We now have an art collection. Friday night, while visiting friends in Guerneville, we stopped at an art show for our friends' neighbor and, long story short, bought a painting. It would be perfect over our couch, we thought, assuming our couch were bright red. So, on the way home Sunday, we bought a new slipcover. Prest-o change-o! New living room ( Read more... )

Pimping myself out again! Pimp!

I guested on my buddies' podcast, "Three Guys, Twelve Songs", again. It turned out to be the longest show yet, and through some trickey actually includes 15 songs instead of 12. It's also one of the most eclectic shows yet. It's all over the map. Check out this list of artists:

Sparks (2 songs), Beastie Boys, ( Read more... )

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

For my birthday (it was the 7th; don't worry if you missed it) Mrs. Phancy bought me The Complete Peanuts 1957-1958 and The Complete Peanuts 1959-1960. I've been enjoying this collection since it began, and immediately devoured 1957-1958. In the beginning of March 1958, Schulz has a short story ( Read more... )

I totally forgot to pimp myself out! Pimp!

Three of my buddies do a weekly podcast titled, appropriately, Three Guys, Twelve Songs. Some times it's a themed show, most of the time it's not, but it boils down to three guys picking four songs each, playing them and discussing them. Back on September 28th, Mr. Jordy couldn't make it, so I filled in. I ( Read more... )

I watched The Woods, hoping that it wouldn't be as bad it seemed it would be.

It was.

Previous efforts by Lucky McKee, the director, were enjoyable. May featured an excellent Angela Bettis as an emotionally-stunted modern-day female Dr. Frankenstein. She also appeared in McKee's addition to the Masters Of Horror series, "Sick Girl," ( Read more... )

09/22/2006I stood upright for three hours, just to get Bruce Campbell to sign his latest book for me. The actual encounter only lasted about a minute. Bad signal to noise ratio? Nay! It was totally worth it ( Read more... )

I went to Yosemite Friday and, of course, took pictures.

Linky-poo.

This is mostly about phancy.com, so you might want to read it there as it'll make more sense. Or you can just click through and follow the links. Whatever floats your boat, man.

Here's some unattributed junk I've been saving:

Agent Cooper & Robocop - I have no idea why this exists, but I would certainly watch this spinoff. Actually, I'd be interested in David Lynch writing/directing Robocop 4.

God, you are pissing me off - I love that his legs still wiggle when he's not on the ground.

Wasp! - This is an excellent ( Read more... )

Sweet Zombie Jesus, moving sucks. Through a series of bungled pieces of management, we moved into our new house four days before escrow closed. Let's hear it for technical squatting! Now that the dust has settled, paperwork has been processed, carpets have been cleaned, computers have been connected and my brain has returned from Planet Stress, I' ( Read more... )
