on stupid frozen food instructions…

on what fucking planet do the dumbasses at pillsbury live, wherein they honestly seem to believe that anyone opens up a box of Totinos Pizza Rolls (which come in backs of approx. 15. Mine had 17) and cook 7-8 rolls at a time in the microwave as instructed by the “helpful” directions on the side…

answers to kingdomjames’s interview

To anyone else who requested interviews, I’ll get to them as soon as I can. Been really busy. And basically, I suck. To people who didn’t request, yes, its still open. kingdomjames: 1. have you been practicing your promos at home like i told you? Yes, trying to. 2. will you sit down with me…

on the return of the interview meme…

just when I think I’m out, they keep pulling me back in… 1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.” 2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions. 3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions. 4. You will include this explanation and an…

on pop culture memes to pass the time

(stolen from jameel): 1. Post a list of ten TV shows or fandoms you follow (current or cancelled). 2. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each show. 3. When guessed, bold the line and write a sentence about why you like the character. 4. Post in your own LiveJournal. Some of these…

on pointless protests…

So on the way to work this morning, while stopped at a red light downtown, there was a guy standing next to me with a sign. At first maybe I thought he was some homeless person begging for change or something, but then I actually read his sign and came to realize that he was…

on going to the movies…

Sin City So I probably should have posted before, but I was of course upset about my laptop dying (ok, wooble, I really think I am done with that now). Sin City is coming out on Friday, and I want to go see it, as I have given in to the hype and I am…

on stupid laptop tricks…

My laptop at work with transparent screen Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. so since I lost my background image when my laptop hard drive died (there you go, wooble), I decided I needed a new one. At least temporarilly. I had recently been impressed with the new craze in “transparent” desktop images, so I decided to…

on taking photos…

Torso and Steel Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. So among other problems implicit with losing my hard drive, I also lost a lot of photos that I’d taken and hadn’t bothered to back up to either my server or flickr. Both candids and photoshoots(including most of my shots of both jameel and saturniakitty). So at the…

on Easter Eve…

Got a lot done today. Went out to Cranberry to visit a lighting store to try and pick lighting fixtures for the new house. beststephi was generally unimpressed with any of the options for ceiling fans and track lighting at the lighting specialty store and much more excited about more generic models at Home Depot.…

someone kill me now…

so the hard drive in my laptop seems to have decided to toast itself. Natually, I have many important business and personal files on it that aren’t backed up anywhere. Apple says they can “fix it” for $330. Yay. Of course that won’t recover any of the data, some of which I really really really…

on the roulette wheel of justice…

So in all the hoopla today about Scott Peterson being sentenced to death this afternoon, it appears that a lot of people might have missed the fact Robert Blake was also acquitted today of the charges of murdering his wife. Good for you Baretta. But now, on behalf of all black people in the United…

on musical obscurity…

so the other day, I found a website that catalogs one hit wonders throu the last 50 years or so. Its pretty cool. I spetn some time perusing it, by decade. For obvious reasons, starting with the 80s I recognize more bands than in prior decades. So I was paging through and going down memory…

on moving…

It’s only 11:30 on a Saturday night, and I am exhausted. Got up early and drove to Cleveland to pick up my bar and some other furniture that my grandmother left behind when she moved to Mississippi. Then I went to Dormont to get my hottub. I was of course overly optimistic and was hoping…
