Earth Vibrations and BAC Weirdness
I felt my first earthquake the other night and it was frucking strange. “Unsettling,” as the lady on the news said. I mean, isn’t an earthquake unsettling by definition? Okay, anyway… I was standing in my living room when the entire house started swaying. Roomie numero dos said, matter-of-factly, “Earthquake. We should go outside.”
Lung Capacity Of A Blue Whale?
Crrrrazy:
The Drifter in VOGUE
Rob Machado and Jon Paskowitz gave Blake Lively and Hamish Bowles some very chic surf lessons for the June issue of VOGUE. Read the [abridged] story here.
Small Apartments, Lots of Stuff
One of the funny things about living in New York is the way the smallest apartments can accommodate tons and tons of shit personal belongings.
Other funny things include angry bums, happy drunks, vegan chicken nuggets on restaurant menus, wind tunnels, $14 six packs, $1 shots, incognito celebrities, cats in bars, 9% sales tax, taxi drivers who disregard red lights, PORK ROLL VOID (more like tragic), the facility of spying on your neighbors, the fact that your neighbors (and you) are shameless… I could keep going, but let’s go back to the apartment thing.
Petition Against SUP?
This is an actual petition against SUP, which I find hilarious. Then again, I haven’t experienced much trouble with stand-ups out here; maybe Cali is overrun with them? The petitioners want to designate certain beaches as SUP-friendly (and banish them from the rest), mostly for safety reasons. They have 51 signatures so far, and only 1,949 until they reach their goal. Are you going to sign it? Tell me why/why not.
The WAX Research Continues
The other day, I thought to myself, Hmm… there’s probably not a book dedicated entirely to surf wax, but why don’t I just check Amazon- WHAT?!? Turns out, there is. I couldn’t find a copy of Surfboard Wax: A History at the NYPL, but my local Jersey library is kindly holding one for me.
Thanks to those of you who weighed in on what type of wax you use. As for the rest of you slackers: the link is still up at the top of the page. If you vote for “other,” digame [por favor] what “other” means. If you have any other thoughts on surf wax, comment away; I’d love to hear what’s going through your head, no matter how weird.
Please Take My Wax Poll
Look – Mick Fanning apparently likes Sex Wax. What kind of wax do you use? Click on the poll above and tell me!
P.S. This is research (and highly scientific). Gracias.
A Centaur in Jersey?
So, I ran into Sterling Spencer at the store today:
Don’t ask.
