Last night the VSLF and I went to BigBabyBrooklyn's Lounge Arcade over in Brooklyn. I enjoyed Super Monkey Ball the most. I'd like to proudly point out that VSLF was gifted enough at the stupidly-difficult Smurfs (ColecoVision) to rescue Smurfette and win a free drink. Woo hoo!

I have never gotten home from Bergen St. (in Brooklyn) easily, and last night was no exception....

Yes, i am trying to learn to play. It is actually a lot of fun, and sounds impressive even with a small amount of skill. I am hoping to play a little with the old folks at the family reunion.

hello, my first and dearest sg friend!

yeah, well, i know i'm probably slipping several rungs on the ladder by my prolonged absence...and my once promising sg society has lost a lot of its steam....

between my disorganized personal life, and the fact that i lost my internet a month ago, i venture that i've managed to slip into the ether of my friends' consciousnesses....

oh, well, what's done is done.

glad to hear that you're as active as ever smile nice choices in music...tho ms phair is one whom i respect but don't have quite the taste for...i like what she does, but can't just sit and listen to it over and over. not like i can do w/radiohead.


peace, and here's hoping that i'll be 'round often enough to get back in the swing of things,

We went to the District of Columbia for our Independence Day cerebrations. We took the mode of transportation known as the Chinatown bus, buses that travel from Chinatown to Chinatown. $30 round-trip is pretty hard to argue with. Greyhound is like 80, and don't even mention Amtrak.

I read the address for the bus stop as "88 Broadway". What a moron. I should've realized...

We watched Ringu last night. I may lose indie-cred for saying so, but I definitely preferred the remake. Still, we got creeped out. We paused it to make root beer floats, and the door to our bedroom slammed exactly as the movie unpaused to loud TV. (Eek.)

Then a hay-ooj cockroach flew in our window. We caught it under a big glass bowl. And...

Had dinner & drinks with BigBabyBrooklyn last night. He's been talking about interviewing with "Mario" I thought it was the actual name of the interviewer, and since he's in games, I joked that I imagined him as a plumber in a red cap. No, he's been interviewing at Nintendo. I was just repeating his joke back to him. Regardless, I do hope you'll wish him...

I watched Finding Nemo last weekend.

What's the deal with Pixar making everything so fucking cute? I would've enjoyed it more if the animals actually looked like the animals they were supposed to be. Look at their eyes! They're so damn googly & human! They should let the writing and the acting make the character, not all this mugging.

Look at Luxo Jr., Pixar's...

dogslife:
Totally agree w/ you about Pixar. I haven't seen, and probably won't see Nemo b/c its look is more saccharine than I can stand. I really liked the Toy Story films and Monsters Inc.--and of course Luxo Jr.. I have to suspect it's Disney's influence that keeps the stories so formulaic while forcing the aesthetic to be increasingly baby-toyish.

Whatever could you mean by "hulkesque"? It's clear I'm wearing no purple shorts, so do explain. Oh, never mind. It's probably the guitar...

Re: Hulk. My pic is indeed green. My lame attempt at dry sarcasm mixed with absurdity fell flat.

You know what's surprisingly good? Now, I'm the last person to recommend McDonalds, but — their strawberry / yogurt parfait is surprisingly good. Sure, it's pretty small, but it's just a buck. And what's a buck these days? And "parfait" is the coolest word ever. Maybe I'll go register sexparfait.com.

It's almost 9pm and I haven't left the apartment all day. I shall do so soon, though, and it will be to get one of those parfait-things. You're an inspiration.

I am a little depressed today due to a (fairly minor) medical condition that had slumbered for nigh-on two years rearing its ugly head. Dang.

I met the friend of a friend yesterday. Two things set alarm bells ringing: first, the I-shall-crush-your-hand handshake. Why do so many guys do that? Second was the polo shirt. Solid color. With a logo. At the restaurant we...

I recommend you all take a look at Siv's candids. They are very well-done and pleasing to the eye.

It's lame to bring up a movie just to say how bad you thought it was, but when it's been, like, #1 for weeks on end all over the world and then you sit down to enjoy it and it's a piece of poo,...

freyja has pointed out just how crap I am at updating my journal. Sometimes, I just don't have a lot to say, you know?

Thank you for Hearing Me -- you know, that annoying as fuck phone ad.

Were you really drunk at the time of the friends-living-together idea? Or high? Because I and my friends had the same idea once, and then once we sobered up we realized we had reinvented the frat.

Weird cuz we were honors dorm kids.

I just finished reading You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers, former editor of the totally excellent MIGHT Magazine, and author of bestseller A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I didn't like AHWoSG so much; it was just so so so very very self-conscious. In a clever way, but still. This newer book is fiction.

It's about three close friends: Jack, Hand,...

If you google "hitting the 57", the first link is the Museum of Menstruation, who have added it to their lexicon.

Now, go to this thread, and ask me what "updog" is. Bump, set, spike!

Edit: No, no, you've got to ask me in the thread!

Edit2: Thanks, French Fries. Here is your reward. Request rescinded.

I am returned from our 1-week Californian vacation. Friends, family, etc. We had a very good time. You know, the San Francisco Bay Area is very beautiful.

I now have my very own Jim Ether doll. It's beautiful. I must photograph it.

Nothing more to say right now. I'll reintegrate myself back in to SG soon enough, but I'm a little busy. Thanks for...
