[Update 3/28]

I apologize in advance for the vulgar language.

Yesterday a lot of the fears that kept me from speaking out for so long were realized. Although the general response to my words was overwhelmingly positive, I was and still am being called a stupid bitch, a cunt, and “all that…

Validates why I don’t want to work in the game industry.

This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.

So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought…

Dude clearly has a problem with women. But like many comics, is just an angry, bitter, insecure guy.

The California Modern Design exhibit at LACMA in Los Angeles. Annie and I got a private tour thanks to LACMA’s fantastic tumblr-keeper.

Clockwise from top: Eames chairs; the 1950 cocktail table by Milo Baughman, described by Everywoman’s Magazine as “the heart, soul and center of a home”; and Eames’ living room, literally taken from his home in Pacific Palisades and transplanted into LACMA.

I want it all.

Boy drops DS in gorilla cage, inadvertently creates the best photo op ever

So this little boy was just walking around the San Francisco zoo, doing what every boy who is dragged to the zoo tends to do - play video games - when he accidentally dropped his DSi XL into the gorilla habitat. And wouldn’t you know it, a professional photographer happened to be right there.

Still photos and video capture a large gorilla that found the DSi, picked it up and started trying to figure out how the darn thing worked. At one point a smaller gorilla came up to take a look, just like the jealous kids on the elementary school playground.

After reportedly being unable to figure out the confusing friend code system, the gorilla knocked it around and eventually lost interest.

The boy got his system back when a trainer lured the gorilla with an apple and was able to snatch the device out of the gorilla’s hands. (It then grabbed a princess and jumped up a tower of ladders and construction beams before throwing down barrels of oil.)

Although the DSi was pretty beaten up, the rigorous inspection didn’t stop it from working. It turned right back on and the boy was able to continue his game.

Mine.

Whitney Houston’s isolated vocal track on “How Will I Know.” 

Beautiful, beautiful voice.

So excellent

I’ve been seeing this series all over the place. My favorite photo is Grace Slick before and after she had her baby. Her mom redecorated, slightly.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie.  Listening to it whilst I work on my ‘strategies’.  Feeling inspired for a trip to see my friends in Milano.

Everything about this movie was beautiful. I could watch it again and again again. The story is just part of it. The architecture, clothes, food - glorious eye candy in every frame.
