young forwarded me these “landscape” beef propaganda ads

they are fun and a little gross. i kinda want a steak so it’s not that gross, but still. the cliff one reminds me of the Point Reyes Seashore.

i am on a losing streak when it comes to rentals this week. first this boring and predictable thriller called Fracture and then this sci-fi dystopian action flick called Equilibrium.

(8:25:56 AM) audrey: i watched equilibrium last night, that movie was mega corny
(8:26:09 AM) audrey: last time i listen to you
(10:40:45 AM) woo: i didnt say it was classic
(10:46:12 AM) audrey: That part where Christian Bale risks his life to save a puppy because it licked his face is so corny
(10:46:33 AM) audrey: You just like movies where puppies are protected by futuristic machine gun toting martial arts freaks
(11:03:20 AM) woo: maybe true
(11:06:05 AM) woo: watch big rig
(11:06:10 AM) audrey: NO
(11:06:13 AM) woo: yes
(11:06:14 AM) audrey: i’m not listening to you anymore
(11:06:19 AM) woo: shut your face
(11:07:02 AM) woo: you would have watched equilibrium eventually anyway
(11:07:15 AM) audrey: no i wouldn’t, it got lousy reviews
(11:07:15 AM) woo: you wish christian bale would come to your house and yell at you

yesterday i had lunch with coworkers outside the ferry building. somehow pirates came up in the conversation and i mentioned there are pirates today still but they sport ak-47s instead of swords. i had to leave early to get back to work and on the walk back, i see a freaking PIRATE SHIP in the bay. On top of that, i heard explosions that sounded like cannons.

back at the office, i told everyone that i saw a pirate ship firing cannons in the bay and NOBODY believe me. “audrey i think you had too much wine” “sure there was a pirate ship”. i barely even had one glass of wine.

so this morning one of my coworkers comes by with the SF Chronicle and lo and behold, my “imaginary” pirate ship is on the front page of the paper with a caption about it firing cannons.

VINDICATED, BITCHES!

i don’t know how or why i have this, but this cuban cover of a franz ferdinand song came on my itunes by a side project of BV Social Club Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo and i kinda really like it:

it’s sunday morning and i’m doing what i do every sunday morning - drinking coffee at my computer while browsing the interweb and listening to albums i haven’t played in a while before heading out to breakfast. my internal alarm clock goes off at 8am no matter what. not complaining, i love being an early riser cause no one is up when i am.

anyway, i need a late pass because i just discovered this site Passive Aggressive Notes which is a site where people submit hilarious hostile notes people leave. i’m cracking up reading some of these to the Black Caesar soundtrack. In the 10 years of shared housing experience i have, i am lucky i have never had to deal with a roommate who left notes.

i just ordered this cake for my coworker’s birthday and am super pumped to eat it. on a related note, i don’t know how i stumbled upon these but they are rule bigtime:

i caught the all star homerun derby on TV last night and now officially admire the hell out of rangers outfielder josh hamilton. how this guy can come back from a hardcore addiction to alcohol, heroin and crack to completely dominate the home run derby by mashing 28 home runs in the first round (3 of them past 500 feet) is beyond me. this guy is for real. not to mention he is leading the major-league in RBIs with a ridiculous 95 before the all star break. WTF? his comeback story is like a real life awesome baseball movie. or as hamilton puts it, proof that hope is never lost.

i need to have a cute baby javelina like this boy. odd that they aren’t members of the pig family.

I also need a garden so I can put this zombie garden sculpture in it and scare people

yesterday, the first 20,000 attendees at yankee stadium got fake mustaches. This is because that gross one on jason giambi’s face is so popular at the moment and helped improve his batting average. i wish the giants or a’s had hilarious fan giveaway days like this.

i am having the most random week where money is coming to me out of nowhere. this past weekend, a jacket i tried on at one of those overpriced vintage stores had $20 in the pocket. it’s mine now suckers!! then i got a $50 prepaid debit card from my health insurance to thank me for logging in my exercise activity every week and then they are going to put another $50 in the card at the end of the week. wtf? okay i’ll take that. then today i got a check for $70 because i forgot i was eligible to get settlement money for a class action suit at a temp agency i worked at for 5 months almost 10 years ago. double wtf? usually the settlement checks are pennies but i guess a lot of folks didn’t respond which made my slice of the pie bigger. you snooze you lose batches!! okay, i am so gonna get that zildjian armand ride now there are no more excuses. i put that stimulus check into my savings to resist my normal urges to spend it on shoes or other impulsive crud and now the man upstairs is rewarding me for my penny pinching and giving me a sign that he wants me to spend some money. i’ve put up with a string of mediocre sounding ride cymbals for long enough. it’s time to get super serious about annoying my neighbors.

she’s so pretty!
