The staff at FTILFF failed to show up this week due to senior skip day (kiss prom goodbye bastards!). Therefore there will be no exceptionally witty, quirky and side-splitting whacked-out introduction this week. Here it is, my precious:

1. Creative barista competitions - I’m always amazed at the depth of subcultures like this. But this guy’s “coffee and a cigar” capp sounds good. And a recipe! Happy day!
2. Google Calendar - Again, can they do no wrong? I was exceptionally skeptical about this, but the ease of adding items (typing “tomorrow” or “wednesday” automatically ‘knows’ the date) is perfect. And the export options to iCal is muy bueno.
3. Burritos - Perhaps the perfect food, in my opinion. Limitless contraptions, all summed up with a tortilla. Now if only Chipotle would open here (sorry Qdoba, you don’t cut it).
4. The Streets: The Hardest Way to Make a Living - New album from Mike Skinner. Not as gritty and grimey as his home-produced albums of the past. But still the odd Moby-lookalike British youth leading the hip hop game over the pond (listen to the whole album on his Myspace account above).
5. Spring - I’ve never been much of a nature buff, but daylight savings time and warmer weather get an A+ in my book. And yes, this last one is fluff. I couldn’t think of anything else for the week. Shove off.

**UPDATE**

6. Whipass video by a foreign kid - Actually, the title about nails it. That should make up for a poor excuse for #5.

Enjoy the weekend. Hopefully the staff will be back next week with a better update. Assuming they’re written their apologies for hazing the underclassmen.
