    Macy’s Christmas Inappropriation 

    Special Friends that come at you Nice Santa... Good Santa Giant Sized - From Larry Potter and the Detainee of Guantanamo

    Macy’s got it wrong in the windows big time this year. It’s shrill, a bit more than just Christmas creepy, and derivative.

    After the scary Macy’s parade we thought that we should go and check out the famous Macy’s Christmas windows in Herald Square.

    This sprawling fiasco of a concept is described as Santa Land, It’s several windows, featuring creepy puppets and Christmas “themes” clearly designed to give children nightmares.

    Cloning 

    People often say to us “Why clone Adam?”

    I will tell you why I enjoy cloning Adam, it is so that I have company whilst he is at work. Otherwise my home life would be dull, dull. Having an Adam clone around is much better. I can boss him for a start.  

    We have had a few problems with our first clone however. My cloning chamber is not quite airtight and a small purple Lego brick got into it somehow when we did our first experiment. 

    The result was this

    Me so soft and strong 

    We have named him Retardo Block. As you can see, he is rugged like Adam, and brawny. But unfortunately, he’s not too bright. He is also overfriendly.

    He dislikes fire, man and soup.

    He is suspicious of sockmonkeys.

    He likes the Empire State Building.

    Me so shy and pretty.

    In Game Real Life

    When I used to have a computer at home I played a game called City of Villains. The view from Hoboken makes me feel like I’m in game, in real life.

    Views from the Train 

    Bridge Tower Factory

    There is a wide swathe of industrial land between Hoboken and my job. It is due to this and the fact that there aren’t any ridable roads that I can only use my bicycle in the most insignificant way for commuting. These pictures a pretty representative of what people think of when they think of New Jersey.

      Personally, I quite like this kind of landscape! I’ve always had a bit of a thing for Pylons, girders and the like since I was very small indeed. Makes me think of Kraftwerkian soundscapes and the 70′s but in a kind of cosy way despite the supposedly harsh and stark reality of it.
      Can’t you take your bike on the train and use it the other end then?
      Was the collection of software I sent you OK?

    Happy Thanksgiving! 

    I got very confused in the picture book fancy fresh Hoboken grocery store called Sobseys. It has a very good reputation here, and looks like something nostalgic straight out of a Capra movie, with it’s gourds and decorations and warmth of feeling. As I was choosing something for dinner, everyone around me was frantically buying thanksgiving things, huge organic Turkeys, good fruit and veg, Handwritten signs said ‘Pies on order’ and the handmade pies were in little and big boxes on a shelf at the back of the shop, tied with string and with customers names written on them.

      I hope you had a nice thankyougiving?
      By the way, if you haven’t seen it yet, I would recommend going to see Borat. I am still laughing and I went three weeks ago. Igor and Jonas are obsessed with it, as is Tobi, Bruce and me!

      This year my wife decided to have a dry run thanksgiving day to test out her recipes. We soaked the bird in a brine solution she got at William Sonoma it really kept it moist. OMG, the turkey was so good and I get to do it again in a few days!

    Sci Fi dating agency 

    I'll kiss you in the Church

    http://www.trekpassions.com/

    About trekking time too I say.

    We have several friends who are single sci-fi fans and it really fracks me off that they have to put up with inferior non sci-fi interested hu-mans.

    Not anymore.

    If you happen to be one of our sci-fi single friends I urge you to commence your search for your perfect other-unit online right now. I mean what is the worst thing that could happen?

    Alien lady-man could suck out your intenstines via your mouth? What again?
