Everybody's Weird

I’m so tired, my day at job was stupid and boring, i feel dizzy, i just want to go to sleep. i hope i’m not on the verge of getting a cold. Plus the fridge is empty and i’m hungry. Hopefully, tonight the instant noodles save my life. 400 ml of boiling water, and I will eventually feel 15 minutes of relief, feeding my stomach.

You lucky bastards. Lastminute.com sells Radiohead tickets at Saint-Denis for october the 20th at 210 FF (i got mine at 250 FF).

<french>Vous voulez gagner des millions ? des chèques de 5 FF ? Moi je pratique le bananalotto qui ne coute rien. Pour rajouter du piment (?) à ce jeu con comme la lune, je lancerai une compet’ à la fin du mois : à celui qui aura accumulé le + de chèques… Pour l’instant, entraînez-vous.</french>

Now : a) noodles b) bed. Everyone’s favourite bachelor evening.

And sorry for the lame corporate links.

Last friday, Nita brought me to this huge asian restaurant in chinatown, Paris. It was a wonderful evening. Try to play a Madison track to a crowd of old chinese people, you’ll see them rush on the dancefloor and move their body like it’s the last dance of their life. As Titi (Nita’s sister) definitely put it, Madison is the ultimate cult dance for asiatics. I love to discover when people are weird. That’s so cute. (if anybody knows a web about the madison dance, please tell me ’cause i didn’t find one worthwhile, and, who knows ?, if anybody has an explanation, that would be very nice to you to share it with me…).

NP : Guided by Voices — Do the Collapse. Did I ever mentioned that this record is amazing ? Bob Pollard is a genius, if anybody still had doubts.

Travis, from the Dismemberment Plan, talks about his band’s amazing last album Emergency & I to LostAtSea.online. Excerpt :

And I think it was a major educational process for me because I hated it at first. So did the rest of the band. We didn’t enjoy the process of it at first because [producer] J Robbins put our noses to the grindstone. Don’t just wing it and go in and see what happens when the tapes are rolling. Know your part and know it while you’re playing it. It kind of made us feel like less of musicians. Then I got away from the album for a little while and it started to make the rounds to our friends and I realized that we had made a record of songs, as opposed to a record of us playing our instruments. It was an enormously maturing process and, like all maturing processes, it was very humiliating.

I enormously agree to this last sentence. (Main entrance to Lost At Sea here.)

This guy is sooo lucky… You can say what you want about Britney, but she’s hot. dot. At least she doesn’t want us to believe she’s doing Aaaaart (fans of Céline Dion, this one was for you ; wake up please). Britney, it’s just money, teen lust and mainstream musak, you are warned from the beginning.

And please spare me your feminist shit like this Rachel Thing email.

A spiritual joke is pleasing from times to times.

Check this screenshots of Microsoft’s Windows 1.x to 3.11. It drives me to a foolishly nostalgic mood, would you believe it. That may also be a sunday afternoon laziness by-product…

Remember the purity test ? An old internet classic you should do. I did it again a moment ago (oops!) and I couldn’t get under the score of 74% of purity, again. I’m so straight…

Anyway, for my male readers, the new hip test is the suave-o-meter which will tell you how appreciated you are by girls as a potential love-mate. I won’t tell you my score, since as adam stated it (to fellow webloggeurs) :

any credibility you had in claiming « suaveness » was immediately shot the second you posted your score on the « suave-o-meter » to your weblog. in this post

Anyway, people from any gender are encouraged to try the others tests from emode.com, which are well-written, interesting, and above the standard of your disappointing boy/girl magazine summer tests.

My friend Richard maintains his large website (in French), where you can find the famous « Zone Pingouin », evidences that he’s a php3 guru, and a large collection of useful links, among many other stuff. Go there to find the view of a guy who’s been a professional webmaster for more years than any dumb start-up empty-headed prick in the business since Time said it’s hot money-making. Respect.
