No, I'm not ranting against Veteran's Day (facts: originally known as Armistice Day, and called Remembrance Day in the UK), but me forgetting that a holiday fell in the middle of the week ( Read more... )

If I could figure out a way to justify the extra expense, it'd be super fantastically nice to have a faster Internet connection. Right now, we're rocking the lowest tier Sunflower offers, because we are poor, and thus do not have to pay for our connection. We pay extra for more bandwidth (BitTorrent, Rapidshare, and Mediafire are cruel consumers), ( Read more... )

When there is a sign that says "Left lane closed ahead" and you immediately speed up to get right up where the lane ends, you're a total douchebag ( Read more... )

* Tony was playing basketball at school during gym yesterday, and rolled his right ankle (he did this 2-3 weeks ago, too). He cracked / clipped / chipped / whatever his tibia, and is now bed / couch-ridden. On the bright side, he gets his wisdom teeth removed on Friday, so he's got both at the same time.
* My Twitter feed is updated ridiculously ( Read more... )

When you've got two opening bands, and the show doesn't start until 10:30pm, you might want to limit those bands to shorter sets. O'Phil didn't go on until 1am, and probably played a shorter set than the Bishops or Softie. It was great to see them - don't get me wrong - but I would have loved to have seen them play their entire setlist (and " ( Read more... )

I'm cleaning the house. After that is done, I have huge amounts of reading to get done. After work and class tomorrow, it's more reading, and then I have to get cracking on the two papers I have due before I leave for New York, to say nothing of the two DJs slots still needing to be filled ( Read more... )

Forty minute interview with rainofbastards. It's gonna kick ass. The mixed-down version will be fun to put together, and the full version will run on Sunglasses After Dark. One will be a masterpiece of news, and the other will be a train wreck of entertainment. Seriously, I've done some rambling interviews before (the last one with KTP comes to mind), but this ( Read more... )

So, there's this $215 credit I've got with Midwest Airlines from my aborted CMJ trip last fall. I was thinking of going to New York for CMJ this October, but it appears that I'd either have to stay in a hostel by my lonesome, which just looks like trouble, or stay in a hotel, which even at the cheapest would run a grand for the week ( Read more... )

Ugh. The Lawrence public library book sale is this weekend, and I can probably scrape together a few bucks to throw their way, as I usually do. However, it looks like my plan of going to the Planet ComiCon has been pretty much shot, thanks to the aforementioned electrical troubles ( Read more... )

I am a scant 10 hours from seeing my student loan refund deposited to my checking account. Thus, I will be able to buy books (to the tune of well over 250 bucks), a parking permit (to the tune of 85 bones), and - thanks to a coupon for 12% off from Best Buy - a new camera (more money than I really feel comfortable mentioning ( Read more... )
