I have a nice pretty new computer and a nice pretty wireless connection! What more do I need?

Sadly (for me, anyway), my computer seems to be on its last legs. It freezes up unless I hold it so that it slopes down to the right. I'm serious! If it sits leaning to the left or as it should, it freezes and makes this awful buzzing/whirring sound. Why can't they make these fucking things to last? Well, we know the answer, don't we ( Read more... )

Whoo! Made it through last night! Dinosaur Jr was pretty awesome, I must say. It was kind of amazing to hear songs played live that I never thought I would ever hear live, and the Freak Scene/Sludgefeast first encore pretty much made my evening (along with them playing No Bones and Raisans earlier.) You know, it was refreshing in way to see a ( Read more... )

This really strange thing has been happening. Whenever I try to look at my journal entries or friends entries, my computer boots me offline! What the hell? Anyway, I think I can update, and I am in the mood to do so...soo...here it is ( Read more... )

So, last night we went into the city to see one Mr. Robert Pollard sign copies of the Guided By Voices book, and I am happy to report that he was friendlier and more talkative than I was expecting. He was kind of like a more tame version of the man we see on stage, and he even granted our request of a rock kick (even if he stayed seated.) For any ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed that, when speaking of their team, football coaches always refer to them as a "football team"? I mean, yes, they are a football team, but why do they feel the need to remind us of this? Baseball managers and basketball coaches don't point out what kind of team they're in charge of in every interview. Just a thought.

I need to get digital cable. My cable company has been telling me this for years now, and although there is no logical reason not to go for it, I have put it off forever. I think now is the time. Well, more accurately, the time has passed me by, but that does not mean all is lost. Anyway, what has most recently inspired me is that they took ( Read more... )

As a sort of follow up to last night's post, I feel it necessary to report that Mr. Stallone is also going to do a new Rambo movie. Poor guy's gonna give himself a heart attack!

So, I went with Brendan to see Doom tonight. Why did we go see Doom? The answer is because there was nothing else to see and we figured it would be a bad movie, but maybe good in its badness. Well, it was just kind of bad, although it had its moments. I especially liked the part where they filmed the action to look just like the game (that ( Read more... )

Also, all that rain we had last week was fucked up, yo. The town next to the one I work in recieved over 12" of rain two weekends ago! Over a foot of rain? No wonder that drive home on that Saturday was miserable! No wonder no one came out and we were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the carpet. Also, no wonder why the damn roof was ( Read more... )
