early morning

I have an early morning tomorrow so I won't be writing very much tonight.. I had another busy day today.. and I have to be at work tomorrow at 7 so....

Music LIstened to today: The New Ministry Album.. its good... I liked it. I want to buy it this weekend..and I discovered this artist named Rachid Taha there was an article on him on NPR.. he is a french musician who is Arabic and does rock music.. it was really cool, also looking to pick up.. check it out..

Food Eaten: left over Mexican...

Moral of the Day: When you think your day is over, turn left there sits the boss with more work.

desert island music

ok.. so it started a couple of days ago while I was watching VH1C, a purely evil station that proves Satan was alive and kicking in the 80's, and then tonight VH1C played Jesus and mary chain again with Happy When it rains.. and Erasure..anyway, I looked at my blog and saw that irishgirl) had loged in about jesus and mary chiang being in her 5 top albums if she were stranded on a desert island.. I then quizzed as to the others, you can look at comments from a couple of days ago.. anyway, I thought maybe it shoudl be a dialog on here. so here it is, and to make my life tough I have to choose from the multitudse of artists and albums at my fingertips.. and in no order
1) Love and Rockets Earth Sun Moon ( I can't go with out at least one Love and rockets album.. this one has the best melodies.

2) Sisters of Mercy Vision Thing (This album rocks ok)

3) Nine Inch Nails Downward spiral (I think some of the most interesting music of the last 10 years is on this album

4) Lords of Acid Farstucker (ok, I'm going to be stranded on a desert Island, I assume I'll be alone ok..)

5) Dandy Warhols 13 Tales from New Bohemia (I think I would like this one)

There are so many artists and I know I would get tired of listening to any of these albums.. I might go back in and change this as it is late and I am trying to think of those albums I just keep putting on and on and on.. maybe tomorrow when I grab CD's to take to work I will say , damn how could I have forgotten this album.. I am trying to figure out a place to fit David Bowie into this as well as The Chemical Brothers and Underworld.

ok, music listened to today: gods own methane (I listened to it in the car into work today, otherewise I was so busy I didn't even turn on music at work today) and in case you were wondering this was my band in college.. check out my site Aren't I Cool) and check on the sounds link, or video link, there is a gods own methane video there too staring me.. eating tons and tons of popcorn, I can eat an endless supply..

Food Eaten: You will see a wed. night trend, I make pizza, home made, crust and all, tonights toppings were Veggie peperone, mushrooms, garlic, green pepper, onion, tomato, cheese..

MOral of the day: no matter where you go, there you are..

ok, today

what a busy day today was, somebody pushed the busy button, and held it just a little too long.. yikes.. a long day at work so I won't be writing much, heck, I have the image of the airbrushed skirts.. what more can you ask for.. and if you ask nice, maybe I'll post the other 4 images.. I think they are really really funny.. but I should at least put my usual stuff down here..

Music Listened to today: Depeche Mode Music for the Masses, Me, Jesus and mary Chain Automatic (thanks irishgirl)

Food eaten: Michelle was nice and made me Macaroni and cheese for dinner uppon my very late arrival..and it was home made too...she also made biskets.(I'm sure I spelled that wrong.. but I suck at this whole spelling thing)

Moral of the day: When you think it couldn't get any busier, the space you were working in will be booked for something else.

Skirts

One of Michelles friends sent us an e-mail with all these pictures in it, I'm only including this one.. and no it isn't as obscene as you may think, I guess it is a new trend in Tokyo the skirts are airbrushed.. I havn't found the website for these yet, but I think it will soon be a new trend in the us.

another day another day

I bet you thought I was going to say another doller, well, nope.. just another day.. had another great sunset out my office window.. I have to post yet another picture out my office window.. I should pull some of those pictures before I use up all my webspace for sunset pictures out my office window.. it was really really cold today.. and I got sucked into watching that silly VH1C channel again.. tonight they played psychedelic furs, and they played Jesus and Mary chain, and they played Men with out hats.. and not safety dance..it was pop goes the world.. that is how obscure this channel is, i got sucked in because Michelle turned it on and they were playing rush live.. took me back to my life in the 80's, yes, I was a teanage rush fan.. I saw them in concert numerous times.. I still think I have seen them more then any other band.. and yes, I still think they are amazing muscians.. technically.. I havn't listened to any of their music for a while now. but yes, I still respect it.. so ok.. you can stop laughing now.. I never had a mullet, I wanted one, but never had one.. my hair doesn't grow that way.. maybe I can say thank god for that one.. I did have a perm, and I claim that is why my hair is falling out.. no, wait, its falling out because I am so manly and have all this testosterone running though my body.. see you can tell I am super manly because I spell like a jock..ok.. there.. poke all the fun at my spelling you want.. heck, my spelling is so bad I didn't even realize that I was being poked fun at on a posting I made on another web site...oh well, good thing my friends tell me these things. Anyway.. not much else here... hmmm...

Music listend to today: Lady Tron Sound and Magic, Cure head on the Door, Elastica, Sisters of Mercy A slight case of overbombing. not to mention VH1C

Food Eaten: Amy's Veggie burgers, Salad.

Moral of the day: Another day Another salad.

Iowa

Yes.. Iowa.. I said it.. I went there this weekend.. had a great time.. my friends Jeremy and Jack joined Michelle and I. I had a very good time.. it was good for me to get away for a bit.. Jeremy describes the weekend very well.. and you should check out what he has to say.. anyway.. we went down friday night and Akira had his little Anal Leakage problem.. I was so embarrassed, anyway.. we stopped in Mankato at the Statue of the Giant Happy Chef. Jack and Jeremy decided he must be a Baker because he looked Baked. We got to the "cottage" it isn't any more, it used to be, but then my parents wanted to expand it a bit and discovered that the foundation wasn't very good, in fact the Engineer camout out from under the house shaking his head wondering what was holding the house up at all. Anyway. so they knocked it down and built their dream house.. it is still the cottage even though you could fit my house in a corner of the basement. Anyway.. back to my story, we got to the cottage around 11:30 and got the place opened up and the heat on and hot water on, and just kind of hung out eating Peanuts.. Jeremy brough Cashews and Jack brough Peanuts.. so we gourged our selves on that. Then went to bed.. Anyway, got up the next morning and had a very liesurly morning, and then I went in to see my Grandmother who is 96 and in a nursing home.. not because she has lost her mind, she has really bad arthritis and can't get around and needs help.. a few months ago she had to move from assisted living to the nursing home because she fell and hurt her back.. that is healing, but she can't walk, even though she sometimes forgets that. Anyway, I went to visit her and she is so amazing.. she was napping so when she woke up she was kind of confused, which is tough, she is the smartest person I have ever known my entire life.. she was an amazing woman, and I am lucky to have known her, and i hope that I got a gene or two from her. Anyway...went back to the cottage and we went for a drive, with really no place to go in mind so we started around the lake. Ended up at a Pawn shop.. it had some real crap in it.. really they had crap for sale.. ok.they didn't, but the stuff they had was crap. Anyway, drove up the road a little further and found this Antique market that had all these booths, I think we spend about 1.5 hours in there poking around, then off to another Antique store that was also a coffee shop.. and poked around there for a bit.. then back into town, stopped by my grandmothers again.. then to the video store for an hour of indecision, ended up renting Tart.. it sucked.. don't rent it.. then home from the store and I made Pasta with homemade sauce and home made French Bread.. it was really really yummy.. The sauce turned out great.. went to the store got some food for breakfast and Jeremy wanted to buy Jack a birthday cake and we bought ice cream and had that.. then back home.. watched the movie.. see above comment.. then started chatting around the fire place.. I made the mistake of laying on the floor.. boom. I'm asleep.. Jeremy was asleep on the chair.. but I did have a fire in the fireplace the whole night and it was really awsom.. I got up.. took a Jucuzzi bath.. that was really nice then to bed and up tthis morning.. played video games and then drove home.. it was a very very nice weekend. Sorry so long.. but had to write it all..

Music Listened to: Yould have to ask Jack and Jeremy, Jermey brought his Ipod and we plugged it into the car radio..listened to a whole lot of things.. too many to name.

Food Eaten: Erberts and Gerberts Subs in St. Peter, Home Made Pasta, Garden Burger Veggie Ribs..

Moral to the Day(s) : When riding in the car with Akira.. bring a nose plug.

ps.. Jeremy and Jack.. I talked to my folks, they said that we went to the really wierd places to go looking at Antiques.. thought you might want to know.

slitting my own throat

well, at least witnessing my self slitting my own throat.. at work today, one of our clients has started hiring people on staff to do the work we do for them.. well, today doing a show, they had their people come in so they could see what we do and how we do it.. can't say no, they are our client.. but you know full well that they are there learning your trade secrest.. what a lovely place to be.. you would think they would have better sence then that.. are people really that stupid.. well, I shouldn't ask that.. I know the answere is yes.. look at our president.. Anyway.. I have to share this, last night I had the dream of all dreams.. You will all be jealous with this one.. I dreamt that I had dinner with Lionel Richie... and to make it better, I made him cry.. now, you ask, how did I make Lionel Richie cry in my dream.. well, basically over dinner I mentioned seeing him on one of those many 80's VH1C shows we have bean watching.. he seems to host alot.. anyway, I mentioned that he really appeared to be comfortable with the fact that his albums aren't selling anymore like back in the 80's.. that made him cry.. he was so sad that no one was listening to his music any more.. I then went on to say "Heck, back in the 80's you couldn't go to the bathroom with out it being No.1" then I woke up laughing because I realized the double meaning there.. ha ha ha ... well, not quite that funny, but entertaining nonethe less. Anyway.. that is about all to report from the world of today....

Music Listened to: Ladytron Light and Magic, Rammstein Hunter, and an Industrial complitaion I made several years ago with KMFDM, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Machines of Loving Grace, Sheep on Drugs, Gravity Kills, Filter..I can go on.. but I will stop there..

Dinner eaten: Tacos with black beans, and Mrs. Renfros Habinero Salsa

Moral of the Day: When Lionel Richie says pass the salt, you know it would have bean a hit in the 80's.

Feb. 18, 2003 furnace troubles

Well, once again I have sufferd the wrath of home ownership.. I woke up this morning cold.. my 3.5 year old furance decided it didn't want to provide heat.. if I had my blog in Sept, you would have seen a similar entry.. I have come to the conclusion that new furnaces are crap..my friend Jeremy had furance problems earlier this year as well.. his furnace is new.. so anyway, I call my Minnegasco service plus repair call in.. since they were just out in September to fix a problem exactly like the one I was suffering.. in Sept, the igniter was bad so they had to replace it, they said that they last about 4 years. so I didn't think much about it except that I can expect that every 4 years I am going to have to wake up cold becasue my damn furnace won't light.. no pilot light anymore.. they have decided that frozen pipes beats a pilot light any day.. ok.. so anyway.. I figured that I had recieved a bad ignitor.. heck, it was soon enough that defective parts can fail..so when I place my call they tell me sometime late morning early afternoon, they will call just before they come by.. ok... so I begin the waiting process.. at 3:00 in the afternoon a knock comes on my door, they are here, no phone call... what happened to the phone call.. anyway, I'm still glad the guy is here, he comes in says " I know exactly what the trouble is.. he puts his tester on the leads from the ignitor.. and says with a confident... YUP.. pulls out the ignitor as if he is defusing a nuclear bomb. being very very careful.. what is this going to do while he takes it out.. basically it is an electrical heating element thats it.. it get hot, it lights the gas on fire.. thats it.. anyway.. he defuses the nuclear bomb I have and then begins inspecting it with his flash light.. and then with a puzzled look says.. nope, this thing is in great shape.. ok.. well, we have the ignitoin side covered.. and then takes out this needle looking object that is some sort of gas sensing jet or some such thing.. I can't remember what they called it, but it certainly made me believe that top secret government agents built my furnace.. and he examines it. then carefully pulls out of his took kit, the amazing most versitle toole known to man.. a piece of Steel Wool.. wipes this needle looking thing off, blows the dust off, puts it back, the furance is fixed.. aparently when they fixed it in Sept. they forgot to wipe the carbon off the Top Secret needle gas jet sensor.... the repairman then pulls out his CO2 detector, and proceees to run it.. it shows 0 a positive number, he then puts it in the chimney and tests it 60, well duh, the furnace vents its CO2 up there, but then he knew it was venting properly, he then checks my water heater.. which reminds me.. I think he cranked up the temp and never put it back.. but anyway.. he then lectures me on the placement of my water heater.. the city Inspector was here 3 years ago.. looked at that exact same water heater in the exact same place, noted the the furnace repairmen forgot to hook the chimney back up.. which is anothe story, but anyway.. he didn't seem to find a problem with it.. I thanked the man and he left.. basically not a bad story.. I'm not complaing about any of the work.. just found the whole thing amuzing.. so thats my story... and I say this from the warmth of my basement as I hear the lovely dragon growl that is my furnace igniting.

Music Listened to today: ladytron.

Dinner Eaten: Left over Soup from last night, Salad

Moral of the Day: When the Gas man says do you smell gas, its not a trick question..

collecting batteries.

I learned the strangest thing today.. one of Michelles cousins used to have a battery collection.. I coulnd't get much more out of it then that, but I can just see it now.. here's a 9volt, I found it in the street.. its an energizer.. ooooooooh.. sorry, I hope I havn't hurt the feelings of any battery collectors out there, it is just the strangest hobby I have ever heard of. Not only that, but kind of dangerous.. you would end up with all these coroding batteries.. hey, here is a 12 volt out of a pacer.. oooooooh . I am finding that life in my new office is strange.. I don't know when the day ends.. I have all this sun and I have all this energy and at 5:45 in my office the sun is setting and I just lost time. anyway.. not much of a day here today.. not much to say.. I didn't mean to rhyme, it just happens some times.

Music Listened to: again with that silly VH1 classics channel.. tonight it was Beastie boys, OMD, Night Ranger, Flock of Seagulls, and not that one song that gets over played, another one. I listened to my new Rammstein album, and tomorrow a new ministry album comes out.. I'm tempted, even though their last couple of albums have kind of stunk.. by the way, in case you were wondering. and curious, Dokken is on the road with White Snake, and Erasure is back on the road, and they are touring a new album.

Dinner EAten: HOme Made roasted vegetable and corn soup.. mmmmmm with home made buttermilk biskettes.

Moral of the day: When the bullet hits the bone, you are now stepping in the twilight zone.

the Guru

I saw the movie the Guru today, I loved it, it was just the kind of movie I have bean neading to see for a while.. it was funny, it was sappy, it was romantic.. I just thought it was so charming.. my friend Jeremy said it could have used another musical number..I think he is right.. there can't be enough musical numbers in a movie.. well, there can.. Seussical the musical is proof of that, but I would love to say more, but I don't want to give it away since it just opened. Went out with my friend Jack tonight to celebrate his birthday. I am so lucky to have a friend like that.... funny how we met and how life changes.. I grew up with his ex and met him through her.. now, she and I barely speak, and if I don't get to see Jack in a week, I feel like I am missing something, kind of like Bran... Anyway, it was nice after all theses years to get to spend an evening with him on his birthday.. even though he got mad when we wanted to pay the bill... but I think he knew I would have thrown a tempertantrum if he didn't let us. anyway. I best be off to bed.

Music listened to today: not much.. but I did half listen to my new Rammstein album..I learned Ministry has a new album on Tuesday..

Food Eaten.. had the Anasasi Burito with gargden veggies cowboy style at Pasquals

MOral of the day: When making eggs with other stuff to put on a Bagel, make sure you put enough egg in it.. otherwise it falls out.

the things we can think

Michelle put it well tonight.. she said that the opening song for Susical the musical sounded like the mentos commercial, I think she put it absolutely right. It was the Mentos music.. if you ever get the chance to listen to the soundtrack, and i don't reccomend it.. you will hear that it is the mentos commercial, how could I have missed that one.. me, mr. cynical.. mr. compare everything to everything else.. Mr. bad pun guy. hmmmm.. Anyway.. went to see the Daredevil movie tonight.. I really enjoyed it.. but you know, give me a person with superpowers wearing tights, and I'm all over it. I always chuckle though at characters devoloped by Stan Lee.. for those that don't know, he is the guy who created most of the cool marvel characters.. Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, Daredevil, The X-men, The Hulk. Minus the X-men, every one of his super Heros gets exposed to radio active chemicals or particals one way or another and boom suddenly super powers. I find it gets to be a bit funny to me sometimes.. how come so many get exposed to radiation.. I know, it was a different time when most of them were created, and then he created the X-men I think because he was tired of everyone getting exposed to radiation. I was surprised that I have never seen a trailer for the Hulk in the theater, I have seen them on the apple website, but never in the theater.. I have this bad feeling (my spider sence is tingling) that the Hulk is going to suck the big one. I hope not, but I have never really liked the hulk as a story.. funny thing is, I never really liked spiderman either or Daredevil.. I guess I never related to them when I was younger. Only reciently have I started to get into DAredevil.. and Spiderman, they started a new series called Ultimate Spiderman where they took him back to Highschool and started the whole story over, and updated it.. changed some of the story, and I am really enjoying that series. I didn't mention since I didn't write yesterday that yesterday was valentines day.. we made sushi and hung out at home.. nothing hugely special, but a nice evening overall. Anyway.. I should be getting to bed.. I have to write something creative one of these days.. I am feeling that urge again..

Music LIstened to: Ramstein, the 2001 album.. I just bought it. Sisters of Mercy a slight case of overbombing.
Dinner: I had the cashew dish at Thai Express..mmmmmmm
MOral of the day: When gong to Best Buy... make sure to find a good escape route.

TiVo Evil

ok.. so we added to our Satelite package.. for $2.00 extra a month we get all 5 channels of Discovery and Boom, the earlier mentioned New Wave Channel, and another evil channel.. VH1C classic videos.. tonight we saw videos by ABC, The Cure, Platnum Blonde, and Sly Fox..in case you don't remember that last one.. Let's go all the way.. Anyway.. much silliness enseued.. I'm still feeling a little queesy about having seen that play last night.. I guess the newspaper kind of ripped it too.. I feel better, I would have hated to learn that it was supposed to be such an amazing work.. there was an add for a play called Tick Tick Boom that sounds really interesting.. by the same guy that did rent.. I guess he was working on this play then got all tied up in rent, then died.. so someone picked it up and finished it. I think I'm gonna have to look for tickets.. anwyay..I'm kind of tired tonight..

Music listened to: Metropolis compilation, Moby 18, Sisters Of Mercy

MOral of the day: When no Moral comes to Mind.. eat another fortune cookie.

For You Jeremy

Jeremy, here is the view out my office window tonight.

An old favorite Now in English

Here is an old favorite now in english
Kikkoman English

what I find interesting is how they changed some of the scenes from the Original
like the hanging cat. I guess they thought that we americans would feel put off by a cat hanging himself in shame

Susical the Musical

Ok, I admit it I went out and saw Sussical the Musical.. now, I wasn't expecting much.. but when you don't expect much and in the first 10 minutes start thinking about leaving the theater before the intermission.. you know you are in trouble.. BUt it actually turned out kind of charming.. Dr. Suess can write a great story, if it wasn't for the great Dr. Suess stories, I would have walked out of the theater very early, the Singing was bad, the music was so Clichet it can't even be said how sad that was.. The choreography was un inspired, and there were more forced jokes then an evening out with me. There is a child lead with the name Jo Jo.. they stretch it as far to make a Beatles reference when (yes she stared in it) Cathey Rigby says.. Get Back Home JO JO.. I think I was the only one in the theater who caught that one, and that shamed me.. If you are looking for an evening of milktose entertainment then Suesical the Musical is just the ticket.. One saving grace is (and I don't consider Cathey Rigby the lead) the lead woman had a really nice voice and great stage presence.. she really stole the show.. or would have if Cathy Rigby wasn't so busy trouncing over everything delicate in the show. The only inspired musical number in the whole show with interesting choreography supposedly takes place underwater.. thay had lots of black light and people with Neon painted fish and CAthy Rigby and the kid are supposedly swimming under water they are flying with harnesses... it was rather charming.. then Cathy Rigby has to re-enact her role as peter Pan and start swinging back and forth the full width of the stage doing summersaults on her harness.. distracting from the rest of the scene.. I couldn't help but giggle..

Music listened to: Front 242 Up Evil, Underworld, Metropolis compilation.

Moral of the Day: If you want to see quality musical entertainment.. avoid former Olympic gymnists

Mirror Ball

This is me in front of my mirror ball

This is the view out my office window

headache

I have a headache tonight so I am turning in early.. just wanted to say that it is a crazy world we are living in right now.. I reccomend you all book travel and get out of the country, see that the rest of the world is nothing to fear.. let the rest of the world know they have nothing to fear from us.. we are letting ourselves be driven into such a fear driven state that we will let anything happen.. funny how the US has forgotten that Osama Bin Ladden was such a goal for our president to "Take Dead or Alive" funny we don't talk about that now. anyway.. I"m on a rant.. must be a feaver rant or something.. have a great night of sleep all.. I hope I feel better in the morning.. don't worry about me, it is just a headache..I think it came when I went to get a key made for my file cabnet at work, I accidently locked it and we didn't have a key for it, I went to Central Lock and Safe, the man behind the counter was very very angry, he kind of scared me.. he was yelling at peopl on the phone, he was yelling when he went in the back room to make me a key, he threw the piece of paper at me that had the code for what the key should be to make.. he was very angry.. when I got to the office the key didn't work, I think in his rage he grabbed the wrong slug.. I dind't go back, I went to another locksmith to get new keys made, they were very pleasant, that was Ace Lock and Safe on Washington..

Music Listened to today
More of that New Wave channel.. they played Love and rockets again, Murrey Head, Talking heads, Siouxsie and the Banshees.
I also listend to Moby 18, Jesus and Mary Chain Automatic, Nine Inch Nails The Fragile.

Moral of the day: when a locksmith is having a bad day, runaway..

New Office

Well, I started the move to my new office, I think the best part of the whole thing as I think I mentioned some emotional stuff around the move, was I dind't get started moving my office until later in the afternoon, and I got my desk moved and placed and I had just hooked up my computer and was checking to make sure everything there was working and the sun started setting over downtown Minneapolis.. it was beautiful.. I am really going to enjoy the windows, the only bummer is at about 4 the sun comes in really really really bright in the windows.. I might actually have ato draw the shades, I am going to try not to though. I hope I get to stay there for a while.. we'll see. Tonight they also updated my satelite service.. I know get 5 discovery chanels and some other stuff.. like a VH1 classics channel which is kind of fun, but the best is we now get a bunch more music channels including one that plays 24 horus of New Wave music everyday.. Listend to New Order, Wall of Voodoo, Church, Love and Rockets.. it was cool.. I think I have a new radio station.. and it's commercial free, well except they tell you how to order every song they play in the data screen. I still ahve to move the 5' mirror ball and move my speakers.. basically all the stuff that I have to rig to the ceiling.. shouldn't take long.. ANyway.. thats about it..

Music listened to today
Front 242 Up Evil
NPR.. I hadn't moved the stereo yet, but I did move the little radio..
Lots of New Wave Directv music.

Moral of the day: When a tough time is at hand, stop and look out the window.. often your salvation is shining in at you.

the gentle art of aging

Well, I have realized in the last couple of days.. well, actually longer then that, but a phone conversation last night really made it hit home that I am not aging well. well, actually I think I am, but one of my friends was saying that he is graying.. I have managed to miss most of that, except my beard is kind of grey, but that aside.. the beauty of greying is that you can always die it.. and if you are like me.. Purple and Blue come to mind.. but alas, my hair is dark and I can't just go to the store and buy purple hair die and have anyone even notice that it is died, and I'm not really greying yet.. but I do have these wonderful sprouts of hair comming out of my ears, and not just sprouts of hair, I'm talking about shrubbery.. with a couple of rubberbands and a few months time I am sure I could get them into dread loks. mmmmmm. nothing is more appealing on a man then dreadloks comming out of his ear, do you think anybody would think I was cool... once I get those in place, I can start my nose hair dreds.. I can get some moustache wax and put little curlie cues in my nose hair dreds.. now that will impress them.. Flock of Seagulls, look out, your hair has nothing on my ears.. I can shave all the hair off my head.. with a little work I could get a unibrow.. I could look like Bert.. I could go for that tuft of hair, but I am balding on top.. actually I'm not going bald, my hair is just so massive that it is pusihg into my head and comming out my nose and ears.. it has no where else to go, the rest of my head is full of brain.. well, I'd like to think so.. probably just full of hair.

Music Listened to this weekend

Depeche Mode 81-85
NIN The Fragile
Metropolis compilation

Moral of the day: When hair starts sprouting where it shouldn't, try to come up with a way to embrace it.

Embrace me.... sweet embracable hair..

I can finally give the DVD back to my friend Jeremy he also showed me how to put a link into one of these pages so I will see if that works too. I did manage to get some sound added to my site.. still have some tweeking to do, I aslo want to re-build my pictures page.. I did add a guest book, so that should be interesting.. and who ever you are posting in Italian.. you have me going.. so I think that is about it for right now.. I will try to post more tonight... and by the way.. I just went and checked and the code works, why would I think any differently.. now all I have to do is figure out how to get my pop up windows smaller then full screen.

Music Listened to today
Rammstein Du Hast
Jesus and Mary Chain Stoned and Dethroned

Moral of the day: when we have a blizzard, the roads are fine.. it is the day after the snow when the sun is shining that traffic gets bad.

a Movie

Today at work I had a great idea for a movie.. I think it should be done.. Jeremy?
Anyway.. I was talking about movies like crouching tiger and the great choreography in it, the person I was talking to said that he liked those movies, but don't ever let him see a musical like chicago... I havn't seen it so I can't say, but I did say, what, no musicals, he said yup.. I was stunned, he saw how amazing the choreography was in those movies, but not in the Musicals.. so I figured someone out there needs to capitolize on combining the hot trend of action kick flicks and big hollywood musicals.. think if you will Ginger Rogers beating the crap out of Fred Astare.. can't you just see it..

the scene opens, an obviosly painted set a lone woman walks out of the shadow.. starts singing.... a sad song.. how lonely she is..Then a man in a dark cape and mask comes from a fire escape and begins to join in in harmony.. finally he stands next to this woman.. they look into each others eyes, you can start to feel the love tension building when out of the alley comes a mugger, he clubs the maked man to death in the street..steals the mask revealing a very average man, the woman looks upon his beaten and bloody face for the first time.. the mugger takes off running.... the woman kisses her would be lover and takes chase after the mugger.. soon she is doing crazy Ninja tricks...because Ninjas are Sweeeeeeeeet. and she kicks the crap out of the mugger while she sings a song about being a jet or some such thing..

I think it is a movie that has to be made.. for just $13,698.63 a day for one year, you can help this poor child make this movie for a measly budget of only $5 Million. That's only a cup of coffee at every Starbucks in the Metro area.

feelings

Woe woe woe feelings.. no.. jk

just trying to put into words my feelings this weekend.. it is a strange one.. The space shuttle reminded me of things I havn't thought of in years.. really took me back to 1986, and I wonder where have I come in those 17 years.. wow.. 17 years.. I have bean out of highschool almost as long as I was in school.. life is slipping away.. but that isn't what it is.. The thing is I so vivedly remember walking through the halls of my high school.. and that one kid comming up to me.. I think his name was scott.. I know if I paged through my yearbook I would spot him in a second.. anyway.. he came up to me and said did you hear the space shuttle exploded.. I thought it was a joke..It wasn't I didn't see the footage until I got home from school.. I didn't really believe it until I got home, and there it was on every channel. The trail of exhaust going into space and then splitting off into 3 columns and one white cloude in the middle. Funny, in my mind it happened in the same time space as Reagen getting shot. I remember that cutting in over and over and over again. They wonder why our generation is so strange...they kept interupting our cartoons for people getting killed.. I even have a vague memory of the Vietnam war.. I remember seeing people in a trench shooting at each other.. My parents tell me that it couldn't be.. I think it was.. I don't think it was a documentary.

Flashes of an image burned on my mind
were they real
My parents tell me know
but they feel so real they must be
whey would they tell me they wern't true
if they were.
What can they hide from me now
I'm 34 These images won't hurt me now

Music listend to nothing.

Frustrated

I feel like singing that sone.. you've got me so frustrated..anyway.. it was a tug of war emotional day for me today.. a couple of days ago I was givn this book called Who moved my cheese.. an incredible pice of shit...pardon the language, but I can't think of anything nicer to say about it.. it was giving to me by my new supervisor.. but he doesn't really supervise.. he just sort of is. So today, I have this meeting with the president of my company.. I am nervous because he is meeting with me alone, I figure I'm in trouble for something.. but don't know what.. we had a great lunch.. my respect for him as a leader had kind of bean waning a bit, but our lunch he said some things to me that make me think he really does know what is going on. Anyway so that went well, I was really dreading that.. then this evening I had a meeting with my supervisor.. he was going over my expense report from Italy.. he was basically in this position that he wasn't going to pay any of it.. I was really upset.. he was going on that they weren't bonifide expenses.. why should we pay for you to go to see the statue of David.. oh, but the company will pay for me to rent a porno in my hotel room.. but not to go and see one of the greatest masterpieces in the world.. anyway.. I'm still a bit anxious about it.. we had a bit of a blowup.. I think it is going around today.. must be the moon or something.. one of my friends had the same thing happen today.. I think it is just this crazy world we are living in right now, everything is so uncertain.. except that bush is going to bomb Iraq.. he needs that to get our mind of how badly the spirit of the country has turned in the last 2 years. we need a good television war to get our minds off our woes.. make us feel superior to the rest of the world.. who only 1 year ago was totally with us.. they all felt sympathy for the loss our country had on sept. 11, now.. the whole world has turned against us.. how can a president turn so much support into so much anger.. it is amazing.. anyway.. I'm ranting so I'm gonna go to bed...
