Update 652

There are about 500 million people on this here social networking site. Which seems like a lot, but if you think about it, it's only about 7% of the world's population. Which means that if you have a Facebook account, you're part of the 7%. Not the 99%, but the 7%.

Update Double-oh-log

No time to plan? There's still time to whiten. Now, in only two hours, you can have noticeably whiter teeth. New WHITE STRIPS from CREST.

Don't be normal! Lose some weight! Bleach your teeth! Win on Facebook! Be part of the 7%!

What do you guys think of this?

Anybody know who painted this?

A friend of mine has asked me to do a reproduction of this piece, but I can't find a good reference. Any ideas? I was thinking it kind've looked like an old Dali, but can't find anything on line....anyone have a suggestion?

I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.

Update 542

I have a confession to make. I like a John Mayer song right now. I just listened to it a bunch of times on YouTube. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm part of the 1%. Or, like, the 7% anyway. Definitely the 7%.

Further Updates...

48 hours without coffee. First was the headaches, then the sweats. Then came The Fear. Suddenly I found myself on Mont-Royal jabbering madly at the hipsters and menacing their purebred dogs. People eyed me suspiciously, like they knew. Even the hobos outside the SAQ avoided me (in both official languages). However, two giant Cafe Rico's later and the danger has passed. Blood pressure and heart rate back to normal, artificially elevated status.

"la revolution tranquille" et "lorne at work"

Both pretty rudimentary collages/watercolors that I did last year. Seems a bit messy and simple for you "real artists", but I thought I would share.

Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere

This is a hilarious video by The Onion about how silly and often uninformative and forumlaic TV news can be. I showed my composition class last night, as we're talking about sources of information, how to judge them, where our information comes from, etc.

It's a bit like that British video I posted a year or so ago (http://betablogforall.blogspot.com/search?q=how+to+report+the+news), except with a few more swears.
