Oh man it's been awhile since I've posted to this LJ and I don't know why I'm doing it now. I think that it might be that this is better than drunk dialing. I just got back from a friend's birthday dinner and I'm pretty buzzed. We had an amazing meal at Bix in North Beach. It's a really cool restaurant tucked away in an alley just off the ( Read more... )

So, I walked out of my room and saw my housemate Nathan kneeling on the kitchen floor, looking under the refrigerator. I asked him what he was doing and when he turned to talk to me, he blinded me with the headlamp that was strapped to his head. "I saw the rat" he whispered, "it's under the refrigerator." He then handed me a flashlight and ( Read more... )

the rats are smarter than us. All of the traps are missing their bait and only one was triggered, but had no rat in it. I'm sure that it's just a matter of time before we are overrun and they take over. Last night a cup tipped over in the dish drying rack and my roommate nearly shit himself. I thought he was going to cry. God, we're pussies ( Read more... )

What I've been doing lately is recording streaming content with my MD player and then transferring it to Garage Band. From Garage Band I export it to iTunes and then convert it to an mp3. Once I have the unedited mp3, I clean it up in Sound Forge. It's been cool because I've been able to get music that I haven't been able to before, but it's time ( Read more... )

I hope that I don't sound like I'm complaining because if I never see any of the vermin that would be fine by me. I'd be cool with them not eating my food and staying the fuck out of my room. Realistically, what I think is happening is that they've outsmarted us. How? I don't know. Let's just say that their superior intellect and instincts have us ( Read more... )

I went to the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building today and bought a bunch of beautiful organic veggies. They weren't cheap but totally worth it. I've been going through a bit of a lifestyle change lately, trying to eat healthy and exercise more. Has anyone seen the infomercial for the book Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About? I ( Read more... )

Last night, while online checking out upcoming shows at Thee Parkside, a band, Hater, caught my eye. Well, what caught my eye was that they are ex-members of Soundgarden and Zen Guerrilla. Ah...Zen Guerrilla. I hadn't thought about them for awhile and remembered that I never found a record of theirs that I've wanted so badly! It's a 7" with Mob ( Read more... )

My roommate's dad set rat traps today and I just heard the sounds of scurrying rodent in the kitchen. I'm nervously waiting for the *snap* and I'm worried that these guys won't fall for it. I'm worried because if we don't get them the first time, I know they'll regroup, organize and strategize. First, they cut the power to the house, leaving the ( Read more... )

Last week I was sitting on the couch watching TV and talking with my housemate when we heard a noise by the door. It sounded like an animal scratching on a box so I joked that our cats had come back and went to check it out. It was hot so we had the door open to help cool the place off and as I turned the corner I caught a glimpse of a furry ass ( Read more... )

Wow. Been away for awhile. I went Go Kart Racing last night with a bunch of friends from school and my arms are killing me. We only drove for 20 minutes but it fucking worked my ass. And by ass I mean my arms. My literal ass was fine. It was so fun. We drove the Yokohama course and I came in third. With three laps to go Jay sent me into the tires ( Read more... )
