R2-D2
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/cesvideo/139
It is perhaps one of the most awesomest Star Wars gadgets to buy. I would install a tray on top to hold my cocktail drinks just like Return of the Jedi when 3CPO and R2D2 got captured by Jabba the Hutt in a failed attempt to release the carbonite frozen Han Solo.
Nerd Alert
All Systems Go! We're gonna take over!
Saturday night, the Pomona Glass House was filled with nerds as the Aquabats performed to once again a sell out crowd. Armed with my checkered belt, checkered tie, and checkered frames with aluminum foil horns I skanked my way through the masses along with the Commander to third wave ska melodies.
If someone walked by the venue not knowing who the Aquabats were, they would easily think it was a sci-fi convention. It was great to be with my people. Nerds, geeks, dorks unite! High five to super sweet awesomenous!
Vegas Without Me
I checked my credit card activity yesterday only to find unauthorized transactions to:
- Rite Aid - $107
- Hookah Palace - $390
- Artisan Cafe - $240
All in Vegas. Apparently someone has my credit card info and has found a way to use it without my card present; manual punching it in. Well, I closed my account and now have the hassle to get my shit notorized at CitiBank.
I seriously have bad karma floating around me. Stay away, I'm infected.
Version 2.0
Revamp, improved, spacious. The room is now clean. Tore down the pictures from my walls and replaced them with a Nirvana and Rat Pack Vegas poster.
Installed the receiver, surround sound, HD-Antenna, HD-Satellite Receiver. I even set up my laptop to be viewed on the 50" screen and the sound to be played on the system.
Quite lovely.
Besides that, the cleaning process brought about nostalgic memories as I found many old photographs. I placed each one into a large box of sentimental value alongside old trophies, certificates that state that I outscored 99% of students in a state-wide Biology & Geometry test (dude, I use to be smart, what the fuck happened), and my Nintendo robot.
Happy Birthday Ate (Sister)!
The bumps and bruises from years' past have healed. We are older and wiser, but you still like Hello Kitty and I still like Voltron.
You're a Capricorn and I'm an Aries. You're Catholic while I go to a buffet of religions and idealogies. You like the Chargers, I like the 49ers. You liked to color with crayons back in the day, I liked to eat them. You want to name the next dog Kirby, I want to name him Zero. After all this, we somehow found a way to coexist like day is to night.
Anyways, Happy Birthday Sis!
From your wisest, handsomest, yet humble brother.
Its the Mirrors
Let's see, this weekend Tea, Ray, Kat, and I helped Deb move. After 5 hours of goofing around moving we ate at a ghetto Shakey's and drank an ol' favorite; Amber-bock.
Sunday, cleaned and threw away a bunch of crap that I've been saving for some odd reason (I'm a pack-rat). I seem to find sentiment value in everything. I have the old school Nintendo Robot for example.
After watching football and winning my side bet
There I purchased, a 50" Samsung DLP HDTV, 1000 watt Panasonic sound system, and an HDTV DirectTV Receiver.
Some say, "It's too big." I say, "Its the Mirrors."
There she is... what a beauty. Oh Lily, my one and only. I love you!
Happy 25 3/4 Birthday to me!!! (Jan 6th)
Darn DirectTV can't install my HD Satellite till Feb 13th. Oh well, MOVIE TIME
Pan's Labyrinth
No Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, or Pixie Dust here. This is simply a fantastic film engulfing the audience into what fairy tales use to be; dark. Del Toro does a magnificient job in blending reality and fantasy where as M. Night Shyamalan failed.
I highly recommend this, as Dane Cook says, Cinimatic Adventure.
Its in subtitles, so that may turn off most viewers who bitch about not wanting to read while watching a movie.
I started to understand the spanish without reading the subtitles near the end. Its as if the film unlocked my hidden spanish ability. Although I do the same thing when I watch French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, etc films.
Weekend Plans
Moving Deb's refrigerator from one apartment to another using these guns from the gun show. ::Flex::
Get some football practice in for the upcoming game on the 27th.
Build karma. Meditate.
Indie Rock show.
Older by the Hair
I managed to grow a light beard. I look like I'm in my late twenties.
The fountain of youth is in my MACH 3 Razor.
Rockin' Rollin' Twenties
Another ticket stub to add to my box. Another "back in the day" moment to tell my Grandkids. Another drop in my hearing level. Another thousand braincells killed off.
Another smile to add to my memory.
Unwritten Law rocked the Glass House.
Me, a role model?
Went home early the other day so I decided to go to the House of Blues and see if I could get tickets to see NOFX that night. Before leaving, I usually grab my cigs since a beer and a cancer stick go hand in hand in perfect harmony. This time I could not because my nieces were still in my room watching the Disney Channel. I felt like I had the responsibility to be a role model to them.
Anyways, as I was leaving, the little one told me, "I don't want you to go. Stay here and play."
Gee golly, that pulled on the Jessmeister's heart strings. But I told her I'd see her tomorrow and stay until their Mommy picks them up. I will make good on that promise even if I'm late to see the band, Unwritten Law, tonight.
I feel like that scene when Darth Vader turns good again in Return of the Jedi except I don't die, have a swiveled up head, and have my body burned on Endor on top of an Ewok treehouse.
May the Force be with you all this weekend.
