I’m in summer mode. That means not much time in front of a computer, and nearly nocturnal sleeping habits. Things are happening, however hard I may try and stop them. Some of the decisions I make this summer will change how the next few years, or maybe more, play out. I’ll be sure to keep you abreast of them.
Hehe…abreast…

EDIT: So I woke up this morning (the 11th) and I had Don’t Fuck With Flo in my head. Its a moe. song, but there aren’t any mp3s on archive so I went with a version by this band, Ha Ha the Moose. And its good. So enjoy.

John Rush

Cool dude, that John Rush. Played at UConn tonight in the student union. Had good tunes, so we stuck around. Much better option than studying. So after the show we got to talking to him, and he’s a pretty interesting dude. Says he tours about 150 days out of the year, which is insane, but it is pretty much the only way to make any money as an independent artist.

I’d suggest listening to some tunes from his site, and if you’re particularly into his stuff, buy a CD. I like his song Time Wasted a lot. I’d embed it here, but his site won’t let me hotlink. Oh well, go find it for yourself. Free download, good tunes.

This probably doesn’t deserve its own post,
but I just left feeling so good, I had to try and share it.

Duct Tape Fixes Everything

Dance Lesson #2 by Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe
[audio:http://www.archive.org/download/kdtu2001-03-08/kdtu2001-03-08.shn2/kdtu2001-03-08d2t05_64kb.mp3]

So I’d just like to post and remind everybody that duct tape really does fix everything. I’ve been having issues with my mousepad, for a long time now, which shouldn’t be surprising since my mousepad is a piece of cardboard I cut out of the box my monitor came in, last September. The glossy side is the only side that works, since my mouse (a laser mouse) doesn’t get a clear reflection or whatever from a normal piece of cardboard. So this glossy side has been used ever since I set up this comp in my dorm room, and it has become pretty warn, with scratches, dirt, and other things which make my mouse go in directions I didn’t want it to go. So I’ve been trying to find a replacement ever since it got really bad this January. Pieces of paper don’t work, an neither do various other pieces of crap I’ve thrown on the desk.
So today I decided to coat the entire glossy side of my cardboard mousepad in duct tape.
Turns out it works. Perfectly.
Duct tape saves the day. Again.

What the hell is Cheney doing hiding in the bushes at this White House press release?
Seriously, what the hell?

GTA IV

Trailer on the Rockstar site

So this game looks nasty. I don’t have a next gen console, or a HDTV, so I’m not used to graphicsof this calibur, but damn, that looks good. I’m fairly certain that this game will be the sole reason I get a PS3 or a 360 (because apparently it is coming out for both?). So that is all I have to say for tonight. I’ve got a crapload of work to do, and a very early morning tomorrow, so…crap.

Oh, right, tunes. Have some Del McCoury:

That’s Nashville Cats, All Aboard, and 1952 Vincent Black Lightning all by the Del McCoury Band.

I can play soccer

That is a lie.

Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.
-Loki in Dogma

But I did try. It is very tiring. And I am not good at it. I would much rather chill and listen to tunes. S’pose I’ve never really had endurance for those kinds of things. I’d probably be ok at rugby though. Not in the scrum of course, but I’d make a decent back. Despite being a skinny dude, or maybe because of it, I can take hits pretty well, and keep going. For a casual game, I’d prefer it to soccer. Plus, you can’t flying tackle people in soccer. That makes me sad. It is a shame rugby isn’t more popular in the states.
So with that, I present to you, soccer vs rugby:

Feedback

So Ali and I were jamming in a new studio early this morning, and we noticed and interesting phenomena. It started when he played ‘Sun Chips’ and kept recurring throughout the night.

A light in the ceiling would begin to flash, like it was on the verge of failing, but never actually failed. So it became a strobe light. And as the night progressed, we discovered that the light had exceptional musical taste as well, because as he went through possible licks for new songs, it would begin to strobe when he got to a good one. When he recorded the bass line, the exact second he started to record, it began to strobe. So we can only hope that the light will guide us towards good tunes in the future, and no pesky maintenance guys mess with it.

5am

So it is really early, and I’ve got about two liters of mountain dew in me right now. Or maybe a bit less now. I’ve been slowly chipping away at it since midnight or so, and finished it not long ago.
So why am I still awake? Things to do.
I actually wasted an hour or so watching Crank on UConn’s movie channel. What an awesome movie. Still love it. That, combined with a Dew high, let me get crackin at a website I’ve been meaning to design. So I spent a bunch of time knee-deep in code, but the Rockville Rotary site is fully functional. Tomorrow, I’ll make it pretty.
I think my roommate will be up in a few hours. He gets up really early, even on weekends. I’m tempted to stay up till he awakes, just to mess with him, but those precious hours of sleep are probably worth it. I can only hope that I’ll be able to sleep through most of the day tomorrow.

Alright, thats all for now.

The End of The Show

The Show ended today.
It has been a year since it began and a little less than that since I started watching.
I tuned in in April and didn’t miss an episode. And now it is over. I’m not quite sure what will replace The Show in my day-to-day internetings. It was only a couple minutes each day, but it really did brighten my day.
We’ll see.

Oh, and happy St. Patrick’s Day.
