when i was younger

duminda (23): when i was younger i was into jamiroquai
me (20): when i was younger i was a nirvana girl
gk and rosemary (senior client service managers): i like how they say 'when i was younger'
... so we duminda came to the conclusion that people are not allowed to say 'when i was younger' till they turn 23. but that's only cos it works in duminda's advantage.

so, back in the day ...

subway cricket

luke and i make saturdays at subway fun. here's a little game he and rushin made, we like to call it subway cricket. none of that car cricket stuff (i'll exlpain that in a second), this is the real thing, well as real as it can get at subway.
key:
1. the ball; made from paper towels and masking tape
2. the bat; a pipe tube thing
3. the wicket; wet floor sign
4. if you hit the ball and it lands on the stairs or hits the fridge doors - you're out
5. fielders; bin, crate, bucket x2

runs:
6: ball hits the back wall
4: ball hits the wall on the left hand side
4: ball rolls on the floor and reaches the back wall


that's subway cricket. with car cricket we stand out front and watch the cars. you get points depending on which cars pass the store on your turn. the rules for car cricket, which we don't really play anymore, are as follows:
points:
6: tram, ambulance, fire truck, limousine
4: truck, bus
1: normal car or a van
out: red car

"I like buying snacks from a vending machine because food is better when it falls. Sometimes at the grocery, I'll drop a candy bar so that it will achieve its maximum flavor potential." - mitch hedberg
"I want to get a job as someone who names kitchen appliances. Toaster, refridgerator, blender....all you do is say what the shit does, and add "er". I wanna work for the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute. Hey, what does that do? It keeps shit fresh. Well that's a fresher....I'm going on break." - mitch hedberg

death to polaroid photos


"After 60 years, the instantly gratifying, unpredictable nature (which is half the charm) of the instant photo produced by a Polaroid camera has come to an end. According to an article in the Washington Post on the weekend, Polaroid have announced that they will be shutting down all factories in the United States and abroad as the company abandons the much loved instant photo technology in favor of products for digital hungry world. The company will cease production of its film by next year.

Even though the technology is flawed, even though the photos are rarely in focus, even though the colours are sometimes screwy and even though the cameras are kind of bulky and no where near as portable as modern day digital cameras, there will be a gaping hole in the photography world with the absence of this technology. There's an element of surrender when it comes to using a polaroid that will be forever lost and although I'm sure there's still bucket loads of "Polaroid style" filters that will try to imitate the original aesthetic, it will never be the same. Upsets me." - lifelounge
