After reading this article from Discover Magazine about the dangers of drinking milk, I've decided to go dairy-free. This means no cheese, which will be really difficult for me. Also, my ice cream intake will be limited to sorbet, which won't be so bad. Duane also sent me this Milk Sucks page from our friends at PETA. I'm already converted to soy milk, so maybe it won't be as hard as I think. We went to see Bittersweet Motel last night, the documentary about Phish, shot in 1997 to 1998. It was a great film; watching the guys talk about the music itself was the best part. Especially when Trey talks about music as sex, comparing his enjoyment to Arnold in Pumping Iron. I don't know why I thought of this old cartoon I used to watch: Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse. For the ultimate is corporate stupidity, take a look at Fucked Company (thanks Mike). If you don't laugh, you'll cry instead. I'VE BEEN HAD! I fell for this last month, I think. Now Memepool tells me it's a cheesy ad for Lee Jeans! I apologize to all the Fava readers for this. Stupid ad agency! I hate those guys. They did the hugely unpopular "Dick" ads for Miller beer a few years ago, too. Here's another example of their genius. You can't trust the honesty of internet dumbasses anymore. The moral of this story is that pickup trucks cannot be traded for oral sex. File under Eggers: McSweeneys will be publishing its own books from now on. Are they the Napster of the book industry? Could be interesting. Paul the dancing fool gets funky! Please check this out.

Please read this hysterical review of "Hollow Man." Another movie review (not hysterical, just timely) of Bittersweet Motel: NY Times. The Phish movie, Bittersweet Motel is playing tomorrow night at Cinema Village on 12th street. The Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics. Did you ever wonder about those old Atlas Missile Silos that were built during the arms race? Well, now people live in them. Want to buy one? Sometimes working for an internet company can really stink. Today they moved my into my own cube. I hate it! Beige, beige everywhere, and not a smiling face to be found. Guys, pay attention: please take the proper steps to have better-tasting semen! (Thanks to Joshua) Boxlor makes his way through the world. Very reminiscent of Robot Frank, who we met on July 21st.... New look today. Do you like it? Tell me about it. There's a great short film on the web called 405. I urge everyone to watch it. It shows the beauty of independent filmmakers when they are computer savvy. This guy thinks that news anchors are watching him through his telly. Not only that, they are laughing at him. My my. Frank and funny movie reviews: Dumbass and the Fag. Due to popular demand, here are pages devoted to the classiest "hairstyle" around: The Mullet. Mullets Galore - this might be the original site. It looks it. Mullet Gods. Mullet Junky. When the Mullet Hits the Bone - great name, more of the same. Mullet Frenzy for more scientific treatment of the topic. Mullet Madness - witness the great opening page. The buzz of interest has risen to a fever pitch! Now read the book! So we went to the Prospect Park concert (Doughty and TMBG), as promised. Doughty was a bit of a dick, although pretty good, and watching TMBG only reminded us why we never really liked them in the first place. But we managed to drink ourselves into a spectacle, and we all had a good time. Plus, Doonie was in town, and it was great to see him. Doonie: sorry we left early, but I felt my luck had run out for the evening. Please don't bomb the library. Jerry Garcia is NOT a garden gnome. Don't murder me! Some local history: Typhoid Mary was banished to North Brother Island in 1907. This is what the hospital looked like more recently. The Unofficial NYC Subway Site is way more interesting that the official site. There might be people who want to wear their computers. Those people can shop at Philips Electronics for their fashion needs. Don't forget your aluminium foil hat to combat unwanted mind control. Just one more Eggers link, please?!? This time it's with Harry Potter. Wouldn't you be flattered if your students created a database of your T-shirts? Two takes on acupuncture: Salon and acupuncture.com. Those itsy bitsy needles.... Poster Nation asks if there is really a difference between Bush and Gore. Boston College studies narcissism. Go and eat a hologram. Got problems? Why not ask Satan for some advice? Get some customized footwear at Creo or Customatix. Pretty cool! Yet another David Eggers link, especially for Joshua! Ladies: email this guy if you're into very successful, very pathetic men. The only item for today: If you've never followed a link of mine, I strongly urge you to follow this one - Word Perhect. Click on the rotating cubes to launch the application. It's just masterful. I'm serious. I feel blessed to have found it. Take a tour of the most beautiful waterway in Brooklyn: the Gowanus Canal. The operator of the bridges above the Canal is known as the Chicken Man. Awesome, trippy toy: Flight 404. Check the nutritional information on your favorite candy. Isn't it ironic? Actually, it's not. More Japanese interpersonal relationship weirdness. Worship at the Church of the SubGenius. Praise Bob! Today's forecast: pea soup. We had one nice day this weekend, and now we're back to the ugly humids. Here's a site for long-term forecasts, but I think it's just about as accurate as the Old Farmer's Almanac. Kevin Smith's website features the comic book, "The Adventures of Bluntman and Chronic." Long time mystery solved: that cute puppet headbanging movie is Flat Eric. The search continues for better answers to the question: What if there is no toilet to sit on?

Also, Wild Roses makes the P-System clothing line, with special zippers in strategic places. |
