I can't wait . . .
So, due to my lack of anything remotely important to do, I volunteered to make a fan video for Loading Ready Run. They thought it was a great idea and gave me the green light, and now it's done. Provided they don't get too lazy, it'll be up for people to see in the next few days. I'll leave details out for now, (at least until the vid is up) but I will say this: It took me a long time to produce and edit, but the final product felt worth it. It's based on the opening credits to their series, commodoreHUSTLE. So if you've never watched it, I highly recommend that you do. Right now there are 11 episodes running about 15-20 minutes each. | | Sunday, September 6th, 2009 | | 6:53 pm |
RROD
Yup. I got the Red Ring of Death. No, not some disease that will kill me, but close enough. My Xbox is bricked. It's a big, white box of worthless plastic and circuit boards. It's age has exceeded Microsoft's "Red Light Warranty", so it'll cost me $100 to fix it, with barely a guaranty that it won't happen again. Or, I could buy a new machine for $200-$300 (depending on the type I'd want to purchase). And, before you ask, no, the towel trick didn't work, nor am I willing to keep trying it. Now, here's the kicker, I'm broke. I can't afford the repairs (never mind a new one). I'm seriously not sure if my current, fragile state of mind is going to be able to handle this.

The Taco Bell Chihuahua has died. Yes, once more I have become the messenger of celebrity death. Gidget, the chihuahua famous for being Taco Bell's spokesdog during the 1990s, died of a stroke at the age of 15. Y'know, there's a sad irony in a fast food restaurant mascot dying of a stroke. EDIT: This was meant to be posted a few days ago, but it didn't for some reason. | | Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | | 10:53 pm |
Stop Dying!
Really, this is getting old fast, Hollywood. I'm having trouble keeping up with who's dead and who's still kicking. Especially when there are a ton of people out there spreading death rumors about celebrities that are just fine. If the rumors were true, we'd be minus Britney Spears and Harrison Ford. Thankfully, they're okay. And, if you're wondering why I'm not chomping at the bit to badmouth Britney . . . leave Britney alone! What did she ever do to you! . . . ahem, where was I? Oh yes, beyond the ones I mentioned in my last post, we lost a couple more people. William Darrel Mays Jr.: July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009 You probably already heard of his death, but just thought I'd mention it here. Billy Mays will probably always be remembered best as the "Oxi-Clean Guy". and Mary Isobel Sugden: July 21, 1922 - July 1, 2009 She went by the name Mollie Sugden, and most of those who knew her probably knew her best as Mrs. Slocombe on the BBC comedy series "Are You Being Served?". | | Friday, June 26th, 2009 | | 7:27 am |
It was cool
So, Morgan could only stay for a day, and he left yesterday afternoon. I was really hoping he'd be able to stay for a couple more days, but he had a free ride to LA that was coming through town at that time, and well, I wasn't about to convince him to ignore a free ride. So, anyway, it was pretty cool. I picked him up, we went swimming and hung out in the hot tub. We chatted about LRR related stuffs and he answered various questions. He asked stuff about the States and California (he's Canadian, in case you didn't know), which I answered to the best of my ability. I took him to dinner at Clarke's, a local burger place, that he found to be awesome. He loves sweet potato fries, btw. Then we hung out some more and played Rock Band. Then, since he had to get up relatively early the next morning, we went home and he slept on my couch. The next day, sedesdraconis and I helped him work on a "Super Secret Loading Ready Run Project", of which I can only say that it is beautifully brutal and brilliant. Then, Morgan and I went and worked on it a bit more with a couple of other dudes he'd met. Finally, I helped him get to his ride to LA. He is way more laid back than I expected (and also way tall at 6'3"), and just a really cool person to hang out with. I could easily see him being a person that would incorporate with my circle of friends. I think he's capable of getting along with just about anyone, really. He's also a little absent minded, I noticed. And, in his observation, he wasn't even high right then. He briefly lost his camera and we scrambled all over town looking for it, and then right before he was to leave, he forgot his entire pack at someone else's house and we had to run back for it. This, combined with his already losing of his journal (which he miraculously found on his last day in San Francisco after 3 weeks there) and forgetting his toothbrush in Oregon, has shown that he can be a little scatter-brained when it comes to his stuff. But, then, who am I to accuse someone of that. Lord knows I've left some of my stuff all over the damn place while on vacation. For those that missed the chance to hang out with him, I apologize for not mentioning his coming sooner. I was worried that if I started proclaiming his arrival, something would occur that would prevent him from being here. And, as it turned out, that very nearly was the case. But, I also wanted it to be an awesome surprise. For those that missed him, there may yet be another chance. We told him about the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and he almost jizzed in his pants. Plus, he really wanted to go to Great America, but lost the opportunity. So, I'll be extending an invitation for him to come and stay with us again, so that he can do these things and more. That probably won't be for another year, but I can wait. :) Current Mood:  happy | | Thursday, June 25th, 2009 | | 6:57 pm |
All hail the glorious dead
Two days ago, television personality Ed McMahon passed away. This morning, actress Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer. And, at 3:15pm today, the self-proclaimed "King of Pop", Michael Jackson, died of cardiac arrest. Of the first two, I can only say that I extend my condolences to their families, and that they will be missed. Of the latter . . . there are many that have leveled less than respectful comments about the man upon hearing news of his death. I will not be one of them. While his personal life has been shrouded in controversy, his musical legacy will last for generations to come. It is for that, that he should be honored. Remember, it is that ability to recognize and respect the positive contributions of the deceased, regardless of their questionable traits and history, that prove that we can be honorable and civilized beings. Someday, each one of us shall have others standing above our graves. And, on that day, our marks upon this world shall be remembered, no matter how great or small, by those that we have touched. We should hope that those memories will be marked with respect and honor. And, until that day, we should always endeavor to present the same respect that we should hope to one day receive. It is here that we gather to pay our respects to our honored dead: Edward Peter Leo McMahon Jr.: March 6, 1923 - June 23, 2009 Farrah Leni Fawcett: February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009 Michael Joseph Jackson: August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009 Current Mood:  Somber | | 12:51 am |
What it is
So, as some of you already found out, but many have not. Currently, I have Morgan VanHumbeck of Loading Ready Run sleeping in my couch. Hanging out with him has been awesome, but it will have to end earlier than I'd like, as he leaves tomorrow. Some of you might not consider this as awesome as I do, but I assure you that it is absolutely sweet for me. So, anyway, more on this later.

So it begins
On my way to pick up the awesomeness! Current Mood:  anxious | | Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | | 6:21 pm |
Something Awesome This Way Comes
Next week, something awesome will occur for me. That is all I'm willing to say. More as this story develops. >:) Current Mood: excited | | Friday, May 8th, 2009 | | 10:13 am |

I licked carpet
So, had an acting gig today. Played a strung-out drunk at an AA meeting, in a low-budget independent short film. And, I ended up licking a dirty carpet. So, for my big scene, which called for me drunkenly weeping about my inability to be sober, the director wanted me to lick an empty cup that was laying on the floor next to my head. In my fervor to make tongue-on-cup contact . . . I licked the floor. Ew. Oh well, the things one does for comedy. Current Mood: tired | | Sunday, April 5th, 2009 | | 1:18 pm |
Ugh . . .
Okay, note to self: endeavor to never getting that hammered again. Bad, just . . . bad. Current Mood:  hung over | | Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 | | 5:02 pm |

On not yet interviewing
To those that asked to be interviewed in that meme that's going around, I'll get to you soon. I've been in the process of moving (which is now complete) and thus haven't been in an inquisitive mode. I should be later this week. That is all. | | Saturday, February 14th, 2009 | | 12:22 am |
And Now . . .
. . . for something completely different! Craziness ensues at 2:20 Current Mood:  hyper | | Thursday, February 12th, 2009 | | 3:13 pm |
That Interview Meme
Rules: 1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or something of an equally pithy nature. 2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature. Be warned! 3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions, or there will be trouble. 4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post. 5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions. miatauro asked
1) You have the opportunity to engage in a threesome with any two fictional characters of your choice, no strings attached (and from any medium--books, movies, graphic novels, radio shows, TV, whatever). Who do you pick and why?This was very hard to answer because I never really think of fictional characters in a sexual light. That said, Jaina Solo from the Star Wars EU and Leeloo from The Fifth Element. Both have take-charge attitudes and tomboy-ish personalities that I find extremely attractive, plus both have a vulnerable side that endears them to me. Plus, Jaina can use the Force (could get interesting) and Leeloo is "perfect". ;P 2) What fascinates you so much about WWII? In the history of warfare, no war before or since has had such a romantic feel. It feels like a true struggle between good and evil, with clear villains and heroes. It's that romantic nature that draws one to the stories of courage and honor. Also, its one of the few wars where the people that fought it feel more important than the battles or the weapons. Most war history focuses on the generals, the major battles, and the technology found in the war, but the chronicling of WWII has a strong focus on the soldiers. It's a war that's been humanized like no other. 3) (Gonna steal this one from Shalyndra.) What are the two worst personality traits an average person can have?Dishonesty and cruelty. Dishonesty is easy to understand, but I'd like to expand on cruelty. People that intentionally harm others (human or animal) simply for the sake of harming them, are quite possibly the worst human beings on Earth. Cruelty is easily the most evil personality trait one can have. 4) If you could go back to any point in your life and tell anybody you knew (including yourself) one thing, who would it be and what would you say?I'd go back to when I was in 8th grade and tell my friend Erica that whatever happens, not to take it personal for Collin being a stupid 14 year old boy. There isn't any point to being bitter for years over something so trivial. 5) What would you like your epitaph to be?I hope it reads: Lover. Fighter. Husband. Father.
