Dramatic Lemur

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

For those that remember Dramatic Chipmunk (that’s not really a chipmunk) comes another fine bit of web junk… Dramatic Lemur (requires sound for full effect).

You’re welcome.

Vice President Cheney says “So?”

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Not sure if you’ve seen this video or not yet, but in an interview with ABC News our Vice President Dick Cheney was confronted with poll data that says “two thirds of Americans say [the war in Iraq is] not worth fighting”, Cheney says “So?”. He goes on to explain how “you cannot be blown [...]

St. Patrick’s at Rose & Thistle

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I took the day off and slept in, played some Call of Duty 4, watched some TV, and then met Mr. & Mrs. Ghost Dog at Rose & Thistle at a bit after 3:30pm. We were joined briefly by Snooks, and then later Kelly, Miranda, and my brother Travis and [...]

I gets Kegerator

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Today around noon I went down the street to my friend JB’s place to buy her kegerator from her. She’d had it for a year or so, and then developed (or discovered she had) a gluten allergy (which sucks). Seeings how she can’t really have beer much anymore, the kegerator was left lonely and derelict. [...]

End of the week & Bon Iver

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Last night I was out with my brothers at Moon & Sixpence for some beers and dinner. Fortunately I got home at a reasonable hour, though I still ended getting to work late this morning, however it had nothing to do with last night. Kelly took today off from work (tomorrow is her last day [...]

Mash Tun, and a quick recap

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Met my good friend JB at the Mash Tun tonight after work. It’d been a bit since we last caught up, and had a good time hanging out, and I greatly enjoyed sipping on the cream ale the Tun is still pouring. I asked the server (nice fella named Tim) whether he knew if they [...]

Today I bought the new NIN album, Ghosts, an instrumental album that was suddenly released last weekend now that Trent Reznor is a free agent, finally out of his contract with Interscope Records. He’s offering the album up in the following kick-ass options:

FREE: The first quarter of the album (Ghosts I) to download

Gold Dust and the Moon

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Tonight Kelly and I joined several others to celebrate our friend D’s birthday at a relatively new bar in Southeast Portland called Gold Dust Meridian. Kelly and I shared the bus down Hawthorne, but were early for the birthday gathering, so we decided to swing into McMenamins Back Stage Bar for a drink before walking [...]

Long week, good weekend, Legend

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Since last weekend’s adventures, I had another long and fairly stressful work week. The weekend was pretty fun though, despite two things: 1) a possible resurgence of some sort of virus (sinus pressure, a sore throat and a cough, dammit), and 2) a friend coming into town on Friday (I say friend, though he’s a [...]
