A car full of “zombies” was seen swerving eastbound on I-84 when it had crashed and rolled over onto its top last night around 9:30pm.

“…people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims’ injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.”

It’s nowhere near Halloween, so I’m wondering what type of costume party these people were going to! An actual party, strange fetish, or orgy of undeads…?!? Who knows. It’s Portland, and this is one example of why you see bumper stickers everywhere saying “Keep Portland Weird!”

Get your tickets now! “Deep Green” has it’s world premiere here in Portland on June 22, 2010 at the Bagdad Theater. It’s a documentary that has been in the works for over 3 years, which brings to light an urgent situation related to our ecosystem. The documentary shows us how to decrease our carbon footprint by being aware of our resources and thinking in terms of reusable energy. I had a chance to meet briefly with the Director-Writer-Producer, Matt Briggs, and he is a very positive and friendly person. His profound knowledge on the subject matter leave me with no doubt that this will be a very informative and fantastic documentary. I am pretty excited to see this and will probably grab my tickets asap!

To learn more about “Deep Green”, please visit the official Deep Green Movie Website.

It appears that Japan’s job market is somewhat distressed as ours. With the influx of laid off workers over the past few years, there is a huge applicant pool where the competition is super high. Some people are starting to be creative, much like Mr. Yu Osumi from Japan, whom puts himself up for auction on one of Japan’s biggest online auction services. His auction listing is titled “Priority Interview Rights for the Transfer of the Personal Business of ‘Yu Osumi.’”

But what’s the most common fear?? Spiders! I am one of an arachnophobe myself and have been played pranks on numerous times. Remember though, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.” Here is a wonderful short film called “Spider” by Nash Edgerton & David Michôd.

Here, Ben Folds Five is performing in front of a live crowd while unsuspecting chatters connect. Very amusing, especially with the guy on the john.

This Ford Taurus is slated to replace the aged Crown Victoria around September 2011. The Dodge Charger is already a beast, but this might be a close competitor in terms of performance. I guess this means we wont really have a chance outrunning the police anymore huh? =p
