New Look: “Most Boring Yet,” Says Outraged Public
February 7th, 2010I guess the blog redesign (version 1.0) is complete. It’s definitely missing something (neon colors?)… but then again, aren’t we all?
123 PEOPLE
December 21st, 2009Akemi alerted me to the website 123people.com … there you can see what the internet knows about you. Less disturbing than just odd, really. My favorite part is the “tag cloud,” which looks like this for me:
Discovery Indymedia Martian I Feel Fine BRAIN VACATION Earth Revitalized Loews Space program Visions of space Harrington Conquest Fifty years Optimism Art Spirit San Francisco Human colonies San diego Space travel Negativity
Aside from specifics (Harrington Arts was a gallery where I had a show, Loews = ?), I think this about covers it. My favorite is “Negativity.”
EVERYTHING BECOMES A DINOSAUR
October 12th, 2009
I am stripping all the vinyl and paint from my car. I am also stripping all the plastic adornments. I will be re-painting the car with primer and then melting down the plastic pieces and molding them into the shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which I will then place on the hood of my car. Then I will be driving the car to Detroit and taking photographs and recordings. Those will then be used to produce a book about dinosaurs, which will be available in audio format and premiered through the tape deck of my car stereo upon return to Chicago.
Also I’ve started a publication called APATHETIC Today, a one-page zine that comes out approximately every day (Tue.-Fri.). If you want to subscribe, let me know. I’ll start posting the images here, and I might even re-design E-WASTE in the coming days, so prepare to say farewell to your favorite masthead on the internet.

DISCO’S OUT, MURDER’S IN
September 9th, 2009
Home sweet home. Akemi and I agree that the clock really ties the room together (dude). The living room is done, and school has begun. But all I want to do is smash those drums all day, every day. Don’t get me wrong, schoolin’ is pretty great already, just one week in, but I’ve always felt a strong connection with loud noises.
As you can see, my bedroom is far from complete. Note the lack of clock on wall. My sock collection, however, continues to thrive. I’m convinced that the floor is more comfortable than a bed could ever be.
11 months without real structure or purpose in life will do weird things to a person. It can be a struggle convincing myself that certain everyday things are actually meaningful (we’re buying organic dish soap, class starts at 9am); conversely, it’s pretty easy to remind myself how beautiful life can be.

School starts tomorrow! My bike got stolen today!
THREE THINGS AT ONCE
July 2nd, 2009College math problem: If Eric used to cartoon for the Guardian, and he has a full collection of cartoons which he is slowly re-releasing to an indifferent public, how much does each cartoon suck if presented in a set of three instead of one at a time?

Things that are good about my comics:
-the sparse, oppressive rooms these characters inhabit
-their ability to generate noses when necessary to joke about one’s stench
-all women are just males with ponytails and lumps on their chest
