the year 2005...

jan 20th- gw bush inaugurated for 2nd term

feb- you tube was launched...where would we be without viral videos??

may 17th- Kuwaiti women are granted the right to vote...nice!

july 6th- 2012 Summer Olympics awarded to London....then criticism came about the graffiti-ish logo, i liked it!

oct 19- trials of Saddam Hussein begin... i knew of him since i was little, but didn't realize how "bad" a guy he was.

nov 30- French Surgeons carry out the first human face transplant...think this was that lady. she looked scary but it's quite a feat

(didn't know this: dec 31- Another second is added, 23:59:60, called a leap second, to end the year 2005. The last time this occurred was on June 30, 1998.)

... and a lot of death and bombs ensued. of course a lot of other stuff happened in '05 but a few things i thought i'd share

"From Viral Video to $30 Million Deal"

i was flipping through daily beats' week in culture and came across this video...

apparently fede alvarez, a film producer from uruguay, made the video of robots attacking w/ only $300 (and a year's worth of work), not bad at all! somehow director of spider-man saw this video and offered him $30 milli to do a feature film...can't wait to see what he can do w/ that much money! i've made a mental note to look out for a fede production.

david simon interview

courtesy of vice magazine, i came across the following (long) interview! as a fan of the wire i really appreciate dave's work so it was good to read this...didn't realize how much of a potty mouth he is. but his passion for his work really comes through:

read interview here

snoop on martha stewart?!

just a snippet, but apparently he wanted to make green brownies (go figure)...glad the clip was short bc it feels weird so not sure if i coulda watched the whole segment! in other news, her sweater is cute

millie jackson-slow tongue

& people talk about over-sexed music today...i have no words for this performance (she's talented though)

behind the scenes of the body issue

i know i'm EXTRA late bc this issue has been out, BUT i thought this video was super cool & worth sharing

wayne interview & bedrock

monique-wayne interview...monique sucks & he's like marble mouth w/ the mumbling. i love how the audience claps for everything do
