last things last.

i let the vicodin take me over, and i feel the pain in my knee and hand removed... as i type this, i am listening to, "the sea and the bells," by the rachel's... music has never sounded so beautiful to me...

the new season of sopranos started of weak being the last season, but last night's episode was pure gold. i like the prospect of opening three different avenues for tony to get his due.

only four more episodes of, "24," left in the season... on the brink of war... can jack stop it? who knows...

bought a suit for the theater. chances are, and i hate getting ahead of myself, but chances are 99.9 percent that i'll be hired by next week. by my own guess. i got good references and my background check should be fine. no worries there.

i think i'll go and lay down in my bed, and just listen to music and think about a beautiful girl that i miss terribly.

tired with a twenty percent chance of a migrane.

i sit in my house, irritated that by letting my dog onto the bed with me, i blatantly invited dog urine to coat my bedsheets, leaving me to wash them... i've never yelled at a dog so much in my life.

weekends come and go so fast, it's ridiculous. if i get the projectionist job, which i think i will by the end of next week, background check which will come out fine i'm sure, then i won't even think about weekends, because i'll be working them. except for sundays. my one day off.

i went to church with mike and colby today. it was nice. i've been going on a semi-regular basis anyway, and it's nice to go with people i know.

donko came over and hung out with bob, heather, and me. fun was had by all.

i made my hormel chili dip, which, as it turns out, was succesful and there's nothing left as proof.

"patent pending," by heavens, is one of my favorite albums. period. i just framed the poster for it's past release, and is now hanging in the livingroom.

season two of, "twin peaks," is almost finished for me, and even though it's nowhere near as good as the first season, seeing david lynch as FBI regional bureau chief, gordon cole, makes it all the worth while...

werewolves and lollipops.

patton oswalt's new album, is so funny, it's impossible to describe. it's a breath of fresh air to hear a new album come from my hero of comedy, and i look forward to buying it in it's full package in july with the dvd and whatnot... for now, i need to listen to the promo copy i got some more... best line that made me lose my breath for a good five minutes?...

"hey dad, i threw your blade runner gun up on the roof... faggot..."

it's been a medicated day. i've virtually been medicated for no real reason...

i had some really good chili that this lady i work with, who thinks of me as her son, made me.

she knows i'm financially struggling so she's been making me big quantities of food to take home... this weekend, a massive bin of chili. and it's yummy.


gave the dog a bath, cleaned out my turtle, ville's tank... that's it... i'm gonna listen to some more patton and laugh.

funniest movie of the year.

it's true... i loved, "shaun of the dead." this... this is a far funnier film. cheers to edgar wright and simon pegg... nick frost too...

in other news, i'm thinking about eventually getting an 80 gig ipod. not just for the trip to europe next year, but it's comforting to think i could just lump every song or cd i have into a single little box...

it should be said about robot chicken...

robot chicken is one of my favorite shows airing on adult swim. it just is.



i'm still waiting for season two to come out on dvd, but in the mean time, i found out, that not only did george lucas himself broker half the deal, but he's also gonna star in a half hour special seth green wrote with his partner, of a robot chicken star wars spoof...

find out how it came together here.

worth a thousand words.

that image makes me giggle... because JAWS is one of my all time favorite films, and i really enjoyed black snake moan...

onto the task at hand now...



crackdown. yep. crackdown. crack down on them criminals...

initially i didn't want this game. because the demo sucked. the graphics sucked, and i just didn't want to have anything to do with it. even if they were to thrown in a halo 3 beta. to hell with them...

and then... a copy of it was given to me from a friend, to utilize on may 16th for halo 3... sweet...

somehow, i found myself putting the game in, and actually playing it... and you know what, i liked it, NAY... fell in love with it.

aside from it's completely simple structure, it makes random killing of bad guys a whole lot of fun... and what's more, imagine the excitement i got when xbox live sent me a message saying someone online wanted to join me in my pursuit of justice... a co-op player, joined in my ongoing game to help me out. a partner...

and it was then when i heard the awful banter of george clooney and that kid who played robin in the last bad batman movie...

"not just a friend... but a partner..."

the game proved itself to me to the point where when i got up in the morning before work, i played it. when i came home from work, i played it. it's addictive.

and now... i beat it... and the ending... a complete and utter let down... let's hope the sequel, woops, doesn't fail us...

...BUY IT.

not extensive at all...

nothing major to report.

in lue of being broke, i'm selling nate my guitar hero 2 set for 360. i beat it, i'm bored with it. wah-wah...

check out how much silent hill: origins on psp has changed graphically since it's inception... wow... click image for 1up's full rundown... a psp game to get excited for...

aside from the norm.

missing kate terribly. as well as mikey and colby.

found out some good news concerning a film position.

aside from only having a few ruski henchmen to dissolve in, "crackdown," like three maybe, i got the game beat.

the new sopranos was good last night. i think i've figured out what tony's fate will be.

i just got the leaked episode of the new, "heroes."

and, for the first time ever, if he makes it to the primarys, i'm voting republican this next presidential election... Mr. Rudolph William Louis Giuliani III... i want him as my president. period.

the day of pork and twin peaks...

UPDATE AS OF 9:01 PM EASTERN TIME.

i didn't really watch twin peaks all that much today... i made the ham, hung out with bob and heather for a few hours, and spent three to five hours playing, "crackdown," with xPLx Slate, in co-op mode, mowing down all three main bosses, and just having a blast... that game is like crack handjobs... like crack, but the pleasure of a good fist rub...

-END UPDATE-

a day to remember i'm sure... for this is the day of ham and the twin peaks marathon...

i am making a giant spiral cut, honey ham, along with white, sweet corn on the cob publix had on sale, six for two bucks... the ham has been in my freezer for two months... i'm broke for a while, so i will survive off of this salty pork for the next week or two... and the corn will last a day or so... i love corn on the cob...

i plan on utilizing today to get through as much of twin peaks season two as possible... i just re-watched my first season boxset, and already, can say in my opinion, that the first season was better, but overall, the show as a whole is better than i remember it when i was younger...

the pilot of, "kids in the hall," which hasn't been seen in it's entirety since the 80's on hbo, is coming to dvd in june... all i need is that, and season five, and i'm caught up on my, "kids in the hall," geekdom...

i went to see...

last night... and honestly... it was really good.

it is a modernized version of the james stewart classic, "rear window," and later re-make with christopher reeves in the title role made for tv...

but what differes this aside from current locale settings, it's much more intense and graphic...

even the stupid humor evens out the film with the equality the thrills present...

my only complaint was lack of reasoning for why the killer was a killer, because, damn... there was a lot of corpses in his crawlspace... and, a day after everything, a happy ending is brought on without second thought of the brutality of what just happened a day before...

but as a whole... good way to kill two hours...

something from my childhood comes out this week on dvd...

"the infallible blade of injustice will be engraved..."

there's nothing like the feeling of feeling weak willed by how broke you are...

hal hartley made a follow-up to his amazing film, "henry fool," and the original cast is back in fay grim.

claudio and co. made a video for one of my favorite songs off his, "prize fighter inferno," album, "my brother's blood machine." the video for, "who watches the watchmen," is below...

Who Watches The Watchmen?

for some reason, i really want to see, "disturbia."

my big toe hurts cause i cut it...

i'm tired today.

i got a citation from the lee county code enforcement for having, "horticultural waste," in my backyard... what does that mean?

it means, the tree limbs i cut down, that i've been taking out in limited loads for the city to pick up, were too painful to look at for one of my moron neighbors, who anonymously called in the complaint...

so... i clean up the branches, and then... go around my neighborhood completely, and find things that are eyesores to me, and call them in... everyone's going down with me...

it's bad enough i'm embarrased by this, but the fact that the branches are in my backyard, out of visual sight, confirmed by the enforcement agent himself, on my property... it's stunning... stunning that i pay out the backside in taxes and mortgage installments, now, i can't have my own backyard however i choose to leave it... granted, i didn't want the branches there, but even if i did, it is MY yard...

neighbors, old people especially, are the worst... someone needs to take me out of commission when i turn fifty.

i still miss kate.

and crackdown is so good... and, xbox live... 3D mini-golf is FUN!

"how can a rooftop view in london, look just the same as one in brooklyn?"

day 3 of the abscence of her. that english woman who turned my world upside right in under two days...

yesterday, i traveled to ten different 7-11's and sought after the three, spiderman 3 hologram cups, finding them all, and enjoying the wild cherry slurpee treat, just so i could think of something else other than her... it worked for an hour and after the brainfreezes, i went back to thinking about her... i hope her flight was okay... almost ninteen hours long...

today, to keep my mind in check, i bought big mac's, since it was buy one, get one for a penny for tax day... that didn't work... she's still on my mind and my belt needs loosening.

i hurt my shoulder somehow at work, so... that sucked.

i actually find myself enjoying, "crackdown," as opposed to the awful demo i experienced some months prior to playing the actual game...

the two new halo 2 maps that were released today, were almost damn near impossible to get because somehow, bungie had a bug in the files, and after persistence, of an hour, i got the maps downloaded, but because of the bug, xbox was telling customers to try downloading tomorrow, as bungie would be offline tonight fixing the problem, so, now that i have the maps, no one else seems to, and i can't play them unless i choose to wander around like a giddy little moron in his own private universe, shooting at things that aren't there and quietly pooping my pants... just kidding about the pooping...

i really am trying to not curse anymore. some might find this to be a fruitless effort, but i want to try and be a better person. and i think i can do it. i curb myself around important people at work and at church, so i think i should be able to do it in my personal life. although i let the f-bomb slip close to twenty times today, each time i caught myself too late, following it up with a, "DAMMIT! sorry..."

and since my shoulder is sore, i popped a pain go bu-bye pill, and will begin reading the new issue of game informer with the huge grand theft auto IV cover story article... woot!

werewolves and lollipops.

patton oswalt's new album, "werewolves and lollipops," will be released by, you heard it correctly, subpop records, on july 10 of '07. sweetness.

aqua teen movie was okay but not great.

new sopranos was better than the last by leaps and bounds... i don't know if i like the disarming christopher angle, but i still enjoy it.

ghost rider on ps2 looks good, and plays fine, but is repetitive and a rehashing of, "god of war."

halo 2 has two new maps tomorrow on live...

the girl i met this weekend is in the air right now, on her way back to england... i spent the day inbetween work, driving to 7-11's, collecting the spiderman 3 hologram cup sets to try and keep from thinking about how much i already miss her, and only after two days of knowing her... life seems to make sense when you stare down the plastic burrows of a wild cherry slurpee. i'm going to england next year. that much is for certain.

my heart reads... sorrow.

the tagline for, "before sunrise," is...

"can the greatest romance of your life only last one night?"

i feel numb and lost. and bummed... this weekend was amazing, and now... life is back to life...

"so we meet again, and i offer my hand, of dry, and english woe..."

in my memory, i cannot find a place in my life where i have been as happy as i am now... i feel utter gratitude for mike and colby in my life, and god for second chances... this has been the greatest day and night of my life. period.

Just one look into your eyes
One look and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one kiss and I'm alive
One kiss and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one touch and I'm on fire
One touch and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one smile and I'm wild
One smile and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful

Oh and you're so beautiful
My darling
Oh you're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Oh my baby
You're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
Oh my darling
Oh my baby
And you're so beautiful

-beautiful [H.I.M.]

how's this for a kick in the ol' silver spheres...

i can't find the picture of angus scrimm [tall man from phantasm,] and me from the '99 fangoria weekend of horror convention anywhere in my old back-ups, yet, i did find the pic of him and my younger brother, paul. paul was 14 at the time. how's that for some shit...

heating up.

caught up on 24. check.

the new sopranos episode left me feeling salty. the next eight better be tremendously good or i will be a fucking mess.

aqua teen hunger force this friday. also this friday, the wedding.

i'm tired and for some reason, my house is ice cold... the temp says it's in the mid-seventies, but i've got warm socks on as well as sweat pants... i'm seriously feeling like mr. freeze...

jim beam and the new blog eras.

i almost didn't get to make this post... blogger i guess is affiliated with google now, and i had to go through the arduous process of creating a google acount, yada yada yada...

i finally killed the bottle of jim beam that was adorning my desk for some time now... it's odd how it tastes smooth inside my mouth, almost rich and soothing, and as i swallow, it's as if i drank firey gasoline... and the aftertaste is almost that of ashes...

i'm listening to the cure, and awaiting the download of the newest sopranos episode that has leak, ontop of the last four episodes of 24... no life.

i am making a run today though. going to spirits and wine... i need a bottle of spumante, and a bottle of either crown royal or captain morgan... maybe some kahluah... i forgot how good alcohol made me feel...

also, i re-began watching season one of twin peaks to catch up with the new season two dvd set... i forgot how truly great the show is... easily my all time favorite show. no question.

grinding in the house...

i was just on...


with jon and lee...

i like the concept of a live call-in talkshow podcast, via lanlines and computers... tomorrow, the episode should be up for download. listen to me briefly in the beginning, and the end, with refrences to my text chat shenanigans sprinkled inbetween... not the focus of the show by any means, but fun none the less. i miss jon living here in spite of his lazy lifestyle... dammit... i miss him.

"grindhouse," the movie i've been waiting for, for some time now, comes out tomorrow. now, i'm tempted to go tomorrow, and then again on saturday with mikey.

true, i normally hate seeing a movie in the theater twice, but i have a feeling, "grindhouse," will be just too good not to want to see twice...

last night's south park and lost...

first, south park... this season of south park is bar none the funniest to come around since season eight. the whole concept of spoofing the da vinci code, with krull... priceless...

LOST... i'm starting to hate the show like most of the people i've been hearing on the radio... the past two episodes, including last nights, left a sour taste in my mouth...

i'm tired of seeing glimpses of the black clouds here and there and finding out nothing about them... and where's the fucking dinosaurs...? i want a t-rex on that island...

anywhoo... i'm gonna get a diet coke, and play some F.E.A.R. on 360... good friday... i got it off. WOOT!

survivalism. bullshit.

i took off from work today because i was having back pains. i went to the doctor... i happened to tell him about my right arm and hand going numb frequently... i may have carpel tunnel syndrom... woohoo... i'm on anti-somethingorothers...

i got nine inch nails, "year zero," album. it leaked, and as i suspected, it's just as bad as, "with teeth," was... what the fuck happened to trent reznor?

i also feel i should recommend a stand-up album to you...

click image to buy

greg giraldo is one of my new favorite comedians... this album is the first really funny stand-up album i've heard since patton oswalt's, "pennysylvania macaroni company e.p."

i promise you will laugh...

my birthday. one of the best in a long time...

i'll be brief... because i need a shower, and rather than take one when i got home, i played videogames... oh yes...

most of my birthdays i've celebrated in solace. one year i had a bunch of people over, they got loaded, i got frustrated, and that was the end of parties here.

i've never been big on them. and i've never really expected to get any gifts from anyone because i'm poor and can never afford to get anyone else a gift... but i'm not a material person by trade. not when it comes to having someone give me a present. i might make a suggestion as to something i'd like to have, but it's just me whining that i can't afford it.

regardless, this birthday was the best.

i am now 27.

stoned. happy. gamered. three descriptive words about my birthday.

mikey got me this:



bob and heather came over and we had a good afternoon of laughter and they're moving back in next month... with shana in tow... that's a great present!

bryan and bridget took me out to dinner, got me a barbie dairy queen ice cream cake cause those cakes rule, and... something i gotta pay for in the long run...



let's talk about the wii for a second...

frustrating this system is when it comes to figuring out what the fuck to do. it's like a combo of a giga pet, a tivo, and a robot dog mixed with a downed-syndrome kid... that is all.

and for myself... i traded up a lot of shit for this, and oh my... is it so fucking worth it...



thas' right... not that pussy ass ps2 version you scene douchers got... i got's the 360 megaload bizznizzies... stick that in your pipe and smoke it...

turning japanese, or turning 27?

i figured i should make a post today, since tomorrow is my birthday, i won't be doing much of anything...

last night, i went, alone, and saw...



if you liked, "anchorman," and, "talledega nights,"... it's a safe bet you'll like this. i laughed out loud in a theater full of older people, at some of the best, and raunchiest, will ferrell humor. seriously, the movie is funny as hell.

one of many good lines:

"no... i don't remember that, prince charming... i was high on qualudes..."

today was a pretty eventful day. i finally got around to re-starting, "the sopranos: road to respect," on ps2 yesterday, hadn't played it since november of last year, and beat it this morning around ten.



it leaves a sour taste in my mouth as far as endings go... you, big pussy's illegitimate son, joey la rocca, end up getting made and the game ends... however, the story takes place before season six, and in reality, in season six, there is no joey la rocca ever mentioned... WTF?

got a little... juicy, in honor of getting old. i have good friends.

had some sonny's with bob and heather, laughed until we got headaches, and bob's mom made me a banana split pie, her specialty, for my birthday.

i rented two of those, "8 films to die for horrorfest features," and, "the pursuit of happyness."



and... bryan and bridget bought extra Wii's and are selling me one, and allowing me to pay them when i get the money... so... tomorrorw, I WILL OWN A WII!!!! WOOT TO THE FUCKIN' HOOT!
