...was a blast. It was the nicest venue, biggest crowd, and possibly the most fun I've ever had at a gig. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to catch any of the other DJs' sets - it looks like they were awesomeThe whole trip was a hell of a lot of fun, really; Suzanne and I spent a week in Philly and NYC around the Ball with our ( Read more... )

Usually when you see something called Dresden Dolls VS Panic! At The Disco, you might think, "Oh, somebody did a remix! Or... maybe a collaboration? Perhaps a mashup?"

Somebody dropped their chinese take-out box in Centennial Park this morning. The obvious response? Eight police cars, the bomb squad, and a couple helicopters (just in case). Also, since my office window looks out over the park, I was in grave danger from the Evil Terrorist Bomb Threat, and required to evacuate to the other side of the building ( Read more... )

...Dentistry

Suzanne and I went to the dentist last week for what was, for me, the first time in over a decade. I was expecting a lot of "ZOMG!! Cavities! Crooked wisdom teeth! Your gums have rotted straight through to your spine! Get the drills, no time for novacaine, we're going in!!" Actually, it was just, "You could floss a little more ( Read more... )

+ Supremely creepy animated For Better Or Worse comics. They blink, but that's it; it's like everybody in the comic is paralyzed from the eyelids down, sitting there helpless with their mouths hanging open.

I requested this interview from beeporama, like, ages ago, but for some reason I didn't get an email when he replied with the questions. Seeing a random interview in someone else's journal reminded me of it, so I went back to look and, lo and behold, there they were, waiting for me.

So, without further delay...

1. Do you believe in a higher power(s)? If so why?Not really. I suppose I'm not opposed to such a belief, in theory, but it seems unlikely that I'll change my mind at this point. I think I've heard at least the general outline of most of the arguments for religious belief, and the most convincing ones to me boil down to "I just feel that ( Read more... )

So, I was reading Slashdot, and there was this article about Kevin Smith's downloadable commentary for Clerks 2. Immediately, I thought, "Hey... anybody could make one of those!" Just sit there with a microphone while you watch the movie (with the sound in headphones to avoid bleed in to the commentary track), and you too can explain why Matrix ( Read more... )

I went up to Portland for my brother's wedding a little while ago. The wedding was beautiful, and so was Oregon.

Also, while there, there was a crack on the windshield of the rented Subaru, so they swapped it out for a new Mustang (and suddenly I didn't mind doing all the driving).

Suzanne's birthday was last weekend, and I threw another big ( Read more... )
