First Post

This is the first post of the rest of my blog life... (Wow! So cheesy)

First Post

This is the first post of the rest of my blog life... (Wow! So cheesy)

So, I've given in to blog software...

Movable Type, to be exact. My blogs were getting a little difficult to handle, and Cliff helped me by installing the software, so there you go. This way, I can get my blogs up faster and easier, so I can update more often. I'll get to customising the look soon enough, but I'm pretty busy right now, so this will have to do.

A-Kon and Lupin

I went to A-Kon 15 this weekend (an anime convention) with my girlfriend Katy and my friend Keri. So did 10,000 lunatics. It was a blast. Katy's not a big anime fan, so I thought she would be bored. Fortunately, there were a couple of thousand people in anime costumes for entertainment. Really. She seemed to dig it.

I bought some art (despite the fact I'm broke) for a sweet ass price. Check it out:

Dallas Ragon - Lupin and Jigen - Lupin the Third - Marker and Colored Pencil.jpg

The artist's name is Dallas Ragon (or D-Ragon), and he is awesome. The characters are Lupin and Jigen (Lupin is one of my favorite anime characters ever). I'm very happy with it.

LO2's Dream Journal, Part Six

I'm out on the town, and for some reason, I decide to go to the underpass by the 5th street intersection. For some reason, the angled segments under the highway had seating, like a theatre. The traffic lights are running out of sync, so people are narrowly avoiding traffic accidents, while the seated crowd looks on, unconcerned. A van hits a sports car, at which point I say that we should call 911 or something. No one else seems interested in calling anyone. I call 911, then go down to the intersection to try and prevent another accident. The police arrive, handcuff me, and let me know that I'm going to jail for trying to help. Then I wake up.

Man, I can't even find good cops in my dreams.

DORUCENO and funny cars

got an email today. The subject, "automaticka odpoved." The entire text of the email, "DORUCENO." What?

Cars that make me laugh:

Hummers.

Beat-up hatchback Civics with "Starfleet Academy" bumper stickers on BOTH side windows.

Pimped out trucks with a back hatch airbrush painting. Of the truck. That it's painted on.

Ah, the first day of Summer...

This girl I knew when I was little once said that it was the first day of Spring when you saw your first bumblebee of the year (she referred to Spring as "bar'footin' time").

Everyone has their little indicators.

As I left work today, I saw my first hot teeny short wearing rollerblader girl skate by, grinning and wearing headphones, swaying from right to left in the way that rollerbladers tend to do.

A Bunch'a Quotes

Violence is fun, man.
Quentin Tarantino

My favorite band ever was Slayer. Those guys were some of the most charming and delightful people I’ve ever met.
Judy Negley, Co-Owner of Independent Records and Video, Colorado Springs, CO

The humane society showing up for Ozzy Osbourne, that was fabulous. We had these caged doves by where he was going to be signing, and they had these little signs on them that said, “Oh No, Ozzy”s Coming!” The humane society showed up with their trucks and stayed there the whole time.
Judy Negley, Co-Owner of Independent Records and Video, Colorado Springs, CO

Why can’t rock music be about growing old?
Roger Daltrey of the Who, who once sang “Hope I die before I get old”

Britney was absolutely devastated when I told her.
Taryn Manning, on telling Britney Spears that the Japanese symbols tattooed on her hipbone were meaningless gibberish

Prince smiles and holds his hands out in front of him, as if weighing an object in each. “Let’s see,” he says, “sleep, or a half a million dollars? Sleep, or a half a million dollars?”
Anthony DeCurtis, on asking Prince why he booked a tour with so few days off

My relationship with my toaster is delicious, but completely one-sided.
Chuck Klosterman, "Toast in the Machine," from Esquire, 2004

Normal is a cycle on a washing machine.
Emmylou Harris

Don’t worry about suffering. It will happen. Just stand on the tracks long enough and the train will run you right down.
Pete Seeger

Senator Joe Lieberman wrote some kind of letter to us. I corrected the spelling and sent it back.
Johnny Knoxville, when asked if politicians ever gave him a hard time.

We didn’t send you to Washington to make intelligent decisions. We sent you to represent us.
Kent York, Baptist Minister, to U.S. Representative Bill Sarpalius

My favorite one, that fits me perfectly, is an Offspring shirt. It’s a vintage t-shirt I picked up on Melrose. It was, like, fifty dollars.
Avril Lavigne, on her favorite t-shirt, making me feel really old

Loneliness: There is no organ that can take it all.
Nicole Krauss, “The Last Words on Earth,” from The New Yorker, February 9th, 2004

I may be a fool but I’m not desperate. I thanked her very much for the offer, but said that I was going to have to have to turn it down since I was already scheduled to sit on my thumb and rotate in accordance with the movements of the earth around the sun. She was disappointed.
Nicole Krauss, “The Last Words on Earth,” from The New Yorker, February 9th, 2004

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Edmund Burke, not Bobby Kennedy

I was a professional smoker, and I still miss it. I know she was trying to kill me, but I really loved the bitch.
Brad Pitt

He was only relevant by accident.
Morrissey, on David Bowie, explaining why I’ve never been a fan of Morrissey

More seldom than not, the movies gives us exquisite sex and wholesome violence, that underscores our values. Every two child did. I will.
President George W. Bush

It’s like the IRA on speed.
Colleague of Molly Bingham, on the developing resistance forces in Iraq

The 60's in a Nutshell

One morning I got up, jumped in my Volkswagen bus, drove down to Peter Tork's house, got out, walked through the living room, and went and lay down by the pool before I realized I hadn't put any clothes on.
David Crosby, on the Summer of 1968 in Laurel Canyon

World In My Eyes / Aki Ross

Decided to start posting my wallpapers via my blog, but I'm not sure how I'll present the old ones yet. I'm also going to start providing widescreen versions, and more grayscale alternates.

Nikonius said he thought the girl in this wallpaper looked like Aki Ross, who doesn't actually exist (interesting commentary on the blur between reality and CG), so I thought I'd include someone else's Aki Wallpaper too.

How do dogs know not to jump out of the back of the truck? I can pretty much understand it when the truck is going 50, but they stay in there at stop lights and stuff.

Been re-watching Freaks and Geeks, as the DVD set has been released. Just another example of a great great great show that dies because TV executives suck butt, and average TV viewers suck TV executive butt while they suck other butt.

Still not as great as Firefly, but great nonetheless. Check it out.

Poor Bastard.


He can't even sell a book without a Left/Right fistfight. Amazon's review section is getting packed to the gills with craptacular reviews, Republican 1 stars and Democratic 5 stars abounding, and I'm willing to bet 90% haven't even touched the book.

I actually read ten pages myself. Here's my review (posted on Amazon).

For such a big book, there seems to be so little. The drama of events and the personality of those involved never seem to make it off the page in any interesting way. You can't help but feel that the book was rushed, and in need of a co-writer or a better editor (possibly an editor with more time to work, as the word on the street is that there was no time for fine tuning). Clinton, his complexities, failures and successes will be better summed up years from now by some adept biographer. Read The Path to Power or The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt to pass the time until that happens.

Read all the other reviews (or buy the book) here.

P.S. - You can get it for free on SuprNova. If you're into that kinda thing. *warning - popups*

Dr. Quinn, Superproducer!

Jane Seymour.jpg

Turns out that Jane Seymour is a friend of the arts.

Radiohead - OK Computer.jpg

Oddly enough, Jane's home, St. Catherine's Court, is getting a rep as a great place to record an album. Radiohead recorded OK Computer there, New Order, The Cure, and Robbie Williams have also spent time there. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Mrs. Seymour's Live and Let Die era hotness, but this still stuck me as unusual.

No particular reason for this post. Just thought it was neat.

Ray Charles was a badass.

Imagine separating kids according to color when we couldn't even see each other. Now ain't that a bitch!
Ray Charles, in reference to the segregated Florida School for the Deaf and Blind he attended as a child

Death is the one motherfucker that ain't ever going away.
Ray Charles

You can't make a deal with death. No, sir. And you can't make a deal with God. Death is coldblooded, and maybe God is too.
Ray Charles

If you're going to write a good song, you're going to have to praise a woman. That's the key.
Ray Charles

Maybe I put together two things that hadn't been put together before, but, hell, give credit to the church singers and the bluesmen who I got it from. I got enough credit. Let people know that it didn't come from me. It came from before me.
Ray Charles, on being credited as the inventor of soul music

The greatest Spoem ever?

Cellular Nineteenth Garter

touchy taxi
orographic autonomous abbott
xenophobia

ascent synopsis luncheon
adrenal ruanda intact
vesper culver covert fireside
slither ache consecutive dogbane

All grocery shopping bags contain
at least one French bread
and one bunch of carrots with leafy tops.
You soak your dentures in coffee overnight.

fuses,
deadly gases,
lasers,
buzz saws
and hungry sharks,
all of which will give their captives at least

The buck does funny things when the does are present.

Balding Candidate excused himself
and returned to the office a few minutes later
wearing a headpiece.

You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.

The insurance was invalid
for the invalid.

Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch
and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries
in the interview.

You've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes this week.
"Would it be a problem if I'm angry most of the time?"
After a number of injections my jaw got numb.

Another Meteor Fells Pope

That's the headline of the new Weekly World News. I shit you not. There are so many things in this one publication that doubled me over in fits of laughter, that I have to believe that the editors of Spy and National Lampoon have secretly taken over the paper. Complete dissection coming soon.

Bring your unique ideas out in the open today.

Clarity is a fleeting thing
Unfortunately

A clever replica can fool most people
it takes a trained eye to see the fine details that may be lacking

Prepare to fight hard for your position.
Something is probably going on behind your back.
Consider these consequences carefully.
Consider these consequences carefully.

Something is probably going on behind your back.
Nothing will be as it appears.
Be careful.
Yesterday you were thinking about what could be,
now you focus on what is.

Your creativity is endless.

Once you know what you need
Nothing will be as it appears.
Be careful.

Sounds great.
But are you being realistic?
Bounce your ideas off another person.
As the song says Clear your throat and prepare to walk tall.
