People with Headphones

Two music videos I love, featuring people wearing headphones.

Very touching and sweet, "The First Day of my Life" by Bright Eyes.




Very funny and simple, "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" by Cake.

Airlines lose luggage AND android heads.

I was meandering through the internet and came across the name "Philip K. Dick," who is a novelist and short story writer whose works have been adapted to many films.
Examples include Next, Paycheck, Total Recall, Blade Runner, and A Scanner Darkly. If you don't know/haven't heard of any of these films, then it's because I am a huge nerd and you are not.

So I wanted to read more about him and went to the Wikipedia page of Philip K. Dick:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_k_dick

There, I found he had a creepy-as-hell android made in his likeness. Not so strange for a guy who wrote about alternate universes and crazy governmental control of society.

There was even a super creepy picture of this android:


In the description, it says an American West Airlines employee misplaced the head of the android in 2006, and it hasn't been found since. First luggage, then android heads? Those bastards.

The Package...Jin's Package

I haven't posted a lot on here lately, so I hope this makes up for it.

I was watching LOST, the episode "The Package" and I laughed out loud at this one scene....

Sun is in her hotel room, after a night with Jin. She hides him in the bathroom when two thugs knock at the door. After the guests see two champagne glasses, they suspect someone is there. They open the bathroom door and there is Jin, shirtless and not afraid to show it.




Hellllllooooooo Jin.

The more mysterious Europe

I was on stumbleupon.com, which takes you to random websites on the internet, and the first site it brought me to was for pictures of Europe. How timely!
(the site is http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2NUFRp/www.golberz.com/2010/03/breathtaking-photos-of-europe.html)

But of all the pictures they show, which are labeled as "breathtaking," I must say none of them look that special except this one, taken at night in the Czech Republic.



Doesn't this one just look more interesting and attractive than, say, this one:




I think the beauty is in the lights, the mystery, the intrigue that the first photo has over the second. I don't want to see a city for its buildings or monuments. I want to see it for its history, its people, its personality. And that, I believe, is what this first photograph eerily displays.
