The social club of Vs. System is shifting gears. We are undergoing a paradigm update. Today I am going to describe the revolution with words that tend to clump closely according to opening consonants.
1. Instead of an authoritative central location, we now have a Humanizing Hub.
2. Rather than a completely subjective evaluation of the global [...]
Here we go. The new column is scheduled to debut on the mothership on March 12th. It will be called “Rallying Cry!” The grassroots DIY revolution is on, and one of the rides will be a random contest with a sweet little prize: A handmade Vs. System tee-shirt. I will make it killer cool, I [...]
Time to see that pose with Stu Barnes underneath. Brad Richards (and Johan Holmqvist) to the Dallas Stars for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen, and Jeff Halpern. The deal is done, and I love the move. They kept the fishsticks, and now Stu has his sights set straight on the heart of the Cup.
Word.
That was the scene to greet the day. Such fragile beauty, so exquisitely temporary.
Life is like that. Our brains may try to convince us that our ideas and ephemera are important and eternal, but we are really just temporary conglomerates of energy.
Except in our imaginations. The deep detail of our delusions allows a sort of [...]
If you have not seen the film Once, you are in for a treat. Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard won an Oscar for the song “Falling Slowly” tonight, and I am still pinching myself to wake up. It was an underdog victory of epic proportions, and their speeches were transcendant. Very exciting times, these [...]
Our little Shadowcat really did deserve the big trophy tonight, and Juno was by far the Best Picture of 2008 for us. Diablo Cody’s dialogue sounds like something directly out of our heads, and Ellen Page delivered the bitterly aware effervescence of our subcultural quirks with dizzying precision. It is as if someone finally turned over the [...]
I feel like a superhero myself sometimes. The evil plans of Gravity and Inertia will not deny my mission; I will write today about the Infinates. (I must get finished before the Oscars.) Now, if I can only get this Ballot Manipulation Ring to make sure Kitty Pryde wins Best Actress. Of course Best Picture would be nice [...]
We are toying around with the photographs from the talent show in class today, and I thought I would drop a couple of them here for your amusement. They are Photoshopped with the Plastic Wrap filter, after increasing Contrast and Saturation. Enjoy!
“If you go after the storm in this small town in Estonia, you’ll catch yourself thinking that you’ve got into a fairy tail.”
That is the actual quote. There are more great photographs too. What a beautiful way to start my Friday. Mad thanks to www.neatorama.com for keeping track of stuff like that.
My Crowd Control duties [...]
I don’t have as much time for this as I would like, we have a talent show at school today and I was assigned the duty of “Crowd Control”. Yes, it actually says that on the memo, with the capital letters. I will do my best.
I am an oxymoron. I have always known it, and [...]
