I don't even like video games (I dropped off somewhere around an Atari 7800), but color me there:
"Blip" at the American Museum of the Moving Image, 35th Ave. and 36 St. in Astoria, Now until April 25th, 2004.Blip features ten playable arcade games: Asteroids (1979), Centipede (1981), Defender (1980), Donkey Kong (1981), Missile Command (1980), Ms. Pac-Man (1982), Space War (1978), Tempest (1981), Tron (1982), and Zaxxon (1981).

With all the Kanye adoration going around, it's nice to find someone who shares me perspective:
that song he has with jamie foxx has to be one of the worst songs ever…but the reason the song is so insidious is because it’s a ninja song…it sneaks up on you, and before you can realize how bad it is, you already know all the words…its tricky like that. its like, you are listening to the song, and you are all, “jamie foxx sounds like a better singer when he is imitating real singers” and you are all “this really sucks, why is bubba gump kanye trying to sing? this is a joke, right? this must be a novelty song…” and then you are still listening, and all of a sudden, you go, “well, I do like marvin gaye…minnie ripperton is hot…oh shit, he mentioned ready for the world, that’s my shit!” and as soon as you do, you start thinking about how good those artists are, and you forget how absolutely atrocious the current song is.Preach it! But, I'll still go to the release party. Who am I to turn down swag and free booze?
Speaking of swag, Kitty Power loves Kate at Ace Fu. She let me know that a new Man Man is forthcoming. Kitty Power loves Man Man. I've got the t-shirt.
An early Valentine's gift from Abe to his readers. How sweet is that? I can't even always remember to post! Which is reminded me that day is fast approaching. *yawn* It's one of those holidays not worth getting worked up about. Show your love 365 (or 366, this leap year), not just on the most commercialized day of the year. I'll be blissfully single for the 22nd time, but feeling the love from all corners. I'm crafty sort, I'm sure I'll find an ace.

Something's wrong with me for denying the booze for sure.
