Tao Feng on Tech TV

For anyone who may be interested, Tech TV is doing a little feature on the game that I worked on at my job. You can click here for the details. I wish I had tech tv so I could see it myself!


A public thank you to a fellow blogger

Last week I posted that I was looking for someone who taped the Music Man because the alphahottie tried to tape it and it didn’t work out for her. Ever quick to want to make the woman smile, I figured I would try and find a copy for her. Well, thanks to a helpful link [...]


Friday Five

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? I like to read a lot of magazine (mostly punk rock fanzines like MRR) and I’ll read books from time to time, both fiction and non-fiction (I am particularly fond of autobiographies). 2. What is your favorite novel? Good [...]


New addition to the punk vault

I got a new addition to the punk vault today. The vault has seen some nelect of late as extra money has been going to fund the upcoming 7″, not to mention it has been funding dating the alphahottie instead of funding my vinyl addiction. Anyway, I got a new item worth noting: The Damned [...]


Last nite’s Smallville was the best one ever I think, it was awesome. After that, I watched the final episode of Oz, except I got pimped out of the first 15 mins of it because it started at 8:45pm. What the fuck is that?! Why on earth start it at such a stupid time (and [...]


Jabberwocky

Yesterday didn’t end up as dreadful as I feared, though it did suck overall. I wish I could shut off my mind, because I imagine the worst case scenario when something is going wrong and I don’t know what the real problem is, and it doesn’t always turn out that way. This was one instance [...]


This day sucks, and it only looks like it is going to get worse tonite. Fucking hell, why me?!


No winner

The WWF PPV was ok I guess. There was only 4 other people over for it this time, and no one won the time bet so it carries over yet again, the 5th time in a row.


Be prepared!

Thor sent me this link. It had me cracking up, not to mention I am now prepared for any sort of trouble.


Oh my!

65 people died at a Great White concert. You can read the story here. That makes two incidents at clubs in the same week, what is going on, is there still a full moon?!


Friday Five

1. What is your most prized material possession? My record collection, but if you had to narrow it down to just one single item it would be my Germs – Lexicon Devil 7″. I bought that for myself as a birthday present when I was 21 years old. I had wanted that record for 6 [...]


JFA!

Yesterday when I got home, the JFA CD was in my mailbox, sent to me from Don Pendleton. I quickly opened it and checked it out for my writing in the liner notes. There it was, in its printed glory, alongside such luminairies as pro skater Duane Peters, Steve Caballero (pro skater and Faction member!), [...]


Milemarker, The Blood Brothers, Little Ax

I went to the Fireside Bowl to see the above bands play tonite. It was a pretty good show despite my having to go alone. Thor was stuck working, and no one else was around. I got there a few mins after 7pm when the doors opened. The first band did not go on until [...]


haunted town

Yesterday after an uneventful day at work (yeah, we don’t get days like presidents day off), I went over to the alphahottie’s house for dinner with her and the little alphas. I had a great time, even if I did get roped into doing the dishes. I missed raw obviously but I have it taped [...]


Post valentine update

The valentines day plans went flawlessly. Despite mother nature’s attempt to fuck with my plans, the snow did not hinder us, or make us miss our plans. The alphahottie was near speechless between the flowers and the surprise of being taken to see blue man group, and the place we ate at for dinner was [...]


A windscreen like a graveyard for the flies

I’m stuck here at work late tonite. It kind of sucks, but since I am leaving early tomorrow I figure we’ll be even. Speaking of tomorrow, they are predicting a big snow storm. This is not good as I have big valentine plans that involved having to leave work early, and then after dinner driving [...]


The automobile, the computer, and toilet paper

Last nite’s blizzard made the drive home work work pretty unbearable. I ended up taking ogden ave all the way home as despite the 80 stoplights between work and my house, it was faster than the highway was with its traffic. When I got home, it was 20 mins into smallville so I made myself [...]


All things cock

There is nothing remotely punk about the band good charlotte. In fact, there is nothing remotely good about them either, so even their name is misleading! They fucking suck. They play wimpy pop songs suitalbe for top 40 radio, and those two assklowns’ show on mtv is a joke. They show the same 5 videos [...]


Success

Last nite I picked up the alphahottie and the two little alphas at the train station and we met my dad over at the cheesecake factory for dinner. Since there is no free parking usually anywhere to be found in that area (near Hancock bldg), and it was freezing outside, I just parked in the [...]


RIP Mr. Perfect

I just learned that Curt Hennig, aka: Mr. Perfect the pro wrestler, died. Man, these wrestlers I grew up watching are dropping like flies. He was only 43, that is way too young to go.


GI lyrics online

I added the lyrics to the Government Issue Discography on the Spontaneous site for anyone who cares. I spent a good part of the day working on it, had to type them all out from reading the lyric sheets in the original vinyl records. I hope the kids enjoy it as there were no lyrics [...]


Sunday

The cold has finally broken. Yesterday afternoon I started to feel much improvement. Today I am just a little stuffed up, that’s it. All the vitamin C and bed rest seems to have done the trick, just in time to go back to work tomorrow. Tomorrow nite, the alphahottie and the little alphas are coming [...]


Could whoever parked their car on my chest please move it, it makes breathing really difficult. Damn this cold! IGN reviewed the game I’ve been working on, and they gave it a nice write up. That made my day. Those interested can view it here.


Fridav 5

1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn’t have breakfast, why not? A couple bowls of Foot Loops. 2. What’s your favorite cereal? Frankenberry! The monster cereal kicks ass. Well, Count Chocula sucks, but it gets a by since it is part of the monster posse. 3. How often do you [...]
