Post WM

Wrestlemania was pretty entertaining I have to say. The highlights of the evening: Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahaon – who would have thought I’d ever say a Hogan match was the best of the night but it was. Both men bladed and vince was gushing blood all over the place. Roddy Piper made a way [...]


Multiball!

Tonite I have pinball league. The lineup of games we are playing: Star Trek: TNG Sharkey’s Shootout Star Wars Episode 1 Revenge From Mars World Cup Soccer Hopefully my lack of sleep last nite won’t be a factor in my playing today and that the great game of RFM I just played in my basement [...]


I told you so!

I’ve been telling everyone that I come in contact with that Potbellys is the best place on earth, well now there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that what I have been proclaming is true! I told you so, yes sir I did!


Faction/JFA 7″ update

Today I mailed off the materials to have the record mastered, from there it goes to the plant to be pressed. I have the sleeve laid out and ready for printing and have to hook up with the printer to hand it off. I am pretty rusty with laying out stuff for print, especially color, [...]


Unreal world

I’m not exactly sure how it happened, but I am hooked on the real world. I find myself watching it every time it’s on, even if I’ve seen it before. Oh man, what has become of me?! This is not my first exposure to it either. Back when the very first show happened (we are [...]


Days of our lives?!

It appears, the person that I considered to be my best friend has decided that he is not my friend anymore after he flaked on me for a party we were going to, and I called him on his shit. And to top it off, he puts a spin on it on his blog like [...]


I am so sick of my friends flaking out on me all the time. If you tell me you are going to go somewhere with me or hang out, don’t flake out on me, let alone decide you are going to at the last minute and not tell me until I ask to make sure [...]


All you can meat!

Today our work took all of us to this really nice restaurant for lunch to celebrate our game being released. The place we went to was called Fogo De Chao and it was excellent. I’ve never been to a place like this before. The place is a meat lovers dream, they have more meat than [...]


I killed Kenny

Last nite I went up to Club Foot to play some pinball with fellow Chicago blogger Lis. This was the first time I have met another blogger that I didn’t already know. It turned out it was South Park and not Simpsons that they had. It worked good for the most part and Lis was [...]


Friday 5

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you’ve never met, from the past or present, who would it be? I don’t know, maybe Ashley Scott so I could be shot down trying to get a date with the hottest girl on earth. I would also have liked to have met Darby Crash from [...]


Let’s walk he says

Took a late lunch today and went to potbellys. Two co-workers suggest we walk to a different one. It is far, actually as far almost as the one we go to via train. The walk was fine until half way back it starts raining. Hard. Then hail. Luckily I got under cover before it really [...]


Not quite done

I’m not quite done with the new look for the blog. I have to add a couple things to the right half above the links, but that required artwork that I was to tired to either make or resize. I had a problem with any browser other than IE not displaying the page properly and [...]


Time for a change

It’s time for a new look for this blog, I’ve grown tired of this current one. When I get home tonite I hope to get started on it, so if there is any wackiness going on, you’ll know why. The game our company did came out today, I got my copy handed to me after [...]


Time for a change


Spontaneous Updates

If anyone cares, I updated the Spontaneous Combustion Website. There is an new homepage and a new images section.


Light the fuse, get away.

It was such a beautiful day outside that I took the L over to potbellys again today for lunch and i ate outside! That was pretty refreshing and it helped me get through the day. My legs hurt in places I didn’t know I even had from skateboarding on saturday, but it was worth it, [...]


A little piece of my youth

Today was such a nice day weather wise that it had to be spent outdoors. Thor came by and we went to the Skate Shack and bought skateboards. Man, they sure are different than when I was skating in high school. I’ve had the itch to skate again for quite awhile and the back injury [...]


Xbox Live

I’ve been playing a couple different games on that Xbox live, over the internet. It’s pretty fun despite the lag. What’s more fun almost than the games, is seeing the clever names the kids come up with for themselves. Such fine examples are: Nunhumper Feely McPriest Douchess of York Ah, the youth, they make me [...]


Testing

I needed to post something to help Thor test something, and in case anyone was wondering. I STILL MISS HER!


Sticking it to the man? (or: who has a photocopier?)

Does anyone around my area have access to a photocopier that makes good copies that I they can make some copies for me? I need to print the inserts for my Faction/JFA sinlge, so we’re looking at 500 double sided copies. I will reward the kind soul with one of the test pressings for the [...]


Freedom my ass!

Why in the hell are they now called “freedom fries” when I still have to pay for them, there is nothing free about them! Just call the fucking things “fries” like we all have been for years. What are they gonna change the “french dip” sandwich too? The freedom dip? How about “french dressing” it [...]


40+ degrees = 4 course meal

Since the weather has taken a turn for the better this week, I instantly agreed to an invite from a few co-workers to walk over to the L and take it to Potbellys for lunch. There is nothing like a 4 course meal from there (sandwich, chips, coke, shake), to temporarily lift yr spirits. Even [...]


God Dammit I miss her!

I think the title pretty much sums up how I am feeling. Not a good day today at all, no sir.


It’s not the same as it ever was

The other day I noticed that the laundromat that was at the end of my street for as long as I can remember, has closed down. I realized that it was the last remnant from my growing up, of what used to be at the end of the street, all the other businesses that were [...]
