C Jizzle: and they are like giant boring squares in suits

C Jizzle: male models....ugh

C Jizzle: no woman wants a man twig with hair better or as good as theirs

Régine Chassagne (of the sweet, smooth and delicious band Arcade Fire) is Haitian! How exciting is that! Well for me it is, both of my parents are from Haiti. Of course, this means nothing outside its patriotic exterior because I don't know French, and I don't know Creole. But! Who cares! It's super cool man!

This interactive video by arcade fire is also pretty friggin' sweet. Check it out.

I have a bag full of artsy things for this weekend: bookbinding materials, one black chuckle and some vinyl for t-shirt making... Many a post to follow!

*This is vinyl that I cut on our machine, arranged in the way I would want it on a t-shirt. Wee!

The other day I visited my mother and father, who live on Memory Lane- well its not actually called memory lane, but for me it is. Whenever I go there, I do a couple of things: I make sure to I fill up on as many mom-made Haitian goodies as possible (otherwise I'd have to visit way more often....... too catty?) Anyway, she gladly cooks anything I want, as long as it's oily and fattening.

Like I'd ask for anything else.

This time, she made boullion soup, but at other times, I've gotten family sized portions of poule corniques et pois (cornish hen and peas) to Sauteed beef in brown rice to fried plantain (which doesn't sound fancy but its tasty!) She probably wouldnt mind it if I ended up looking like Biggie Smalls' heavier brother. But I resist (as much as I can.)

The other thing I do is go to my old bedroom (or, the memory closet, if you will) to see if theres any crap I can take out of there to add to the mountains of crap I have in my apartment. I was looking through a box and I found this sketchbook from highschool:



It looks like I did all this art around junior year of HS. Not too shabby. I seemed to be really into crosshatching. In this book, however, was a really detailed drawing of Trent from Daria. Which, I mean, was correct in it's movie like foreshadowing. Also in this sketchbook: really awful, and I mean REALLY AWFUL poetry. You'll never see it if I have anything to say about it.

PS. REALLY AWFUL.

Mollygood, an entertainment blog 40x better than Perez on its worst day, has a regular contest where you write a haiku about something in entertainment that is happening at the time. This weeks was about Britney Spears losing custody of her kids:

Never google Brit-
Babymama Va-Jay-Jay
to and fro. K, kids?

Here's the original blog entry.
Here's the first one I won.

Let's make it three! WOO!

and than i realize how much i HATE growing it back

so i dont cut my hair.

I didn't design this beautiful brochure, but I did design the logo on the front of it! Look, My logo and the Smithsonian logo are BFFs. Owwwww!

For more information at the show, visit the Smithsonian Latino Center's Show website. There's music in the intro, so mute it if you're at work. My sister nearly had a coronary when she opened it up. :)

Update: Apparently the picture was removed for some wierd legal purpose ... so I cropped out logos that I didnt create. The logo right there I did create and therefore it IS my property. Huff huff huff.
