Handjobs are not a volume business
doug: I can claim to be classy all I wish, but… Right now I’m watching a Christmas-themed episode of COPS* that begins in Portland and when it’s over the new episode of Jersey Shore is starting. There’s just something I find too interesting about transgressive trash. In the photo above is a prostitute named Kristie that the police know by name, who despite being of legal age was mistaken for...

“Getting that feeling of a build-up before a huge life-changing idea crosses my...”
– Me, on Twitter a moment ago. I feel really excited for something, and I have no idea why or what it is! I hope the feeling never stops. (via doug)

Plans for the evening
doug: A quick round of housework then 4-5 solid hours of productive work. Fuck To-Do lists, what’s on my Don’t-Do list tonight? - Television or movies* - Cooking dinner** - Twitter/Facebook/IM/Email/Google Reader/Tumblr/et c.*** * Wanna tell your grandchildren about the great shows you watched some random Thursday evening? Probably not. ** Prep time + cleaning time + eating time. Anyone can...

It'll weigh a couple pounds
doug: My first publicly available photo book, Cartography I-III, is on its way to the printers. Total size is around 860MB. The next couple nights will be spent figuring out what I want to do for art prints as well, and when it’s all ready I’ll post more about them here. It looks like whether I wanted it to be or not, the book is going to end up expensively priced. The high price is the...

Coin Slot
doug: “Coin Slot” is not a slang term I was familiar with. I was looking in Google Images for an old arcade machine-style coin slot, what it gave me were pictures of female ass crack. BLEH! I feel saddened for anyone who has fallen so out of love with the rest of a person that the only remaining attractive part of a gender is their ass crack.

“New Clipse!”
– Till The Casket Drops is now on the streets! It’s been available since yesterday, but it’ll be out on retail on the 8th. So far it’s amazing. (via doug)

Bluebeards Beard Saver →
doug: This was recommended by a good website as both a beard softener and moisturizer for the impossible-to-get-to skin beneath the beard. I’ve added it to my Amazon cart because I know I should have it, but I can’t justify a shipment for a single item. Some day, some day.

doug: I don’t know much about the movie, but I do know that all the advance reviews seem to say it is the real deal. That it absolutely lives up to the hype. James Cameron had a good quote about the point in making things so grand and so ambitious is that even if you fail you still fail far ahead of anyone else’s wildest dreams.

On Andrew W.K.
doug: If you don’t particularly care for awesome things, you can skip this post. Simply, if you want to feel great about life, you’re a fan of Andrew W.K. All of them. It’s more or less been known for a few years but it’s finally been announced, by the man himself, that Andrew W.K. is more or less a construct. I’ll leave you to follow the link and actually watch the videos/interview linked...

On Andrew W.K. (from Jesse Thorn)
doug: Continuing the discussion, Jesse has posted his thoughts: I know Andrew personally and have known him for years. We’re not close friends or anything, but we keep in touch. He’s been a guest on my radio show four times, and once on my podcast-only show. I had his first EP, which he released independently. I have a friend who went to high school with him. This corporate construct /...

doug: I’m off to photo a concert (well, four concerts and a benefit, technically). I’ll be back to process photos after 1 AM. I’m fully expecting some awesome tumblr posts to appear in the meantime. You’ve all been doing good work, but I don’t feel like we’re working as a team any more. Let’s fix it.

I trust that you're all asleep by now
doug: Letting the photo card transfer to my computer. There’s roughly 2 1/2 hours of that left before I can even start editing the photos. I’ll leave the mystery up to you whether my work ethic in always desiring a fast photo turn-around trumps my desire for sleep and to stop the ringing in my ears.

doug: No, seriously, fuck corporate clone-speak. This fluffy, almost-meaningless noise has been bothering me a lot lately. Why can’t people just be human and say “following up from before” or “To answer your question” P.S. Touch base with me on that so we can develop a process for solutions

A new brand of lipstick
doug: I’m running Q4’2009 online revenue reports this week. In November a new front face of our website launched after many months of work. Designs and ideas I had for it in November 2008 that seemed severe (removing nearly 2/3 of the content in the Membership area for example) were finally seeing the light of day a year later and no one really knew how it would go apart from feeling that “At...

Somewhere, orphans weep
doug: Lucas wasn’t kidding. He has purchased RADGRANDPA.com It was to be Rachel and Doug’s Grand Photographic Arts, but I guess RADDAMNMYBIGMOUTHPA.com is still (momentarily) available.

“Next year is to be known as 20X”
– Me I’m claiming it now. Not only is it 2010, and stupid, it means 20X as in 20X whatever happened before. You like ice cream? 2010 is 20X the ice cream you like. You hate shoelaces becoming untied? 2010 is 20X that. Everything, 20X, 2010, let’s do this. (via doug)

RA**RA*DP*.com
doug: I’m buying another domain tonight. The name of it is so good that: I cannot believe it hasn’t been taken already (hence the need to get home to verify through my registrar), and if it’s available, I feel the need to omit characters so no one else takes it before I can get it It’s an acronym, and two words, and something we all wish we had. With this domain, I’ll be in current ownership...
