How Much Happy

Posted on September 14, 2008

DB posted a tweet about how he only has 39 songs with the word “Happy” in the name in his iTunes library. So he decided that this should be a game. How much happy do you have in your library? My library, not that happy. Only 7 here:

Crap. Tagged Again

Posted on July 9, 2007

As DB was bothered about being tagged for a meme, as am I. But I’ve got nothing else going on at the moment, so I’ll take the chance to post something. This is a favorite podcasts dealie. Podcasts are fun as long as I have the time for them. Some of my top choices are:

• White Roof Radio – I’ll continue to shill for them for as long as they run, which by the way, is just past the two year mark now. Not bad for a ‘cast about MINI Coopers.
• The Reverend Preaches – The good reverend’s podcast is a jumbling of rambles about whatever’s going on, and whatever’s good. I like the guy, and he’s a local boy as well. And he does an awesome read of the The Hannah Chronicles.
• Astronomy Cast – A weekly podcast all about the secrets of the universe, but easy to understand. Astronomy is awesome.
• The Art of the Drink – Although it’s currently on hiatus, AotD is a badass video podcast that each week focuses on how to make one drink. I’ve gotten some great ideas and tips from there. As a bonus, AotD girl Melissa is insanely hot.
• Adobe Creative Suite Video Podcast – Hosted by Terry White, this is Adobe’s official podcast to show off some of the neat features of Adobe CS3, along with some great tips and howtos. Good stuff.
• Seoul Glow – I like the idea of traveling to other countries. May pay scale says I can’t do that yet. So for now I have to settle for great podcasts like Seoul Glow, which shows me little bits and pieces about life in South Korea. Good to get your culturin’ in.

And that’s it. There are other good ones I subscribe to, like Bonjour America, Aperture Tips, and Be A Design Cast (again, run by some local boys), and those are good too. But I’m tired of writing. So screw off all of you. And who gets tagged next? You do. Go ahead and write up your favorites and post a link in the comments, iffin you want.

Crap.

I guess I should post. It’s been a while. But I got tagged for one of those meme things the kids love so much, not just by Bernie but also by BoK. So I guess I gotta do it. What’s this one about? Oh, six things that are maybe not so well known about me. I may not go as full out as BoK did and talk about shitting myself or anything, but there are still things that are not well known. I am, after all, a man of mystery.

I’m Not a Jerk – At least not as much as I seem. I’m actually really nice underneath it all, and for as much as I say I dislike children, animals, and the elderly, sometimes they can actually grow on me. Sometimes. And whenever I glare at Jill for making me do work, I actually don’t mind so much.

My Bathroom is Fucking Disgusting – Not just bachelor-gross, but like so gross even I don’t like going in there. I have my own private master bathroom, with a toilet and a sink and a medicine cabinet/mirror. The toilet grows this weird black mold that I have to clean away every week, and it keeps coming back no matter how much Clorox I use. Fingernail and toenail clippings usually go into the toilet for easy disposal, but sometimes I miss. Also there are three or four empty toilet paper packages ‘cuz I haven’t thrown them away. And the sink and counter is now covered in hairs because I trimmed my beard last night. I’ve got a stack of eWeek magazines that I’m working through too. And I haven’t taken the little trash out in forever. Not bad for someone who is otherwise generally germophobic.

I Can Remember Names and Details of Every Cute Girl I’ve Ever Met – I’m not creepy, I swear. It’s just that I have a very strong memory for names and faces. And if a girl is attractive, she just stands out that much more. I just have good memory recall, and I like girls. It’s not weird, serious.

I’m a Compulsive Liar – I don’t lie to hurt people, just to have fun. I guess I’m quick-witted and creative enough that I can come up with stuff at the top of my head, and combined with the fact that most people can’t tell when I’m joking and when I’m serious (it’s a blessing… and a curse), I’m a great bullshitter. I just do it to make trouble, and to see how far I can go. And I’ve gone pretty far too, whether I’m making up science, or making up children (that’s a good story, I’ll have to tell that one here some time…)

I Am Not Superstitious At All – I absolutely do not believe in ghosts, spirits, afterlife, bad luck, aliens*, etc. I think it’s all just foolish nonsense.

*It’s not that I don’t believe in life on other planets, I just don’t think they’ve been here any time recently.

I Really Like Whiskey – And vodka, and scotch, and liqueurs and cordials, and booze in general. The good stuff too. If I can devote myself to being a connoisseur of such things, awesome.

Now comes the part wherein with a heavy heart I must pin this meme thing on someone else, lest it die here a sad death like an ignored chain letter promising certain doom. So let’s see, umm, Paul, DB the playa, Mojo Hannah, and erin. Go forth and make yourselves useful!

I Rock So Hard…

…that they had to create seven of me to spread out the awesomeness over.

Also, 7’s pretty low. There are 23 Charles Darwinses and we all know how popular he is today. And 12 Marilyn Mansons. Odd that.

Return of the LJ Hotties

Posted on October 8, 2006

In a move that will be sure to make some folks happy, I have decided to bring back an old favorite, the return of the hotties of LiveJournal. And this time, I’m hosting the pictures locally, so they are less likely to disappear! Remember, all photos belong to proper hottie, and are posted here without any implied consent.

For more LJ hotties: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, and the Halloween Special Edition

One of them “meme” things.

Posted on September 27, 2006

I got tagged by Erin to do it, but I’ll be danged if I’m going to propogate it. So if anyone wants to do it, they may feel free. It’s something called a 7tube tagger thingamajig. I’m not sure where the tube comes into play. But I’m supposed to post seven songs that have been in frequent rotation on my iPod as of late. So here goes:

1. Los Angeles I’m Yours – The Decemberists
2. James – Josh Rouse
3. La Vecina – Los Amigos Invisibles
4. 2 Horse – Sir Mix-a-Lot
5. Dead Man’s Party – Oingo Boingo
6. Déjate Caer – Café Tacuba
7. Revolution Get Down – The Bellrays

There you have it. All them links open up in iTunes.

Haha! Memes!

Apple Rumours

Posted on February 26, 2006

Since Apple rumours are going off the charts for the special event on Tuesday, including: the video iPod, Intel Mac mini, iSight-sportin’ 13-inch widescreen MacBook, Media Cube, “touch finger LCDs,” 17-inch MacBook Pro, Mac tablet and a hi-fi iPod boombox, I figured I’d add to it. I heard that come Tuesday, Steve is going to definitely definitely definitely announce a 256 Mb iPod Shuffle. It will retail for the bargain basement price of $39. That’s it. All that’s coming. Maybe an update for the Airport base station too. But nothin’ else.

Friday Random Five

Posted on February 17, 2006

All the chicks dig it! It’s the Friday Random 5!

• The Bravery – An Honest Mistake | Gonna start this week off with one of those ’80s new wave revival groups that are so popular with the kids these days. A little bit whiny, but still a good song.
• Trio Electrico – Ego Poem | Trio Electrico is a down-tempo group with a lot of dub influence as well. Some good stuff.
• Nine Inch Nails – Piggy | NIN is in town tonight, so I’d be remiss to not include a track by Trent ‘n’ crew. This tribute to a cop is about as mellow as they get.
• Oingo Boingo – Only a Lad | The new wave fun continues! Skeletons in the Closet is an awesome album to put on for either your ’80s party or really any party in general. Listen to certain tracks, and you can hear little prequels to the scores from Batman, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, and Nightmare before Christmas, all movies scored by Boingo’s Danny Elfman.
• Indochine – L’aventurier | Yet more new wave. iTunes is in a mood this week. This one comes from France.

No shirt, no iTunes, no service.
