Archive for December, 2003

Dirty Dick Slater, a former pro-wrestler, just got arrested for stabbing his ex-girlfriend. While I know that the ladies will wrong you, often, it is not grounds to actually try and kill them!

Last nite #2, Skadoo, and I went up to the Tivoli (aka: The Best Theatre on Earth) to see School of Rock. It was a pretty fun movie, and well worth the $3 admission. The popcorn was also great as always and served as my dinner last nite. After that, I went home and ripped a bunch more CDs for my Ipod. Today’s musical selection driving in was Adrenalin OD.

I can’t beleive 2003 is over, it seemed to fly by so fast. A lot happened to me this year, mostly good, some bad, but overall this was a much better year than I have had in a long time. I hope the upcoming new year fares even better. I guess only time will tell.

My new years eve will be spent over at Keith’s party again this year. I don’t know how many people will be there, but there will be food, pinball and darts at least. Had I not been working today, I would have accompanied the assklowns up to Rochester, MN today as their band is playing up at Keith’s skatepark. I’m kind of bummed about not being able to go with, but I couldn’t take any more days off work. I do have friday off though, so I have a nice 4-day weekend. I look forward to sleeping well into the double digits for the next 4 days.

Happy new year everyone, have fun tonite, be safe, and have a few serums for me.

The ladies that is. I just got a card in the mail from Kristin, who if you long time readers may recall, was a friend of mine for 12 years. Earlier this year, however, she decided to cease all communication with me for no apparent reason. She didn’t return my calls, or emails, and when I saw her on instant msg, she ignored me. She had also stopped mailing me tapes of her radio show. I had totally written her off as a complete asshole for doing that and figured I’d never hear from her again. Then in the mail on saturday I get a xmas card from her, and she wrote a letter in there filling me in on crap that she has been up to since we last spoke. No mention of why she stopped talking to me or anything. She did put at the end she hopes I don’t hate her or something like that. Very strange indeed.

I saw a link to this article about Cris Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets getting shot while perusing the daghouse board today. Drugs will make you do some pretty stupid things and apparently Cris has had a long history of drug problems, which led to the demise of the Meat Puppets.

Get firewire card for laptop to replace the one I was borrowing from co-worker so I can rip cds anywhere in the house and transfer them to the Ipod

Post the new pictures I received of Mr. Potatohead and his adventures. I’m sorry my oblong friend, I have not forgotten you, I’ve just been busy. I received email with pix from him, and some in the real mail too!

Start scanning images and laying out the booklet for the Mentors CD on Mystic Records for promised January delivery.

Laundry!

Post some stuff on ebay to recoup some $ spent on xmas gifts, and to fund future purchases.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will shill on ebay. “Hey, I went to high school with these famous punk rockers, I think I’ll sell my yearbook on ebay!”

It would have been more useful if the seller at least didn’t obscure the photos with those stupid guitar picks. But I guess you gotta pay the big bucks in order to see such “rare photos”.
