Day-Tripping In Allentown, And Other Tales

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Last night’s Obscure References practice went nicely. Before Ken arrived, I played some drums while Z and Jack noodled. With Ken in-toe, we made an awful racket, and ended on a stunningly-loud and distorted blues jam, which left Z running out of the basement covering his ears. Success!
Nothing was recorded…for no reason…just because (see: laziness)
I [...]

700 Club

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

If you think my social interactions are steeped in awkwardness, you should have seen me at that posh mall boutique trying to find a pair of glasses today. Not only was I completely disinterested in the entire process, I think I was being downright rude to the nerdy, balding fellow who clearly struggles to earn [...]

You Can Only Squint For So Long: My Trip To The Eye Doctor

Monday, February 26th, 2007

It’s hard for me to see the keyboard and monitor as I type this missive. I just got home from the eye doctor, and my pupils are still dilated. Everything looks nice and fuzzy. Is this what heaven is like, only warmer? I hear clouds are cold. We may never know.

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 55

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I’m sure you’re all being slaves to the television and watching Academy Awards-related programming, but I have chosen to compile for you a new Mix Tape. Tomorrow you will be blessed with Episode 5 of The Best Podcast You Have, Circulations Amethyst. The title is “Vibrophile”. I thought “Heroin Cheek” would’ve been funnier.
Normally I don’t [...]

Fuzzy Zoellers, iPhones, Podcasts, Parties

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

- Noted golfer and famed racist Fuzzy Zoeller is looking to sue the bastard that defamed him on Wikipedia, says this SI article. I hope this brings Mr. Zoeller a lot of publicity, as I have in my possession a signed golf ball bearing his name from a PGA tour event I attended many years [...]

The Top Ten Bad Conversation Topics For A First Date

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Another night of pool (we’ve now got a chalkboard with standings, and I’m in last place—the worst billiards player in the group) and podcast work left us with more than enough sounds to ensure Jack can complete Episode 5 (audio) in the coming hours. Once finished, we’ll all get started on animating and compiling the [...]

Illicit Phone Activities

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Yesterday afternoon I received a package in the mail from the fine folks at Cingular Wireless. Apparently they stumbled across this-here website and decided to offer me a free phone with free data transfer service for a month, so that I could test out their new cellular music download service. From what I gather, they’re [...]
