richard linklater...

...seems like a nice guy. but if you haven't already seen before sunrise and/or before sunset, please do not watch them. ever.

these two films will make you want to quit your menial job, box up your audaciously messy apartment, ditch the significant other, and catch the next barge to paris. or vienna. or any other european city with quaint cafes and river boats.

unlike most privileged upper middle class kids, i skipped out on the whole "backpack-naked-through-europe-on-the-train-while-smoking-pot" shenanigans in college. i believe some lucky fellas take the trip in the taint between the gaping moral vacuums of high school and college. in any case, linklater's excessively cool in my book. i hate you!

hallo asa bailey...i love you! give their sega ad a once over and tell me my passions are misplaced. the hotjobs spot is also drool-worthy. now that their omnipresent ads for the2headeddog.com have been identified as "offline prestitials" for mtv2. they're undergoing a format re-launch on february 7th. or some shite. i was hoping so badly that it was for a cooler company. a newer company. a more inspiring company. one that would be hiring like crazy and that would take one look at my resume and hire me on the spot.

ha.

ha.

it's friday. i need a toke. and a poke.
