Tecmo Bowl for NES!

And my brother, who had never played the game before, totally kicked my ass...but only because my quarterback threw 6 interceptions.

I still had a blast.

Actual Gameplay

life part two

One time, I was playing the board game "Password" with my grandmother.

I was trying to guess the word, and she was giving the clues. She looked at the card in her hand and furrowed her brow. Abruptly, she looked up and yelled out "COCK!"

I must have blinked about eight times.

Turns out the word was "rooster".

true story.

life.

One time I nearly made my brother choke to death on some crackers...So he inadvertently shut my head in a door.

true story.

i dont' know what this is, i just clicked on it.

EDIT: alas, the links are dead...er, from above...

STEVE HOLT!

Over the past week, I have discovered the genius that is "Arrested Development".

No, not the 90's hip-hop group, but the brilliant fox television series.

You should watch it too.

A more eloquent description and review can be found here: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/sitereviews.cfm?ReleaseID=3920

"...slanty, messy haircuts..."

Car trouble today, and lots of fog.

which reminds me of this classic post.

i like things

I can't really think of anything to say. I could, of course, make things up. Like the time I invented the Locomotive that ran on old Dishwalla CD's..."counting blue cars", my ass.

But that never happened.

I could make another list, perhaps detailing my top ten CD's with a "Q" in the title, but I won't. I have too much respect for you. Whoever you are. Stop staring at me.

I could profile another of my random purchases, but I can only make so many posts about Star Wars figures...

In short, I have nothing of note to say today.

In tall, I can reach the light bulb.

Lists, a blog necessity

Albums that I love throughout:

These albums are perfect from start to finish.


1. Weezer - The Blue Album (even the B-Sides are perfect)

2. Foo Fighters - Self Titled

3. The White Stripes - De Stijl

4. Nirvana - Unplugged

5. Weezer - Pinkerton (again, the B-Sides are perfect)

6. The Strokes - Room on Fire

7. The Beatles - Revolver

8. Marcy Playground - Self Titled

9. Ac/DC - Back In Black

10. Pearl Jam - Vitalogy

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Albums that I like 80-90% of:

These albums are *so close*. They're nearly perfect, but one or two tracks have you reaching for the "skip" button.

1. Nirvana - In Utero ("Radio Friendly Unit Shifter", I'm looking at you)

2. Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape (one of my favorite all time records, but it kinda goes soft in the middle tracks)

3. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For the Deaf ("Six Shooter" Kills it)

4. Tool - Aenima (90% brilliant)

5. Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head

6. A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step

7. The Darkness - Permission To Land

8. Rooney - Self Titled (Starts really strong, but the songs all start to sound the same the longer it plays)

9. Cave In - Antenna

10. Weezer - Maladroit

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Albums that I like 50-70% of:

These albums fool you, they show so much promise, but it turns out about half of the album is crap.


1. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American (this album is the inspiration for this list)

2. Rage Against the Machine - The Battle for Los Angeles (tracks 1-6 kick your ass, everything else fails to impress)

3. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (Pare down this 2-disc album to 1 disc, and you'd have one of the greatest CD's of all time)

4. Beastie Boys - To The 5 Burroughs (all downhill after "Ch-Check it Out")

5. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (about half of this record is good, the other half is

un-listen-to-able)

6. Chevelle - Wonder What's Next? (50% good / %50 lame)

7. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (there's 1 good record in there somewhere)

8. Jay-Z - The Black Album (great tracks mixed in with so-so ones)

9. The Offspring - Smash (only the singles are good, which actually applies to every Offspring album)

10. N.E.R.D - In Search Of (50% great / %50 blah)

Mr. Sparkle would be proud

The latest song by yours truly can be found here:
http://www.evolvingdoor.com/creative/Sideburns-The_Land_of_Wind_and_Ghosts.mp3

As you can see, it's called "The Land of Wind and Ghosts".

As always, it's an instrumental, composed of samples I
downloaded/edited/stole. It's a fast-paced, drum heavy, zither 'n'
bass thing.

Clump of Souls

I've spent the last two evenings playing the strangest video game I've ever seen.

"Katamari Damacy" (pronounced "Kat-A-Ma-Ree Da-Ma-She").

Surprise, surprise, it's Japanese.

The premise:
"When the King of All Cosmos accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky, he orders you, his pint-sized princely son, to put the twinkle back in the heavens above. How, you ask? By rolling everything and anything on earth into clumps, so he can replace what's missing in space."

It's far more bizarre than it sounds.

This is an H4 tag

Another weekend has passed. The most interesting thing I did was go to Target...again.

I've thought about it, and there are many reasons why I visit Target so often:

1. I am a toy collector. Gotta keep checkin' those aisles. There's nothing like the thrill of seeing a brand-new Boba Fett action figure

2. Tranquility. Compared to any other store on the planet, Target is the cleanest, most quiet, and least crowded. It's the Anti-Walmart.

3. Location. I am but minutes away.

4. Less weirdos. In any given store, there is usually at least 1 weird/scary/escaped person. These often unwashed people like to give you strange looks, cough or clear their throat in an unsettling fashion, or talk to you for no reason. In the many years in which I have gone to Target, I can think of only one "weird guy", and in retrospect, he wasn't that bad. He never spoke, he just looked at the Hot Wheels, and played the video games. He had a lion's mane type of haircut, frizzy and blond, and an ever-present Oakland Raiders jacket. He often smelled of vomit and ass. Anyway, I'm straying from my point.

5. Non-Redneck clothing options. Being male, fashion is low on my priority list. That being said, I can often find things I'd wear in the Target clothing section that don't make me look like I live in a rusted trailer home with "Jeff Gordon 4-ever" spray-painted on it.
This is the biggest difference between Target and Walmart.
If you want a sleeve-less cowboy shirt with Taz in a race car on it, you go to Walmart. If you prefer sleeves, and like your shirts to be 'tasteful', you go to Target.

So there, much like a peanut, that's my theory in a nutshell.

BONUS: This blog's spell check tells me that I should replace "weirdos" with "hairdos". Thank you spell check.

Choices

Here's what a weirdo I am: It's Friday, and I can't decide which I'm more exited to see tonight, The latest Presidential Debate, or the Season Premiere of Star Trek: Enterprise.

I think Enterprise holds a slight edge, due to the fact that it will feature Evil Alien Space Nazis...There's not much you can do to compete with that.

Refugee

A little before 10pm last night, I found myself sitting in the living room, eating Fritos and listening to Tom Petty. It was then that I realized that life doesn't get much better.

"Duty"

So I'm watching the presidential debate last night, and I'm feeling all informed and mature, but every time President Bush said the word "duty", I would bust out laughing like a 6-year-old. And I'm thinking to myself, "Wow, I should never be allowed to vote."
But it was the way he said it. He didn't say "Du-Tee", he said "Doodie"...and dammit, that's funny.

And special thanks to Jon Stewart and the Daily Show for highlighting all of Bush's akward pauses and triple-blinks...comedy gold.

EDIT:

Apparently the Daily Show is reading my blog. Last night (10/5/04) they stole my "Duty/Doodie" joke.

I'm a Rock Star

I finally put my acappella Jay-Z CD to good use, and made a new MP3:

Jay-Z featuring Black Sabbath - "Iron Shoulders"

Attended Kevin's Birthday Party over the weekend...had a great time, saw a lot of familiar faces, and was again reminded how cool my old job used to be. I also learned a lot about fingernails and Hawaii from Mark Mitchell. Good times.

I'm waiting for the Ocean's Eleven-style "getting the gang back together" caper that we inevitably will pull off one of these days...

And special thanks to Delinda, for the awesome sandwich, and to James for thinking I was cool.

False Start, #21, Offense. 5 yard Penalty, 2nd down.

I left the house this morning, and noticed that I needed gas. I stopped at a gas station close to work, and that's when I realized that I had left my wallet at home.
I had to turn around and drive all the way back home and get it, while every cop in the tri-county area drove behind me, daring me to make an infraction. The dog didn't even get up when I walked in, she just raised her head, gave me a look, and layed her head back down. It did, however, give me an opportunity to listen to more of the new Snow Patrol album...it's totally orson.

On the upside, it's payday! And just like the delicious candy bar of the same name, it's a good thing.

fun with photoshop

I took a photo with my camera phone, and I thought our pose looked like a movie poster...so, I made it into one.

more cake

It's Wednesday, already.

I'm not exactly sure how it happens, but some weeks just lay the hammer down, and cruise on by. Other weeks tailgate you and give you the finger. This is shaping up to be a 'cruise by' week, which is nice.

Also, I'm eating someone else's birthday cake *right now*

On the scale of cool things you can do, that's gotta be at least a 4...

EDIT:

I also forgot to mention that I bought the coolest action figure ever:

so very true

I was lied to! Tricked! Bamboozled!

No Fair for me, and that's exactly what it is, "no fair"!

In possibly the most wasted weekend ever, I did nothing...(as opposed to being really wasted on the weekend, which would have been *something*)

Now it's monday, and another work week begins...

Crap.

On an unrelated note, here's the Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day

Friday

hello blog. It's been a a while.

no, I've been busy.

of course I still like you.

it's just that I haven't had anything interesting to write about in the past few days.

what do you mean "that never stopped me before"? what are you saying?

look, I post when I can, and when I have something interesting to say.

no, I can't post tonight, I'm probably going to the State Fair.

I didn't invite you because you're a webpage. we've discussed this.

no, don't cry. c'mon. how about I post about the fair when I get back?

i promise.

talk to you later.

c'mon, don't make me say it.

ok, ok! I love you too, blog.

bye.

these are great. buy them.

Inappropriate Nautical References

A few nights ago, I was having a conversation with my Brother and Sister, and the topic of Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley being really hot came up...

Somehow, this resulted in a contest to see who could come up with the best Pirate-Themed phrase that essentially translated into "I want to bang Keira Knightley"

Here are some of the ones I remember.

She could Walk my Plank / I'd like to Walk her Plank
She could climb my Crow's Nest
She could Hoist my Sails
I'd like to Shiver her Timbers
I'd like to Plunder her Booty
I'd like to Keelhaul her
I'd like to Swab her Poop Deck
I'd like to show her my Peg Leg
I'd like to visit her Briny Deep
I'd like to get in her Davy Jones' Locker

As you can see, they just got dumber and dumber...just like most conversations...

Fun with Google

i thought this was funny:

If you search for "worst president" and "worst president ever" (no quotes) on Google, the first result is the official George W. Bush biography (www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html).

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=worst+president+ever&btnG=Google+Search

So, there you have it:

George Bush, the worst president ever.

EDIT: Searching for "Miserable Failure" (no quotes) works too.

FoamCo

That's right, I now work at a place called FoamCo.

FoamCo, INC.

It sounds fake, doesn't it?

It's a company that makes architectural shapes (like columns, crown molding) for buildings, sculpted (either by hand, or by a machine) out of Styrofoam. My first day was yesterday, and it went pretty well...it will take at bit to get the process down, but the job isn't bad at all.

The people who own it are very nice, and kept apologizing yesterday for how "crazy" it was. I honestly didn't notice anything "crazy"...I was focused on not screwing something up on my first day.

I only work there a couple of hours a day, which is nice to start with, because right now I only have a vague idea of what I'm supposed to be doing...

I'm going to see Soaked tomorrow night in Harrah at the Harrah Music Hall...Supposedly they start at "9 ish ish"...

As for tonight, I'm thinkin' it will be night filled with "Three's Company" reruns and Half-Life, which just happens to be the best video game ever.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

UPDATE:

"9 ish ish" turned out to be 12:35am...

Soaked still rocked the house somethin' proper...

Nothing exciting happened today...but Reno 911 is on tonight..

I love that show.

I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate...

Yesterday, Someone said that I looked like one of the guys from the Beastie Boys "Sabotage" Video...

It wasn't my intention...but I could do worse...In fact, I think it's pretty kick-ass...

Separated at birth.

Please Don't Shoot Me.

You know that scene from the opening of Office Space, where the geeky, white computer nerd character is blasting some hardcore rap from his car stereo, singing along?

Well, as of yesterday, I'm that guy.

I bought Jay-Z's "The Black Album", and I can't stop listening to it...

I've never felt whiter.

Horse Nostrils

Below is an instant messenger conversation between my Sister and I, about current Teen Pop Sensations, and their horse-faced siblings:

Sideburns says:
I saw the Duff sisters standing next to each other during the VMA Preshow, and the
other one, the one that was in napolean dynamite, has a way bigger nose...
TV 14 Debbie says:
totally
Sideburns says:
it's much more noticeable when they stand together
TV 14 Debbie says:
yeah. she's blonde now too
Sideburns says:
was she not before?
TV 14 Debbie says:
no
Sideburns says:
news to me...i don't really follow crappy chick singers that much
TV 14 Debbie says:
i'd just seen a pic of her on msn talking about how the dark hair didn't work
for her
Sideburns says:
which one of them?...now I'm confused
TV 14 Debbie says:
the younger one
Sideburns says:
uh...the "not hilary" one...
Sideburns says:
it still starts with an "H" though...
TV 14 Debbie says:
i thought it was ashlee?
Sideburns says:
You're thinking of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson
Sideburns says:
I'm talking about Hilary and "Not Hilary" Duff
TV 14 Debbie says:
i thought that's who you were talking about?
TV 14 Debbie says:
oh! ... haylie? some weird spelling like that. god, why do i know that?
Sideburns says:
you know...I'm not really sure what I was talking about now
TV 14 Debbie says:
neither am i.
Sideburns says:
So yeah, moral of the story? Haylie "Not Hilary" Duff has a big nose
Sideburns says:
ashlee simpson does too
TV 14 Debbie says:
yes! but i was talking about ashlee simpson, who also has a much bigger nose
than her sister.
TV 14 Debbie says:
either way.
Sideburns says:
i guess sisters of popular singers just have bigger noses
Sideburns says:
it's a scientific fact
TV 14 Debbie says:
guess so. and look at ashton kutcher's brother. Freak Show!
Sideburns says:
i guess I've never seen him...
TV 14 Debbie says:
he's downright gross.
Sideburns says:
ok
TV 14 Debbie says:
you know in house of 1000 corpses, tiny? kind of like that, but no beard.
Sideburns says:
wow.
TV 14 Debbie says:
"tiny fucked a stump!"
Sideburns says:
classic
Sideburns says:
during the conversation about noses, I really wanted to work the phrase "Horse
Nostrils" into a sentence somewhere...but I never could fit it in...
TV 14 Debbie says:
oh well. valiant effort.
Sideburns says:
you're too kind

Strange things afoot at the Taco Bell

I went to Taco Bell with my sister for lunch today.

According to the "Crazy Lady" behind the counter, their soda machine caught fire earlier in the day, and "...were it not for the rapid response of the Midwest City Fire Department, we wouldn't be standing in this building right now..."

Since their machine was out of order, they had a dozen or so 2-liter bottles of soda to fulfill the drink orders...I got Mt. Dew Code Red, because it still tastes ok when it's a little warm...it still sucked though...

Now, about the "Crazy Lady"...We call her that because she is super-hyper, chipper, and just a wee bit manic...She often talks in a sing-song voice, and makes bizarre comments about your order. Things like "Will those be c-rrrrrrr-unchy tacos!?" and "Chik-Chik-Chic-KEN BURRITO?!"...Imagine those questions very loud, and very unbalanced...She also looks kinda crazy...Always sweaty and with a weird haircut spilling out from under a dirty Taco Bell hat...

She kinda scares me, but dammit I loves the Taco Bell food...I'm an addict.

Recently, it should call to me, many interesting thing and there was plural optional photographs which it should post. However, this week I found some original by my makes interest cause in order to say. I try the fact that in the future it corrects this.

Death From Above 1979 - Romatic Rights

"Vámonos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight

an uneventful weekend, filled with boredom and cash register receipts...


now poor, but with new CDs to listen to, I await the next uneventful weekend...

until then, I have my "Three's Company Season 1" dvd to keep my company...

Random Website of the Day: http://www.khaaan.com/

...a little bit rock 'n' roll...

My top three favorite songs of all time:

#1. Nirvana - "Heart-Shaped Box"

Everything I like about Nirvana, rolled into one song...Beatiful melodies, loud guitars, and the now famous 'soft-verse/loud chorus' dynamic. Add a simple-but-effective guitar solo, and a classic feedback ending, and you have the makings of my favorite song.

#2. Foo Fighters - "Everlong"

Just simply one of the greatest songs ever...This song isn't so much "written" as it is "composed", every aspect of this song is just crafted to perfection. Dave Grohl will never again write a song as good as this, and neither will anybody else...

#3. Weezer - "Say It Ain't So"

This song used to give me chills during the "...Dear Daddy, I write you, in spite of years of silence..." verse, when the music changes...



And, in no particular order, a sampling of my other current favorites:

AC/DC - "Back in Black"
Queens Of The Stone Age - "No One Knows"
Moby - "Porcelain"
Beatles - "A Day in the Life"
Beatles - "I Am the Walrus"
Coldplay - "Trouble"
Tom Petty - "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
Journey - "Any Way You Want It"
Kansas - "Carry On My Wayward Son"
Foo Fighters - "Exausted"
Outkast - "Hey Ya"
Stone Temple Pilots - "Creep"
Far - "Mother Mary"
The Pillows - "Carnival"
Beck - "Little One"
Nirvana - "Aneurysm"
Pearl Jam - "Immortality"
Tool - "Forty Six And 2"
A Perfect Circle - "Orestes"


So, call up your favorite file-sharing software, or dust off those old "CD's" that people used to listen to, and give these songs a spin...

(MP3's of these songs are available upon request)

The Problem with Teen Wolf Too

I further cemented my burgeoning obsession with the film "Teen Wolf" this weekend by buying it on DVD. I seriously could watch this film once a week for all eternity...It's not so much that I really *like* it, as much as it is that I don't *mind* seeing it...Some of my favorite films I can't stand seeing more than once a year...

There is a problem, however...

On DVD, Teen Wolf comes bundled with the abomination that is "Teen Wolf Too"...it
hurts me to even type it...

"Teen Wolf Too" is the lame sequel to Teen Wolf. It stars (I use that term loosely) Jason Bateman, as Michael J. Fox's cousin, who also has body hair issues...None of that matters however, because they did the unthinkable...they recast "Stiles"...

For those who haven't seen either film, "Stiles" is Michael J. Fox's stoner buddy...the type of character that shows up a various points in the film, wearing humorous t-shirts, and saying the best lines in the movie...And in "Teen Wolf Too" the producers had the nerve to recast him with an actor who neither looked, nor acted like the original...It's like a slap in the face...

Imagine if, in the 2nd 'Lord of the Rings' film, they recast Samwise with Corey Feldman or the guy who played Balki on 'Perfect Strangers'...and he had a mullet...It's *that* bad...

I think my Brother said it best: "...every King Arthur movie is only as good as it's 'Merlin', just as every Teen Wolf movie is only as good as it's 'Stiles'"

I'm still angry just thinking about it...I need to lie down...

Mustard

Mustard is the silent-assassin of the condiment world.

You never see it coming.

Basically, if what you are eating has Mustard on it, you will get some on you.

You won't realize it at the time, Mustard is too smart for that, you'll instead find the tell-tale dried, yellow smudges...hours, or even days later...

You'll reach to get something out of your pocket, and BAM!

"Mustard? When did I eat Mustard?"

Mustard just laughs at you. Mustard knows that it is the best at what it does.

Ketchup is too flashy and confident. Ketchup doesn't even try anymore. You *know* when you have Ketchup on you...It drops on your clothes right there in the open. You see it fall. It has nothing to hide.

Mustard has seen Ketchup's folly, and learned from it. It creeps in the shadows of your meal, flavoring your food, but also watching you...waiting to the moment to strike....Mustard has you figured out...

Mustard is not your friend.

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

I bought a cool new transformer toy yesterday...

It's stuff like this that makes me poor, but happy.

You know how when you see a really dirty car, it's a common practice to write "WASH ME" on it?

You know how it makes you feel clever?

"I sure showed that guy" you say to yourself...

You're an idiot, and here's why:


One the way back from lunch today, I saw the funniest thing ever.

(Artist's Rendering)

I once shot a man just to watch him die. Then I got distracted and missed it.

There's nothing funnier that Steve Irwin getting molested in the mall...

Nothing.

Sergeant, burn the fields and when you're done with that, burn the house.

"Teen Wolf" was on cable last night, and it's one of those movies that no matter how many times you've seen it, you have to stop and watch every frame...

Here's some fun Teen Wolf Trivia:

"...For anyone who hasn't seen it, watch the last few seconds of the movie before the credits roll. Michael J. Fox blows off the Hot Blonde Chick to make out with his friend, Boof, which has to rank among the most improbable scenes in movie history. That's followed by Fox jumping into his dad's arms ...

only right as they start hugging, you see someone in a red sweater sitting behind them who stands up, and his pants aren't even buttoned, much less zippered up. And this goes on for about two seconds before he realizes what happened, so you see him calmly buttoning himself up. Two seconds later, they freeze on that picture and we get that creepy slow motion montage with the closing credits. Highest of high comedy..."

"These waves are mine."

Dude, let's go get lit and jump off the roof of my house.

I got a $2 bill in change from Taco Bell today...

Well have you ever had skittles? It's all sugar.

I am now the (proud?) owner of a spankin' new Nokia PM 6225 Cell Phone Thingy.

Celebrity Death Notice #2

Singer Rick James Found Dead in Los Angeles

"I'm dead, bitch!"

You wanna know what dog food tastes like? Do you? It tastes just like it smells... delicious.

I went with my family to go get one of those new-fangled "cell phones" today...we were going to get one big plan and split the cost equally among us...It turned into a big ordeal, and an hour and a half later, I had to go back to work...I have no idea if it worked out or not...

Stupid Radio Shack...

If I'm addicted to anything, it's sparklers.

So I surf on over to IMDB.com, and a headline jumps out at me:
"Falco's Secret Triumph Over Breast Cancer"
And my first thought is: "That Rock Me Amadeus guy had breast cancer?"
Then I realize that I'm a moron.

Come on, bring your green hat!

I went to Big Lots ™ on the way to work today, and picked up some snack food to store in my desk at work.

Big Lots ™ is a close-out store, so you can be reasonably sure that 95% of all of the food they sell is out of date, or dangerously close to it. But it's cheap! They also had some bootleg Transformers toys that were pretty cool...It didn't buy any, but I kinda like knowing that they're out there...

One of the things I did buy was a box of the deliciously awesome Gardetto's Snack Mix...The box contained seven 3.75oz bags, and only set me back $4...not to shabby...Now I don't have to pay $0.75 for a bag half the size from RSC vending machine...

Take that, Oscar Rose!

About Gardetto's:



Manufacturer: General Mills Sales, Inc.

Taste: This mix consists of knot pretzels, two kinds of bread sticks (one kind about an inch long and 1/4 inch in diamater, and another kind shorter, fatter and with sesame seeds), pumpernickel melba toast, and short pretzel sticks (about an inch and a half long). All items have a thin coating of a very tasty seasoning. There's less variety than some snack mixes, but it's a great combination, with no weak links. The melba toast and bread sticks are very crunchy, and the pretzlels are smooth, without much salt, giving the mix a great overall texture.

Aroma: Very little.

From the package: "Quality Since 1932" ... "If this product is not fresh or in good condition, tell us where and when you bought it, include the code and we will gladly replace it."

I am Jack's raging bile duct.

I'm going to hell.

Note: The original comic wasn't very funny either.

It's a '76. Won't be out 'til next year. But I know some people that know some people that robbed some people.

Thought of the day:

“Carry On My Wayward Son” by Kansas is seriously one of the greatest songs...ever.

You don't know the half of it. I'm like a big fireworks show. I'm pretty bright. Like Lite Brite.

I ate waffle fries today...

They kick ass...and so do I.

Dream Dusters ™ UPDATE

I finally aquired the ingredients and tried it out yesterday...

You have to be very careful with the amount of Tang Drink Mix you use...let's just say a little goes a looong way...

It's pretty good though...

Current "Gay Fever" * Totals:

Me: 119

*Gay Fever is a license plate deciphering game, named after a scene from the film "Jeepers Creepers".

And this here's the TV. Two hours a day, either educational or football, so you don't ruin your appreciation of the finer things.

I wandered off from my desk today and went to the school library...I often do this, mostly to avoid work, and because I like to read...

I was lazily skimming the book titles, when a collection of 'Will Roger's Daily Telegraphs' caught my eye. I have always heard of Will Rogers, and I knew he had been described as a "humorist", but I had never really read anything he wrote.

The book appeared to be a collection of daily telegrams he had sent to America while he was in Europe in the 1920's...I read a few of them, and chuckled at a few obscure or dated phrases he would use, and after a while I realized that Will Rogers was really funny...He was talking about events and fads (such as swimming the english channel, a craze that apparently swept the globe at one point) that took place some 60+ years before I was born, but it didn't really matter because of his humorous writing style...He would write things like how he had been thrown out of a cricket match for applauding and being a "boisterous element"...

It's hard to describe, but it was funny...

I'm going to have to sneak off tomorrow and read some more...

You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bowstaff.

Napoleon Dynamite.

This little film is, by far, the funniest movie I have seen since I went and saw Anchorman like, last week.

Napoleon Dynamite is the kind of film that is so good, it alters your vocabulary...You walk around for days saying "What the flip?!" and accuse people of "Eating all of our steak!" You dream of sweet bike jumps, nupont fiberware bowls, and ligers (bred for their skills in magic.)

Soon, the film will fade into memory, the phrase "This one tastes like the cow got into an onion patch" won't be a funny as it used to be, and I'll be able to look at tater tots without having a compulsion to stuff them into my pocket, but until then, I'll be throwing the phrase "Heck Yess!" into conversation until people beg me to stop.

LUCKY!

I caught you a delicious bass.

Is is possible that your feet can make you sleepy?

Until today I would have said "stop talking to me and go away"

But, today I bought some inserts for my new shoes...they're great!

It's like walking an a pillow! And now I'm really sleepy.

The first rule of Toast Club...

Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't?

Went apartment shopping with my sister today...An interesting experience...

The 1st (and only) place we looked at was pretty cool, a two-story, 'townhouse' affair...The bedroom that would be "mine" seemed very small, but I could manage. ..I'd have to rent an extra space for all of my stuff, but I'd figure out something... I could stand to get rid of a bunch of stuff anyway.

Also, I bought one of these today:



Very cool.

That's a great plan, Walter. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.

I got dragged into going to an Office Baby Shower for a woman I've never met. I'm not sure if this is standard Baby Shower Protocol (this being my first Baby Shower), but this poor, timid woman had to sit at the head of the table and open each gift, determine what is was, decipher who gave it to her, and then deem it "cute." She spoke barely above a whisper, and seem to have difficulty reading all of the gift cards. If she hesitated in declaring the "cuteness" of an item, the other women would start to go "awwww" to keep her in line.

I got the distinct impression that she didn't like or didn't understand any of the gifts given to her. Another woman sat nearby, frantically scribbling a log of each gift and giver, for reasons unknown.

It was a bizarre peek into a strange ritual that I couldn't possibly hope to understand.

But there was cake at the end.

You poor misguided Canadian bastard.

I went to get a water bottle from the vending machine just now, and when I pushed the appropriate button, the machine rumbled, and made a noise like something (a small animal perhaps?) was stuck in the gears...A full minute later it spit out my bottle.

I left with a sense of accomplishment.

You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

I was ten minutes late getting to work to day...Not really a big deal, nobody will notice, but it seems I'm always late...It's becoming a trend...I keep missing my favorite shows and then forgetting to record them when they rerun...and I keep sleeping later...leaving no time to take a shower in the morning. I seriously haven't showered since Friday...God Bless deodorant.

It's weird...I feel like I'm ten minutes behind everyone else all of the sudden...

I aquired a new pair of shoes today...a black, hi-top pair of the ever-popular Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars...

I'm so trendy.

I've wanted a pair for a while now, but $39.99 seemed too expensive for canvas lace-up socks with a piece of rubber on the bottom...Chuck Taylor is a greedy bastard.

I ended up getting them for around $27...Mom always taught me to be thrifty...

2. I need to buckle down and get that tattoo. "Pirate Skull and Crossed Sabers" all the way.

A typical day

Work Journal - Tuesday June 13th, 2004

12:00pm - Arrived at work. I am scheduled to work from 12:00pm - 5:00pm

12:05 - 12:15 - Checked e-mail. Mostly junk mail, and a few requests for web pages to be updated.

12:15 - 12:18 - Updated various web pages for RSC site, answered or forwarded Webmaster mail. This is the only actual work I've done today.

12:18 - 12:30 - Surfed the web, checking my favorite sites for the latest info on Movies, Music, and Toys. Basically just wasting time.

12:30 - 1:13 - Talking to my friend Kenny via MSN messenger. He has registered a new e-mail address that corresponds with the title of the proposed cheesy horror movie he wants to make.

1:13 - 1:20 - More web surfing.

1:20 - 1:23 - Kenny briefly appears online again, more MSN messenger nonsense.

1:23 - 1:26 - More web surfing.

1:26 - 1:27 - Changed my Desktop Wallpaper. Goodbye Ron Burgundy, Hello Yoda.

1:27 - 1:29 - Snagged a piece of Chocolate Cake from the Break Room

1:29 - 1:35 - Eating delicious cake.

1:35 - 2:58 - My Co-worker Susan presents me with a challenge to find a larger version of the “Yahoo smiley face that’s going ‘shhh’”. I have no idea what she is talking about. I end up having to make the image from scratch. She gets kinda picky about it (mostly because the hands I drew ont he image didn't look quite right.) and doesn't like the first 3 or 4 versions I make. It takes forever to complete. I don't really mind though, it kills time.

2:58 - 3:40 - More web surfing.

3:40 - 3:45 - Watched Strongbad E-mail - http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail107.html

3:45 - 3:55 - Bathroom Break / Trip to the Vending Machine. I get all the way to the vending machine and realize that I have no change. Decide to grab a bottled water from the office fridge instead.

3:55 - 4:52 - More web surfing.

4:52 - Leave Early

A glass case of emotion

Anchorman is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

Brick Tamland is my hero.

6:58pm

A Simpsons rerun just ended...the one where Lisa becomes a Buddhist...
I never really liked that one.

I took an online IQ test today...scored a 129.


I know, I'm disapointed too.


The test also put me in the "Insightful Linguist" category.

This means I have "the natural fluency of a writer and the visual talents of an artist." I also have a "creative and expressive mind."


Rock, Rock on!

Army Helicopters

I had this weird dream last night...

My Sister and I were driving home on 10th street, near where a church had recently burned down. Instead of the usual houses, there was a large lake on the left side of the road. Large Army Helicopters were hovering above it, lowering smaller Army Helicopters into the water. We slowed down and looked a minute or 2, decided it was suspicious and alien-related, but drove on.

Later I'm at home. My Sister didn't want to go back and look, but I did. Strangely, the only way to get back to the area was a weird interconnecting tunnel that goes from our house, through the neighbor's house and beyond...

I go through it, but I find myself in the neighbor's backyard, trying to get to the Davidson's house. On the other side of the fence is a large brown dog who wants to kill me. There is another dog as well, but he is just barking. Also, for some reason, I am shirtless.

I don't recall how I managed to get past this, but I made it back to the lake...only now it's just a large puddle in our back yard where the pool is now. It is dark, but there are a few lights trained on the puddle. Toy helicopters are hanging from something above, and several of my toys are set up to show a scene in which aliens have landed in the water, and the Army (now consisting of some transformers and my G.I. Joes) is attacking them. Some of my robot G.I. Joes now serve as Aliens.
I find myself very confused at the situation. Then I wake up.

"...we gonna party like it's yo berfday.."

Bring me the head of Boba Fett.

this is an actual conversation my sister and I had.
(for reference, I changed my msn messenger picture to a picture of boba fett)

TV 14 Debbie says:
COKE. i like it. "bring captain solo to the cargo hold"

(She says "coke" when she thinks something is cool. it stems from the way her friend brittany would mispronouce "cock ass" (sounding like "coke ass"), and she would say it in place of "kick ass". )

TV 14 Debbie says:
does boba fett have any other lines than that?

Sideburns says:
"he's no good to me dead"

TV 14 Debbie says:
yeah, that's much better. anything else?

Sideburns says:
i'm thinkin...

Sideburns says:
"What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me"

TV 14 Debbie says:
he's not really a dialogue intensive character. but if you can say "put captain solo in the cargo hold" and make it sound cool and quotable, then it doens't really matter.

Sideburns says:
exactly

TV 14 Debbie says:
so he says, what? 5 lines in the whole trilogy?

Sideburns says:
yes, if you count the girly scream when Han hits his jetpack and he flies into the side of jabba's sail barge

TV 14 Debbie says:
at least it's not the wilhelm scream

(the wilhelm scream is this famous scream from an old cowboy movie, and people who make big sci-fi epic movies use it al lot. it's in every star wars at least once, and in all of the lord of the rings movies. and countless others. )

Sideburns says:
true

Sideburns sends:
5-ESBputsolo.mp3

(an mp3 of boba fett saying "put captain solo in the cargo hold" )

TV 14 Debbie says:
wow, that's not edited very well.

Sideburns says:
no, but it's just for reference

TV 14 Debbie says:
i figured

Sideburns says:
Fett also says "As you wish."

TV 14 Debbie says:
oh yeah, that's a good one

Sideburns says:
it's when vader turns to him and says "no disintegrations"

TV 14 Debbie says:
hmm. so most of boba fett's quotes are sentence fragments? nice.

Sideburns says:
yup


Sideburns says:
you wanna go get lunch here in a little bit?

TV 14 Debbie says:
sure. not till noon-hour though ; )

(She says noon-hour because one of her bosses is from fargo north dakota, and she seriously says noon-hour.)

Sideburns says:
or noon-thirty even

TV 14 Debbie says:
probably noon-hour, because i ate potato salad and tortilla chips for breakfast, and potato salad and tortilla chips do not a healthy breakfast make.

Sideburns says:
oh my god that sounds horrible

Sideburns says:
i've got the dry heaves over here

Sideburns says:
ack

TV 14 Debbie says:
it was actually pretty tasty. oh, i had some bread-and-butter pickles and orange juice too

Sideburns says:
blldsljfaaaaarrrhghggek!!!!

TV 14 Debbie says:
this is the best part: and i got towards the bottom of the glass of o.j., i noticed it had a crust of dried food in the bottom from the dishwasher! bum bum bummm!

Sideburns says:
ok. I've just died from nausea

Sideburns says:
please collect my body at 5pm

Sideburns says:
or whenever you leave

TV 14 Debbie says:
that's funny!

TV 14 Debbie says:
it's really hard to express laughter with out sounding sarcastic.

Sideburns says:
a-thank you

Hardly Workin'

I've been at work for roughly 15 minutes...already I've checked my e-mail, did a slight amount of work, and thought about lunch...

Math class starts tomorrow, which is totally going to suck...

Evil Pork

It's 8:50pm and I'm eating a Deviled Ham sandwich and some Funyuns.

I totally kick ass.

Numero Uno

Here begins the beginning of a new beginning. A fancy new "blog" to bore myself (and perhaps others) with in 2004...

I thought to myself, "I have many random thoughts, so why not document them?"

In the future, this will be referred to a "Dumb Idea #1"...Until then, I'm largely indifferent about the whole project...I find that I have little to say when presented the opportunity.

But, there's aways tomorrow...
