My HoroSpoke

Posted on December 26, 2005 | 1 comment

My HoroSpoke for this past week says:

From the viewpoint of an unbiased bystander, you’ve got your shit straight. You’re balancing a myriad of those spinny plate things and have yet to drop a single fucking one. Bravo. Unfortunately, I’m not an unbiased bystander; I’m your overly opinionated astrologer. Sweets, you need to cut the shit and deal with some of those fucking skeletons. They have escaped your unorganized closet and are making their way down Broadway to parade all that stands for your misery. Go tackle those bastards before you have a breakdown during their final dance all over your lack of balls.

Wow! Some of that’s not so far off these days…

Good Morning! Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Posted on December 25, 2005 | 1 comment

Merry Christmas!! I was going to try and sleep a little more but my mother is visiting and is downstairs trying to use the remote control to turn the lights on down there. But she keeps blinking lights (and relays) on and off in my room. Scared the crap out of me! I guess I should get up so we can eat and do the present thing. Yea!!!

Everyone have fun today and don’t forget to be nice to your family :)

I’ll have a report on some of my loot later…

Merry Christmas Eve

Posted on December 24, 2005 | 1 comment

I’ve been out doing a little more shopping today, I didn’t think the stores were bad at all. Some stores had long queues but lots of registers open, so I didn’t wait much more than an average day. Plus, I cashed in one of my gift certificates and bought Makers: All Kinds of People Making Amazing Things In Their Backyard, Basement or Garage while at Borders (thanks!).

Everyone please drive safe and take care today. Be nice to your family even if they are making you cRaZy!

Two Free iTunes Videos

Posted on December 23, 2005 | Leave a comment

Two free videos from the iTunes Music Store. You don’t need an iPod to see these, you just need the free iTunes software installed.

  • Chronicles of Narnia Rap, which I mentioned a few days ago.
  • Battlestar Galactica, a 21 minute behind the scenes (which I haven’t watched yet).

    Three Movie Previews

    Posted on December 23, 2005 | Leave a comment

    So I was watching “Coming Attractions” a weekly show on E! that shows six or eight movie previews in a half hour (I TiVo this every week). Three new ones (new to me at least) in particular caught my eye:

  • Take the Lead (March 24, 2006): A slightly new twist on the substitute teacher in the NY public schools detention room. Antonio Banderas is the former professional dancer (instructor?) who subs for the class during the day and brings ballroom to them. Based on the story of ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane. This looks really good.
  • Imagine Me And You (January 27, 2006 Limited Release): Another new twist on love, wanting what you can’t have and how to know if they’re “the One”. This looks great! It has a bunch of people I’ve never seen before (other than Giles from Buffy who plays the father of the possible bride to be). I’m looking forward to a trip to the Main or Maple in January (this would be the theaters most likely to get these limited release movies).
  • The DaVinci Code (May 2006): I’m only mentioning it because I was very interested in this movie. Tom Hanks with Ron Howard directing, it’s just got to be good. This preview was such a snoozer that I just had to mention it with my two good previews. Although I did like that Jean Reno was going to be in it, I’ve always liked min.

    Free Christmas Tree – Looking for a Good Home

    Posted on December 22, 2005 | Leave a comment

    If there is someone who needs* a Christmas tree I have a very nice artificial 7.5 foot Martha Stewart brand tree to give away. It’s only two or three years old and in great shape. It’s just a pain to assemble so I bought a three piece pre-lit tree this year. All you have to do is make arrangements to come pick it up, I’m in the Dearborn (Detroit) Michigan area. As soon as it is claimed I will post it is reserved (which means they haven’t picked it up yet) and or taken. Please feel free to e-mail me about this (be sure to answer the immediate auto-reply you will get) include a phone number to make arrangements.

    SORRY, THE TREE HAS BEEN TAKEN.

    Hospital Rooms

    Posted on December 21, 2005 | 1 comment

    So I remember having to come home from college one week when my Grandfather was really sick. I was really close to him, my Mom and I lived with him and Grandma until I was six or seven. I don’t even remember what it was for but I know it was a really big deal. I had to get a professor to let me have an extension on a big exam (maybe it was a final) for a “family emergency”. I really liked the Prof but he was a pain in many ways and he asked for a note. I remember saying that “if everything went well there wouldn’t be anything to get a note for”, he said no problem and told me to reschedule the exam later.

    HappyNews.com

    I’ve always thought this would be a good idea for a web site but it seems like it’d be more work than I have time to do. The HappyNews site promises “Real News. Compelling stories. Always Positive.”
