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 two updates over as many weeks.
I guess he must like Apple gear, then. *shrug* Fair enough.
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. Every so often, a text message from Sarah makes my Sidekick chirp in faux 8-bit harmony. I flip it open, fire off a response and go back to farting around on the internet.
I need to find something substantial to do, before the boredom eats away too much of my brain. I could write a post for Preshrunk, but I’m suffering from some fierce writers block.
Somebody save me, please.
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…
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…
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 this stuffy nose. *shrug* Whatev.
We ♥ Prints is going to make my wallet even lighter than it is right now, I just know it… Thanks for nothing, Amber!
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 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 a half months in Christmas of 1999. Frankly, it was the worst job I ever had. The manager would write the schedule in pencil and call people in on their days off. Also, I’m pretty sure they hired me because I was the normal guy and they needed to fill some sort of quota.
Hired Grunt, Kimco – One week I’d be building propane exchange storage cages with an air ratchet, the next week I’d be filing paperwork. Fuck being a temp.
Swiss Army Knife, ExoCom/NextPhase – I’ve done everything from run billing to rebuild thrashed web servers from the ground up for the past six years. Frankly, I’m kind of getting a little tired of the place and would much rather write for a living. But I’m sure if I did that instead I’d probably eventually hate writing too. *shrug*
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over
Groundhog Day – What’s not to love about this movie? Well, Andie MacDowell I guess… But I don’t let her ruin the film for me.
Swingers – Every twentysomething guy I know can quote this movie ad nauseam. I’ve been Mikey on a few occasions. Then again, haven’t we all?
Grosse Point Blank – There’s something magical about watching John Cusack kill people one minute and pining for Minnie Driver the next.
PCU – As far as I’m concerned this is Jeremy Piven’s greatest film role to date. When I first saw this, I wanted to be just like Droz. Well, maybe not as bald.
Four Places I Have Want To Lived
San Francisco, CA – Every time I go up there I fall in love with the city just a little bit more. I keep thinking to myself that if I’m going to get out of Orange County, I may as well go there.
London, England – I’ve had a fascination with British culture for the longest time. I’m sure immersing myself in it will probably kill everything I’ve ever liked about it once and for all…
New York, NY – It’s a routine answer, but I’d really like to give NYC a crack. Even if it’s only for a few months.
Austin, TX – I don’t know why, really… *shrug* It seems nice.
Four TV Shows I Love
Lost – As much as I’m obsessed with all the little background shit going on in this show, the collection of websites they’ve upped to enhance the expirence fascinates me just as much.
Entourage – I’ve been rewatching season 2 on OnDemand and it has me to where I can’t wait for season 3 to start.
Gilmore Girls – Yeah, I’ll admit it… Hell, I’ll gladly sing that shit from the mountaintops.
Life On Mars – I’ve only been able to watch it via BitTorrent, but I love the hell out of this quirky cop show from England.
Four Places I’ve Vacationed
Las Vegas, NV
San Francisco, CA
Yosemite National Park, CA
Refugio State Beach, CA
I don’t really take many vacations. When I do, they’re close weekend jaunts.
I’m trying to change that, honest.

Four People I Want To Do This
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…
