Vincent Gallo

Have you ever heard Vincent Gallo's album "When"? It's really really good, and the only reason I've heard it is because of my crazy dad.

My dad knew someone who's son had a radio show or something maybe. I don't know exactly. Anyhow, one day I came home to visit and he said there was a box of cds in the basement and I should have a look through and take whatever I want. There were a bunch of samplers and multiples of bad independently produced albums. There were a few that seemed maybe worth my time but the only one I listen to was what appeared to be a preview of Galo's "When".

I knew who Vincent Gallo was, I might have even known that he did some music, but I mostly just knew him from his movies, so this was of interest to me. I put on the cd and it was completely different from what I ever imagined her would create. I'm not a music guy so I'm not going to describe it except to say that it's a good album to listen to when you're lonely and sad and you've been up for the last 20 hours or more, drifting in and out of sleep and sobbing.

(poo) Wanted, starring Angelina Poolie

hmm, didn't poo yesterday, or saturday. Pooed on friday night, but it was at the girlfriend's, so no picture.

Ate little bits and pieces of things all weekend. Really just snacks here and there. Some pita and hummus, some macaroni salad, some coleslaw, etc. A couple of beers, no coke.

Went to Sneaky Dee's last night to see The Word Burglar (white halifax hip hop) but didn't even have a drink.

Today is the first day of Phase III of p90x for me and except for tomorrow, man I'm going at it full throttle! We went to see Wanted yesterday and it was amazing. I know I can never do what is done in that movie, when when I workout, when I finish a p90x workout I feel more powerful, more in control and just plain stronger. Plus, near the end when the main guy is in the apartment and he's wet with his shirt off, he looks amazing.

Also saw Jumper this weekend. It was fun, very light. Reminded me of The Butterfly Effect in tone and spirit. Anyway, my girlfriend said my arms are bigger than Hayden Christensen's, and that would be all because of p90x. I know he isn't much to compare myself against, but still, it's a bit of encouragement.

ipood touch

Perhaps a blatant marketing ploy. All I really have to report is that I was up at 5 this morning. Worked out, had a poo (picture left), and continued the long process of transferring all my cds onto my computer so that I won't have to do it when or if I eventually get an ipod.

Meanwhile, someone started a thread on stillepost.ca for p90x updates. So if you're looking for the same level of absurdity coupled with p90x, that's where you'll find it. Also it proves that p90x is now in the popular culture, ranking somewhere between the movie Underworld and The Magic Bullet home appliance. Way to go P90X! You've earned the ironic appreciation and hipster scorn you're been working towards! If you really want to take it further you'll start advertising on American Gladiators.

Hum a little Ditty...

So my girlfriend left the bed to pee but didn't bother to close the door, as usual. Suddenly, however, there came loud flatuance and she called out, "Nothing! Hum a little ditty!" so I couldn't hear her poo.

It's a fun little game we have. I'm always trying to see her poo and she's always pretending that she doesn't want me to see her poo, or know that she is pooing.

So I made up a song while she pooped:

Hum a little ditty
a hum hum hum
hum a little ditty
while she poos

Hum a little ditty
a hum hum hum
hum a little ditty
a ditty ditty

girlfriend is pooin'
a hum hum so
hum a little ditty
while she poos

hum a little ditty
a hum hum hum
hum a little ditty
to hide the poo

girlfriend is pooin'
a hum hum it goes
plop plop plop
a ditty ditty

etc.

Anyway, this isn't her poo, it's mine, and it was two days in the making.
