his commercial, ‘now we can eat’ will be shown on national tv in may. congratulations!!
presenting the new british currency. and it. is. AWESOME. the US’s new currency? kinda janky. check out the ‘history in your wallet’ section of this feature about the new $5 bill. things just kind of went to hell in the 20th century didn’t they? surely we can do better.

via pat, the excellent old spice metaphorical generator of sports metaphors. the best ones are ‘frisbee golf’ and ‘select all’. also, the actor is totally hot – like they really wanted to get mike rowe, but couldn’t, so they got this guy.
my friend matt shot a commercial for the heinz top this tv challenge and it’s kind of a huge deal. if he wins he gets a load of cash (always comes in handy, esp if you’re a freelancer like matt) and his commercial gets shown on national tv! check out the commercial and vote for ‘now we can eat’!
today i took my mom and dad to nate ‘n al’s in beverly hills for lunch (corned beef, pastrami, honey smoked turkey). as we were standing near the door waiting for a table i was kind of zoning out (as usual) and when i came to i realized i must’ve been doing the thousand-yard stare in the vicinity of this guy because suddenly our eyes met.
AND IT WAS BRENT SPINER. and inside? i was LOSING MY SHIT. but on the outside – totally casual as if i hadn’t just realized i was standing five paces away from DATA, EVERYONE. DATA! and he’s just, you know, sitting there having lunch with a friend like he’s a normal person and not also DATA.
so i point him (DATA!!!!) out to my mom (being sure to tell her to ‘be cool’) and to my dad as well (me: ‘be cool dad – be cool’; dad: ‘who is this guy again?’). after awhile we’re seated, and our table is around the other side of them and slightly behind so i can finally see who brent spiner (who is taller than i thought) is having lunch with…
AND IT’S MICHAEL DORN. WORF, PEOPLE! – WORF. and can i tell you? he is totally adorable (wireframe glasses!) and totally hot. and tall. and hot. did i mention hot? and my day? MADE.
you have no idea how hard it is not to ditch my parents right now so i can watch some ‘first contact’. seriously, i’m barely holding it together.
update: more trek fun for you – tng for comic relief, original series fun, my favorite episode of reading rainbow aside from the one where levar is sent on a birthday quest.

last night i went to the opening of andrew bell‘s solo exhibit at gallery 1988. it was awesome – the gallery walls were painted and the ceiling was hung with orange and yellow fabric to match the theme – ‘burning desire’. basically everything except the largest and most expensive pieces were sold, which was sort of disappointing – there were a lot of really cute/disturbing creatures and i wanted at least 10 of them. his toys and skateboard decks are cool too – lots of fun creatures on his site!
