If I knew the son of a bitch who let their dog shit on the sidewalk that I walked on I would do things the likes of which Romans would consider extreme.

NIN tickets, June 3rd.
10 rows back from the floor which should be good. I might have to re-live my younger days and rush security to get in to the floor area (lullz) I don't think I'm as agile as I was then though ...
Trent said something about taking an extended break from NIN, so who knows ... could be my last shot to see them again. Tom Morello's new project isn't too bad either, but I still think A Perfect Circle was a hard opener to follow.
Oh ... and then there's that Jane's Addiction band I guess ... *shrug* |

| brownie test run #1 |
[Feb. 25th, 2009|08:20 pm] |
going from memory (last made these 10 years ago or so)
2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 stick butter
2/3 cup cocoa
1 tblspoon vanilla
1 tspoon salt
preheat oven to 350
melt butter, mix with sugar, salt, vanilla
add eggs, mix
sift + add flour, mix
put into greased pan (8x8 I think ...)
cook for 30min @ 350
batter tasted decent, but the consistency is a little thicker than I remember. I didn't overmix, so hopefully they don't come out like a heavy cake vs brownie wonderfulness.
pictures and taste test to follow |

at my old apartment some girl upstairs was trying to put together some shelf thing at like 1:30am.
seriously, what kind of crazy bitches do I end up living beneath? |

| Angry Whopper |
[Jan. 12th, 2009|11:42 am] |
I tried the Angry Whopper last week (before the ads started up, or at least before I had seen any) and it was ok. Then I see the ads that depict it as a seriously hot burger ... which it is in no way close to.
I'm not the sort who has to buy exotic hot sauces and all that, but I do think that hot should equate to at least the level of tabasco or something. I pity any person who has a palatte that thinks this thing has a serious kick to it ... they must lead a very boring life food-wise. |

I wonder about how people view me.
It seems like everybody drops me into a different bucket. I've had people refer to me as frat boy-ish, a nerd, and most things in-between. I guess it depends on when people have met me.
The folks I know from high school most likely remember me as a nerdy kid who was weird, but ended off things hanging out with some of the guys who partied a lot. I met a lot of people through drama and music competitions in high school, so there's people who associate me with that. I was really apathetic in high school, yet I did well enough on tests to keep myself in the AP classes and whatnot. I suppose I could have had a good GPA if I ever felt like working on it, but most classes were boring. I didn't care enough to work on them. Anything that interested me, I'd get an A. Anything that didn't, I'd get a high C, low B.
In college I was the person doing flaming 151 shots and building industrial beer funnels. Then there are the people who knew me strictly from class where I'd be a wise-ass, asleep, or bored. One professor's class was normally beer time for me. I'd sit in the back of lecture or our lab (I didn't want to be blatant) and she'd be fine with it (This particular professor liked me quite a bit ...). Lots of people assumed I just partied all the time and wasn't really a true compsci kid, but they also didn't know the me who was raised playing with computers ... learning how edit hex for old computer games, poking at my local ISP's systems, rebuilding computers for my high school.
Suppose this is going on for a bit too long, but I guess the ending thought is - It's odd how people can come across and I wonder about the people I vaguely know - both how I perceive them and guessing how they perceive me. |

"Palin once blessed to be free from 'witchcraft'"
Oh. Boy.
This election just keeps getting better.
I really wish we had a atheist President. Religion has no place in politics, just ask the founding fathers .

Went to 90s night for the first time in a while last night. Phatmike played some NIN which went over kinda funny with the crowd, but I was happy. It's mostly how I always remembered it.
Things in the near future:
Moving on Sunday/Monday. Budget called, left a voicemail saying "We know you have a reservation but we have a shortage of trucks. Please give us a call before you head down" Oh good. Need to talk to the future roomie to work out getting there first thing in the morning. I hate Sept 1st.
Work-wise I'm finally getting a promotion of sorts. Moving over to a more technical job and I'll be clocking in a ton of billable hours for the company, so I should be looking at a solid raise. I'll be doing something I enjoy more too. All around good times.
Football season starts in under a week. Yay. Holly filled a spot in my Fantasy Football league (which is mostly just co-workers/former co-workers) so that should be interesting.
Real anxious for the next 5-6 days to go by as fast as possible. |

Almost every single day I get a call saying "This is your final notice. Your vehicle's factory warranty is about to expire ..." etc. This is especially wonderful as I've never owned a car.
I'm getting rather tired of it. It's technically illegal to make any unsolicited marketing calls to a cell phone without the owners consent, as well as it being illegal to have a pre-recorded message that does not identify the caller with a number to reach during business hours (the # on the caller ID goes nowhere) Hey, you can collect $500+ for each violation, woo boy! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_Consumer_Protection_Act_of_1991 |

Every now and then I skim the Metro on my way into work. There's been plenty of news about the primaries and the typical mudsling, but it's really getting a bit much.
http://www.metrobostonnews.com/us/article/2008/02/26/04/3247-72/index.xml
Quick summary: Obama was in Kenya and he put on some tribal garment given to him by the locals. People are upset for vague reasons. This comes after the Clinton camp claiming Obama was some crazy Muslim who was going to turn the U.S. into Iran.
I understand that Clinton and Obama both would love to win the Primary, but don't you think it's hurting the party as a whole? The Republicans are getting free smear-jobs of the Democratic candidates. Oh hey, and by the way ... Nader decided he wants to come on in and syphon off some votes from libtards who are foolish enough to waste their vote on him. Great. Can't we just focus on undoing the mess our current President has caused, then worry about pushing those aggressive platforms that will never gain traction in the current Congress anyway ... I'm glad Nader wants to make the world a better place, but he obviously isn't going about it the right way.
Meh. Enough random political ranting. Time for random TV ranting.
Anybody watch The Wire? I'm sad about the most recent episode (Season 5 Ep 8). If you've seen it you know why. Figured it was coming, but it still doesn't mean I have to like it.
I'm curious to see how much of Dexter was butchered (hah, unintentional pun) when it came to network TV. Still haven't started season 2, but I should ...
Ok, that's the most effort I've put into posting in the past year on this thing. Go me. |

Such a great weekend of football ...
Pats win. Colts lose. Cowboys lose and To cries.
Now I get to watch the Pats completely demolish the Chargers ... I hope Rivers mouths off to the wrong fan and gets his teeth kicked in.
The writers strike sucks and all, but American Gladiators? Oh hell yes. Roid raging meatheads ftw. |
