Some days I want to run screaming out of the building. It's okay though, I can last the month (at most) that I need to. Then I can run screaming out of the building without having to return the next day. |

Holy crap how many dicks are there in Venture Bros. Season 3? I never thought I would appreciate adult swim's censoring so much. |

| Marry, Boff, Kill |
[Apr. 2nd, 2009|06:16 pm] |
1. Comment on this entry and I will give you 3 people.
2. Label which one you would marry, shag and throw off a cliff.
3. Provide pictures and names of the 3 people.
4. Post this meme with your answers.
Alice gave me Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton
...because she's evil.
Okay, here we go
Marry: Tim Burton
I love Tim Burton's movies, and he works with Johnny Depp all the time, so that would be a plus. Plus he seems less crazy (or crazy in a more down to earth way) than any of the other guys on the list. Oh, also he casts his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) in EVERYTHING so I could totally get some screen time out of it.
Boff: Darren Aronofsky
By far the most attractive of the three, and his movies are so over-whelmingly trippy that I feel like a romp in bed with him would leave you confused and enlightened. There are worse things, definitely.
Kill: Quentin Tarentino
I love the guys movies, but really there's no contest here. He's a sleazeball, and the thought of him touching me is pretty revolting. Plus he's got the whole foot fetish thing going on. No thank you. I wouldn't kill him until after Inglourious Basterds though. |

| Woo tax return (maybe) |
[Mar. 28th, 2009|07:40 pm] |
So I filed for a tax return for the first time ever, using TurboTax (because I'm lazy and I like e-filing it). I was all stoked because it looks like I'm gonna get a decent chunk of change back. Then I get a rejection letter. Not because I screwed up some aspect of my claim, but because my personal information (name, SSN, state) were deemed incorrect.
Uh...it's not that complicated, and I'm pretty sure I know my SSN. I'm hoping that it was some weird fluke with something because I really don't want to have to deal with a real tax prep person or (even worse) the IRS themselves. |

I dropped our slow cooker pot in the sink while washing it and now it has a spider-web of cracks throughout the whole thing. If we tried to cook anything in it now it would surely kerpload. This is sad, but i guess it means we get to upgrade our slow cooker. |

Kathleen just got a new camera, so we posted the picture on facebook (since LJ is lame and won't let you upload a pic from your desktop without paying)
It is here |

| I love concerts |
[Feb. 27th, 2009|07:05 am] |
So Kathleen and I learned that there was an A.C. Newman concert last night and decided to go on a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. It worked out perfectly, and I want to thank the little things that made our night.
Thanks to:
- The Troubadour for having tickets available like 20 minutes before the first band went on.
- Dent May, the first band, for having the nerdiest lead singer (he played a ukelele awesomely!) and a drummer who played the drums with a tambourine in one hand and a maraca in the other.
- This guy behind the counter who had speared a hamsteak with a fork and ate the entire thing off of it, bite by bite
- The chef/pizza guy that the Troubadour apparently has. Best looking concert food ever!
- A.C. Newman, whose voice sounds exactly the same live as it does on the album
- Time traveling Kevin Spacy (there was a guy in the audience who was a dead ringer for Kevin Spacy from 10 years ago if he was wearing a knit cap

I have a piercing! First one ever. I got it at a tattoo expo I was at with Kathleen and Alice. It's a rook piercing, which is a part of cartilage inside the ear. I'll post pictures eventually (once I take pictures) |

Boring: Pay off our student loans
Practical: Buy a house outright (this house would have to have a hot tub, a pool, and a fireplace), another car so that Kathleen and I didn't HAVE to commute together (although it's nice sometimes too).
For fun: Buy a projector and set up a screening room in my house. Buy a welsh corgi and a munchkin cat (preferably both babies so that they would grow up together). Buy every game console known to man and hire someone to wire it up so that I could switch between them easily. Buy (at the very least) a Twilight Zone and a Dr. Who pinball machine.
Because I've always wanted to: Quit my job and use the money to finance a Theater-Pub in Long Beach and a liquor store across the street from Mudd. Hire my friends to work there. Buy Paco a fake ID and take everyone to Vegas. Buy Jeff a plane so that he could chauffeur me around.
Edit: I forgot to mention I would also buy a Corvette Stingray, '72 or '73. You know, so that I could pick up chicks. |

One of a kind surreal webcomic, for all of those I haven't thrust this upon already.

Go and read (either the problem sleuth or the shorter jail break one to start out) and bask in the surprisingly sensical nonsense. |

| Happy moments for the 24th and 25th |
[Dec. 25th, 2008|03:48 pm] |
The 24th: Realizing my dad lied to me about my sister being in Colorado for Christmas. Seeing her at the airport was great!
The 25th: MF-ing Christmas! Too many things to specify one. |

| Happy thing day 3 |
[Dec. 23rd, 2008|06:01 pm] |

The moment for today is a clear-cut winner. I don't have the exact chat any more, but I got a message this morning from Mo (a highschool friend) telling me "even three years after my mom passed away, I never forgot how much you were there for me" |

| Happy making moment today |
[Dec. 22nd, 2008|10:31 pm] |
Well, Kathleen already used the one that's most appropriate, so I'm going to go with another moment at the concert-that-should-have-been-but-wasn't. We saw a really cute girl in a jumper and goth boots and a striped shirt and pig tails, and lamented that she was with a total douche-bag. But for the first 30 minutes (until we left) she just acted coldly to him. Take that, douche-bag. Leave the cute indie girls to the rest of us!
Also, you are called ROCKapella. Poppy christmas carols do not cut it! |

| Meme time (what else) |
[Dec. 21st, 2008|01:47 pm] |
Rules: Post one thing that made you happy each day for 8 days. Then tag 8 people to do the same.
So I got tagged by Alice a while ago and forgot, so I'm going to do a couple things at once.
Friday: Delicious burgers with Paco and Jeff. Also watching UCB:ASSSSCAT with them.
Saturday: Seeing Kathleen's awesome office and getting cheap t-shirts there. Seriously jealous of her work environment
Today: Bought a painted glass pickle ornament at Target.
Tagging: Derek, Kate, and anyone else who feels like it (I don't even know who reads my blog any more) |

So I was looking at the Saw scores on Rotten Tomatoes, and I realized something. The movies are certainly getting worse and worse, but at a certain point they have to bottom out.
The scores are 46%, 36%, 26%, 18%, 12% and so I thought that a polynomial fit might accurately describe it (yes, I am that much of a nerd). Here's what 30 seconds in excel came up with:
According to the equation, the Saw movies are going to bottom out with Saw 9 (scoring a measly .28% positive reviews) but that means that by saw 17 they should be as good or better than hte original.
Hold out hope guys. We just have to wait until 2021. |

As of 7:08 when McCain said it, there were two entries on google for "Cool hand at the tiller" at 7:20 there were 22, and as of writing this at 7:42 there are 65. I am thoroughly amused to watch the creation of a new phrase, especially one where ALL of the commentary is about how it benefits Obama much more than McCain. |
