last week across from the western avenue brown line, next to the delicious opart thai house, i saw new grocery-store-special-style butcher paper signs in the windows of the (ex?) B.P. video (purveyor of adult videos, most certainly). they said:
CHUBBY WIENERS IS COMING TO TOWN
IT WILL HAPPEN SOON
hot crackers, is this guy’s portfolio awesome. you can find it at okaydave.com and it’s the best online portfolio i’ve ever seen. he uses after effects and flash to create a portfolio that is actually interesting and gives the visitor insight into his creative process. in the logos section you rollover the detail images and can see handwritten notes about the logo and it’s development. for each project he includes a video where he explains the entire project and his ideas going into it, its evolution and the final product.
you can also visit his professional site to read his journal and look at past projects he did while in school (most of which became paid projects that you can see on okaydave.com). okaydave.com has only been live for a month and has already won several awards, and deservedly so.
update:
eric: man he plays guitar and draws a comic strip too. when does this guy find time to masturbate? or urinate for that matter?! he must have a sketchpad hanging over the toilet!
twee?

kara: i just used ‘twee’ in everyday conversation. i don’t think anyone knew what i meant
kara: i’m ahead of the curve!
kara: …the dork curve!
eric: i think that’s a valid word to use, but yeah not everybody is gonna know it
eric: like among some groups it probably gets over used. belle & sebastian fans, for instance
eric: they’re all: “How was your bowel movement?”
eric: “Oh, it was kind of twee I guess”
at antonio’s birthday lunch at reza’s:
charlie: [in the middle of telling a gruesome story] …and then a car clipped his head – got him right here [gestures to under his jaw]. he caught just the edge of the bumper.
[various noises of disgust and horror from around the table]
kara: so…was he ok?
charlie: oh he was fine – but his life was ruined.
kara: where is zump?
eric: he’s on the bed
eric: lying on his side
kara: which side
eric: (i like how we talk about zump as if he were a real person)
eric: his port side
kara: lol
eric: in nautical terms
behold, more evidence of my lameness – or actually, i guess we both come off as pretty idiotic.
…is this even funny at all to anyone except me? i don’t think even eric finds this amusing. cripes. loser –> me
travis: how long has it been since you had real chocolate?
antonio: well…i haven’t had milk knowingly for…five years
travis: i don’t know what i’d do if i couldn’t have milk! i love it! i eat milk and pizza at the same time!
kara: ewwwwww
antonio: it’s not natural! it’s just…wrong!
travis: what do you mean?
antonio: milk is meant to take a calf to a cow in a few weeks. we’re the only species that drinks another animal’s milk! it’s wrong!
[skeptical noises from everyone else]
antonio: serious! look, you don’t see koalas running up to gorillas and sucking on their gorilla teats!
prince throws in his two cents: animal kingdom (first verse)
(*quote from arnold schwarzenegger)
during ‘king kong’ last night (which was awesome), carl denham says to ann darrow, ‘i’m someone you can trust. i’m a movie producer.’ i immediately and completely involuntarily ‘HA!!‘-ed, putting the full force of my diaphragm behind the guffaw.
it was totally silent in the theatre and no one else laughed. at least, no one else laughed as explosively as i did.
now, i realize my reaction was a little…overboard, shall we say, but seriously – NO ONE ELSE thought that was funny?? what gives? i felt like a leper. i guess, as eric pointed out, that joke probably played better in LA.
kara: did you see the pic i posted – where jon and eric look like a couple
andrew: haha – no
kara: http://flickr.com/photos/hyperbolation/80543163/
andrew: haha – lovely – adam and steve
kara: ?
andrew: adam and eve, not adam and steve!
kara: OHHHH
andrew: they really look quite charming
kara: yes – i wish it had been more in focus – but it was cold out there
andrew: yeah – camera softness = subject softness :)
kara: they just seem really happy to be…touching…each other
andrew: yeah – i mean, look at those hands
kara: clutching!
andrew: tenderly
kara: you almost sense that just before this they were…kissing
andrew: or found out jon was pregnant
kara: LOL – YES
andrew: and the nesting begins!!
see more pics of the party via eric’s flickr page.
re: cecile’s halloween costume (a pasty)…
andrew: i was expecting a tasteful and invisible doily…
cecile: this was made from white gaff tape, construction paper and glitter.
eric: what’s the name of that paper your parents get?
eric: ‘the argonaut’?
kara: ha!!
kara: no…’the ARGUS’!
um, so there are some pies and desserts here at work. FREE dessert y’all! so i decided to be adventurous and have some of the pie that no one knew what it was. except that i’m eating it and i still don’t know what it is. it’s sort of…brown. there isn’t stuff in it, it’s all mixed together. it’s like a brown cake with a thick brown gelatinous layer between it and the crust… uh…it’s not real fruity or sweet…in fact it smells savory…there is a light crumbly flour-y topping on it…what the hell is this??
update: this pie has a weird aftertaste.
update update: upon talking about where to eat in san francisco this weekend:
kara: or, man wendy’s does sound good. like, it sounds good RIGHT NOW
eric: it’s pretty close
kara: because i am HUNGRY
eric: hehe, sorry about that
kara: that pie must’ve been makeyoumorehungry pie
eric: maybe it was faux bacon and real marijuana
kara: lol
eric: bacon-flavored marijuana
