3x Thursday
1.When you listen to music, do you focus on the music or the lyrics? Both? Neither? Why/why not? It depends on my mood and what I’m listening to at the time. 2. Do you have a particular favorite instrument in which you focus on when you’re listening to music? Are you able to pick out [...]
A nice wrestling-related story
Koga sent me this link to a feel-good story that is wrestling related. It made me smile because it was pretty touching.
One almost snuck by me!
Turns out they released Land of the Lost Season 2 yesterday on DVD. I didn’t even know it was scheduled to be released already, it wasn’t on the DVDTalk list. Looks like I’m hitting the store on the way home from work tonite!
Seeking a record
I am in desperate need of this particular new record: Crime – San Francisco’s Still Doomed LP (swami records) on WHITE VINYL There was a sticker on the shrink wrap indicating the white vinyl copies. I’ll gladly pay for it, and throw in some sort of nice reward to anyone who can produce me a [...]
Crippled! Help?!
They crippled our internet at work, and one of the results is the inablility now to use bit torrent as the ports it used are closed. I was getting the Howard Stern show via Torrents every day in mp3 format to listen to at work and now I can’t! I am going thru withdrawl, can [...]
The Star Wars endurance day
Saturday I did what I set out to do, I watched the entire Star Wars Trilogy DVD boxset from beginning to end, including all the extras. I started at around 1pm and finished around 11pm or so. Visually and audibly, the movies have never been better. Of course these are the new special special editions, [...]
These Arms Are Snakes 9/16/04 at Bottom Lounge
It was tough to get good shots in the very low light but a few of them came out alright. If they come thru your town, I highly recommend that you go see them.
3x Thursday
1. How do you get your music/new music these days (radio, tv, internet, friends)? What kind of music are you into right now? I still read fanzines which help. Sometimes I’ll buy something based on a description in a record store, other times I’ll buy them based on a friend’s recommendation. 2. By which medium [...]
RIP Big Bossman
I got an email from Koga, who pointed me to this link with some sad news. Another wrestler is gone. The Big Bossman. I remember when he was Big Bubba when he wrestled down south and then he had a really good run in the WWF as Big Bossman. He started out as a heel, [...]
Smallville!
Tonite is the season premier of Smallville! I can’t wait to get home to watch it, the last season ended with huge cliffhangers that I’ve been waiting all summer to see the results of.
Widescreen vs. foolscreen
I found this site which has some great example of just how much you are NOT seeing in a fullscreen (pan and scan) version of a movie. Show it to anyone who says “I hate the black bars” and maybe you can convince them that they are missing out on a lot.
The force is with me!
Today, I set the alarm early, much earlier than I ever get up. I am talking 7:40am! I good hour and 6 mins before I normally wake up for work. I picked up some clothes off the floor and put them on and grabbed my wallet and head over to Fry’s, which opened at 8am. [...]
In the “who wrote this” category…
Did anyone see last week’s Smackdown? I swear, until he started reading the poetry, the scene with Michael Cole and HEIDENREICH was eerily similar to the shower rape scene in American History X! I mean HEIDENREICH had Cole pinned to the wall and was humping him every now and then. It was the gayest, and [...]
DVDs, and more DVDs
While reading one of my favorite DVD sites forums, I learned of this little program called DVD Profiler. It sounded really interesting so I downloaded it and gave it a try. What it does is make a database of all of yr DVDs and has cool info about them like reviews, easter eggs, actor/director info, [...]
Not for sale
I had someone email me asking if I wanted to sell spontaneous.com. I wrote back and said unless it was some offer I couldn’t refuse, then it was not for sale. The person then wrote back again explaining what they wanted to do with the name and asked what I’d sell it for and said [...]
Windows and snakes
I guess there is some huge security flaw in Windows that they discovered, or more than likely, knew about and finally fixed. I know this is a common occurance but this one sounds pretty bad. Apparently you can have yr computer comprimised simply by viewing a jpg over the web. There is a fix for [...]
Huh?!
What the hell exactly is blog shares, and why should I care? I’m just curious since it was a referring link to this blog today.
Back to the Future DVD replacements
Ages ago, when the Back to the Future trilogy came out on DVD, there was an issue with all of them having framing issues. Seems someone in production f’d up big time and instead of doing a proper transfer in widescreen of film 2 and 3, they cropped a pan and scan (foolscreen) version! This [...]
Let the dorkdom commence!
Yesterdy our Dance Dance Revolution PS2 game w/2 dance pads arrived. Man we sure got those quick, which I will of course reflect in their feedback on ebay. So Lady Combustion and I unpacked the gear and took it for a test run. The game is actually a whole lot of fun, and man you [...]
The Effigies 9/10/04 at Empty Bottle
Friday nite was the Effigies show. Unfortunatly, Lady Combustion wasn’t up to going out so she bowed out. I wish she would have gone, as it was the only disappointing thing of the evening. I met up at the Clown Ranch with my klowns and we drove to the city in the van. I was [...]
The Effigies tonite
Tonite I’m to go see The Effigies play at Empty Bottle. It should be a fun evening but since I have zero energy right now, I’m not sure how I’m gonna get thru the nite. I pray that I feel better later but this week in general has been a bad one for me in [...]
Gmail
I’ve had a Gmail account for a little while now but never use it. If anyone cares to email me there, I am mvinikour[at]gmail[dot]com. I also seem to have a few invites to hand out, so if anyone wants one, drop me a line.
