Fuck Stamford, Connecticut
as pontificated by boundcreature
Do not ever get off of the highway in Stamford, Connecticut when you are hungry or have to pee. Do not ever try to meet a group of people that have split-up on the highway on accident, in a small city, at a Macy's that is three-stories high or in a mall that has five floors (five floors,...

The Great SG Boston Naval Battle of 2005
as retold by Boundcreature
The Delaware River was calm, some might say placid that day, as we filed expectantly into our raft. Six noble soldiers on vacation, expecting at first to float down the river in inner tubes, we were instead confronted with the harsh and not-entirely-welcome realization that we could not ride in individual tubes like...

I want to hear the "fuck stamford, ct" story too. I know I stopped there on the way home from the camping trip for Taco Bell.
And it was awesome meeting you at the camping trip.

I can't fall asleep, so I guess i'll get around to a half-assed update that I had intended to do for the last few days. I haven't been lazy though, I was working on this tattoo design for a lady from Craigslist; it took a little less than 8 hours, not bad, eh?

Dude, e-mail me your address.
I taped this month's "Henry's Film Corner" (Henry Rollins' show on IFC). This month's episode has Rob Zombie talking about making "Satan's Rejects" and Steve Jones from the 'pistols and the singer from X talking about the growth a punk rock.
Just figured you MIGHT be interested...

My right knee is still a bit scraped-up from when I did the half-turn that dropped into a partial front-split during "Footloose."
Good weekend, a bit tired, mostly her fault.
More on this later. Probably from all of the participants involved.

Footloose was filmed in Utah, which is the same location that SLC Punk was filmed in as well. You are bein' punk without even knowin' it.

Wow.
Your journal is always a good read. Sounds like quite the trip you had.
The Sex Slaves rock. From what I have heard anyways.. you gave me their url once upon a time. I still would like to check out more of their stuff.

thanks for the tooth advice. now its just a matter of waiting for the veneers to be made and praying that insurance will give me something for them. and if not, begging my parents for some money.

I too was in NYC this past weekend, but not in the presence of anyone as cool as you three, of course.
I saw The Kings of Nuthin' for the fourth time last night, thanks to ThePants. They were in good shape, played some excellent new songs and, in a moment of complete absurdity, played a cover of the song "For You" by The Anti-Nowhere League. I was in a complete state of shock when they started the song, but, as my reaction to a...

You might even get a picture when you get back from dancing.

Hey, just stopped by to say thanks for the comment. I'm still on an emotional high from hangin' out with that kiddo o' mine.
You make me fuckin' sick with the bands you get to see, so many of my favorites are either from there or play there that it's abso-fuggin-lutely ridiculous. and by the way, NOBODY comes here to play. And by nobody, I mean
NO

DEE.
That is all.

okay, so i really don't feel like writing a review of Land of the Dead, so i will briefly summarize my opinions:
1. Best zombie movie of the last fifteen years or so, best zombie movie probably since George A. Romero did Day of the Dead. It certainly embarrassed the shit out of the Dawn of the Dead remake and that dumb movie...

Another classic Fear song. hehe.
I didnt much care for Land of the Dead. There was something missing.. I cant quite put my finger on what bothers me about it. But, it just doesnt stack up to the first three.

Secondly, there's a story in the end of my journal entry that I think you would enjoy hearing, so I'm going to copy paste it for you now.
SO the other day minimalism909 and I spotted the new Starburst smoothie soda thing and decided try it, since we both love Starburst. Unfortunately, it was a nauseating NutraSweet-tasting death nectar from the bowels of Mars. Enraged and bored, I wrote a long, humorously overblown letter detailing our trip to Sam's Club, our excitement at discovering the product, and our dismay at its disgustosity to the address of the bottling plant, requesting it be forwarded to the party responsible for assaulting my tastebuds. It was full of wordy rage and grossly extended metaphors, but really I was just hoping they'd send me free candy. I wish I had saved a copy of it to post as it was a thing of beauty, but those who are familiar with my writing style when I'm on a roll and/or angry about food will be able to imagine what it was like. I included my email address, and here's the response I received today:
Ms. Church,
First and foremost, you have a wonderful talent at telling a story, and I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed your letter. Thanks.
However, I am sorry to hear of your disappointment in the product. We are the manufacturer of the product, which is licensed and controlled, as you know, by M&M Mars. This is the flavor profile they were targeting for. I'm wishing they could have found more aficionados like you while developing the product. Perhaps it might have been closer to the 'real deal' J
Like you, I love Jolly Rancher candies, and have yet to find a Jolly Rancher product that came anywhere close to the candy flavor. They are all doomed to pass, in my mind, anyway.
I will give the R&D group at Mars your valuable feedback. Maybe we will meet your expectations some day. Thanks again for making my day with your excellent writing skills, oh year, and for contacting us with your opinion.
Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Best Regards,
Mark

Highlights:
1. The phrasing in the last paragraph in which he thanks me for making his day, then goes on to correct himself (with an "oh") that it was in fact his year that was made.
2. His encouragement for me to "feel free to contact him at anytime."
3. The fact that the man is a Ph.D.
I don't know why I find that last part so funny. I guess it's the fact that I wrote a ranting letter about shitty soda to a stranger with a doctorate.
Oh, and the candy in question was Starburst, NOT Jolly Ranchers. He got it right in the email subject line (more or less..."Starbust") but wrong in the email. Weird. Jolly Rancher soda would be the shit, though
