  • Totally rotten news of the day…So Berkeley’s historic upper Sproul Plaza got renovated last year. Turns out, millions of mice lived in the the once crumbling asphalt. After the renovation, the little shits got homelessed and decided to move to Sproul Hall (main administration building), MLK (where the new hardly fought for Multicultural Student Center just opened.), Cesar Chavez, and yes, Eshleman, where I spend a reasonable amount of time in the hell-like basement. No air circulation, frightful smells, and now rats? rats.
  • I don’t care if this is real or not. J-Rocc rang me up enough times at fat beats (and actually remembered me from the 99 LA Regional ITF battle that I foolishly entered. Summer after ninth grade, sigh, we all had such lofty dreams. I still do that routine though. Comedy.) that i got his back. Beat Junkies Sound: mason gwan be dead.
  • Scientificalness…Today’s Topic? The Cold Death:
      Stars are very hot, and molecules in space are very cold.  Eventually the stars will stop burning, and eventually everything in the Universe may reach the same temperature.  By keeping track of everything, we can calculate what that temperature is.  If we ignore the expansion of the Universe then that temperature turns out to be –270 C. Because the Universe is expanding, the eventual temperature may be even lower.  Philosophers have called this the “cold death” of the Universe, and the thought of it gets some people depressed.  And being cold doesn’t necessarily mean life will be uninteresting.  A detailed analysis made by physicist Freeman Dyson showed that even as the Universe gets very cold, life can continue, and the complexity of organized thoughts could get greater and greater.  That might take additional evolution, but we have hundreds of billions of years for that.

      What would life be like in such a universe?  What would the descendants of humans look like?  Some people estimate that, because of the extreme cold, that in order to remain complex active creatures, they would have to be very large, perhaps as large as planets are now; maybe even bigger….from my Physics for Future Presidents Class

  • Question: What do you do when a girl comes up to you (after a meeting of full of weird glances) and says: “Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Rivers Cuomo when you look absolutely NOTHING, and i really mean nothing, like him?
  • Someone asked me what the hot singles of the moment were right now. Since University of California, BULLSHIT is a deft lifestealer, I didnt really know (having not been round for the feeding frenzy promo dump days at B-Side)…But here is what has been Oft Rotated at home tables:
      1. Dirtbag-”Slow Down Lil Buddy”
      2.Boss Howg-”Worldwide Renegadez”
      3. King Tee-”Bus Dat Ass”
      4. Lil Scrappy-”Head Bussa”
      5. Crime Mob-”Stilletos” (i cherish my promo…but now its the b-side of nuck if you buck..WHAT?)
      6. Daniel Wang-”Pistol Oderso”
      7. Leisure Process-”Love Cascade”
      8. Dino-”In the City”
      9. Jefferson Airplane/Trick Daddy mix
      10. EA Ski-”Ride”
  • Kara Saun is madame focused. She and Jenny are kinda unstoppable.
  • Toys, toys, and more toys. I feel fortunate to have grown up in what seems like the last gasp of toys (ones that lack complex microprocessors, anyway). Having an older brother ensured that I would have a grip of plastic shit to throw around. Now, 6 year olds now just care about ringtones and shit. There was a creepy college age dude that i think lived by himself not two blocks from me when i was in the 5th grade. Disobeying my mom, a bad influence friend (whose father was a sportscaster on LA news..guess who and you win something) took me to this guys place.
    There, in this house was a stockpile of Star Wars toys that was unmesswithable. From him i obtained a ridiculously fresh Jawa figure. It is somewhat difficult to admit Star Wars fandom post-super specially shitty edition and the attack of Natalie and Hayden, but here i am. I think he was a neo-Nazi. (Via O-dub.

  • Anybody know about this book? Melanie recommends and it looks interesting. Just a little nervous about reading pidgin, something that always kinda rubs me the wrong way.
  • and finally (until i wake up a few hours from now and plant my ass in front of a PC at work):

      INVENTOS: Hip Hop Cubano

      A must-see independent film on Cuban Hip Hop!
      Thursday February 3rd, 2005 6:00-9:00 P.M.
      MLK Student Union East Pauley Ballroom
      FREE EVENT! Open to the Community

      Includes film screening, Q&A with the young Bay Area director/U.C. Berkeley graduate Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi, Photo Exhibit, Poetry Reading/Open Mic and Reception: Free Food & good music!

      Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley and Tish School of the Arts at New York University. Eli’s first full-length film documentary, “Inventos: Hip Hop Cubano”, premiered in Havana, Cuba and has toured successfully across the U.S.

      Cuban Hip Hop provides a unique insight into the realities and politics of contemporary Cuba. Experience this as Inventos follows some of the pioneers of this musical movement to their homes, the stage and as they travel abroad for the first time. Inventos embodies the true spirit of Hip Hop, which is to build something that is powerful and useful out of whatis seemingly impossible. Just as Hip Hop in the U.S. began as a form of creative self expression bringing awareness to oppressive social conditions, Cuban Hip Hop demonstrates the innovative and indestructible spirit born from a people suppressed by the U.S. embargo on Cuba. Inventos serves as a reminder of the political consciousness through which this music was created. Thirty years after its conception, and in spite of commercialization, Hip Hop culture continues to give voice to people who refuse to be silenced, ignored and cut off from the larger society. The film shows how both cultures reflect similar social struggles and if brought together, could transcend cultural barriers and build a collective community dedicated to spreading messages of truth and empowerment globally. Jacobs-Fantauzzi’s film rekindles an essence of the old school, which will inspire and reawaken the eyes of our present generations.

    p.s. guess who is gonna be DJing pre- and post-movie.

  • a girls gone wild commercial just came on and it successfully did to my privates the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen i think. Does that mean i am gay? Naw, it just means that most dudes are sick.
