Shout Out!

Just had to share this kick-ass "non-trad" idea that our dear friend Joshua had for our Green SF campaign for PG&E. Lots of hard work on the account side went into making these grass couches come to life, but it wouldn't have been possible without the idea! This creative media thing can work. Yay!

"I Respect my S*?t"

was the title of the first song sung by this guy at the reggae concert Alison made me go to.

dude...

Ramirez wanted me to pass this around...

Zoned

Anyone else feeling particularly unproductive today... my computer's on, i'm staring at it, i have plenty to do, it's even open on the thing i'm working on... and yet, nothing.

And for some reason, all i can think about is Indigo here saying "helly, my name is Indigo Montoya...you killed my father... prepare to die."

Damnit, i just spilled hot chocolate...

relief!

There were tears involved in getting this apartment. But we finally did. I'll be living with my close friend and bandmate, Laura (we have known each other since 9th grade). It is in Greenpoint. Any other Greenpointers? I think the rest of your NYers live in Manhattan?

New Cingular spot = bad

I think the new Cingular spot using 'A Christmas Story' is lame (lamb if Alison's reading). That's probably one of the best movies ever... each year when TNT plays 24 hours of 'A Christmas Story,' i watch it like 6 times... I think using it to huck phones is definitely not awesome. Am I alone, again, forever?

PostSecret

"Sometimes when we think we are keeping a secret, that secret is actually keeping us." - Frank Warren

Just got the new PostSecret book at Naked today for a project and it is a must get for anyone. If you don't want to buy the book, please check out the website at http://www.postsecret.com

Post Secret is an art project where anyone can write a secret on a postcard and send them in. Here are some examples...





This would have been a good project to do in Charlie's class.

It got me to thinking about all the secrets that I keep...

What are yours?

what's the word for....

This is not a thesaurus. It's for people who can't even come up with a synonymous word. People like me.
You know, it's for when you start the question like so - "What's the word for when someone is ......blah blah blah."

It's a backward dictionary!
You give it your definition and it gives you the word!
It's the small things in life guys.

A Must Read

Some books strive to answer age old questions such as: "Where do babies come from?" or "What does 'adopted' mean?" This book, however, answers an even more pressing question....that we have all secretly asked ourselves...



Here are a few sample pages:

BEHOLD: THUNDER PANTS!

Check these out ladies (and lads looking for a rad gift). Perfect for rocking out on a rainy day with some wool socks.





Thunderpants
by Ami Kealoha, 15 November 2006

"They won’t go up your bum!" claims the New Zealand comfy-yet-cute underwear company Thunderpants. Started in 1995 by a couple of girls who were—in their own words—"frustrated by an undie market which either had us squirming all day in wee lace numbers or flopping about in sexless granny bloomers," they designed what they term their "ideal undie." These colorful, well-cut knickers, made from a blend of 92% cotton and 8% lycra, are printed with original wood block graphics. We love the whimsical patterns featuring rodeo cowboys, workman's tools and artichokes, to name a few. Available in children's and men's sizes as well, all styles pictured are hipsters, which start at NZ$25 from Thunderpants.

How about these memories?!

London!

Here are some pics from the past couple of months in no particular order..


London Eye. It's the world's biggest ferris wheel with the best views of London.

While I was in NY, Kumar wanted to get $2 falafals on Bleeker Street (I think) and this guy decided to shine his shoes.


On my way up to NYC, I stopped by D.C. to see some friends and Kumar picked me and we drove through MD and saw this rainbow. First rainbow I've ever seen.


Me with the brown crew + Felix.

"They ain't no animals betta than me! I'm Brian Fellows"

Remember This Night?

I have to thank danny burke for this, which without whom my life would never have been touched by the amazingness.

Alllllllright!

Hi everyone, it's Charlie (in case the user name is Penthias)!!! I made it here. I had to create four blogs to do it, but I made it. I miss you all!!! Life in SF is wonderful. I am digging Mill Valley, the amazing natural resources here (10 minutes to the redwoods, 20 minutes to the ocean, etc., etc.,) my new house and under 10 minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge! Teaching is overwhelming - the program needs lots of work and because I am teaching so many classes, I am not getting much tme to work on it. BUT, that should change next semester.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the house: Come and visit!!! I have plenty of room (By the way, the view is awesome and the furniture is not mine!! It was put there to sell the house).

I love you all!
