Well I just got back from an awesome trip to one of the most beautiful cities in the world. San Francisco is still one of my favorite places to visit in California. I was hanging out with my friend Nikolai for a big part of the weekend. He usually has a thing for the obscure, so naturally we went to Amoeba Records for a John Waters signing… ( Read more... )

Well as with another year comes the inevitable trip to my father’s house in Virginia. I must say that I was relieved that the previous year of staying in a hotel instead of his sewage laden lair had gone so successfully that I felt this Thanksgiving visit looked quite promising. Thanksgiving is a time for family, rejoicing and feeding. It is ( Read more... )

Yes comiccon was a true disturbing pilgrimmage of all the geeks in the world. I managed to snag a photo with lou ferrigno when he wasn't looking....he tried to charge me for his merchandise....I wasn't buyin it....especially since he didn't even have a line at his booth. As you can see he's soo angry in the photo I think he's beginning to turn a ( Read more... )

Just chillin' on the west side listening to my buddy Vinny's new CD....It’s not bad....you know it's even better if you watch it with “2001: A Space Odyssey” with the volume turned down.

I dreamt that I was driving and somehow I stopped by a beach and spotted a plastic garbage bag that was really full. I realized there was a dead boy’s body inside. I went and put it in ( Read more... )

Well, here I am in little Ol' Alabama. Most of the trip so far has been going through that most favorite of places: Georgia. Somehow no matter where you are in this state, you manage to be in the most boring spot in the world....Sorry Georgia....your infinite rows of identical bushes, shrubberies and trees are sublime and yet mind-numbing ( Read more... )

Wasn't that movie the Secret of Nimh awesome?....I think I'm going to watch that again....I know I was a kid when I saw it...but the story and characters were very mature and complicated...oh...and it was the first cartoon I had ever seen where I heard the phrase word "Damn You!!" first used....I was like sweet!!!

Well, another uneventful day in the office....you can imagine that nothing happening because my posts are usually 1 1/2 years apart, but this will make it about 2 weeks since the last entry. Right now I'm listening to a guy who works here on speakerphone. There's definitely something wrong about this guy. He’s like a middle aged single guy who ( Read more... )

Well....I recently ran into some good friends, one of which told me that the entry I wrote about my dad's house saved him when he was overseas and had to deal with conditions similar, but not equal to my predicament....well...to help the rest of the journal world I decided to continue the story...for those of you who know what I’m talking about, ( Read more... )
