ALSO: Today I'm gonna get my garage back!

Why? Who took it?

[side_show]

Probably the same people who took away the funk.  Bring back the funk.

[Nabubrush]

Try to off myself and fail due to technicality.

Late to the party as always but:

Hey! Hey! Don't do that! You are my internet friend!

Also, today I will pack for Vegas. And see a concert by the kids of rock, or whatever the fuck they are called. Bunch of 12 year olds playing cover tunes.

[theinevitable]

get off my ass. apply for summer job as a camp counselor, email a music promotion company about an internship (in Boston!), get a hair cut (maybe I will do this tomorrow, instead), get the oil changed in my car (this should have been done so long ago that I qualify as some kind of Car Abuser). Maybe return some presents (a video game I already had, a CD I don't want.)

Actually, in re: the CD. I got a James Brown 3-CD thing called "The Great James Brown." It wasn't published in the US, and it's just 3 live shows. They are listed simply as "James Brown on Stage with the Famous Flames," "On Stage at Studio 54," and "On Stage at Chastain Park." I can find no further information about what is on here, other than track listings (basically some songs are repeated between the second 2, but the first one is mostly earlier stuff.) I cannot find any reviews of this online. Should I just go for it, since James Brown is awesome? or should I just return it and get such as "At the Apollo" or "20 Greatest Hits" or something?

The other thing I am not sure about is "La Dolce Vita." On the one hand, this is a movie I want to own and watch. On the other hand, the price tag was left on, and it cost 40$. That is a lot for just one movie.

In other news, I found out today that an album, Crazy Rhythms, which I consider to be what you would get if you put me through some kind of strainer and got music out the other end, is being re-released. The Feelies made crazy music with lots of layered guitars, where almost every song started off quiet and built up slowly, adding more and more layers of pretty guitars and drums and...
Here, I wanted to put a youtube video of one of their songs, but they are all shitty live versions that make them sound a lot less awesome than they are. They are kind of like the songs where Devo weren't trying to sound as smart (Gut Feeling, for instance).

[V-Adore]

This is hella belated because I've kind of been slacking on the board lately, but: A-CAP, I am glad you are not dead. Please stay alive.

[linnea]

A-CAP, if you hurt or kill yourself I am gonna be hell of pissed. Not cool at all. Don't do it, god damn it!

Anyway... on to a more lighthearted topic. Seriously, dude, it will never solve your problems and we need you here on this planet. Anyway, I lost my keys today. The stupid new Subaru keys cost fuck*ng $75 for a new one. I have one spare set, but I hope I can find them so I don't have to waste grocery money on new keys. Talk about idiotic. They are probably sitting on the counter of the Quizno's sub shop where I purchased dinner. I hope that someone left them there instead of throwing them away or taking apart the remote access thingus.

I think I lost 'em because they're so small - I pared down my keychain to the bare minimum: remote access keyfob,  car key, house key, storage unit key. That's it. I guess I need to get something large-ish and obnoxious so that I won't set them down somewhere and forget them. ThinkGeek used to have a device for keys, cell phones, PSPs, iPods, etc. where you would attach something to the valuable device and keep the other half of the device on your person, like in a pocket. If the valuable device becomes too far separated from your person (say, 2 feet) then a small alarm goes off, alerting you that your dumb ass just left your keys somewhere. I can't find it on their website no matter what kiind of search terms I input, and I've been searching and searching. The other sites I've found on the internet like FOFA look really unwieldy and clumsy.

I will have to learn to stop leaving my keys lying around. This is the first time in 2 years that I've lost them, but still. That's too often to be losing keys.

[side_show]

Today I'm going to stay in my pj's playing New Super Mario Bros. on our new DS until 2 pm, look up our new camera on-line and find out that it was terrifyingly expensive. Then use my new aquarium vacuum to do a much needed water change for the puffers (the new vac is a self-starter, so no more worries about a mouth full of giraffe poop to start the siphon!  It only ever happened once.  Never would have been better though.)  After that I'll probably get down to making some dinner - probably the awesome spinache chicken I told Doc about in the other thread.  I think maybe a nice bottle of wine too.

[jaydub]

...coax the wife out from behind her scrapbooking table and go pick up the car we abandoned at my lab before Christmas (on account of logistics).  Then I'll sneak over to a brewing supply store and score some pale malt and liquid yeast cultures to jazz up the beer kits my thoughtful relatives got me for Christmas.  Tomorrow - a stout!

last night kelli and I made Chocolate Eclairs from scratch. Kelli is a huge Proust fan, and that was the inspiration.

Also, did not find my keys, probably gonna have to wait for the damn snow to melt.
Anyway, Lennybruce is sitting on the desk (my cat's name is Lennybruce) and looking at me expectantly for petties. He was lying on the keyboard tray earlier, but it's not wide enough for a chunkity cat AND the keyboard. Unfortunately, the toasty-roast was deposed and made to sit elsewhere. Typing needed to happen.

[theinevitable]

wait, you have a cat? named lennybruce?

today, I am going to issue an ultimatum to my friends who are lame and lazy about having fun. It would have been better, I guess, if the ultimatum had included an idea of what we could do tonight... it ended up saying "you, me, tonight, something fun" basically.

I am going to Shave today, and maybe have people over to watch a movie. That is my last resort for escaping another night playing Twilight Princess by myself.

I put the cat caveat in there for the benefit of people who don't know me quite so well as all you regulars.

[theinevitable]

I know, i was teasing.

[Arachno-capitalist]

Kelli is your friend right? and Lenny is your twin or something? I always get them mixed up.

[pmcd9]

...of you shaving.

[linnea]

Today I'm gonna go to work. Laaaame! I wish I had gotten today off.
