I saw Dave yesterday, and he brought me the recording he made when we all listened to Zaireeka at Stu’s house, some three months ago. Been a little while! As a summary, Zaireeka is a four CD album made by The Flaming Lips, and it’s designed to be played using four separate CD players, all…
This is the thing about having cool Internet friends… they make fun shit like this without even blinking: Tiger Army: Cupid’s Victim

So a long, long time ago I got a copy of The Chemical Brothers‘ Loops of Fury as an mp3 file. Loved it. It’s one of the songs I play whenever I’ve got to get a lot of shit done quickly, a good song to play if I’m meaning to crank a lot of things…
Walking home, I ran into one of the guys that work at Sam’s Liquor’s. He was just standing outside, smoking a cigarette. I think his name is Scott – I’m not sure. I’m going to call him Scott here, until I find out otherwise. Anyhow, I saw Scott playing chess with someone else that worked…
^— If you know where this reference is from, you and I need to do some serious drinking. An article was shared on twelvestone that talked about North Korea’s revolutionary singing. It reminded me of a link that I came across a long, long time ago about corporate anthems. That second one is soooo worth…
Justin mentioned taking a day out of the week to just hunker down somewhere and study. He’s been doing this off and on for a while now, and we talked about making it a set weekly thing. God knows there’s tons of stuff I could read up on, and I could even use it as…
is just get a few things sussed out in ActionScript. I was really looking forward to that.
I was in a pretty shitty mood all day today, and it didn’t end until around 4:00 PM. Morning involved lots of little things and, before I knew it, I was in a company-wide benefits meeting to discuss Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment. A good thing to know about and have, I guess,…
We swung by Justin’s place (where Emma was taking a nap). We decompressed a bit before heading out for dinner as a group. While we were at Justin’s, we ended up splitting a beer, and digging in to some homemade applesauce and part of that chocolate cake I got. Dave and I also paused to…
Meh. The documentary was alright. Our concensus was that the filmmakers did a good job with what little information they had. There were a few moments that were, in my opinion, spectacular… but there were equally the same number of times when the film just got a bit too artsy and touchy-feely for my liking….
As I walked to the Division stop to meet up with Dave, I noticed a Chinese restaurant on Milwaukee that I hadn’t seen before. I actually stopped walking and looked at the sign for a good long while. This reminded me of Invader Zim, a cartoon that I got introduced to a while back. The…
