I generally find all office humor unbearable, especially if it has anything to do with Mondays or golf, but I’ve recently discovered the most obnoxious universal office “joke”: “Are we having fun yet?” This “joke” can be used at any time; upon entering a room, passing in the hallway, bullshit on the phone, etc etc, [...]
My job involves a lot of sitting around doing absolutely nothing, so my employers encourage people to bring in things to entertain themselves: Gameboys, books, crochet projects, PDAs, Legos, WHATEVER. People bring in all sorts of crazy stuff to keep themselves from literally dying of boredom. So what is the exception to this rule? LAPTOPS. [...]
Well, Troutmouth was more or less tricked into our first live show at a Halloween party of a friend’s, and I have to say my first experience performing for a crowd was an unprecedented failure. Let’s go over the events of that fateful night: The guy that was throwing the party rented a hall, actually [...]
There’s a reason I haven’t mentioned I’m in a band, and that’s because it’s lame to go around announcing that. Hell, who isn’t in a band? However, I’m so excited about our new jamming location, ranting about how cool the second story of my dad’s fort is wouldn’t make any sense without letting you in [...]
I uploaded this several days ago, but forgot to post it. Following is a ~6 minute video of me and my friend Tim matching lemon juice shots. Basically, my dad brought home 3 liters of lemon juice, so we broke out the shot glasses. Though we could have tightened it up a LOT and made [...]
So I’m nearly halfway through my second week of training at my new boring data entry job. When I first started, I was a little intimidated because rumors were flying around that training was brutal, but if you can make it through the 3-week course, you’re set. The training classes also have a huge dropout [...]
Chuck and Tim were over tonight to watch White Noise. Awful movie by the way. Anyway, after Chuck left, Tim and I were pretty bored and decided to search around for some EVP recordings ourselves. I’ve heard EVP “specialists” on Coast to Coast AM several times in the past, but never put much stock in [...]
I’m trying to cycle my sleep schedule since I start work in less than a week, so to kill time until Nanostray finally shows up in the mail I had to come up with something tedious and time consuming to keep me up. For whatever reason, I decided I would duplicate, pixel-for-pixel, the Pictochat interface [...]
My aunt recently gave me her Atari 2600, all her controllers, and all her games. It’s really incredible for me, because this is the exact system and game collection that I started gaming with. Just seeing the cartridges in person brings back a lot of not only my earliest gaming memories, but some of my [...]
I don’t watch TV, so in the rare event something worthwhile is on, it takes word of mouth to reach me before I can experience it. This happened with Penn & Teller’s Bullshit, Stella, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Kenny vs Spenny, and…well yeah. I’m sure there are more worthwhile shows on TV, I just can’t [...]
