Floating Island Drink n Draw 042710
Have you seen this? It's a viral campaign for an upcoming Pixar film. I really love the idea of "invented histories" in pop culture, referencing toys and bands and films that never actually happened, but seem like they could have. Combine that with my taste for all sorts of 80's memorabilia, and that makes this a slam dunk for me. The account was even set up a month or so in advance, posting video of items that actually DID exist, so points for planning and attention to detail.
Anyway. It's raining! It's Tuesday. It's Drink n Draw. You coming?

Drink n Draw 042010
Wow it's late! Yet I for some reason feel a superstitious compulsion to churn out this announcement before the day is over. What would happen if I failed to send this thing? Do I get seven years bad luck? Does the world fall into glorious anarchy like two star-crossed lovers and one double-decker bus running towards a passionate embrace? Does the entire universe collapse, fold down into nth space, and unfold again creating a parallel universe which is almost exactly identical to this one, except that the announcement actually does go out? Did that actually just happen right now?
To quote a famous thinker: "My robot brain needs beer."

April 13, 2010 Drink n Draw
Holy crap, it's mid-April already? That caught me by surprise. I'm a bit too time-crunched for wit, today. But not for beer! And I am looking forward to busting out the scratch pad and continuing my quest to write lurid prose that makes me look brilliant and creative, as opposed to criminally insane. Well, I'll settle for an even balance there, actually. And I'm looking forward to seeing all of you!This week's header image courtesy of the Gorillaz, who are continuing to be awesome. Please support their efforts by remaining awesome yourselves! See you in the evening.

Today is April 6th, and you obviously know what that means. It's Chakri Day, on which we celebrate the founding of Bangkok! Also known as King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke the Great Day, which is way classier.
It is also Tartan Day, on which we celebrate the Declaration of Arbroath
by speaking in atrociously
poor Scottish accents and calling kilts 'skirts.' At least, that's how
it was explained to me. My sources have been chosen for their
impeccable entertainment value rather than their accuracy, which may
result in some misleading information here and there. I mean, what
would you rather be, funny or right?
Also, it's Drink n Draw night. Giddyup.
