Notebook

I don't know what the mail woman has against Martha Stewart, but for some reason, all of my Martha Stewart Living issues keep coming looking as if they've been mauled by a grizzly bear.

I still do not understand that stupid "genius" feature on the new iTunes. And it takes forever to update itself.

I don't know what bugs me more, how uncomfortable Hilary Duff looks when she's trying to be sexy or the fact that her new video seems to be a complete rip off of photography by Ryan McGinley and Juergen Teller.

A guy on the bus today asked me whether I would be voting for Obama or Bush. That is not a typo. When I told him Obama, he told me he thought I looked like a Bush voter. What??

Over the weekend, I went to the galleries in Chelsea with Katrina. The show that impressed me the most was probably Olaf Breuning's. His simple drawings on 8.5x11 paper are pretty cute and hilarious. Click here.

Is it just me or are John McCain and Benjamin Button totally separated at birth?

The work of New York City artist/vandal "Poster Boy" is pretty hilarious. I especially love this one and this one. (Via New York Magazine.)

I hate it when people make their Facebooks private so I can't secretly stalk them and look at their pictures. What ever are Facebook and MySpace for if not for spying on people? That being said.... I'm pretty sure that my profile is set to private.

RIP, my pretty red bike. I walked outside to ride my bike today only to find that somebody had evidently cut through the lock and taken it away.

So Michelle Trachtenberg came into my work the other day. I was seriously about to grovel at her feet and tell her that "ohmyggooood Harriet The Spy is like, my favorite movie EVER ILOVEYOU!!!" But I didn't. I did sell her some candles, though.

Having nothing at all to do during the day is really not good for me. I started experimenting with cutting my own hair. And now my bangs are really short. I need to get a job.

So, remember the spoof ads I made back in 2004 for The Society for The Protection of Plants? WELL, the arbitrary "murder" of plants has been just been deemed morally wrong, according to an ethics panel from the Swiss government. Click here to read about it.

I just redesigned my portfolio website. It's still super basic, but now it doesn't have that annoying Flickr slideshow. Click here to see it.

I haven't done laundry in over two weeks. This means that I have had to use towels more than once. To me, that is pretty much equivalent to rolling around in a pile of dead rats to dry myself.

Everything is classier in France. Even, apparently, Playboy.
