  • Wow, the titles on these Third posts are kinda freaking me out... it's almost over. :|
  • I've been listening to Björk's Hyperballad (- Post (1995)) quite a lot lately. I love the song so much. I think it perfectly embodies what the Buddhists term joyful participation in the sorrows of the world. It's a beautiful blend of light and dark; at once depressing and uplifting. And the music video is one of those rare pieces that mirrors the soul of the source material. Hands down one of Michel Gondry's best videos.
  • After listening to John C. Dvorak on No Agenda I've fallen into watching the latest season of the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares, or Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares as it's known across the pond. I've always loved the US version but damn is the UK version so much better. Most importantly it's uncensored. I don't need expletives... I just need honesty. I hate all the hand-holding going on in America, it's really getting bad (actually it's been bad for a very long time but it's getting worse). I hate what passes as natural conversation amongst adults in the media, it's all so fake. We want truth, honesty and authenticity!
  • The most depressing thing happened yesterday. My local Starbucks failed me. :( My venti zebra was horribly under par. It was bathwater. It was casual sex in the backseat of a car. It just wasn't what it's always been... which is transcendental. No fireworks last night. :| But I find espressos to be much like pizza in this regard, it's always good on some level... I did drink it after all. *shrug*
  • The latest trailers for The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull look pretty kick ass. Oh my god, Cate Blanchett and that accent?... that's my undoing... I don't think I've ever been more attracted to a human being in my life! :P :D
  • I was enligthened the other day to find out that my favorite TV shows are in fact consultancy shows. There's Kitchen Nightmares, What Not To Wear and Project Runway, all of which are based on experts in their fields judging and mentoring challenged clients. It's only natural I suppose, it's always compelling to watch someone at the top of their game do what they do best. How could I not eat it up?
  • Ah! Almost forgot... I'm over the moon about my new favorite iPhone/iPod touch web app for Twitter, Hahlo. The user interface is insane! :D I'm in love. There're a few things that could use some tweaking but overall it's pretty killer. It's good enough that it replaced PocketTweets as my go-to Twitter client on Narcissus (my iPod touch), I think that alone speaks quite highly of the app. Also, sweet logo. ;) I'm a whore for good design. :P
  • Okay I need to go and consume some more media, you go do the same. ;)
  • Goodnight my fellow digital gluttons. :)

DS333, chomping.
