New digs. Yeah.

That's right, no more burbs for me. Yay!

The move was short, the move-in was LONG AND PAINFUL. Though, things have settled down and I am almost ready to spend hours on my ass playing video games again wondering if there is something else worth doing.

While getting back into the groove of reading worthless shit online I stumbled across this wonderful blog. I think that my good friend Mr. Joel would love it. Think that I am going to send him a link to the SDJRJR and have him read this post. Yes, it's cunning, I know. The use of commas, is also very cunning, indeed. My prose may be shallow, boring, lacking anything that makes you want to read more, etc. At least I use a lot of commas. *patting myself on the back*

Tomorrow I should have a 40" LCD HDTV and plan to use an antenna with it. Can't wait. Fucking cable man is the devil. When I can pay for the 7 channels I want to watch I will sign up.

Actually, I got on a little bit of a purge and buy-new-crap binge while moving in. I am now the proud owner of: A Space Age Toaster Oven(Really, it is almost as neat as my rice cooker), some new knives, an espresso machine(Which, in a future post I will detail how it is the finest thing I've bought and also... a bit depressing as now coffee from Starbucks is near undrinkable...) and a Wii.. I'm pretty happy with it. Though my Christ-mass-budget is not so massive. :P Whoops.

Oh, and to all you people(or the three that stop by here) who read my rant about using AllofMP3.com you're too late. Looks like someone paid off a Russian official and the site is going bye-bye until they relocate to another country that has not been paid off by the RIAA. I'm all about artists getting paid, so how about charging 5.00 for a CD and splitting it with the artist. I am sure all of the "cost" that goes into the current production of CDs can be reduced, just lay off 90% of your marketing staff and let the music sell itself. We blog about it, we talk about it with our friends, we go to shows, we listen to the radio(independent...when available)... We don't need anything else to try and sell us "art".

Music: Society Of Rockets
Movie: The Big Lebowski
Link: La-La, trade your music collection for $1.75 per CD. It's NEAT!

Quarters. I played that once.... Once.

Once upon a time there was a young man that thought he was a
gifted when it came to stupid games. Games like Quarters. Oh, how he was so very wrong. As he was spending time with his closest friends in a land far far away he decided to play this game with another strapping young man who happened to be a sailor with the Navy. Sean, the faux-gifted geek thought to himself that this would be a fun way to pass the time and drink beer, what could be better? While his opponent sat across him, sneaking a sly grin in anticipation of pure pwnage.

This game of Quarters was by far, the most pathetic show of what is displayed in the video. Our underdog watched in amazement while chugging one beer as Russell sank another quarter into the next beer he was going to drink. This was a crushing blow as Sean knew that he had no chance, most likely, Russell was just playing with him, seeing how long he last drinking beer after beer just to hand the coin to to him.

And yes, it gets worse. Sean may suck at quarters, but he tries hard at everything he does, including drinking pints of beer quickly. If I say so myself, I can really open up the throat and pour them down. It's very pleasing in fact! Bad news is when you chug a quarter along with the beer, that's total bummer. I really freaked out, enough to throw a punch at another great friend of mine, which I regret.

The bright side is that it came out about 12 hours later with a very pleasurable clink in the toilet. Anyway, enjoy the video.
