Today, Shalome and I became foster dog parents. Actually, we signed up last weekend, after one of our neighbors who works for a rescue organization encouraged us to check it out. But tonight we went down to the adoption event where the rescue shelter takes their dogs to [hopefully] be adopted, and our neighbor told us there was a perfect dog for us back at...

I had a long entry about this being my first blog of the year and recapping a bunch of highlights from last year -- various trips I took with friends, Prom, my surprise 30th birthday party (aka. the best present ever) -- but it took me 3 days to write some four paragraphs, and I decided to scrap the entire thing because if I tried...

I bumped your thread just in case others haven't heard about it. I just heard about it for the first time a couple weeks ago. I really like the idea, and if a lot of people got involved the investment would balloon, because my understanding is that once it gets paid back the money is reinvested into new projects.
As per the friends thing, is it a technical obstacle (doesn't seem like it'd be) or just a layout concern? Either way, I'm glad to hear you've brought it to their attention. Thnx.

If you honestly think I was being patronizing to black people, hi, I'm Randy. Have we met?
I love Shalome. Sometimes she sends me things at work that really make my day.

on the way to the bar, marge said, "just a warning, dude. bean's a hugger."

I love Halloween, but the fact that it always comes so close to my birthday means that I'm rarely able to fully enjoy it or get into the Halloween spirit. This year is no different. It really just feels like another day, for the most part. You might be wondering, "What does 'getting into the Halloween spirit' mean?" In truth, I don't know. It just...

Mostly, it just bums me out when I don't get to really do anything, like this year. But I love Halloween like a mofo.

What cannot be clearly seen is that the wristband has words stitched into reading:
"Think Locally
Fuck Globally"
Art History THAT.

I've had Tegan and Sara's Are You Ten Years Ago practically on repeat all week, with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Down Boy fitting into the rotation periodically.
This sort of obsessiveness over a single song really skews my Last.fm band rankings.
Have I mentioned I'm a huge data mining and stats geek?

I think you articulated my feelings about Stardust pretty well just then. I really had no idea what to expect, other than the fact that anything spawned from the brain of Gaiman is bound to be awesome. Truly, I loved it and have not the slightest criticism.
cookiepuss:
Dude.
Griffith Park burned tonight.
SGLA was abuzz. It was certainly thrilling, if totally surreal as well. Baudot and the coincidentally named GarageDelFuego had to evacuate and spent some time with me and Shalome on the roof of the Arclight theater parking garage taking photos and watching the flames shoot up over the hills behind the observatory, before coming back over to our place, where we...

Man, I disappear for a few days and look what happens. I'm glad you're all ok.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it a big deal (at all). That's just the first time I've ever been aware of comments being deleted by people aside from the posters. It just sorta threw me for a loop.
And yeah (just reading your blog), glad to see everyone's alright. That must have been kinda crazy.

One of the things about being someone who requires very little sleep (and gets very little sleep) on any given night is that there is very little margin of error. What I mean by that will become clear shortly.
Last night, like most nights, I said goodnight to Shalome, got back up, walked over to my computer, and started playing World of Warcraft. Usually,...

OMG Snow Crash, how awesome is it? I'm sure you've already talked to a million people about it. Yeah after reading that I was like GIMMIE MORE!!! So I read Cryptonomicon, which I also really liked but it's definitely a different kind of story.
Anyway I was just about to come over and tell you that you sounded tired because of the incoherent rambling of a comment in my journal. I liked it and thank you for the compliment, but you sounded a bit out of it. AND I was right! Do I know bean or do I know bean?

Thanks hon. But I am really tired of driving up there. We'll just have to drink a lot this weekend. And find a certain dark corner?
Rawr_Ima_Monster, obd, Koleeta, Maxx, Margot_Dent and I saw Man Man last night at the Roxy. It was one of the best shows I've seen. Their energy is amazing. The videos below aren't from last night's show, obviously. The first one has the best clarity and best sound, but the other two really highlight the raw energy they have on stage. The...
