It's called Mario Twins. Yeah, you want to go to the site for it, idiot. For those of you that were interested in knowing more about the people responsible for the Mario Twins thing, this is a good start. Or if you just want to watch the new longer version of the Mario Twins you can do that too.

Girls are evil and here's the proof. You can't argue with math people.

"When a band starts out, it’s one thing, and then when you start making money it’s a completely different matter. People actually believe they are important just because they made all this money. I was really glad to know that I was still as miserable as I was before I made any money." - Nuno Bettencourt

Requiem for the Nintendo 64.

So how was everyone's Halloween? Hopefully all you kids had a lot more fun than I did. Nevertheless, there will be pictures up soon. Did anyone do anything fun? Though I can often be heard proclaiming that I "want fun", unfortunately last night fun seemed to avoid me like I was the carrier of some kind of fun-killing virus.

The band name is still up in the air. You should help.

"Time can move fast now that you're gone, Can't dwell in the past, what's done is done, Startin' over again, more or less, In my pursuit of happiness, Startin' over again, more or less, in my pursuit of happiness" - Nuno, "Pursuit of Happiness"

Happy Halloween everybody! I've done a little Halloween drawing of a vampire. Look at it before it destroys you.

"Yes, playing is for pleasure. We should have a pool. Make us one from the sky, I command it! Seriously, I do command it." - Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

My latest self portrait. You'll notice my head is enormous... just like in real life.

Andrew WK will be performing on an episode of Live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on either MTV or MTV2 tonight. I'll let you know the exact specifics as soon as I find out.

I couldn't quite figure this out, but maybe one of you is smarter than I am and will be able to. You have to have sound for it to work though.

Halloween fun for 2002 from Homestar Runner and the gang.

For those of you interested in the new Superman flick here's some more info.

Check out all these interesting figures and such about Animal Crossing.

I think one of Ed's best qualities is how he knows when to and when not to have more common sense than I do. Just a random observation. So what's new with you kids?

Heck yeah I'm up for a 700 million dollar Fantastic Four flick! It's cheap and it's alliteration.

Danny returns to solid gold quote prominence:
"Hold your breath while I pimp."
"It's freaky devil in there."

I can't think of a single reason I don't need this.

Affleck was da' bomb in "Phantoms". Now, he must stop a bomb in "The Sum of All Fears". That totally should have been the tagline for that flick. My thanks to CHUD for coming up with that.

Sometimes I wish I was allergic to some kinds of soap so then I could say things like, "No, don't get that kind of soap, I'm allergic to that kind." - Chris Haley (I thought of that in the shower)

I don't care what anyone says, my boy could be perfect as Superman! For God sake's look at this picture!! It might as well just say it's a picture of Clark and Lois!

I'd like to formally thank the Renegades of Phunk for adding Hip Today to their list of links. Hopefully, some day soon their music section will feature an interview with Edward and myself about our band. Speaking of which...

ROUND 3 of the "Name Our New Band" Poll is now up and running. Help name the next Def Leppard.

If you're looking forward to the new X-Men flick, you'll probably want to check out this first wave of pictures. Looks pretty cool to me.

In case it wasn't clear from my earlier post, I enjoyed The Ring. I certainly don't think it's as scary as some people are making it out to be, but it is pretty creepy. I will say that it has one of the best creepy scores I've ever heard. Hans Zimmer is to be commended. Also, I'm now suggesting that you go see Rules of Attraction. I think you'll either love it or hate it, no middle ground.

And now for a nice slice right out of my life by James Kolchalka...

So I saw "The Ring" this weekend. I didn't think it was that scary.. I mean it's just a ring, right?

I also saw Rules of Attraction. It was good. I'm not saying you should necessarily see it, but I liked it... so do whatever you like with that information.

If you like Adult Swim, here's a bit of good news.


take the Which Munster Are You? Quiz

Wow, after having a not so great day the last day I worked, and leaving with a not so good feeling about working there, I had a day today that left me feeling like I couldn't like working there anymore. It's a good feeling. So yeah, my job satisfaction is back at a very high level... which is good.

There's been an influx of new visitors here to Hip Today as of late, and I'd like to say I hope you all keep coming around.

Though some of you have already discovered as much, I've added a new photo album to the Gallery. Check it out, won't you?

Listening to @ this second:
"Hey
I would really like to talk with you
Girl
Do you have the time to stop
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
today
I'll stay
Not walk away" - Travis, "All I Wanna Do Is Rock"

Get a healthy dose of Mattitude.

For some reason over the past few days I've really been considering buying an Xbox (though I think I shall take to calling it an "Xbob" from now on, as that name makes me happy in a way "Xbox" never could). I'm not sure what has lead to this sudden urge to get one though, because I really hate the things. I'm totally anti-Xbox! The only thing I can figure is Microsoft has some kind of subliminal hypnotizin' business going on that I'm at the mercy of. I guess what I'm getting at is if you see me trying to buy an Xbox, please stop me.

Come on now, honestly, that's just too funny. I defy you to tell me I'm wrong, because you can't.. because it is.

These look awesome if you ask me... which I know you would have.

"Yeah, you like that, idiot."... "It's called Mario Twins, I want to play it."

This is hilarious.

If you like biographies or the Fantastic Four, then this is for you.

Kevin Smith is getting a street named after him in New Jersey. Good for him.

For those interested in seeing my new ink, click here to see a picture I took of it in the mirror. I look pretty goofy.

"I asked Bubba Sparxxx to sing...er...rap on my new record, and he said I wasn't "street" enough. Give me a break... He's a white rapper. From the suburbs. Talk about gettin' ugly..." - Butch Walker

The 4th and final album of pictures from the Florida trip are now available for your viewing pleasure.

For those of you that I didn't hang out with directly after having it done, I got another tattoo over the weekend. This brings my grand total up to three. This one is definitely my favorite if how aesthetically pleasing it is to me is the only factor involved. I'll try to get a picture of it up as soon as possible if any of you want to see what it looks like.

Listening to @ this second: "Troubled Times" by Fountains of Wayne
"Maybe one day soon, it'll all come out, how you dream about each other sometimes // With the memory of, how you once gave up, but you made it through the troubled times"

One of the best reasons I've seen so far to invest in a region free DVD player, the UK only Ed Wood Collector's Edition.

The 9 words that changed my life: "When it's time to party we will party hard." - Andrew WK

First things first, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our very own Edward Stanley!

Math is fun!

So as I'm leaving class this morning, I hear three kids talking about what prescription type drugs they're about to be doing that afternoon. How familiar they were with pharmeceutical names I normally only hear on commercials or in the doctor's office really creeped me out. The world kinda scares me sometimes these days.

The language is a little rough, but the Ozma love is very apparent.

A great review of The Transporter can be found here. I hope all of you will be seeing it tonight as I hope to be doing.

I'm still waiting for someone to drop me a line about the Halloween ideas.

"I would, however, like to communicate something very important to those readers who do creative work of any kind, and I use creative in a sense so broad that it includes the production of a sandwich. You do need a lawyer, and you don't know sh*t about contracts. I know you might think you do, because you're so f*cking smart and everything. People who write contracts are operating on a level that you can't even imagine, and just because you know all the words they're using doesn't mean you understand their ramifications when they're all put a certain way. These people make traps out of words, not just metaphorical traps but real-ass, Goddamned traps that can cinch around you and steal your work and make you never want to write another word so long as you draw breath." - Tycho @ Penny Arcade

Sometimes it seems like this rain is never going to stop... but then again, sometimes rain can be nice. Especially at night when it's quiet. But not so much when you're having to walk in it to get to class.

A great review of the upcoming Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones DVD.

Listening to @ this second: "Die, Die My Darling" by Metallica (I can't stop listening to it for some reason.)

Listening to @ this second: "Between You and Me" by The Ataris
"I'm happy for you, I'm sure that he really loves you, But it breaks my heart to know I can't hold you.. It's just sad to think I'll never get the chance to say you're mine.. But everytime you hear this song you'll know you made a mark on my heart, and my mind.."

"And if I tell you all the truth, would you promise not to cry? I prefer it back inside, It's nothing that you did or said, I'm just kinda scared I just heard life is a fatal disease" - Nuno, "Swollen Princess"

You kids may have noticed the new front page picture. You may have also noticed that it's the greatest thing ever! In case you don't know what's going on, it shows me and Matt Pott (Hip Today's first Australian fan) hijacking Yoshi from the Mario Bros. Matt's also responsible for the art in said picture. It's pretty awesome.

If anyone wants to get me this so I can have yet another coat to help me look like Brodie, please feel free.

Speaking of looking like people, has anyone got any costume ideas for Halloween yet? Drop me a line and let me know if you know what you're going as or if you've got any ideas for what I should go as.
