weird.

the internet says that iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad nearly got assassinated today. but the iranian government is covering up the story.

LONDON—Iran denied a report from an Arab network on Wednesday that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's convoy was targeted by an explosive device.

Al Arabiya said the blast took place in Hamadan, about 280 kilometers southwest of Tehran, as Mr. Ahmadinejad was about to address a crowd. It said the president was not hurt in the explosion but that a number of people were injured. The network said an attacker was arrested on the spot, adding that the grenade had hit a car carrying journalists and presidential staff.

But PressTV quoted an official in Mr. Ahmadinejad's media office denying any attack took place. An Iranian diplomat in Europe said he had no information on any attack. (via)

2 stories.

story number one:

i just got up to go to the bathroom, and i passed this girl who was playing SOLITAIRE on her computer. there are an infinite number of better ways to kill time on your computer. for instance, reading gawker. or playing farmville, which is what she's doing 90% of the times that i go to the bathroom.

note: this is the second time i've seen someone playing solitaire in here.

i could go for some snood right now, though.

story number two:

on my way back from the bathroom, i stopped in the kitchen to get a sprite-on-the-rocks. i opened the freezer and was pulling out some ice cubes, and noticed that my co-worker was standing next to me, waiting for me to finish so he could get in the fridge. it was a bit awkward, as the cubes were slippery and i was nervous and they kept slipping out of my fingertips. it took about ten seconds to collect enough cubes, during which he was completely silent. until.

he broke the silence with this gem: "you like ice, huh?!?!!?"

the end.

arcade fire

the new album is 12 biscuits. i'm serious. the theme is clear: the suburbs. and they attack it pretty relentlessly, with judgment and contempt, but also nostalgia. i can relate. here are a couple faves after about 5 listens:

arcade fire - ready to start
arcade fire - sprawl II (mountains beyond mountains)

"sometimes i wonder if the world's so small, that we can never get away from the sprawl."

y'all git it.

scream 4 is filming

this is especially relevant as i am currently watching scream 3 on showtime. this is a leaked picture of the ghostface killer on set in the new movie. woohoo! ten years after scream 3, neve campbell, david arquette, and courteney cox are all back reprising their roles. exciting.

congrats gaga. you really earned it.

"I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I'm even more proud it's an unlucky number; 13. A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for 3 reasons: To make loud music, gay videos, and cause a damn raucous. Thank You MTV!"

you're going to make it. next time.
