Vimeo vs. YouTube

I just learned today that Vimeo is the new YouTube.

So like Friendster was replaced by MySpace was replaced by Facebook - will everyone shift? Or is YouTube's hold too strong?! Stay tuned.

And enjoy this video sent by my friend Aaron. It's super cool!

HILARIOUS Journey Remake - Frame for Frame with Wigs!

This has been on youtube for months, but I just noticed when Bruce posted it on Facebook.

Super funny! Makes you miss the 80's and the art school + theatrics + overwrought drama videos had back then.

Note - the Steve Perry guy looks more like Josh Homme of "Queens of the Stone Age" than Perry, but the crunched mullet wig is priceless as is "The Flock of Seagulls" hair on the chick going her "Separate Ways" in white pumps and a tight skirt.

Rock Star/Rapper Extravagace Extravaganza

Funny article on the often ridiculous extravagances of rock stars and rappers.

David Lee Roth's purchase of paternity insurance 'cause of all his fooling around, however, was a wise choice. I'm surprised they insured him!

Obama the Rock Star

Wow. I've never seen anything like it. T-shirts, commemerative printing plates, lotteries to win tickets to the event, buttons, posters, parties, parades, people inviting strangers into their houses (via Obama's web site) to celebrate the inauguration.

It is definitely THEE rock event of the season.

Idealism floats in the air despite the economic crisis, people gush about change and have faith that it will happen. It's pretty incredible.

So president Obama (let's face it, Bush is the lamest of lame ducks) you have got A LOT to live up to and the country is counting on you. Here's hoping true change comes in the stodgy and corrupt and self serving political halls of power. I am a doubter, but I want to believe...

2009 so far...

Has been super non-productive. Like I've been sick and spent black holes of time on the internet studying Chinese medicine and mung bean soup recipes. Our apartment is starting to smell like my childhood neighbor Mr. Linke's house - he drove a VW bug and believed in healthy food and supplements in the 70's. I'll always remember his glass eye and that funky nutrious yeasty smell when you walked in his house. Memories last, but memories with scents last even longer. Mr. Linke was definitely ahead of his time. But, alas, I digress...

Now I have PLENTY of stories I want to tell - of the holidays (especially AJ and Alison's teacher stories, but I could never tell them as well as they do, oh yeah, and my brother's Tivo list - let's just say it's "gynormous"), the crazy girl in all Bebe clothing from my real estate classes who wore a beaded harem sheer scarf over her face to take the state exam (she's Hispanic, not Indian) was a story I meant to tell months ago and I still have roommate stories to finish for a friend of mine, but alas, I am a complete slug.

However, I am not slower than the LA Metro subway building. I lobbied amongst friends to pass Measure R and they can't even get it two stops to La Cienega until 2019! And some work won't be done until 2032 - I'll be a certifiable senior citizen by then! Other cities do it in one decade, not three. Ridiculous!

So I hope my 2009 productivity is in like a sloth and out like a panther!

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2009!

Didn't make any resolutions this year, because I usually break them (especially the annual "eat a little less cheese" one). BUT maybe that means I'll actually accomplish a few. Like writing more religiously on my blog.

Got some pictures to share - (not babies or cheesy holiday couple shots, don't worry ;) those'll be up soon!

As always it is funny, obnoxious and raw - a mix of journalistic details and blood. Check it out!
