Best. Costume. Ever.

forgetful mind

how the hell i forgot to mention this is beyond me.  my one desire in all of my 34 years of existence has been a RC car.  well, about a month ago, i finally figured it was about time i bought one.  more pictures and videos to come.  now my one desire is some free time to play with it!

LSF

I said i was going to try and get a video together.  well, that never happened.  Someone posted this link below, and it is really really good.  so i give you this instead:

Question:

Is it bad that I want to limit my friends to those whose email ends in @gmail?
Seriously, if you are not on my gtalk list, what is wrong with you?

yes.  i drink the google kool-aide.   and i love it.

"Gas is less than $3/gallon. Quick, somebody do something!"

oh, im sorry.  I thought that was a good thing.

lucky..

I am a pretty lucky guy.  

I love my job and i love the company I work for.

 

secretly i'm timid

im listening to liz phair at the moment, and I can't for the life of me remember if i saw her play before.
im pretty sure i did.  actually im almost positive i did.  but its driving me nuts that i have no recollection of this event.  it was the avalon....i think.

which reminds me... i lent someone a bootleg copy of some of her old rare stuff.  of course, i did that like 12 years ago, and i have no idea who it was.   if by chance you are reading this, can i have that back??

i bought those cd's for like $25/each at the now-defunct Mainstreet Music in Durham.

yeah, it had to be the avalon right after whitechocolatespaceegg.

a wbcn show.

95% sure.
 

google earth

am i the only one fascinated by GE?
maybe its because of the direct interaction between it and Civil 3D , but I love this application.

now its time to learn Sketchup so i can put manchester on the map.

reasons why it might be a while before going out to the next show:

1. there were 2 bikes outside, and 500 kids inside.  does everyone need a messenger bag?  seriously?
2. fat ugly girls spilling their beer on me.
3. fat ugly guys spilling their beer on me.
4. sitting through 2 horrible bands before the band i want to see goes on ( and while we are at it.....11:30 start time??  come on... im tired!!)
5. guys with unfathomably tight jeans.  seriously?  there was one kid with a pair of corduroys so tight, it defied the laws of physics 
6. drinking PBR does not make you cool.  it just means you don't know how to order beer.
7. the amount of stank on some of those people was beyond comprehension.  if you stink that bad, please shower before going out.... or better yet, just stay home.
8. just because I am standing where you want to stand, doesn't mean you can just nudge me out of the way.  consider this your warning.  next time i punch you in the head.
9. despite the fact that nobody was coming in our going out of the room, the bouncers STILL won't let people sit on the stairs in the back.  
10. It's the basement of the middle east.  its like 120 degrees, people.  you do NOT need to be wearing a scarf.

Ok.  now that i got all that out of the way.  Les Savy Fav, was great, as usual.  Tim came out as a wolf.  actually, he came out as wolf with a white sheet over his head.  im still not sure what that was about.  his body  and face had full "wolf" paintings, with a single wolf glove (on his right hand).  It was a great mix of new and old stuff..  Some of the stuff from "Rome" that i dont recall them playing in the past.  

Overall, great show.  I recorded some of it, but the sound is so horrible I am not sure it would be worth uploading.  I had earplugs in, so i didnt realize how load it was were I was standing...  ill see if i can resolve that issue - if so, i will upload it.
