Godspeed Jean
I'm posting because I don't know what else to do.
I just found out that my Gramma Jean passed away. For those of you not intimately familiar with the structure of my family, Jean is was the gramma on my dad's side, which means she was my Australian gramma. The upshot to this is that in the past 20 years I've only seen Jean 3-4 times, which feels ( Read more... ) -
Yeah, It's Been Like This Lately
My night at poker was, I think, representative of my life lately. My two biggest hands tonight are as follows (This is meaningless if you don't know 5-Card Texas Hold 'Em, if that's the case just look below the cut)

[New Music] Hollywood Undead
I have just discovered a new band that I like. They're not the next Nirvana or anything, and not everyone will like them, but I get a kick out of them. They've got a sort of Atmosphere + Bloodhound Gang + My Chemical Romance thing going on.

Writer's Block: Be Prepared

A Quick Note on Facebook...
If you don't do the Facebook thing feel free to ignore this post, because I don't think you'll probably undertstand, or care, or both.

160... but I didn't enjoy all of them.
SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 [of these] films, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own facebook [or LJ] account, paste this as a note [or update]. Then, put xes next to the films you've seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. ( Read more... ) -
I Got 99 Problems...
7. People who don't pick up their dog's poo (as per Chicago city ordinance), but rather just leave it on the sidewalk. I didn't step on a canine land-mine but that's only because I happened to be looking.
8. People who stop walking in the middle of the sidewalk (bank line, train platform) to stare at their goddam Crackberry . I know that between ( Read more... )
