Living Under a Rock…With a Dehumidifier!

The Sleeper family lives 45 ft below a forest, in the pit of a 1930s sandstone mine near the Mississippi River. 

It took 5 years for the home to be constructed. And while the family waited the live in the cave, they were living in tents. 

They had to build a ceiling over the kitchen in order to insure that sad didn’t get into their food.

A section of the house was used as an ice skating rink in the 1950s. but is now used as a room for their kids to use their skateboards. Just skateboarding in your cave…waiting for the laundry to finish. No big deal.

I always say how much i want to crawl up under a rock and die. I think I found the perfect rock. 

I bet that horn sounds as crisp as my sarcasm would if I were to say something like

“I bet that sounds amazing, in that open space”

 

Tako.

Thumbs Will Twist. Can You Resist?…Thumb Hang

The Story of Anvil was an amazing documentary that I recently saw.

Recently, Anvil has been touring around playing a show in some of the theaters that are showing the movie, directly after. 

I saw the show last year in the cafe’ of a theater in Brooklyn. Despite not seeing the movie or fully understanding why the history of that band was so interesting, something about the Canadian trio was intriguing enough to feel that to leave before the set had ended would be a disservice. 

I got to see them again the other week, in the pit of the theater where I saw the movie 10 minutes previous to it. The crowd was much larger and excited than they were even just last year. The band played with as much dedication as they ever have. My friend and I banged heads and summoned the gods….in the middle of the theater. It was awesome. 

The individuals that make the band Anvil really understand life to an extent that so many people born with luck, just never will. They play music with the same passion that they always have. They find inspiration off of each other. They hold down real jobs, tour Europe, an go back to their lives full of discouragement for what they love to do from everyone including their friends and family.  

So why do they keep doing it? In hopes that their day will come. That an album of theirs will be recognized for being worth something, the same way Metal on Metal was, way back when. And while they wait for this to happen, they have become content with even the smallest of success’s they encounter and use it to motivate them forward. 

Basically, they don’t take advantage of anything. They love their fans. They love their idols. They love themselves. and they understand that when you aren’t born with luck, and things don’t fall into your lap, that its ok to take baby steps to get to where you want to be. 

Anvil does have a following of fans who really want things to work out for them. Myself included. Because the musics not bad, their heart is in the right place, and the only reason they didn’t really get their full 15 minutes is because they did everything right. Never trying to fuck anyone over, through their entire career.

Your Galaxy Looks So Vintage.

While searching through a website with the saddest layout I’ve seen since I taught myself HTML through a Angelfire page, I found some pretty rad Steampunk Star Trek wall papers.

Thank god! Cause I’m so sick of looking at Joshs stupid ugly face.

New iPhone was announced… 

Dear Tampax, Get Inspired.

A fancy little restaurant in Istanbul had the crafty little idea of having cut outs of activities that involved people hanging from strings, used on the ends of their tea bags.

By activities, I guess its important to mention that this means sport-like ones. Lets not be morbid. 

Jungle Bunnies!

I’m lookin’ to borrow $42,500.00 anyone…..anyone….anyone?

While looking for a cheaper version of this book that will soon be replacing the headboard of my bed, (the book is fucking huge) Ebay teased my fragile heart with this original hand painted 18×22 1903 Jungle Imps print by Windsor McCay. 

“Who are the Jungle Imps?” you may ask.

Let me enlighten you!

Windsor McCay is best known for his series of Little Nemo comics that ran  mainly between 1905 and 1914. From there, his fame flourished and he kind of became the Darwin of animation. But previous to all of this, in 1903, he drew a series of 43  strips called “Tales of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle.” They was only published for the Cincinnati Enquirer to illustrate the poems of Enquirers editor George Randolph Chester. 

He used these illustrations as a prototype for his brightly colored art nouveau-ish comic strip styling that was later made famous though Little Nemo. 

The Imps themselves, are three main jungle uh…creatures….that pester and annoy animals. In this particular one, they kicked and teased and hung a snake for its ascetic differences. Things go full circle, I guess.

You’re not dying, you just can’t think of anything good to do.

“The place is like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything.”

Camerons house is for sale!

I’m glad to see they got that window fixed before they put it on the market.

I’d be interested to see the floor plan for this place. I guess it would be an easier thing to obtain if I had the 2.3 million showing that I was interested in buying the place.

ooooooh yeeaaaah

The 4 bedroom Highland Park, Illinois home was designed by architects A. James Speyer and David Haid and built in 1953.

Some little things about Farris Bueller’s Day Off that you may not have known:

• Cameron’s father’s Ferrari wasn’t a real Ferrari. Because it was too expensive to rent one, they made three fake ones with a fiberglass body.
• When the Ferrari crashed, the fiberglass hood ripped, but branches were put over the rip to make sure the camera didn’t record it.
• The 1961 Ferrari GT250was a modified MG sports car. The producers received several angry letters from car enthusiasts who believed the car shown was a real Ferrari and that it was actually wrecked in the film.
• To produce the desired drugged-out effect for his role as the drug addict in the police station, Charlie Sheen stayed awake for more than 48 hours before the scene was shot.
• Most of the license plates are all abbreviations for titles of films by John Hughes. Katie’s = VCTN (National Lampoon’s Vacation); Jeannie’s = TBC (The Breakfast Club); Tom’s = MMOM (Mr. Mom); Rooney’s = 4FBDO (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ).
• The exception is Cameron’s Ferrari (seen when Ferris first pulls out of the garage), the license plate of which reads NRVOUS.
• Originally, Ferris was supposed to say to a radio show, that before he dies he wanted to ride the space shuttle. Due to the Challenger accident, this was removed from the movie.
• Whenever Mr. Rooney and Ferris have a conversation with each other, only one of them speaks throughout the entire conversation; the other is completely silent.
• The hall scenes in which you see Jeanie walking down the hall and kid collecting money to save Ferris are the halls from The Breakfast Club
• Ferris laments not having his own car, but does at least own a synthesizer (an E-MU Emulator II) which cost $8,000 in 1984.
• John Hughes wrote the script in six days.
• He can be seen in a tiny cameo in one of the early Chicago downtown montage sequences, climbing literally across traffic, from right to left of screen, wearing a light blue jacket and big ‘eighties hairdo’

thanks IMDB!

Math not Mouse

Yeah. I’ve slept on it and decided that I’m pretty excited for this DS release.

I just need to think of  math and not Mikey Mouse. I hate that damn rodent.

Refreshing.

My friend Devin says I don’t update enough.
I told him he has to click ‘refresh’ more often.
This update is like pouring one for my homies.

Well Heres Something New

Lily Allens boob came out to say hi again.

What I love most about the article on it, is that this fact seems almost secondary to other useless facts about things that you can obviously see in this photo.

Like her very sleek bob! OMG!

Plane n’ Simple

I made a post yesterday from my phone, but it appears to have disappeared completely. 

Not in a draft folder or anything.

I was going to bitch and complain about it, but there are larger things disappearing in the world right now. 

What is going on? Is this an episode of the Twilight Zone? 

A promotion for that damn Debbie Gibson movie?!

To be honest, this is a unbelievably sad, horrifying, and depressing story. Can you imagine being at the gate waiting for a family member to arrive from a plane that is just ‘lost’? 

This is the first year where I actualy don’t feel safe getting on a plane. There’s so many accidents recently.

More-bed Girls

There is just an endless amount of topless girls in bed. So consider this chapter two…
