summer

2009-07-21T14:52:00.000-07:00

it is very, very hot, as is often the case in the summertime. i will not be leaving my air conditioned bedroom until october or so. as such, i have some time to tend to my woefully neglected blog.

some highlights of the summer! though if you are reading this, you probably saw these on my facebook page already.

i still love you

why not light some scented candles, put a box of chablis on ice, and enjoy the soothing sounds of jonathan techno's latest joint.

halloween

2008-11-01T12:59:00.001-07:00

i have received two submissions thus far. come on people!

my halloween was plagued by wardrobe malfunction stemming from the abnormally short torso on my chicken costume. you can imagine the discomfort, particularly you gentlemen out there.

i have heard a lot of people say that mccain's blatant, explicit and repeated disregard for reality would be funny were its implications not so serious. i have been reluctant to post any of the many, many examples of the shameful/shameless bullshit campaign from recent weeks, but this struck me as particularly funny despite the tragedy of it all.

where does the time go

2008-03-12T17:23:00.001-07:00

one minute i am being molested at the company xmas party, and the next it is mid-march. where does the time go?

i need a job again. turns out the world might not be ready for a home shopping network that does not sell anything. who would have guessed?

also i need someone familiar with the ins and outs of german municipal and health codes.

for your consideration:

happy holidays!

2007-12-17T16:51:00.001-08:00

greetings international community!

2007-12-02T22:31:00.000-08:00

a quick look at the statistics for this site reveal a unexpected but most welcome surge in popularity outside of the united states! also in weird states.

wow. i was not prepared for this! but this seems as good a time as any to announce THIS SITE IS FOR SALE! i take paypal or gifts.

while i am flattered by this surge in international interest, ronsilverado-mania seems to have eluded those places that would be most helpful to me at the moment, specifically london and barcelona. put down those bangers and log on! cheers.

good times accomplished

2007-11-29T21:13:00.000-08:00

now that i am a professional blogger, i find it harder and harder to maintain this, my hobbyist's blog. lucky for youy, my corporate overlords do not seem to care much for my work, and you can perhaps look forward to a future of random rejected posts about shopping for hats and other sorts of mundaneness. put on them shades, the future is looking pretty bright.

do you fancy yourself even remotely useful? this is your chance to prove yourself. i will be traveling to london and barcelona over the holidays, but due to bad timing and my impulsive nature, none of my people will be around when i am. if you know anyone in either of these locales who can provide me with guidance and/or lodging please let me know.

congrats to the bride

2007-10-25T17:15:00.000-07:00

quite a barn raising it was. and a few others thrown in for good measure.

when i took this, i had been wandering around the massachusetts countryside in the rain for several hours. this treeman was my only friend until a kindly newspaper delivery lady picked me up and took me back to the hotel.

i hope to one day be able to recover enough from this wedding, both emotionally and physically, to give it the attention it deserves. i suppose it is somewhat reassuring that even as they reach their 30s, my friends still know how to act like fucking retards.

i could pretend that i have done anything else this year other than play guitar hero 2. but why?

a guitar hero is born. please note that neither the cigarettes nor the malt liquor belong to this child.

"Federline is now scrimping where he can. He and his entourage of eight wannabe rappers showed up at downtown burlesque joint Corio for a comped dinner that would have cost him $1,200, a source tells us. An eyewitness at the next table reports, "He just kept ordering more and more food and then asked for it to be put in containers so he could take the food out to the clubs with him. Then he started putting napkins in the tops of the tequila and vodka bottles and stuck them under his coat trying to sneak the liquor out with him."

outstanding achievement in the field of excellence

2006-11-14T22:26:00.000-08:00

any of you have any guess as to what happened to all of those movies i used to have on this thing?

the greatest?

2006-10-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

this was on defamer this morning. all considered, this might be the greatest thing i have ever seen on the internet.

Hello, I am a television producer who values theatrical expression as a way of teaching a lesson. My child is almost seven years old now and I still can't get him to understand the importance of a healthy diet. So I want to gather a team of actors together to dress like human sized unhealthy food (pieces of pizza, fried chicken legs, cupcakes, and probably malamars, he loves malamars) and hide in the woods and scare him. His mother, my ex-wife Barbara, and he are going on a hike this weekend in Topanga canyon and I need you to dress like his favorite foods and really frighten him. I don't want this to be a game. I need you to be so upsetting that he never wants to eat pizza again. Tell him things no child should hear. Use your long nails to confuse him and lead him astray. Hit him with pepperoni. It is acceptable, nay preferred, that you scare Barbara as well. I will need you to bring me either a lock of the child's hair or a recording of his screams to let me know that you have accomplished your goal. Actors that have their own pepperoni pizza costume prefered.

give it a chance

i was skeptical, as you surely must be. but this is in fact pretty funny. thank you to jason.

hi everyone. things are happening. crazy times.

take a moment to read this excerpt from the wikipedia entry on "zubaz":
"Because of the fabric used and the cut of the pants, it has been cited that they are akin to "a crockpot for your pork." The main reason behind this is that they do not breathe like today's common exercise attire, therefore they capture a large amount of heat and sweat."

post-nuclear testing precautions

2006-10-13T11:40:00.000-07:00

take note:

"Intelligence photographs of North Korea's nuclear test site showed technicians playing volleyball this week near the tunnel where a nuclear device was unsuccessfully set off on Sunday....
The Japanese intelligence agency also had access to the photographs, and according to U.S. defense officials, they reported that a sports activity so close to a nuclear site was inconsistent with post-nuclear testing precautions, since the underground tunnel where the test took place was located several hundred yards away."

halloween is near...

proud to be of service

2006-09-27T11:51:00.000-07:00

recently i decided it is time to give something back to this city that has given me so very much, dedicating 32 hours of my time to help beautify and make it an even more pleasant place to live. really, it's the least i can do.

the bureau of street maintainence's approach to community service is a progressive one, stressing a strong understanding of today's social ills and their causes, so that we the volunteers can more efficiently drive around aimlessly picking up discarded sofas. as such, day one was spent studying the fundementals; my cohort, a young exotic dancer at fantasy island, and myself watched no less than 8 hours of daytime television to get a feel for the challenges ahead. several hours of springer, maury and montel to familiarize ourselves with the pressing issue of today...babies' daddyies and whom they might be, children who do amazing things.fat people. we moved on to a healthy dose of court room dramas to give us a grasp of the ins and outs of the legal system, and finally an hour of flava flav on tyra. diligent notes were taken, and by the end of day 1 i was ready to hit the streets.

oh wait, i have been called away. day 2 gets exciting.

do you like europe?

2006-09-24T20:54:00.000-07:00

i hope so, because here are some pictures of it.

one of paris' many buildings

estrada's watchful eye over the orient express

evidently it does not take much to qualify as "grand" duchy these days. seems they are just handing that shit out.

why are these pictures so small?

the lady on the right is a colombian philosopher. inexplicably, she resisted the repeated invitations (demands?) of a drunken stranger to take a row boat ride at 3am in a pitch black swamp filled with bats and god knows what else. iron willed, she was.

said stranger disappears into the night.

i want big pictures! not tiny ones!

isn't this picture just the sweetest. if you look carefully, you can see a luxembourgian wedding behind her.

europeans

the man on the left is leopold. he is the mayor.

this dog did not appreciate my use of flash photography. still, he was friendly.

me as the bride.

bride as the bride, and who would appear to be seth gold.

bride, groom, cake.

enough...enough i say! these pictures are so tiny! only a stupid child could enjoy them!
no more pictures until i figure out how to use this thing. in the meantime, i suggest your local museum for much larger pictures.

i will close with some notes i recently found in my wallet. taken at "3" in berlin, my all time favorite bar, i have dim recollections of the group of bar goers they refer to:
baby-faced pretty lad
scarf-wearing gentleman
well coifed how-do-you-do
sally-wally white shirt.

needless to say, i was staying in the scarved-gentleman district.

back in the habit

2006-09-24T20:44:00.000-07:00

oh where to begin.

let's start with today. might i recommend porky's bbq on manchester, a stone's throw from the forum.

baby steps.
