Oscar Sunday
by Jacob on 24. Feb, 2008 in art, film
Happy to see the brothers get their due. I loved how uncomfortable they looked accepting their awards. There won’t be an odder, trippier, or bleaker film to win best picture for a looong time. The best part of the entire show was when they let the Once girl come back on stage to speak. Also [...]
Sunday Morning Selections: PJ Harvey
by Jacob on 24. Feb, 2008 in music, Sunday Morning
PJ Harvey – White Chalk Title song from a great album she released last year. While I always had been more partial to the raw power of her rockist tendencies, this brief collection of fragile, hypnotic songs highlight dramatically her talents as a songwriter. There’s an air of timelessness I find here that’s rarely achieved.
Texas students march 7 miles to vote
by Ian on 23. Feb, 2008 in action, politics
Early voting in the Texas Primary has been out of control. It’s up 1000% in some precincts.

Chemtrail Sunday
by Jacob on 10. Feb, 2008 in fear, Sunday Morning, technology
These shots are from earlier in the morning. By the end of the day the entire sky was painted with this stuff, resembling clouds almost. I’ve never seen so many… I was out surfing in the morning and could see as one floated overhead a faint black/grayish matter slowly falling off the trails down to [...]
