Gross! aka when knees bend in incomprehensible ways

You guys know how I feel about exclamation points. When I break one out, you know it's for something big. I haven't been able to watch this video in its entirety yet. This one's not for the squeamish.



The fall lands him 8-12 months rehab, and makes me a little sick in my stomach every time I see the video. I actually can't watch it without cringing.

You go! Kiefer!

I was reading the gossips (US? People? I'm not really sure. But it has Jessica Biel on the cover) when I was working out today and I came across this tidbit:

At hot LA hangout The Dime on January 28, Andy Dick, 41, tried to smooch Kiefer Sutherland, 40, who 'went Jack Bauer on him" ...

RAD!! I love how "Jack Bauer" is a verb now—a verb that implies torture and abject suffering. Good! Andy Dick probably totally deserved it.

Oh Michiko Kakutani!

How I wish that, someday, I can write a two-sentence lede as scathing as yours:

"Thomas Pynchon’s new novel, 'Against the Day,' reads like the sort of imitation of a Thomas Pynchon novel that a dogged but ungainly fan of this author’s might have written on quaaludes. It is a humongous, bloated jigsaw puzzle of a story, pretentious without being provocative, elliptical without being illuminating, complicated without being rewardingly complex."

Awesome!

Super Sneaker Saturday

I'm on my way out, so my post is going to have to be brief. I've dubbed today Super Sneaker Saturday, as it's been a day of multiple pickups. This morning I went to Purolator and picked up the shoes I had shipped to me from my Nike hookup, the new Air Force XXV. It's the 25th anniversary edition of the Air Force one--kind of an amalgamation of the style of the original shoe with modern Nike technologies. I got them in the colourway I wanted too, which is a nice bonus.




Keeping with the 25th anniversary of the AF1, I went over to Foosh at noon and picked up some ridiculous retro's that I had on hold all week. They've got a tweed material that feels like an old couch on the upper. Some may say they're ugly, and I wouldn't disagree. I think they're so ugly that they're cool, though.



Lastly, I've been scouring youtube for this commercial since I saw it last week. It makes me think of people who call charges in pickup ball, and how decidedly un-gangster that is.
