a jihad on hannah montana →
[From CNN] A Los Angeles teenager declared JIHAD on Hannah Montana, planning to crash an airliner into her concert in Louisiana…. he had flight plans…schedules….but not a schedule that mentioned that Miley wouldn’t be there until Friday. Kristen notes: “It’s very, very stupid. That’s obviously someone who was 9-10 years old during 9/11 and doesn’t...
Congratulations liver, you are my bodies employee...
no matter how many times i try to pretend it’s going to not turn out poorly, going out directly after work and drinking heavily with no dinner is a bad bad bad idea. also no good when the friend in the band you just saw runs into you at the bar as you are trying to calculate a tip and goes “whoa you are drunk”. sigh. this a blanket apology to anyone i talked to last night. ...

Sounds more like a title related to…. a) Doctor Who or b) Quantum Leap I’m...
The Heath Ledger/Nick Drake Connection →

I had no idea that Ledger was obsessed with Drake, nor that he was in a video for Drake’s “Black Eyed Dog” last year (that has yet to be released), where he drowns himself in a bathtub at the end.

heath ledger.
We’re not a super timely blog, maybe that will change soon. But it’s still crazy to think about the death of Heath Ledger. He was honestly a great actor, and it’s always a shame when someone so young and so talented passes away. It’s very similar to the Nick Drake story. A man, suffering from depression, just wants to sleep. In Drake’s case, he mistook some of his...
