This is what my life is like.

"The trouble with girls is, if they like a boy, no matter how big a bastard he is, they'll say he has an inferiority compex, and if they don't like him, no matter how nice a guy he is, or how big an inferiority complex he has, they'll say he's conceited. Even smart girls do it (Salinger 136)."

My god. J.D. Salinger must have been my father.

PS, if you were linked here from my facebook status, you were probably able to solve the new cryptic status I put up. This one was an easy one, more encrypted statuses to come.

My life is just a bunch of build-ups and let-downs.
DISREGARD THAT, I GOT A 2300

Control Yourself!

I am sick of old music. Ever since my computer decided to die, I've been unable to update my iPod, and I've since descended from my near-hipster sense of taste to a bland almost Z-100 rock bottom, only listening to music on my iPod and every once and a while using Pandora to find some new bands and maybe stay a little hip.

As of now I am far from hip but on the rebound, though the music that I really have had access to has been that on fuse, pandora, and random local discoveries.

Anyway, my current favorite band is MGMT, a Brooklyn based electroclash duo who refesr to its music as "psychedelic-surf-jungle pop." This band is on a major record label (Interscope) and their song "Time to Pretend" is currently in the fuseTV top 10. However, my very favorite song of theirs is "Kids," a whiny but boppy piece of synthpop gold.
The video here is an unofficial one directed by some unknown music video director who makes videos for unsigned LA bands and who made this video to promote his business... I hope he makes it big, this video is awesome.

Also-
I want to meet the girl with the painted widows peak.

Kid Robot!

The new kidrobot store opened up in Manhattan, and though I have been unable to go, I plan on going soon. I love their clothing, but I cannot afford. However, I LOVE Munnys and Dunnys, and they're only $10. I want.

For those who do not know what a Dunny is, it's just a vinyl action figure shaped like a rabbit in which kidrobot hires artists to paint 3- or 8- inch ones to sell in their stores. They come in blind assorment, which means you don't know which doll you've got until you open the box.

Munnys are 7- or 3- inch white vynil dolls you can paint yourself that look like Monkeys.


Some of my favorite artists have painted Dunnys. For example, Dalek, my current favorite artist, did a whole set. For those of you who haven't heard of Dalek, you've probably seen his work- the space monkey from Tony Hawk Underground 2 is one of his creations :


He created a whole set of Dunnys for kidrobot. Here are some of them:






I want them. All of them.

So please, everyone, buy them for me. Buy me ANY Dunny. I don't care WHICH artist did them.

Thanks guys.

Standardized Tests...

I am happy to say that after two months, I have finally finished my English term paper. Though it may be the worse paper ever written, it certainly takes a load off my back. Now all I have to do is study for those SATs, another 2 days from now.
Some fancy words I've learned:

Garrulous-talkative
Abrogate-abolish
Deleterious-bad
Ephemeral-transient
Prosaic-dull
Lassitude-tiredness
Vainglorious-pompous
Hackneyed-trite
Effervescent-lively
Beseeching-imploring
Parsimonious-thrifty
Eulogy- praise
Intransigent-stubborn
Ebullient-thrilled by a victory
Perfidious-treacherous
Egregious-outstandingly bad

On another note, I take web design in school and I have to write a daily blog for it, so here's the link:

Don't worry reader(s), I'll update this one as often as usual.
