Tonight was the first time in a long, LONG time I ever wanted to throw my computer into a brick wall. Repeatedly.

AtomFilms has a Bullwinkle short I wanted to watch. For some stupid reason, their site absolutely refuses to recognize I have Flash installed on not one but two browsers (Safari & Firefox), so I had to resort to that most evil of programs,...

See this? It was released two days ago.

It is a well-known fact I am an Allan Sherman devotee. I have all the LPs (Well, almost all the LPs; I'm still looking for a couple of the "Best of' LPs), a few 45s, and his most famous book. Soon I shall have his autobiography & the Camp Grenada board game.

BUT!!! This new, limited-edition, Rhino...

So it appears Hizzoner has been reelected.

Lovely.

Where's the MFIC when you need him? He may have been a crony & a crook, but at least he was good at it.

A brief (yes, I can be brief ) overview of the weekend:

Saturday afternoon, Oninotaki and I set out for GR for EvanXtreme and MistressMissy's Housewarming Party, with a side trip to K'zoo to pick up TiffanyJewel. On our way through Jackson County, we had a amazing thought. "Hey, we haven't seen WilliamtheMad recently. Let's see if he's working this weekend." TiffanyJewel agreed...

Today was payday. Yay. $1313.13 is what I was paid. That's an overtly ominous omen overshadowing the opening of the weekend, if I do say so myself.

I do not believe in triskaidekaphobia, I do not believe in triskaidekaphobia, I do not believe in triskaidekaphobia...

It's Halloween. Yay.

I got a rock.

In other news, tonight is pizza, Cynar & Coke, and Goodfellas. It's gonna be an exquisite evening.

Tonight is the night. Yes, after another eight hours of staring at a bright light & playing with hot liquid metal, I'm going to do it.

I am going to rip my lilliputian (but growing) LP library into my burgeoning iTunes library.

Wish me luck.

Ripped so far:
Allan Sherman--For Swingin' Livers Only!, Peter and the Commissar, Live! (Hoping You Are the...

Okay, I have been tagged by both MistressMissy and Vague with that damned 20 Things list. Guess that means I'd better do it, right?

Right?

Wrong.

I have a better idea. You tell ME twenty things you don't know about me. Isn't that a splendid plan? Of course it is. I thought of it, didn't I?

In keeping with Halloween tradition, I did not officially dress-up this year. Well, I did, but I didn't. Allow me to explain.

In 2003 I was the FBI sketch of the Unabomber. One molester mustache and one hoodie. Here it is.

Last year (profile pic) I was Paul Bunyan's long-lost cousin, Clem Bunyan & his brown hippo. One stocking cap, one ratty flannel shirt, no...

Our hero has a quandary. He appears to be stuck for a costume for the swell shindig in the City of Three Rivers (no, not the one in MI). So far, these are the ideas he has:

--Groucho Marx, You Bet Your Life. Two small problems though. I have no duck & no DeSoto sponsorship. However, I can do the walk. At least I...
