Las Vegas: Don’t feed the homeless Nigel say, don’t feed the Vegas.

excerpts:"Soup kitchens serving the homeless have been banned in the US city of Las Vegas with fines coming into force for anyone caught giving hand-outs in its parks….with possible fines of $1,000 and six months imprisonment, after complaints from residents…..Officials said the ban was not aimed at casual handouts from Good Samaritans, the newspaper reported, but at so-called "mobile soup kitchens"…It was devised after residents complained that the large numbers of people gathering to use such services make it impossible for other residents to use the parks, city spokesman David Riggleman said."

hallejuah, i mean, thank GOD we can go back to using our parks again, holy fucking shit, Billy and i wanted to play catch, but g-dammitthere was this group of….peop-le who looked like vagrants gathered around a truck, i was scared, billy, the little trooper still wanted to play catch. VAGRANTS!

King of Beers, King of the Jews
Apparently Mel Gibson will spike your white russian for information, or throw a coffee cup at your head, whichever Big Leibowski scene works.

"Once inside the car Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I’m going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he ‘owns Malibu’ and will spend all of his money to ‘get even’ with me….The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?""

nonononono, passion of the christ wasn’t about hating jews at all, no no no, really i swear.

you can always tell when i’m job and school less, posting goes way ^, despite what i said about not posting here as frequently, this is just one of those things.

when modern art and nigel combine, they form…..voltron!:

close up of the "poster" in back:

inspired by hamilton’s just what is it that makes today’s homes…. there’s a big ol story behind it, which i won’t go into, nor my reasoning, but yeah, it encompasses as much modern art history as i could find and fit, with my own commentary. huzzah. oh, and we did cover sherman, kruger, basquiat, haring et al, even mueck and richter, good class.

thanks a lot al gore, thanks a fuckton. i was all ready to say that this fucking heat was an aberration, that there’s no way california would sustain this kind of humidity….but nooooo, you had to go and do the most AMAZiNG thing ever annd promote your new movie by ACTUALLY somehow changing the weather. fuck you gore, i mean that, that’s a shitty way to get people into an overair-conditioned theater to watch your lecture-movie.

and the good news is….it’s not going away. we’re going to be getting indian style daily monsoons, like more than just january.
All long-range models conclude that California’s temperatures will warm on the average of 3 to 6 degrees. Meaning, a current average temperature of 50 degrees (high and low temperatures averaged together) would warm to between 53 and 56 degrees. That in and of itself means little without folding out data into average high and low temperature plan at the regional level. For a city with an average high and low of 60 and 40, the temperature could change to 76 and 36 in a drier climate or 66 and 46 in a moist environment.

California has numerous microclimates. Depending upon inland temperatures and cooler Pacific Ocean temperatures, the future of California’s onshore flow hangs in the balance. Many of California’s microclimates are in place due to existing climate trends and the availability or absence of the onshore flow. As these trends change, the microclimates will evolve accordingly. They could simply disappear. The Pacific Ocean currents are dependent upon salinity levels and temperature, as well as northern latitudinal ice melt. An increase in salinity levels and warmer water temperatures could lead to permanent waning of the onshore flow, warming coastline temperatures, and a increasing the monsoon influence in southern California during summer months.

forget all that "could" stuff, it’s already happening, this is just for cali, not to even begin to mention the fucking week of no power in queens (that must be AWESOME) or people dying all over. here in LA desert plants are growing and budding bigger, faster, and worst of all earlier. and cali and the entire southwest is not exactly terrained to handle large amounts of flowing water, all the dirt will run off and WE WILL FIND THE GOLD UNDERNEATH THE GROUND…and then after we mine that up, the monsters come up. all thanks to you al gore. you don’t even get capitalized.

you know what? fuck it. in honor of mr. i-founded-tha-innanets, i’m gonna go fly a kite in this million degree weather.

in my underwear. like that girl in the picture. except she’s not flying the kite. she’s just standing there like a doofus waiting for al gore to sweep her off her feet. i’d be on the other end of the string, trying to stab her in the head with my flying cursor.

hyah!

and then i’m gonna go have to go fix my innanets, since it’s only a series of tubes

all this heat has probably busted up something.

damn you al gore.

my dog is awesome, he has a 4 second attention span. in fact, he forgot he had to take a shit. the details aren’t important, but just know that by the time he found a suitable spot to defecate on (a mathematical theory which really needs to be worked out by John Nash), he completely forgot why he was in that spot, and looked around confused. maybe he just has alzheimer’s.

but speaking of SAS, or maybe even alzheimers, did you know 30% of america’s internet users have a myspace? as ni@@aknow might say, that’s a lot of underage breezies. true, the question is something of a non-sequiter, but you know that most myspace users [INSERT BASELESS YET COMPLETELY TRUE MYSPACE GENERALIZATION HERE]. seriously, myspace has very few people who read anything longer than 2 sentances, which is why i’m considering putting a whole bunch of crap in my "about me" section and see if anyone EVAR catches on…hell half the literate people i know read anything longer than 2 sentances (i’m not holding out much hope for this post)…but really there’s a lot of stuff at play there in america’s favorite wasteland, or i like to call it, "tha innanets ghetto".

Tom Anderson, better known as "Tom" or Mr Andersssson (wait, now i get it, "Neo" rearranged spells "One", the entire trilogy makes sense now…), got fired from his marketing job at XDrive for working on his porn site, something like that, it involved porn and marketing and firings. Tom’s only the public face of myspace, he’s got another partner who got fired along with him from xdrive (though this time it’s the entire marketing newsletter department) who’s the ceo of the whole myspace shebang. after getting fired they started a newsletter, with their old company’s mailing list, that looked almost exactly like their old company’s newsletter. this newsletter is eventually bought up by intermix…hmmm, myspace founded by two marketing guys who worked for a company best known for spyware, dabbled in porn, and stole ideas? nooooooo, not myspace, no way.

anyway, it’s pretty interesting once you go into it, they’ve already made their money, so it doesn’t really matter anyway. this is all just a quick rehash of tyler walicek’s look into the company, which in turn was smaller rehash of another website’s findings, but now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

woah, did anyone else notice that imdb now has pretty thumbnail peektures next to cast members names? crazy, it’s like when mcdonalds started putting the pictures on their cash registers, kinda

Here it is, the relaunch…or to put it in Hollywood terms, "THE RELAUNCH: the reckoning".

nothing too big, mostly got rid of the frames, which achieved what i wanted, but with css around, there’s no need for it. also changed the bar around some, which you can see. i’ll get around to explaining/commenting on the changes soon, but for now take a look around, added a bunch of photography (mostly in the los angeles section) a lot of new artwork, and other stuff. and if this is your first time here, enjoy, there’s all kinds of good stuff going on.
