Like Anyone Really Cares

Bank of America is an evil institution. As of tomorrow, after 22 years, they will lose my business forever.

That is all.

So, in my brilliance, I locked my keys in the car tonight. I have no spare key. Smooth. $200 later, I have reclaimed my keys.

Locksmiths are evil money-grubbing bastards from the pits of hell. I wonder if they're hiring....

I'm half-listening to the vapid Sarah Palin speech, and I'm just waiting for her to tell me what a righteous dude Ferris Bueller is. Listen to her, without looking at her...and tell me I'm wrong.

It makes her speech much more tolerable too...wooohooo.

We don't need to make videos anymore...other people do it for us!

So, upon browsing Amazon.com, I found it amusing that 3 of 5 available Kimberly Trip disks were labeled "[Explicit]". Damn right- That should make us edgier!

So, I came across the brand new soda flavor, 'Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate', the other day. Being a diet soda fan, I decided, "Why not? I'll pick up a bottle."

Holy crap, does it suck! I mean, a lot. NOT tasty. Or delicious. Really unpleasant. Grotesque. An assault on the taste buds. Didn't enjoy it in the least. Quite a failure in every area. Not money well spent. A regrettable decision, at best.

Hope I made my point.

2008------- crappiest year EVER!!!

(ok, Jan. 4 might be a little early to make that statement. After all, there are still 362 days for it to redeem itself. And there have been some pretty crap-ass years in the past. Hell, bell bottoms and Rubik's Cubes aren't even cool this year. That's a good thing, right? Who am I to make this comment on the 4th day? Am I crazy? Maybe- but the belief stands.)

So, I'm listening to the Zone today. Sad. But that's not my point. They had one of their usual promo deals, "100.5 The Zone, Really Bad Music All The Time" kinda things. Cuz, you know, they suck. But this one said, "100.5 The Zone- Music To Make Your Work Day Fun!".

This led right into the awful Kid Rock Song "Picture". The opening line to this tune is, "Living my life in a slow HELL". woooohoooo!

Thank you, Zone, for making my work day FUN!

(and I hope I increased my indie cred by bashing a Clear Channel station...)

Must teach myself---

Staying up 'til 1:45AM writing music = not cool...especially if the song really freakin' blows hard.

My brother and sister-in-law adopted a newborn son today...so I'm gonna actually be an uncle. Creepy.

I found this on the Japanese version of LastFM.

I guess it's for people who will be traveling from Japan to see us in Nevada City?

So, I have spent more time this week listening to "Classic Rock" than is healthy. The stupid Eagle is doing their A-Z countdown of every tune by an American artist in their catalog. After one week, they're currently on "R". It's fascinating to me...as it is every time they do this. I enjoy trying to guess the next song, as well as hear some long-lost goodness. ("Good Girls Don't"? Hell yeah) It's worth sitting through the oodles and oodles of pure holy horseshit, and meandering, pointless 10 minute acid jams...

I always feel dirty listening to a Classic Rock station for this long, since I have fundamental issues with the format. I just don't get in any way the type of "music fan" who ONLY wants to hear songs that they've heard hundreds of times. Screw all y'all.

It doesn't help that the radio shows I usually listen to during the day were on vacation this week....

15 brand new minutes of Spinal Tap goodness.

So, for 16 years, 80's hard rock bands have been saying that their career was killed by Nirvana. I've heard many many different bands say that. I beg to differ. You know who killed that hard rock scene?

I feel very comforted to know that I live in a very safe, problem-free complex. It's a great feeling. I was reminded of this fact today, when I got a very official-looking note from the HOA, warning me that if I continued to be 'in violation' of the Association's code, they would need to take further action against me. My offense? I currently do not have a "globe" for my front porch light. Damn! It's comforting to know that, if this is a big concern to them, my neighborhood must be in pretty good shape! Wooohoo.

A quote from melodicrock.com:

"Very distressing and sad news to pass on today - news just coming in is reporting that legendary Boston singer Brad Delp has been found dead at his home."

No more info on it.

That kinda sucks.

For the past 2+ years, my 2-door car has been un-enterable (yes, it's a word) from the passenger side. This is due to damage from an unsuccessful break-in.

So, I went to open my car after work today, and the handle from (obviously) the driver's side ended up in my hand. wooohoo! So now, not only can I not get in from the passenger's side....I can BARELY get in from the driver's side. It's pretty awesome. Entering cars is so overrated.

Nyquil is my friend. Not only does it help with cold symptoms, it also has enough alcohol to help me forget that I hate having a cold. And it inspired me to post again. You go, 'Quil.

Note: My opinion of Nyquil is very likely to change drastically when I desperately try to get myself up in the AM.
