Well, I did it. I made it through the first car payment. I have just about enough in the bank to cover rent for August and I have paycheck forthcoming. I still have plenty more room to tighten the belt. I need to reduce my cell phone plan again. I might also kill off the [...]

You always get on top of me and say, “Get up, Baby!”
July 25th, 2004 in Audio, Media and Potpourri. 7 CommentsWe went to see Honchie last night at Clearview. It was awesome, as usual. I talked to this guy for quite a while. He was interested in coming to check out Soul Glow, but it turns out he’ll be out of town covering the election for our next show. Or so he says.
Devo paid to [...]
Last night John and I went to my favorite lesbian, er, Lebanese restaurant, Ali Baba. I don’t eat half as much in one sitting as I did four years ago, so Ali Baba is another joint where I can order dinner and then have enough for lunch the following day.
The food is great, but the [...]
Anybody know if there’s any decent software for (or possibly an xmms plugin) for playing CDG or mp3+g files in Linux?
TMBG at Trees kicked all ass, twice. Corn Mo got to play Particle Man with Linnell, twice. B snapped some damn good shots of the show, and two really good videos. I encoded the huge-ass videos using XviD. Check them out here.
One of those videos is the poem they sang before both shows. I don’t [...]
Phriday Phive:
1. What color ink pen do you like best?
Red or black. Depends what I’m writing.
2. Do you prefer plain paper or paper with lines (notebook paper)?
Plain. It just feels nicer, if you have a nice pen.
3. What’s better: books from the library, or reading online?
Audio books from the library, printed fiction and non-fiction should [...]
I stayed up past midnight last night reading and brainstorming about what I want to do with my car stereo. I think I’ve decided to go ahead and build a PC into it and use something like this. My biggest hurdle I think will be deciding where to mount the machine itself so that I [...]
Saturday night, B and I jumped in the car and headed for POSVille, TX to see the greatest band in the history of Dallas. We met the POS himself at Clicks in Tyler around 9pm. As soon as we walked in, Chuck spotted us and said Hi. I bought Doug a bourbon and coke before [...]
And when I swing around I mean to deprive you of your precious TV memories.
July 9th, 2004 in Media and Movies. 0 CommentsPlease, please, PLEASE… Someone fire Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. They have done nothing in the last 4 years (except for maybe Nemesis, but they had very little creative control over that) that didn’t completely lift its leg on everything I love about Star Trek. They love to fuck with continuity.
Romulan wars sound cool, but [...]
The stereo in my new car sounds great. However, the more I use it, the more I dislike the six-disc changer. Sure, it’s handy to have the ability to feed your dashboard 6 CDs, but I’m so used to only really needing one CD (full of encoded music) every few days. Also, most of the [...]
