i know what you’re thinking: it’s a cyriak video with teddy bears, pigeons, and fuel-efficient cars, how could it not get completely bat-shit loony brilliant halfway through? and you’d be totally totally right.

google me: a film about googling me

whitney — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:35:17 +0000

if you want to find out what your namesakes are doing in the rest of the world, one google search of your name and the mystery’s solved. but when i was younger, actually meeting someone who shared your exact name was always so magical and fortuitous. i used to try and force the coincidence by looking up my name in phone books when my family traveled, and then calling my namesake from the hotel phone. i wanted to find out what it was like being whitney alexander for that person, what the name ‘whitney alexander’ sounded like reflected off them, and whether, frankly, they deserved to be called whitney alexander. imagine my shock when i got my first male whitney alexander on the phone: FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

in this film, a dude named jim killeen contacted a bunch of other jim killeen’s that he found on google, and they all got together and made a film about it. i haven’t seen it yet but the concept sounds pretty interesting, assuming the jim killeens of the world aren’t a bunch of boring-ass tools.

why not watch it and let me know! love you, guys, whoever you aren’t!

the indispensable whimsy of trash

at what price to impress one’s garbagemen? $16 for 12 brilliant goldfish bags? yes, i think that’s fair.

buy yours here and receive the eternal admiration of your city’s sanitation workers. seriously, they will be talking about you in the municipal break room for years. you can’t put a price on that sort of curb cred.

little lady gaga

whitney — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:37:50 +0000

in brazil, this 8-year-old kid actually exists. what’s scarier is the existence of her parents who encourage her to wear black lipstick and dance and sing poorly to lady gaga’s songs about debilitating obsessions. at one point, the parents must have even suggested that the kid crawl sexily around on the floor. very classy.

at the same time, i love a world where this kid exists, so long as she remains in another hemisphere.
