Weekend, upcoming vacation time
Friday: Saw Official and Raising Water by Fire in Fairfax. (Bands seem to update their MySpace pages more than their web pages, so I'm posting those.) VPR was playing a couple doors down and some of them stopped in afterwards. I took a couple pics of Official - not sure when I'll get them online ( Read more... ) -
"Letter from Iraq"
This has really been on my mind a lot lately. I know the Bouncing Souls sing part of this; here's the entire poem by the soldier called "The Heretic":
( They say the whole things fucked.
I wish the boys were back.
At least I know they're still alive.
Another letter from Iraq. ) -
weekend...
The DCRG Snow Ball was okay.. took me 2 1/2 hours to get there (6.5 miles). I worked all day and didn't pick up a local rollergirl & her bf til 9:30, so I dropped them off around 10 and spent an hour searching for parking. The expensive pay lots didn't want to take my truck unless I'd leave my keys, and I'm not making it THAT easy for someone to ( Read more... ) -
Netflix versus Blockbuster?
A friend of my sister said I should try Blockbuster instead of Netflix since they allow you to drop off a borrowed DVD in the store and take home a new one the same day (there's a participating store less than a mile from me and others within a few miles). The price is the same. Anybody a member of the Blockbuster Online program? Opinions ( Read more... ) -

text messaging...
If anybody is sending me text messages (to cell phone), don't bother. I don't have the service and I often don't even receive them. Just call or email instead. -

got an LJ question
Maybe somebody can help me out here... I can't find this in the FAQ. Since LJ instituted the Message Center and I decided I'd read comments to my journal there rather than in email, I don't seem to be getting responses to my comments in other people's journals in email any more. How do I fix that or get those comments in my Message Center?
Thanks! -
Cats!
I can't help it... this has been cracking me up for days
