Some TMNT to go with the Krang I did a while back. I am addicted to the craft of paperfoldables, it's actually a problem. I need more work to avoid making them.

"Futurama" has new future on Comedy Central"

Taking a page from the "Family Guy" resurrection guidebook, the canceled Fox animated comedy is returning with an order from Comedy Central for 26 new episodes to run over two seasons.

"Futurama" creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen already are working on stories for the new batch of episodes of the sci-fi cartoon, slated to premiere on Comedy Central in mid-2010.

Recently went home to fish and flounder and frolic with friends and family. Home is Brockville, lower Ottawa Valley area. Unfortunately, around there, everything is a half-hour/20 minutes away, (Prescott, Addison, Frankville, gas stations)  making a car a necessity. I wanted a little econo/compacty thing, like a Suzuki Swift. Somehow, I ended up with a new Dodge Charger. By The Maker, it ruled! It was also hard on gas, it's a 6 cylinder, but still, it was just for a week. 

I sort of missed out on the whole driving thing, so getting to drive this around for a week was a real treat. I'm not a car guy, but I know what I like.

Also, there were guns.

clicky to see bang bang

Don't worry; responsible gun handling was utilized. We only shot at night :)

I had a great time, and can't wait to go back. Maybe actually catch some fish, instead of just fishing.

Made a paper Krang, of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame. See more photos here. Yes, I am an adult. No, I have nothing better to do. Even if I was a paramedic, I assure you this was *far* more important.

BRUSSELS -- The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.

A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.

"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman said Monday.

Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.

Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."

During testing of bodybuilding events last year, doping authorities of northern Belgium's Flanders region found that three-quarters of the competitors tested positive.

Got this in the mail during last election time. Click to read the back.

Mastadon "Crack the Skye": This album rocks. I wish I could see these guys live. Divinations & Quintessence are my 2 big fave-favorite songs right now, and Crack the Skye is just a wicked record, with a great story (the actual theme & bakc story of recording). Similar toTool. If you haven't heard them, you're missing out. 

Kelly Clarkson "All I ever Wanted": America's favorite guilty pleasure's new album is pretty awesome. Her SNL performance was kind of weak, but that whole stage sucks (when CanWest isn't interrupting it for commercials. Go bankrupt, already). "My Life Would Suck Without You" is going to be on my playlist for a while.

Bat For Lashes: Saw her/them on David Letterman the other night. I just listen to their site's player, but I'll get the album soon. Her performance on the show was ike the actual track, verbatim, in a good way. No pauses, no listening to her breathe, just awesome. "Daniel" is a beautiful, haunting song.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs "It's Blitz!": It's a grower. I'm sort of medium on it, the acoustic tracks are nice but a little slow. I like Metric's new album more for rocking right now. Still awesome, there's a lot there to love.

Kate Bush: I haven't listened to her, I have no idea what she sounds like. Guess I should give that a shot.

Written by a creative director:

"- I can't find your phone number or your email address.  You've sold me.  I want to meet you.  I want to let you know I want to meet you before my phone rings, or someone walks into my office, or my calendar blurts a reminder that I have a meeting in 5 minutes.  Whatever page I'm on, I want to hit a link to your email address, I want to send you an email, and go to my meeting.  Yes, that's how it happens."

What the fuck...

Everything tastes better on a Ritz, especially passion, baby.

A while ago, Pow Hiryoo-san (Paul Hillier to us round-eyes), an ESL teacher in Jap'n, sent Hobohouse a box. In this box were things we westerners would consider indecent, immoral, and decadent beyond imagination. Apple-flavored Kit Kats?! Little girl underwear catalogs? Key chains that play old school video game noises? Not just a mid-fellatio fantasy fantasy anymore. It's everyday life, in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Terrifying. I know. Courage, my love.

PS Not yet pictured are all the cool 1-sheets of movie posters, from Japanese magazines (You can see Wall-E, which is beautiful. But there are more). The Dark Knight one is probably the best of the bunch, but I'm partial to the Speed Racer one. Anyway, those I must properly scan.
