been busy all this week, doing a mostly blogging-related project, as it turns out. so my own has sat idly by. what’s up?

this new kanye/daft punk video is a neat piece of film for a mostly just okay song. kanye’s one of the coolest mofo’s on the planet (those glasses! holy shit), daft punk are digital gods, so this collaboration should have blown my mind. i think the problem is that the song itself lacks any real moment of bigness or release. it’s just all sheen and no passion, totally missing the part that makes you want to get up and dance like the amazing trumpets on ‘testify’ from the last album, still his best single, i think.

saw superbad last weekend too (even snuck in some *ahem* beverages to help us enjoy the show, which turned out to be 100% perfect for the movie’s story) and meant to review it at length. thinking on it more though, there’s not a lot that needs to be said: it’s a hilarious and honest high school movie. if you think you’ll like it based on the other apatow crew’s movies or any of the trailers, you’re right, you will have a very good time laughing with these dudes. think i still liked knocked up slightly better though, perhaps because i’m a grown up now?

also picked up and started diving in to bioshock (holy shit!), and finished up a book i’ve been reading (excellent read), but i can get into those things more later.
