. I can’t define where I begin and where I end.

Then all of a sudden my left hemisphere comes back online and it says to me, “Hey! we got a problem, we got a problem, we gotta get some help.” So it’s like, OK, OK, I got a problem, but then I immediately drifted right back out into the consciousness, and I affectionately referred to this space as La La Land. But it was beautiful there. Imagine what it would be like to be totally disconnected from your brain chatter that connects you to the external world.
