It doesn't glow green or come out in hot shiny crystals. But kryptonite, known more fondly by nerds as "sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide" was discovered in a Serbian mine. First person to find Green Lantern's ring becomes ruler of the world, GO!
Post "New Music Tuesday" (if anyone receives music emails from Apple you will know what I'm talking about) I was inspired to update my music collection and look up my favorite artists to see who had come out with some hot new shit. Both Bjork and Maroon 5 are dropping some hot titles next month, I saw Bjork on SNL this weekend and I am looking forward to some good ol' fashion Bjork, whatever that is. The Arctic Monkeys have a new one for you lovers of the British rock/pop scene. Bebel Gilberto is out with a new one called Momento, for those of you looking for something ground breaking you won't find it here. You will find some vintage Bebel so if you liked the other stuff then you'll like this too. Via my Emusic membership I also am forced to look for new music every month which is great for an audiophile like me. I ran into a band called Field Music which is really like an updated version of XTC (Making Plans for Nigel). Pretty good for some kitchy background music. Doing a little research I also found out that Diplo has another mix that he did called Fabriclive 24: Diplo, not many people can mix Aphex Twin and Ludacris. At least not like he can.
Finally my motherland will be known for other things than trying to scam naive people from other countries out of their money. Elections were held on Saturday and they were monitored by volunteers using SMS (Short message system) messages to monitor voting locations and make sure there was no untoward actions taking place. Kudos Nigeria, I like where this is going. Take a look at the article for more information. Also good luck to President Obasanjo in his upcoming school year. The president who never finished college will be going back to school at the tender age of 70. Looks like everything is coming up Nigeria.
...too much time on their hands? These students at UCSC who created the first level of Donkey Kong with 3"x3" post-its in one of the campus buildings. As cool as this was, all these kids should have their rooms checked for rifles or interviewed to rule out some type of homicidal behavior. Anyone who puts this much energy into such a pointless task might be disturbed. It's like maintaining a blog that no one reads, very suspicious.
The Black Actors guild was put to the test recently, glad to say that this picture still is a fair representation of our relationship...on the really really really really really real real real tip, I think bitches straight worked against us this time.
