When I see that kid, I'm gonna crack that big fucking nose of his...and then I'm gonna tell him 'Say hi to your mother for me. I'm gonna get on a plane tomorrow, I'm gonna go down to 30 Rock or wherever the fuck they shoot that show, he probably doesn't have a dressing room so I have to find him in the cafeteria or wherever, and I'm gonna slap him in the big nose. Tune in, I gauran-fuckin-tee you. - Douchebag Marky Mark unable to take a joke.

F'n crazy.

Pilot wifey Jessica Stam is studying for her pilot's license and has already logged a few hours in the cockpit. I think that is great. Why should you care?
Jessica Stam also happens to be a Victoria Secret model and this story is an excuse to post a couple photos of her, which I think will be a nice respite for all of us from the election related stress.
[Insert joke about Mile High Club here]

Milan Kundera, the reclusive author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being--one of my all time favorite novels--reportedly snitched on a western spy. AP writes:
...Kundera in 1950 informed on Miroslav Dvoracek, who had been recruited in Germany by the Czech emigre intelligence network to work as a spy against the Communist regime.
Dvoracek visited a woman in Prague and left a suitcase in her apartment. She told her boyfriend, who later told Kundera, and Kundera went to the police.
Dvoracek was arrested when he came to collect the suitcase. He was later sentenced to 22 years in prison and eventually served 14, working in uranium mines.
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I recognized them, but yesterday during my lunch run to KTown on 34th Street I passed Alex McCord and her gay husband from Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City.

The blistering video of Korean Jeong-Hyum Lim casually ripping through Johann Pachelbel's Canon with his electric guitar is the stuff of YouTube legend (+48 million views) and spawned an online meme as well as a cottage industry of copycats and imitators, including Weezer who paid homage to it in the opening scene of the music video to their song Pork and Beans. He is now in New Zealand in school studying computer science, but he met with David Farrier of TV3 for this interview: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-80uzb24pfs]

11. This cupcake looks so dang delicious that when I first saw it I said that I wanted to make sweet love to it. Except I expressed this sentiment much more crudely.
And lastly:
(Formerly "News I Find Interesting") Here's a round up of recent items and links I found interesting but not necessarily worthy of a full entry of its own.
1. The woman who splits her time between London and New York, enjoys the official title of Lady, made over $100 million before marrying into the powerful Rothschild family announced she is endorsing McCain in part because she says Barack Obama is "an elitist." Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, you are no Lady. You are a silly hypocrite. [Thanks N]

One of my deep regrets in life is that I was never able to maintain the tongue of my motherland. Soon after I moved to the United States in my childhood I lost my fluency in Korean. Today I cannot read, write, speak, or understand Korean. At all. I blame this on the flawed pedagogy of the public school system. If only I could read Korean today I'd have amazing opportunities to work abroad as well as allow me to explore my heritage vis-a-vis native literature such as this:
What happens when the redneck owner, Chester Nelly decides to be in a commercial advertising his company's beer? The outtakes suggests that said owner will offend EVERYBODY, especially as he drinks more and more in between and during takes. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFPsaxdzyAQ]
Terrible. Haha.

I was pretty shocked to hear about the recent tragic airplane crash that killed four and critically injured DJ AM and drummer Travis Barker. I had previously highlighted their creative collaboration.
Amazingly at the moment, despite bad burns and injuries, a full recovery for both are expected. This accident however does give their song "Fix Your Face" which also samples Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," a particularly portentous and ominous undertone.

Wishing those guys the best recovery.
