Guitar Hero Is Ruining Our House

Perhaps we are majorly late in the game. but this game was bought and recently introduced to the ladies of the fillmore...and its ruining our lives!

The Game:

The Gear:

The System:

The Rundown:

You pick your rock-e-star ideal bod, guitar and 'do (yeah as in hair). Your guitar hero career begins. You play venues around the world. You earn money to guitar hero up your life I assume.
And for like the last 10 seconds of each song you get syched into believing that maybe you can actually play jams by BlackSabbath, BadReligion, Queen, MotorHead, Boston or TheRamones.

Ok. So I grew up around video games since my pops used to work at Atari back in the 80s. But I'm no consule geek and the last time I dreamt about what keys I was going to press or how I was going to beat the next level was since Tetris. Hence, a fucking blog about it.

Oh yeah and if you don't have anything to do on Monday nights they have "Guitar Hero Night" and some bar on Webster and Haight. We're going to scope the scene next Monday.
See you there.
Maybe I'll blog about this year's greatest competitors.

ms morgan

its friday afternoon and i feel like shit. what else is new. only means happy hour will have to start a bit earlier than usual.

so i'm finally back in the office after our shoots this week for jimmmmmy deeaaan and tyson chicken. oh yeah i'm making everyone want to hurl right now.

commercials went smooth and like always the highlights of attending these shoots are:
the excessive amounts of celebrity trash i get to consume. Us, people, InTouch, you name it i read it. ah i feel so "up to date"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

i don't care. the more ms lindsay morgan lohan screws up, the more i love her. the new face of LV (i know) just cant stop shoving coke up her nose and having excessive amounts of "hollywood" sex. ah the young rich and famous. envious? hell fucking yes. stop sweating her, we all wish we could rock a new versace dress everyday and booze until the sun comes up only to receive threat letters from top execs and obviously not give a fuck because they probably secretly love the media attention for their upcoming movie.
some words of wisdom from the the crazy LL via her ELLE magazine interview:
(don't deny it your dying to read it)

ELLE: How many times do you sleep with someone before you're officially dating them? I don't know the rule these days.
LL: I don't either. But Sex and the City changed everything for me, because those girls would just sleep with so many people! My mom's going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But if I'm going to give my body to someone, I'd rather them not be with other people.
ELLE: That's very old-fashioned of you.
LL: Yeah, but I want to be able to if I like someone else.
ELLE: Huh. Interesting. It's the variety of partners that you like?
LL: I think everyone does, especially at my age. I mean, if the sex is bad, the relationship's not going anywhere. But I don't think I've had enough experience with dating one guy for a long time. The only one was Wilmer, and apparently Jared, but Jared was so paranoid. He'd always be like, "Don't come over if you're going to bring 15 f---ing paparazzi!" That gets hard too. Like, if I'm seeing a guy, or if he's coming out with my friends and I have a crush on him, I'll say, "We're probably going to be written about as dating tomorrow, and they're going to take a lot of pictures. Sorry." It's different when it's a guy who's already in the public eye. But if it's, like, a guy who's just starting out in a band, or a model, or a new actor, you feel like, "Okay, this is weird that they're getting so much press for just being with me." And they might get a big head. You have to think about those things.
ELLE: This Brandon Davis video....
LL: ...I still have not seen it. I will never see it. I got this call from a friend saying, "Did you see this video that Brandon and Paris did outside of Hyde?" I go, "No, I didn't see it." And then I started getting prank calls from them on my voicemail. They'd be screaming and saying the stuff that was said in the video. I don't want to fight with anyone. But obviously, she's very comfortable making videos. I just feel like people need to think more before they act. Even me sometimes.
ELLE: Could you give an example?
LL: I went to [Butter] last night, and Paris was there. I could have avoided going, but I didn't know she'd be there. When I got there I saw my friend Richie Akiva, who runs the place—I love him to death, they said I was dating him once, and they said Mary-Kate dated him, it's so incestuous—and Richie said, "Paris is downstairs," and I went, "I don't care. Whatever. Big deal." I could have just not gone in. But I saw her and she went off on this Stavros thing, grabbing my arm saying, "I can't believe you f---ing called Stavros." But you know what? I don't want to come across as talking shit about people. That's one thing I learned from Meryl: Take the higher road.
A waiter brings over the restaurant's cordless phone and tells Lohan she has a call. Holding it to her ear, she initially registers shock, gasps, and asks the caller if she's being Punk'd, then, after a few moments of listening, a smile spreads across her face. She points to one of the younger paparazzi outside, who it becomes clear is conversing with her on his cell from 30 feet away. Despite the intrusion, she's animated on the phone and promises she'll emerge soon for a picture. Afterward, she explains that though she initially thought it might have been one of her stalkers—"these crazy older men"—she was relieved that it was just the paparazzo she had recently sprayed with Reddi-wip after he followed her into a grocery store.
ELLE: It seems like every other gossip item about you mentions that you're in and out of bathrooms. They seem to be intimating....
LL: ...that I'm doing cocaine. And I'm not. There you have it. It's not true. I remember my dad would always look me in the eyes and be able to tell that I was lying if I looked away for a second. A security guard taught me that too—and he works in the CIA! So look me in the eyes. I'm not looking away. I'll talk to you for the rest of the interview like this if you want, aside from me having to eat my food. It's not true! My mother would take me out of the business. I want to get away from that whole thing, because I know what it does to relationships and families. And the guys that I'm attracted to now are guys that have either been to rehab and don't drink and don't smoke, or guys that just drink and smoke and don't do anything else. People say one thing leads to another—that's bullshit! I think whatever you consume can be done in moderation. Whatever it is. But why even go there? Because it kind of came up in Vanity Fair?
ELLE: See, you lost a ton of weight a while back, and you seem to have this capacity to stay up very late, andÂ….
LL: ...I'm 19! I can handle later hours! And I have a rule: I have to be home before the sun comes up or I start panicking. Unless it's, like, your birthday or whatever. I tried to keep my mom out with me the other night. She was in the city, so I said, "Come to Bungalow, please!" And she comes there, and James Franco's sitting there, and Stavros is there, and then Jared came in. My mom was like, "I cannot be here."

liquids on a plane



Heres the breakdown kids.
All I know is this shit better die down when we take our trip down to Hawaii for the film fest in September.

Click here for close-up
OR here for NYtimes article


On a serious note this shit better not be some cautionary mesaures or foreshadowing for India's Independence Day which, by the way, is tomorrow. I think my mom and me will be celebrating by taking a trip to Naz8 Cinema and check out the new Hindi flick of the week. ♥

On a lighter note and on the correspondence to "Liquids on a Plane" and SNAKES...
SNAKES ON THE MUTHAFUCKIN PLANE is coming out on FRIDAY.
I'm hearing rumors that a strong following will be slithering into theaters along side their KingCobra 40z for the premiere.
And this has been circulating the my office lately: http://snakesonaplane.varitalk.com
You can hit them up on the phone! Try it...its glorious.

Also finally almost all of my summer jams and party flicks including last weeks Gameover partay



In other news:

I have heard rumors for another spankrock party coming to sf. ooooh to jumpoff something like a clothing line drop for official tourist. ooooh. ok i had to get that buzzfactor out there of course because superdunny killed it friday night and i had more dj pro-creating dreams due to flossatradamus' performance. big boy tracky also was sounding immaculate and who would have thought the back to back banger would have taken place after diplo showcased the hip and sassy brasilian debauchaery of bonde do rolo and Cansei de Ser Sexy

Why I would rather catch a live show anyday:

  • Marina from Bonde Do Rolo and her cast as she performs "take it to the left!!"
  • Chick from CSS removing her extensions placing them in her crotch and jumping up and down screaming "if you have extensions take it off!!"

New commercial that I will be shooting this week: JIMMY DEANS BREAKFAST BOWLS Pre-packaged frozen goodness for the families that wish they could cook that perfect breakfast, but just dont have enough time....stay posted for close-up shots of products, it looks delicious mmmm. (yack) and for all of you with cable may already have seen this but I was just able to get my own copy dubbed on some of the ESPN/WC montages we had helped edit together. Why I’m posting them? Cause soccer changes the world...and has nothing to do with the U.S.

brain

my brain hurts. along with my body.

why doesnt my office turn into a bed. why am i wishing my office had a bed?
why arent i in my own bed instead.

too bad i left sari's usb at her house. and she doesnt know i still have her camera. and to kill time i could have posted pics from last night. which was epic by the way but im too tired to talk. blog. whatever.

i think the hardest thing about waking up sometimes is having to stay awake.

i dont know. heres some things that are helping me stay awake:

article about spike lee's new documentary about Hurricane Katrina: When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts (NYTimes Article)


an SF epic coming in September by film dudes: Gabe Morford & Mike Martin:
MASH-SF

01 August 2006

BUT TONIGHT:



I came across these lovely brits last year with the release of their 2005 album: Coming on Strong and my favorite single from the ep: Baby Said
With, acclamations according to me, I believe their second album: The Warning released earlier this year, might possibly be the best electronica album of the year. Some of my favorites that I end to play over and over:

[MP3] Hot Chip - Over & Over

Along with a Gorillaz collab done recently where these boys remix Kids With Guns. Which I could probably easily make love to on a daily...

Gorillaz - Kids With Guns (Hot Chip Remix)

And Rinchens Ponder of the Day: THE BRAND NEW TEE
I was reading both the WSJ & NYT yesterday when I came upon the latest feature articles:
NYT article featuring THEHUNDREDS/aNYthing/Barking Irons
WSJ article featuring King Stampede & Staple Design

I also saw the blogs around on
thehundreads
aNYthing and
slamhype

so heres the thing, am i supposed to be mad excited that mainstream consumers are being threatened by the glorious lifestyle of the young, hyphy and famous or scared that such “mainstream” praise and envy may only lead to replications and carbon copies that our even younger generation will not know how to distinguish?

feel free to comment.

lunch time peaaace.
