Happy Holidays

xMas = think merry

Where I do all of my best thinking

I know I’ve told several of you that I’ve been busy remodeling a bathroom lately. In most cases, that was a legitimate excuse, not just some lame reason to get out of helping you wash your dog or fix your computer.

Want proof? Here are some pics of the swankiest pissoir in my house.

The crapper in May of 02.

After:
From the door looking in

The sink area

The overly melty fung shui candles

Da tub

Sorry I was too lazy to break out the wide-angle lens so the room didn’t look overly small … there was just no way I wanted to develop film or bring in lights so I could get a decent exposure.

He’s got 99 problems

But unemployment ain’t one.

If ever there were a rapper who could run a record label well, I’ll bet my boots it’s Jay-Z.

And yesterday he was named the new president of Def Jam.

Smells Like Teen Commerce

Check out the story at this link.

Yes, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic recently auctioned himself off on eBay.

Here’s what I find funny about it:

  1. Somebody was willing to pay money to hang out with arguably the most useless musician of the Grunge Era. (Remember, this is the guy who dropped his own bass on his head at the MTV Video Music Awards.)
  2. Somebody was not only willing to pay for this … but willing to pay $7300.
  3. This certain somebody was willing to pay $7300 to have Krist Novoselic personally fly the two of them around in his Cessna. Again, this is the guy who dropped his own bass on his head. I don’t think I’d set foot in a plane piloted by the guy.
  4. This certain somebody was willing to sign a waiver of liability should said bassist drop the plane on said somebody’s head.
