“I was there.”
Lots of updates to come, right now I’m on a sabbatical from people, but that’s going to end at some point. Get ready for the flow when I turn on the faucet. In the meantime I worked until midnight and missed the last train home and stayed up all night making this wild little donkey. Check it. Let me know what you like and what you yike, there are a few annoying snafus but it’s hot trash served on a sheet of tinfoil, but it’s like tinfoil made out of gold. Goldfoil.
So my dad and I were watching the closing ceromonies to the olympics and towards the end when the Olympic flag is passed from the current host city to the next the mayor of London came up to recieve the flag. He was dressed like a slob with money, his grin confirmed his citizenship, his walk looked pre-human and his hair was a cross between Prince Valiant, Pete Rose and that blonde dude from Spinal Tap. My dad and I laughed for a solid five minutes as he stood next to his classy and reserved Chinese counterpart. But I’m a fan of Boris Johnson, (the entertainment!) and for more you should check out his wikipedia page, which is engrossing and hilarious. But first watch this video of him participating in some sort of old-timer celebrity soccer game between England and Germany.It’s my favorite video of the month. I just can’t get over the fact that this guy just got voted in as mayor of London.
I guess I’m on the subject of ladies I love to look at. Have you seen Natalie Portman in her boyfriend’s new music video? Devendra Banhart’s Bollywood inspired extravaganza is a huge departure from her usual material.
SPOILER (which might mean “WARNING!”, depending on your persuasion): pubes incoming at 0:33.

THE SCENE: Doolittle and Tophat watching one of his favorite movies, the underrated Streets of Fire.
DOOLITTLE: When was the last time you watched The Outsiders?
TOPHAT: It’s been a while. Why?
DOOLITTLE: Because I don’t think anyone has ever been more beautiful than Diane Lane in that movie. Ever. You should watch it again just for her. She has the most perfect face I have ever seen.
TOPHAT: Diane Lane was my first crush.
DOOLITTLE: Mine too, apparently.
TOPHAT: Diane Lane and Her Butt Hair.
DOOLITTLE: Wha—?
DOOLITTLE: …
DOOLITTLE: !?!???!
DOOLITTLE: Gross.
So it turns out that Tophat meant to say “butt-shaped hair” in reference to her fabulously feathered Streets of Fire coif. Regardless of intention, our misunderstanding put a new twist on my feelings about Diane Lane. Every time I see her Neutrogena commercial now, that phrase pops into my head. In title caps. And sparkle font.
All things considered, I couldn’t resist when I came across this article about Road to Hell, an up and coming Streets of Fire tribute by Albert Pyun of The Sword and the Sorcerer notoriety. I’m not going to paraphrase here; Mr. Beaks’ article is both thorough and entertaining. Check it out.
