It’s been 12 years, so I thought it was high time to update. Well that, and to remove a local loser from my friends list. Few things will make me dig up a password after a decade +, but that will ( Read more... )

Monday morning, I woke up to go to my new job. I put in 56 hours last week, and was looking forward to more of the same this week. It was cold as all hell, but with long wool coat, and Jedi hood, it's manageable. By the time I got to work, I was feeling just ill. I thought I'd tough it out, and clocked in. I started setting up for the day, but my ( Read more... )

I've always liked the films of german director Werner Herzog. He's one of those directors who has no problem coming off as absolutely nuts, in his pursuit of complete realism. He's been known to get in physical confrontations with his actors. (And Ian Curtis was watching one of his movies the day he killed himself.) I just found an interview with ( Read more... )

As per usual, I'd much rather be in New Orleans tomorrow. Oh well, hopefully next year. And this is yet another reason why finding a decent job has become a priority ( Read more... )

Throughout my early school career, the most worthless teachers I had were math teachers. The reason for this was I dislike math, and they always had some major flaw in their character. The most degenerate of math teachers I had was in 6th grade. He was a drunk, and was a bit grabby with some of the students. The only thing of value I ever got out ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning, there was next to no snow on the ground, as the warmer weather had melted most of it. By the time I left work last night, the combination of snow and wind gangbanged the hell out of the town, leaving me to make like Nanook Nelson of the North, as I trudged home (Chucks do not make for good snow shoes ( Read more... )

As we get older, and grow up, we learn our limitations. There is that which we can do, and that which we can't, or shouldn't, do. Having had a choir teacher for a father, and having been in several choirs myself over the years, I know I can sing. If called upon, especially after having had a few, I can literally let loose. However, all I will ever ( Read more... )

The other day, I finally got to see "Love is the Devil," the biopic about one of my favorite artists, Francis Bacon. I've wanted to see this movie since it came out in 1998, and thanks to netflix, I finally have. It's just as weird and disturbing as his art. If you don't know Bacon, then an example of his work can be found in the first Batman movie ( Read more... )
