Home again
Back home from the final trip this year to CA for work. I’m gonna miss the people I worked with and miss my home away from home. I’ll have an update tonite or tomorrow with pix of the trip and the JFA show.
Why United Airlines is the shits
United officially is on my shit list for the following: 1. When you book a flight, and specify Aisle seating, they will put you in the middle anyway. 2. They will be late. 3. Now, instead of a free shitty meal on yr flight, they will SELL you a shitty meal. You have a choice [...]
Raw Thoughts and off to CA!
While it didn’t get my full attention because I was packing and preparing for my journey back to CA again, last nite’s Raw really was pretty lousy. Between the stupid as fuck Diva Search to the uber-ghey Lita/Kane bullshit, it didn’t leave much in the way of entertainment and you know, actual WRESTLING. Edge/Jericho was [...]
Attention California…
As luck will have it, I’ll be in town for this… Who is going with me? This is the first time JFA has played in a few years!
These Arms Are Snakes/Since By Man 7/28/04
I took these at the excellent Since By Man/These Arms Are Snakes show at the Fireside Bowl on 7/28/04. Eventually all the good ones will be up on the spontaneous site but since I have a backlog of stuff to get to for that, who knows when that day will come. These Arms Are Snakes [...]
South Park gives SC the nod!
The Lady Combustion and I were watching some TV on the Tivo, and one of the shows I record is South Park (since before I had the Tivo, I could never remember to watch it), and what would this particular episode be called? That’s right, Spontaneous Combustion!
Good luck Earthquake!
Many of you old WWF fans (now known as WWE) may remember Earthquake. Well, Earthquake in real life is a man named John Tenta and he has been battling cancer for a little while now. Seems John got some sad news and the prognosis is not good. I hope he outlives the prognosis and somehow [...]
Return of the King???
Does anybody know if/when they are doing an extended DVD edition of LOTR: Return of the King like they did with the first two movies? I’d have thought it would be in time for xmas but I don’t see it anywhere on a release list.
Nevermind
Upon closer inspection (ie: viewing the box art at a larger size), it turns out that Godzilla box set contains movies I already own on DVD! Dammit, they just collect them together in a box. However all is not lost, for the same day this, this, and this, come out and I don’t have any [...]
A new toy
I got a new cell phone the other day, the Motorola V710 cameraphone. It is pretty cool, but I won’t get the full enjoyment out of it until I can get one of the damn memory cards that is on backorder everywhere on earth! I need that to transfer pix, ringtones, mp3s, etc from the [...]
Um, yeah….OK
SPV just released a video for the song from the new Skinny Puppy album. The song is called “Pro Test” and you can watch the video here. Read more… or Read more right here… » What the fuck is that thing?! SP had some of the coolest and most innovative videos back in their day. [...]
My quiet town isn’t so quiet today
This morning when I was driving to the post office before work (to mail a mountain of Cheifs 7″s out), I happened to have the radio on and during the traffic report they had some interesting news. Seems that downtown Downers Grove, between Maple and Curtis was blocked off and shut down and they evacuated [...]
Finally one of those stupid tests that is accurate!
you are either a record nerd or not a scenester atall. you are the coolest of the bunch. bravo,dude. what type of lame scenester are you? brought to you by Quizilla
Of cars and graves
So my car ended up costing me nearly 400 bucks when all was said and done. What a f’n ripoff. If there was a way to get by without it, I’d smash the thing to pieces and be done with driving altogether. After paying all that money which could have been better spent on other [...]
What a way to start the week
I get up this morning, get ready and then go to leave for work and get in the car. I put the key in, turn in and nothing! The fucking thing was dead. It worked fine yesterday and just sat in the garage all nite. Lady Combustion and I try to jump it off her [...]
