warning signs, usps up-selling & magdalena

Tagged Under : , ,

angry energy ball is ANGRYhigh-voltage!  warning: angry electric ball of death!

this one is one of my all-time favorite warning signs.  the jellyfish one is up there, too.   i lived in hawaii for a year and will always remember their amazing beach safety signs.  that poor 2D bastard never learns.

today i encountered the 2nd USPS worker in as many days attempting to up-sell me.  ever run into that?

i’m currently hooked on frank zappa‘s magdalena – off of the album, just another band from l.a. – go buy it and listen!

heat, music & the broken ps3

Tagged Under : , , ,

so i’m in my studio finishing some music and it has to be at least 85 (AND HUMID) up here.  i can’t put the AC on… because i can’t hear the music completely with the cold-making-machine humming along.  very productive night!  was able to complete about 5 minutes worth of music for this tv show i’m composing for, Gunn.

old_pointhave i mentioned that i love ebay?  ok ok, i tolerate ebay, their fees are off the charts.  combine them with their paypal fees and you’re looking at an astronomical percentage of your final sale $ going bye-bye.  ANYWAY… i was able to sell my broken playstation 3 for $167.50 (not including $15 shipping).  not bad for a unit that doesn’t even boot up and just gives you a blinking red light.  YES, the buyer knows it’s broken, i mentioned it about 50 times in my listing description.  most people that sell their broken ps3’s get about $125, so i was pleasantly surprised to see the last minute bidding war take it over $160!

tom watson, procrastination, uncle buck?

lazy sunday for matt

rough finish for tom watson @ the open championship… he blew it on the 18th.  and tanked it on the playoff.  

i woke up hoping to get so much done today and didn’t get around to any of it… how often does that happen to you?  i had about 4 things i wanted to get done today.  now i’m about to call it a night, unproductive day finished.  lately that seems to be happening more than usual, ugh.  sleep, eat, pool, eat, sleep, eat, movie - that’s about all i did on this lazy sunday.

what movie?  the answer man w/jeff daniels & lauren graham.  if you ever see the movie, let me know if you spotted scene that, in my view, ripped off uncle buck

i’m watching a saturday night live repeat right now w/anna faris hosting.  she’s a classic example of why female celebs should NOT have lip injections.  check her out in ‘my super ex-girlfriend’ (pre-lip-plumping) … obviously the surgery was not an improvement.

curb your enthusiasm, walter cronkite

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

has there been a better comedy this decade?  i could watch this show all day.  susie essman should win an emmy EVERY YEAR.  genius.  my favorite episode has to be ‘the wire’ from season one (episode #6).  does it get better than this?  video – susie green loses it

i just installed tweetdeck, not sure what all the fuss is about.

walter cronkite, dead @ 92.  the first thing i thought of was robin williams’ cronkite impersonation in ‘good morning vietnam’ – funny thing, i’ve never seen the movie… i had a tape of the soundtrack when i was a kid and there were sound clips between songs and this was one of them: audio – robin does cronkite

breakfast, lunch & dinner for me today: Frosted Flakes, Fuddruckers, Kelly's Roast Beef

i have a stomach ache.
