Construction
While they were making a mess of my kitchen today, I spent part of the day updating my web site. I got the bulletin board up and running on the Spontaneous Combustion site. Much thanks goes to Thor for helping me get it installed. His reward will come in the form of penny’s noodels after [...]
Home bound
Had to take the day off today because they start my kitchen floor today. They have 3 days they claim to need to install it. I am only taking today off and I got a friend to watch my house for me the other two so I don’t have to miss more work. I can’t [...]
Monday Mission
Thor pointed me to some site with these questions so here goes: 1. Have you had to repair anything lately? Did you do it yourself or have someone else do it? Pinball machines. I did them myself, although one of them had a part that required having a bracked re-welded which I had to have [...]
Monday
Got an email from John Stabb of GI today and he really liked the discography. That really made my day. It was a lot of work but it was also a lot of fun to put together. Look for the interview with him in the near future as well. I think I’m gonna do a [...]
Finally!
Well, I spent damn near the whole day working on it and had to ask Vince about a dozen questions, but The Government Issue Discography version 1.0 is finally live. I damn near yelled out loud my delight when I put it all together and the frames actually worked like I envisioned them! I am [...]
Teenager in a Box
Met Don for lunch at Potbellys Naperville today. There was no tables so we had to eat outside but the weather was awesome so it was no big deal. Spent nearly the entire day assembling pages for this huge GI discography. I have such a long way to go. I was trying to figure out [...]
Yawn
I slept in today. I don’t know if you can really call it sleeping in. I slept bad, and had a couple really bad and disturbing dreams. One of them pretty much has already ruined my day as I can’t get it out of my head. Just like I wish life had a rewind button, [...]
The MXV FAQ
How old are you? I am 32.5 years old Where were you born I was born in Chicago, IL Where do you live now? I live in a house Downers Grove, IL which I refer to as Combustion Manor. My house is black, and has burnt orange brick. It is kind of goth looking. Favorite [...]
Fireworks
Well, I hooked up with a couple friends and went and watched the DG fireworks. They were pretty impressive. It really cooled off outside, I found myself wishing I had worn jeans instead of shorts. I spent nearly the whole day off working on those GI images. I found I am gonna have to rescan [...]
Happy? Fourth
Ah, the fourth of July, what was one of my favorite days in my youth now just feels like any other day except I don’t have to go to work today. I have nothing to do so that makes it all the more uneventful. Hopefully I will be able to hook up with some friends [...]
The Scanning Just Never Ends
Waiting for my make to finish at work I figure now was a good time to post. Well, after eating a crappy frozen meal for dinner last nite, I had to head over to Home Depot to finally get my countertop situation straightened out. They are now ordered, but it will be like 3 weeks [...]
Damn doctors!
Got woke up by the phone today, the f’n back doctor called to reschedule my appt AGAIN! My response, “Jesus christ, this is the second fucking time you have done this to me”. The lady on the other end of the phone couldn’t care less, her back obviosuly must be fine and she doesnt’ have [...]
The Trifecta!
Had potbelly’s for lunch for the 3rd day in a row! Man, that place is awesome. For some reason though, the one on Lincoln does not have banana shakes! Damn! This day is off to a good start so far, traffic was surprisingly good on the way to work today and then a fine meal [...]
A not so wasted day
Today was a much better day than yesterday. I got up, mowed the lawn (and sweated my ass off, man it was hot out today), then the pinball brothers came over and we went to potbellys and then fixed up all my pinball machines for our league finals in 2 weeks. We cleaned, changed bulbs, [...]
