Sick day

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I ended up not going in to work because I was feeling very craptacular. In between napping and drinking fluids I saw a cool Kung-Fu movie, Iron Monkey. Thanks Netflix! Iron Monkey is a comedy as much as it is an action movie and the fight scenes were pretty sweet. Very frenetic and ass-kickin’. I just learned that the little boy was played by a little girl…have I been in San Francisco so long that it has dulled my gender-recognition abilities? Jeez, I just thought he was a weird little kid, had no idea that it was a girl. Regardless, she kicks ass. Definitely worth a rental.

Bacon and Eggs

This video is not for the squeamish. Meet your meat. How do you like your steak cooked?

Calling All Fiends

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

Right now I’m listening to the Calling All Fiends Compilation. This is some excellent Halloween music, not corny like your typical Halloween music but scary and full of dark vibrations and sinister rhythms. I’m only on track seven of thirty-one and I’m already worried that I won’t be able to sleep. Did I mention that this is over an hour of legally-free music?

The Hat Man

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

I find hats to be funny. Sure, there are useful hats but I’m not talking about useful hats. I’m talking religious hats.

If I ever get reincarnated as a god, or God, or whatever, I will do my best to let everyone know that no hats are necessary to worship me. Anytime I, as all-knowing and all-powerful Mighty Blah Blah Man, discovered somebody wearing a hat to please me I would take my godly finger and point it at their face. Thunderous laughter-of-the-gods would ensue.

Socks in the shoes, shoes over socks, grab the shoelaces and tie them into knots

If you’re going to buy socks, and I’m sure that you will at some point, I highly suggest gettin’ yourself some Gold Toe. These socks are so comfortable that I took off my shoes at work (something I never do) and luxuriated in the cottony goodness that surrounded my feet with a softness that I have imagined clouds must feel like. True that they are not cheap, I paid around three bucks a pair. When it comes to comfort like this price doesn’t matter though, I will be purchasing more of these at any price when the ones that I have wear out.

The title of this post was stolen from the Bumpin’ Uglies who had a song named “Sox” on their first album, I believe it was part of the first verse.

Flo

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

PlayFirst, my employer, just released the much anticipated follow-up to Diner Dash and Diner Dash 2, Diner Dash: Flo on the Go is on the site and people seem to be having fun with it. I haven’t played the new Diner Dash game yet but I have been playing Poker Pop. SandScript is pretty fun if you like word games.

Pants is a funny word

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Why are some ladies walking around wearing jeans with a skirt? I see women of all ages engaged in this activity so they haven’t heard about it through the internet. Maybe email. I’m guessing that it has something to do with ovaries because I haven’t seen any men sporting the same fashion, and remember that I live in San Francisco so I see a lot of men in skirts. There’s also a guy in a pink bunny outfit that rides a unicycle. Skirts and jeans, the look is so…tacky? I dunno, I don’t like it.
