– Office Christ­mas par­ties are on the hori­zon, so take this cau­tion­ary tale to heart: Alana Bechiom filed a law­suit last week in Los Ange­les Supe­ri­or Court over a Christ­mas par­ty that went very side­ways last year at a San Pedro, Cal­i­for­nia, Taco Bell, where she worked at the time. KTLA-TV report­ed that Bechiom’s man­ag­er invit­ed her to the potluck staff par­ty, and Bechiom brought a bowl of gua­camole. When she arrived, she said, she real­ized her man­ag­er had “cov­ered the win­dows of the restau­rant with wrap­ping paper” and had cov­ered the lob­by cam­eras. She not­ed that the super­vi­sor had pro­vid­ed alco­hol and some staffers were “over­served.” After step­ping out­side for a moment late in the evening, Bechiom returned to find a co-work­er “hav­ing sex with his wife in front of every­one at the par­ty”; the wife was also kiss­ing the man­ag­er and anoth­er female co-work­er. Bechiom said she ran out of the restau­rant but went back in to get her gua­camole bowl, where she found the man­ag­er and co-work­er vom­it­ing, one in her bowl. Bechiom report­ed the inci­dent to Taco …

life on the line

it’s black fri­day + cyber mon­day and nat­u­ral­ly peo­ple are excit­ed for what­ev­er rea­son to buy shit they don’t real­ly need. the thirst for rel­e­van­cy is parched in peo­ple’s con­sumerist souls. where­as they’re reduced to being lit­tle more than con­stant lust for the fruits of mate­ri­al­ism.  which only increas­es their con­stant greed. don’t get me wrong here I’ve expe­ri­enced it myself. at times I’ll be in midst of a project and sud­den­ly! quite spon­ta­neous­ly my inner voice be like those damned nunchucks of yours are get­ting old. then I’ll self cor­rect because I have a his­to­ry with these nunchucks. I actu­al­ly used them to kick the crap out of some punks once in Chica­go. or, per­haps more inces­sant­ly (and: insis­tent­ly) my voice says: that com­put­er is so damned old it’s time to donate it to one of your annoy­ing rel­a­tives and pur­chase a new one! but then I stop myself: self, I just bought this last month! Who do you take me for, an Apple cultist? (aka suck­er, sucker­butt). I bought myself a Japan­ese note­book off of Ama­zon yes­ter­day. Econ­o­my is stim­u­lat­ed I’m sure. With …

The Batman

my review of: the Bat­man. don’t wor­ry this won’t be long, and nowhere near as excru­ci­at­ing­ly long (or dull) of yet anoth­er install­ment of the caped cru­sad­er. Like Spi­der­man 🕷they (the CGI porn direc­tors) can’t: get it right get it good get it per­fect get it did with the actu­al fans in mind let me guess anoth­er reboot will hap­pen in 2 – 3 years tops the only good aspects of this movie is that it did­n’t have George Klooney, Val Kilmer, or oth­er very non-bat­­man­ish actors in it. George Klooney sound­ed like a total retard dur­ing his stint as the dark knight (lolz real­ly he did). so dur­ing the fes­tive week I caught this. hav­ing to fast for­ward some parts b/​​c it was so damned lethar­gi­cal­ly long. the feel­ing of this whole film: lets be depressed about being depressed. we’re in this stu­pid movie how depress­ing! I was briefly sent back in time to the good ole new wave era (now called ’emo’ which I hate). where all my friends who dressed pre­dictably black liked being sad about noth­ing par­tic­u­lar. maybe because they were sin­gle, poor, …

The Killer

I watched this recent­ly: It was once an actu­al flash based graph­ic nov­el and a French one at that. then became an actu­al graph­ic nov­el which the flash web­site was based and final­ly a lim­it­ed edi­tion movie straight to Net­flix. I like Mag­ne­to aka Michael Fass­ben­der.  he some­times comes across as too seri­ous that it’s pret­ty unin­ten­tion­al­ly comedic. like are you going to stare holes through my soul or some shit? Lolz. Well its rare (actu­al­ly: nev­er) that David Finch­er does action. so you can bank on it being an art­house action flick (which it is). it’s visu­al­ly gor­geous you actu­al­ly do feel like you’re in Paris or oth­er parts of the world through­out. so there’s that. what makes this com­pelling and watch wor­thy is it puts you in the pilots seat. You become an assas­sin and you get a feel and taste of what that is actu­al­ly like. And its not like the Tom Cruise inter­pre­ta­tion of it in Col­lat­er­al (though that movie was one of the few of his I actu­al­ly did like). The sus­pen­sion of belief …

blank canvas

my sec­ond post here. the blank can­vas lies before me, or the blank page if you’re a writer (like myself). it could be ter­ri­fy­ing for some but that’s only because of pas­sion, excite­ment, and adven­ture. art isn’t hard, nei­ther is writ­ing. we just make it thus. we want these oft addic­tive hob­bies to be more than they actu­al­ly are (or aren’t?). I have a unpop­u­lar opinion(s) yo: art isn’t love art isn’t life art isn’t reli­gion art does­n’t solve prob­lems, but it can (it can make you $$) it can instill pas­sion, but isn’t pas­sion it can stim­u­late con­ver­sa­tion, but isn’t con­ver­sa­tion its eas­i­er than some might think, and even eas­i­er than what the mul­ti­tudes already do Picas­so once said: he spent a life­time to learn to cre­ate art as a child does read these books: the Art Life, Art & Fear, and the Artist’s Life. And in no par­tic­u­lar order if you’re a human being, you are art. but this isn’t about art I just want­ed to plug this in. I’m think­ing about what to write about nowa­days. I have plen­ty and I have none. despite what peo­ple and …
