What Just Happened?
Hrm. That was weird. Some eight year old kid just walked by the window of the place that I’m at and threw me the goat while nodding at my Powerbook. Maybe he’s a fan of Preshrunk… ;) Although I’m sure if he was, he’d probably would have flipped me off for not posting more than…

Boredom
It’s Saturday night and I’m laying on my bed, listening to The Velvet Underground on headphones, surfing thru a backlog of Exploding Dog and downloading an .avi of the Jack White Coke Ad. The room is lit only by a 5 year old Ikea desk lamp made from translucent black plastic and my Powerbook screen.…

Lazy Tuesday
I’ve been looking for work, doing business card mockups for Sarah and watching burlesque videos on Something Weird OnDemand all day long. If I could just figure out how to get paid to do this for a living, I’m pretty sure I could be a pretty happy dude…

Ravenous Panda
Whenever this Milky Way commercial comes on, I always get a little sad because the guy ends up eating his tiny girlfriend. I mean, dude, the girl called you a buffet of manliness and all you can do is laugh and bite her in two? Fucking savage…

20 Under 30
Does anyone else think it’d sort of be funny to stuff LAist’s ballot box for their 20 Under 30 with the name of a prolific blogging.la contributor? I’m pretty sure Dave is under 30… Well, I’m getting a chuckle out of the idea — or perhaps I’m loopy from the Benadryl I took to shake…

We ♥ Prints
We ♥ Prints is going to make my wallet even lighter than it is right now, I just know it… Thanks for nothing, Amber!

Sloganeering
I may have come up with a new slogan for Oakland International Airport while sitting in the bar waiting for my flight… “All the charm of a bus terminal, plus airplanes!” No? *shrug* I think it’s clever.

Four Things
For Lisey Four Jobs I’ve Had Attractions Host, Disneyland – This is one of the only jobs I’ve ever had that I’d consider going back to. Unfortunately, since I’ve sprouted a bunch of facial hair and a gotten a tattoo, I never can. Sales Associate, Hot Topic – I had this job for two and…

The Wisdom Of Eight Year Olds
Q: Imagine you are in a metal box. How do you get out? A: Stop imagining it. [via] Projects are in the works. Therefore, my silence. Once you see what I’ve got up my sleeve, you’ll hopefully think that all of the quiet is worth it. *shrug* We’ll know soon enough…

Guilty Pleasures
Friends might laugh or recoil in abject horror when you drunkenly admit that one of your guilty pleasures is Gilmore Girls – but the ones really worth keeping around dismiss your confession with, “Well, at least you’re not addicted to EastEnders…” P.S. I know my geek cred totally went out the window by confessing this,…

Bittorrent Your iPod
So Podtropolis seems pretty neat. I mean, a torrent tracker for iPod ready audio and video content makes a whole bunch of sense to me. Wonder how long it’ll stay up though… Maybe I’m just jaded, but this sort of thing seems destined to get cease and desisted in short order. *shrug* Time will tell,…

Let’s Hear It For Silly Internet Memes!
I know it just got started, but Green Banana Hats is going to be one of the best Flickr groups ever. Just you watch.

Still Waiting To Get More
*grumble* I haven’t been able to pull a data connection on my Sidekick since a little bit before 11 this morning. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like I’m the only one having a problem. *shrug* I guess there’s no need for me to waste the next hour on hold to find out that T-Mobile is already…

Bit Rot – 10.31.05
+ After buying the first three issues in stores, I finally got around to subscribing to Make. What’s nice is they’re offered complimentary digital editions that I can browse thru as of today. It’s pretty cool to be able to flip thru a magazine weeks before it makes its way to my mailbox. + I’m…

Looking Back
Two years ago today I lost one of my best friends to a motorcycle accident. I still miss you, B. And with everything that’s been going on lately, I really wish you were still around. You were my most sympathetic ear and one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known. I have a feeling that…

Battles
Duane: You know what they say about love and war. Tim: Yeah. One involves a lot of physical and psycological pain and the other one’s war. *sigh* Oh Spaced, how I adore thee.

Bit Rot – 10.12.05
+ Ooooh, Termite looks like it’s going to be a pretty sweet open source feed reader. + The fact that there’s an honest to goodness Serenity Role Playing Game makes me happy. It’s almost enough to make me want to break out my box o’ dice. + I can’t think of anything less punk than…
