Ah well
Friday nite, home alone, nothing to do. I had tenative plans with the girl I met last week, but she called and said she wasn’t feeling well and was staying in. I don’t know her well enough to know if she was telling the truth or not. I am always skeptical of such things due [...]
MXV on TV – LINK FIXED (thanks Thor!)
I thought the Chicago Tonight segment on pinball that I was in turned out great. You can see a mpg of it here.
MXV ON TV is TONITE!
Just got a call from the WTTW guy asking me the proper way to say my last name and he said it airs tonite. He forgot Monday was a holiday when he told me that. Well, thanks for making me look like a liar at my party, but it is cool and was actually a [...]
They are indeed crazy!
I learned yesterday that one week after the alphahottie dumped me, she got engaged to a 63 YEAR OLD GUY! To put this in perspective, she is 29, he is one year older than her dad, and he has kids older than her! That is pretty much proof positive that the girl did indeed flip [...]

47 hours 50 minutes
That was how long it took me to beat Golden Sun 2 on the GBA. What a great game, though now I have to wait until #3 to find out what happens! Now it is on to the new Castlevania game!
MXV on TV!
Monday I am going to be on television. WTTW, Ch. 11 in Chicago came to Combustion Manor this morning and interviewed me and shot footage of the arcade in my basement for a segment they are doing on pinball in Chicago for Chicago Tonight. It airs this coming monday at 7pm CST. I will have [...]
MXV – Friend of Nature
Last nite when I got home, I was grabbing the mail out of my box when I heard the sound of bird wings flapping above me. I was thinking, “man that bird must have flown right over my head close” though I didn’t see it. I went to take out the garbage a couple minutes [...]
Damn you ATT/Comcast….
…or whatever you are calling yourself now. My internet crapped out monday nite and they have to send someone out to fix it. I just get no line to the house at all, but the cable tv still works. Bastards! I feel crippled without my internet!
Interesting article about a new spinal procedure
Seeing as how I just had surgery on my back this year, and may someday (hopefully not – knock on wood) have trouble again, I found this article quite interesting and I hope it works out in the event I were to need it.
The Golden Age of Letdowns
So far this new Marilyn Manson album is pretty damn disappointing. I’ll admit that the band is a guilty pleasure of mine, Mechanical Animals was an awesome album, which I still listen to all the time. Yeah, it was quite Bowie “inspired” but who gives a damn, there is some fine (and depressing) tunes on [...]
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.20
Is there a movie you would like to see Hollywood make a sequel to? I can’t think of one. In fact, they usually make sequels to movies that don’t require one. Which leads us to the next question… What movie sequel do you think should never have been made? Without a doubt, the sequel(s) to [...]
I will never figure them out!
It seems my friend Kristin is no longer speaking to me. I have no idea why either. We didnt’ get into a fight, no argument, no wrong-doings on either side, nothing. I last spoke to her around xmas time. About a month or so I called and left her a message and got no response. [...]
The Mysterious Travels of Mr. Potato Head Part Three
Another mysterious unmarked envelope arrived the following week, postmarked Mar 24 and of course from San Jose: I wondered where he would go next. It seemed our oblong friend was getting a bit morbid (or gothic) on us by visiting a cemetary. Unfortunately I may never know the fate of the wordly Mr. Potato Head [...]
Matrix 2!
OK, so I got a ticket to see Matrix 2 tonite at midnite. I get to work today and one of the owners comes around and asks everyone if they want to go see it (on the company!) tomorrow during the day! I didnt’ mind that I would already be seeing it 12 hours before [...]
Fixed!
Last nite I was chatting with Thor on AIM about how great smallville was that had just ended (it is about time Clark put the moves on Lana, but poor Chloe had to witness it, and is heartbroken and will likely turn heel, man I would like to console her, if you know what I [...]
The Mysterious Travels of Mr. Potato Head Part Two
OK, so a third unmarked, mysterious envelope arrived in the mail just a couple days later. This time I was starting to enjoy seeing where our spudly friend would be visitng and hoped that they would never stop arrriving, so I’d always have something to blog about and share with my faithful readers, however few. [...]
Monday Mission 3.19
Who are your favorite cartoon characters? Speed Racer (I was stoked to see they are finally releasing these on DVD), Popeye (this goes back to when I was a little boy), Beavis and Butthead. I liked all kids of cartoons when I was a little kid, but few have stood the test of time. Have [...]
Help!?!
Does anyone know why if you view this page in netscape 7, the spontaneous combustion logo protudes outside the framed part? I can’t seem to find an error in my code. Also that table cell is the wrong size in netscape, which is contributing to the problem. Anyone?
The Mysterious Travels of Mr. Potato Head
Awhile back I received a strange envelope in the mail. Inside was a picture, of Mr. Potato Head, near a bridge. There was no letter or anything else in the envelope. It was postmarked from San Jose, CA. I know one person who lives there, and asked him, and he said he has nothing to [...]
I am currently hooked on Golden Sun 2 for the Gameboy Advance. I’ve been using that new Gameboy Advance SP since I bought it, and it was well worth the money. I love it! Aside from directly from me, the Faction/JFA split is now available or soon to be from Revelation, Sound Idea, Dr. Strange, [...]
Friday Five
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not? I think I am pretty organized for the most part. Sometimes due to laziness I let things go, but not that often. 2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly? Not really. [...]
The Hubbard Street fire
Here is an article about that fire I wrote about in the last entry. Thankfully only one person was hurt, and not severely.
A kid who tells on another kid is a dead kid
I wrote a review and put up some more pictures from the Since By Man show the other nite. It is on the spontaneous site, and you can take the shortcut here. I hope they come play here again soon. Smallville was pretty good last nite. That Clark is a dumbass though, even as shy [...]
