An Informal Survey 1

Sep

2007

So it’s Beginning of the TV Season Time again, and I’m once again getting the itch to review some of the new stuff. I’m in the midst of writing up my feelings on one fall show that’s already premiered, and I wanted to know if you guys were interested in some of my critiques of ...

Plain Cheese =! Anchovies

2007

So I used to eat a lot of pizza, but as I’ve been trying to lose a large amount of weight, I’ve limited myself to one pizza per five pounds lost. After a long break because I took so much time off the gym after my surgery, tonight was a pizza night. I was very ...

I will worship whatever god or gods I need to, I will even sacrifice a goat on the tarmac if need be, but I really hope that what’s been happening in Indonesia over the last few days doesn’t happen in L.A. while I’m still alive to have it scare the shit out of me. Reading ...

Dear People Who Built and Remodeled My Building, Why the fuck did you put the wall studs like two inches behind the drywall in the downstairs apartment? You managed to actually put the studs right behind the drywall upstairs, what gives? Now I’m going to have to figure out how to use toggle bolts to ...

Interwebs! 1

Sep

2007

Not only interwebs, but the return of SPECTACULAR HD to the Gigantic Damn Television, on which I am currently watching Oregon stomp Michigan, and laaaaaaaaughing and laughing. The only problem is that I think I am going to need a bionic left foot. Anyone have a spare?

I Like To Move It, Move It

2007

I will be moving downstairs all day tomorrow. I had a hell of a long day and only moved shit for an hour tonight, and I’m already wiped out. I swear to god, when I am done with this move, I’m not moving out of this new place for at least four years or I ...

I Am Such A Lesbian

2007

Moving brings out the big old butch lesbian in me. I mean, not that she had far to come, but for just two examples: Spackle. I bought spackle. I love spackle. I love the word spackle. I love saying and typing the word spackle. Spackle spackle spackle. I even love spackling all the holes I’ve ...

The Apartment Shuffle 3

Aug

30

2007

You would think that moving from one apartment to another in the same building would be easier than doing a full-on move. Unfortunately, as I’ve realized as I prepare to move downstairs to get out of the abominable heat of my current apartment, this is clearly not the case. You still have to do 90% ...

Shopping Signs

2007

I’m not sure what this is a sign of, but it’s got to be a sign of something. I can be completely out of every ounce of substances edible to humans, but if I’m tired, I’ll just say “Fuck it, I’ll pick something up tomorrow.” But if I’m even almost out of cat food, it ...

Questions Raised Catching Up On Films Via HBO 2

Aug

2007

Tonight’s episode: Poseidon. The questions I’ve come up with, ten minutes into the movie: – Who on earth watched the original Poseidon Adventure and decided “What this hysterically over-the-top movie needs is a completely straightfaced, effects-heavy remake!”? – Is Jacinda Barrett trying to pull off an American accent? Or some sort of weird nondescript Greater ...
