Got back this evening from Portland where I went shooting with atomicant, MisterSatan, EnergyChannel, Crim, and Schmelectra . It was fun and I killed me some targets. A dramatic recreation is below.

Now on a serious note, thanks to all for making my first article a success.

So my set article went live. I'm pretty happy to be able to force my sense of humor on others like this. Stay tuned for more in the future.

I finally hit level 60 on WOW. Almost able to run with the big dogs. Well, once I get some less shitty gear. I'm using a stave for god sakes. A STAVE!

I still have a half of the largest pastrami sandwich ever floating around my shit factory. Thanks atomicant, good lunch suggestion.

Also, while there with Crim and Schmelectra we saw the sweetest mullet ever. Ever. It would make Billy Ray Cyrus weep with joy.

So I guess the camping trip is a bust. I'm disappointed, but my vertigo has been acting up enough today that I don't think I could really drink anyway. I knew as soon as I woke I'd be having a lovely day of dizziness and nausea, so I laid there for probably two hours in a cold sweat wishing it would go away as the...

I met with the tax man yesterday for a boring half-hour. I wanted to giggle at first due to his startling similarity to Mortimer Young of Forever Young Films. If you're an Achiever you probably know who that is. If not you're boned.



UPDATE:

I totally helped a little old lady in a motorized scooter at the grocery store without being asked. I'm such a...

Tomorrow is tax day. Sure I waited to the last minute, but I had issues getting all my paperwork sent to the right address.

It was great seeing everybody yesterday at PDXbrunch, and a special thanks to everyone for being so gracious and welcoming to my old college buddy Brian. He was having a tough time that day as his grandfather was in a hospital...

Today I farted around the kitchen and made some Salsa Verde.

Two roasted tomatillos
1 lb green chiles
1/2 bell pepper
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/2 medium onion
clove garlic
dash of pepper
dash of salt

That all went in the food processor and got whirred up. A dash of lime wouldn't be bad for next time. It was pretty mild overall and had a lot...

Through a series of wacky events I got an offer from the head editor of a weekly entertainment paper to write music columns. The only problem is I don't live in Bend, so it's pretty much a no-go. That's a bummer, but comedy writing is really more my specialty.

I have returned from Buckethead in Bend. The drive to it through the mountain passes was a bitch, but I made it despite the lack of attention to the road from ODOT. The venue was a little dive place with couches and benches and whatnot. The crowd itself was a bit rowdy, and made up from walking teenage stereotypes. I saw the Emo Kids, Drama...
