4. Be passionate about all the things you do
5. You are your own best friend
6. Everything is relative
7. Be honest in everything you do
8. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen
9. Don't think whether you can or can't, think how and when
10. Don't be a tightass
11. Ignorance is bliss

Star Wars Vintage Figs Wishlist
Hasbro has been re-releasing old Star Wars action figurines as part of their vintage series; currently in Australia is wave 2 which consists of characters from Revenge of the Sith. Wave 3 will be out shortly and will consist of bros from Return of the Jedi. Already have my eye on two of them 
Worst thing is guessing when they'll be arriving in stores.

Google Android Mini Collectibles Series 2!
A second series has been announced, after a ridiculously popular first series run. This Green Machine has a blog post full of awesome pictures of the first series.
The second series will feature artists including Andrew Bell, Gary Ham, Doktor A and a few from the folk behind the Android team at Google, huzzah! Won't be out until sometime in the first quarter of 2011 so there is only a teaser banner.
The good news is a standard 3" vinyl figurine will be available in November in limited quantities. Sexy beast, ain't it? Looking at between AUD$10-$15 each.
And to top it off, a Do-It-Yourself one will be available for you to customise. Also at 3" and will be disassemble-able for easier decoration.
Will be stocking these via Klaus und Sven

I Can Has Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh’s TedxSeattle Talk
After news broke that Cheezburger Network's Ben Huh was offering to buy the ailing Reddit, it was natural to investigate what role Ben Huh plays and what he did to capitalise on something I'd dare say is phenomenal on the internet: lolcats (cat memes). Reading through his blog, he posted up a talk he did at a Ted conference in Seattle around April about the "19 debts" he owed himself; i.e. his 19 goals he has set himself out to do.

Spotless – short by Jessica Nilsson
Directed by Swedish director Jessica Nilsson, caught this one at Flickerfest two years ago at a best-of compilation screening. It's pretty morbid, but everything about the pace, the music, the vintage film filter and the fact that it made very little sense made this a crowd favourite. Towards the end there is a cat on a piano. Yes.

It's a good idea to be inspired by your favourite music.

Best Coast Boyfriend
This song's getting a few rotations on Triple J and featured on a lot of music blogs. And there's a good reason for that: it's mighty catchy and dreampoppy, reminiscent of a less noisy 80s shoegazer thing combined with a drop of the Cardigans. Combine and picture the following words: teenage yearning, lazy summer, weed & cats, drone. I've an unfortunate gut feeling this is going to be a one-off buzzband, so it' really up to the rest of the album and what they plan to do next; but Boyfriend is currently on a bit of a repeat on my winampz.
Front lady Bethany Cosentino said that listeners can expect the following...
“...songs about summer and the sun and the ocean and being a lazy creep...”
They can be found here as well:

Plasmo – a 5min clay animation where an adorable alien sacrifices himself to save a planet and declares his undying love for his gf. Epic.
How can so much drama, selflessness, a beautiful soundtrack, poignancy and a silly bit of humour be packed into a 4 minutes and 37 seconds clay animation?
Plasmo, a little alien, risks his life by flying his spacecraft into an oncoming comet to deflect it. In doing so, the core of a certain planet gets filled by a naturalistic/ forest-like utopia. In his last seconds, he sends a photo of himself and Pasty, as a gesture that she was probably the last thing on his mind before he hurls himself and his spaceship into the comet.

Some favourite SDCC 2010 Toy Exclusives
Comic Con; the last stage boss of all pop culture conventions. And like last stage bosses, they contain a lot of pretty neat stuff, like toy exclusives. Picked out the following from a recent emailout.
Of course, none of these are ever going to reach me, though if I had to pick one, that Fafi noir one looks pretty neat.

Bill Murray be chill y’all
A few weeks ago I tweeted about a chillwave band (I'm still uncomfortable with using this term, but since it's the only term most people can relate to to describe the genre of music...) under the alias, Chill Murray. I heard about them on triple j when they were talking about their SXSW experience, but hipsterrunnoff has it covered pretty well.
One thing I'm pretty confused about is this: if they are so chill, how come their music is not available? I want to purchase/download it onto my mp3 player and share it with my friends and all, but alas, it's not publicly available other than through a stream through the myspace or muxtape. It is not chill to load a page everytime I want to listen to cool stuff.
And it is pretty clever of them to ride off Bill Murray's awesome branding, because he is the godfather of hipsters. ESPECIALLY with all the little flowers on his beard. Maybe we can expect guys to start wearing flowers in their beards.
The movie which revived Bill Murray's movie career, made Scarlett Johanssen's and gave shoegazer music a new brand and visual representation.
Bill 'Groundhog day, Ghostbusting ass' Murray!
Anyway, irregardless, because "I'm so chill", I'm going to send them some love their way. Also because I have a man-crush on Bill Murray.
N.B. Talking like altbroz and all is a serious craft. I can't keep up.

Ewok Karaoke Video
I shared this on my twitter the other day, but I'm still not over it. There is something fundamentally right about EVERYTHING in the video; the lyrics, the ridiculously cheesy background images/ video, the complete disregard to how uninterpretable it is. Oh and there is a wookie on a guitar halfway through the video.
Celebrate the love!
Yeah, they actually say that. Tear-jerking stuff, eh?

The Alpha60 Bill Tee
Spotted this neat fella in Angus Black, a little boutique in Fortitude Valley during my recent trip to Brisbane.
Was one step away from getting it until I realised the shirt cut didn't do it for me. Don't you hate it when you come across interesting designs, but poor shirt cuts? T_T

Nightmare in Jeremyville dunny
One of my impulse buys from Black Friday. I love Jeremyville because it is a very distinguishable style and some of his previous toy designs were excellent. He also has numerous collaborations and in his sessions book he details them all with artists from around the world. Quite a feat!
The dunny also came with a carrot, a comic book and an awesomely designed box. It's currently sitting on top of my monitor.

There is a horse on your head…
Went to the ABC costume resource centre, where common people like you and me can hire costumes. I do not object to my tax dollars going to this.
It was really cute watching a lot of fathers bringing in their kids to get them costumes for their school plays.
Admittedly most of these photos make little reference to how cool the centre was (which it is!) but I really had to show what the mannequins there were like...

Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary LA Fashion & Arts Bash
Mimozine, the media division of Mimobot (Mimoco), covered this interesting event celebrating the 35th anniversary of Hello Kitty (Three Apples). There was a red carpet, with the chief designer present,Yuko Yamaguchi and artist collaborator Simone Legno (tokidoki).
Some of the concepts featured was fascinating, especially the artist renditions of Hello Kitty. I'm not a huge fan of Hello Kitty itself, but I love mashups!
