You may or may not have heard that Hollywood is doing a movie on Biggie Smalls. But, who will play the part of the famous dead rapper? Over the weekend there was a casting call for the main part in NYC. Around 100 people showed up, which to be honest does not sound like that much. Anyway, NyTimes has a slideshow of some of the candidates. My pick is above. (Thanks Hallie!)
There is something really wrong about 5000 birds in a car, or why you would have that many. What desire would you need to do something like this? Is it art? Were they captured in Italy? Possibly Venice? It’s the same old story, drive your pet out into the country and let him go…… Is that what’s happening here? A lot of questions.
Over the weekend the enablist had the pleasure of being in Los Angeles. Moments before the departing flight back east, I was able to stop by an incredible exhibit at REDCAT in the Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall. The exhibit to speak of was, Advanced Mature Work, by Modern Art master, Barry Mcgee. If you live anywhere within a 200 mile radius, go see it. So dope.
As of Thursday, retailers have sold more Nintendo Wii videogame consoles than Microsoft(MSFT) Xbox 360s, despite the latter videogame console being available a year longer, a tracking firm said.
While not confirmed by either company, gaming metrics Web site Vgchartz.com said retailers have sold 10.57 million Wiis, and 10.51 million Xbox 360s. Both totals are about two and a half times the 4.32 million Sony PlayStation 3s sold.
Nov 19, 2006 “Launching right after the much-vaunted and technically sophisticated PlayStation 3 is a brave move for Nintendo, which is playing catch-up after losing dominance of the home console market to Sony in the mid-90s.”-MSNBC
Continuing our Star Wars theme, here is the picture of the day. Enjoy!
This was announced in July but, I have to say this would have been the best gift ever when I was 10! Now that I am an adult it would still be the best gift ever but, I don’t know if I could wear it out of the house. Maybe to a convention?

Gene Parmesan’s brother, Chester Copperpot, arrived on the East Coast last night. With him came our favorite indulgence, rattlesnake tequila. Bought in Mexico out of a barrel, rattlesnake tequila tastes like cinnamon and is smoother than a glass of water. The key ingredient is a rattlesnake that is chopped up fresh and thrown into a vat of whatever white tequila is available at the time. Good stuff.
