So Where Are The Fries That I Ordered...?

Because I certainly got the shake!

Hey, kids! Don't know if you heard the news, but there was an earthquake today in L.A. And guess what? I felt it. First time ever. I could barely hear the rumbling over the sound of my cherry popping. I was actually laying in bed trying to sleep off this cold that I got on Monday when the quake hit. I wasn't scared in the slightest really. Nothing could've fallen on me (besides the roof). So I just layed there thinking, "Will I be able to sleep after this?" And I couldn't. I tried to text those who knew I'd never felt a quake. That hardly worked. I'm sure glad I've got this cell phone for emergencies...

Afterward, I turned on the news and they were apparently freaking the fuck out. It really wasn't that big a deal. Either that, or I'm way too resigned to the probability of death (which, as mortals, we know is 100%). Whatevs.

In case you are concerned (thanks), I'm fine. Everything is fine. Nothing fell. Not even Kataneh's shot glasses from around the world collection. All is good, except for my sore throat.

In other news, in case you hadn't noticed (and shame on you), I've got some new pics. With celebrities even. Check 'em out. Leave comments, ask questions, print 'em out at draw mustaches on everyone, whatever you feel like doing.

Comic-Con was cool, albeit less cool than previous years. It's way too crowded and the lines are nuts. I missed a couple of panels due to long lines (in the sun). Parking sucks huge. I don't think that that's a secret. I should be posting more pictures on my photobucket soon. Remind me if necessary.

I did notice a something that kinda bugged me this year. Like, I saw people, couples rather, where the girl was dressed in costume but the guy wasn't. Totally lame. Talk about your lack of support. I'm not saying that if she's dressed as Raggedy Anne, you gotta be Andy but you gotta wear something other than your normal dork-suit. And carrying a camera with a giant lens doesn't count. Just because you're taking photos doesn't mean you're providing an invaluable service. You're an emo-haired paparazzo at best. And you're lame, but that goes without saying.

I saw that Bat-flick that everyone is talking about (or trying to 'cause it's sold out). I liked it a lot. I'm gonna have to watch it again to soak more of it in. That poor, dead Australian kid put on a hell of a show. That's for sure.

Well, it's late and my mind decided to shut off so this is where this blog ends. It's been fun, kids. You never call, you never write... :-P Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth!!!

Chip-chip-choooooo!

Hey, kids! Well it's been a while (and I'm sure I say that often) but I'm glad to say that I'm finally off of the graveyard shift and the graveyard life. I love the people I worked with there but the hours just weren't for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a night person; just not an all night person. Well, that is of course excluding quality time with the ladies... But even that would be tough every night (but I'd damned sure try!).

So it's cool. Work is pretty good. I've got money. I like that. I'm planning on traveling some in the next year. New York is definitely first on the docket. I think Vegas is in order. After that, who knows. But it's nice to have "the scratch" for when I get "the itch." That could be interpreted as being dirty and if so, you're welcome.

So what else is up... Oh, I'm gonna buy an iPod. I fought it this whole time but I'm finally seeing the benefit. At work, especially. We have the cables to hook iPods up and let's face it: radio sucks. So I've been buffing up my iTunes, I upgraded to Leopard, and I've looked at all the specifications. I'm gonna get the 80 gig iPod Classic. The iTouch is nice but too expensive, and I don't need an iPod to watch the youtubes, if ever. I almost bought the iPod today, about an hour ago, but they only had it in silver. If you remember your Wesley Snipes, it's always better to go with black (or something like that).

What else? Oh, you must see Wall-E. Period. Waaaaaalllll-Eeee.

Oh, one thing that came up when I was working graveyard was that I'd take my lunch, and without fail, I'd get to the break room and TruTV would be on. Everyday. I don't know about you but this reality show bullshit has really got to go. Speeders is a show they've got. Seriously, a show about routine traffic stops. Also, I really don't need to be reminded how retarded people can be. I see it daily. I have eyes.

But the show that really chaps my ass is they've got this show where they show dumb criminals (I know, original) and the have commentary by G-List celebrities (a la Best Week Ever or I Love The [insert decade here]) . People like Tanya Harding, Todd Bridges, Leif Garrett, and Gary Busey. Now, first off, these people are not comedians. In fact, they're infuriatingly not funny. But doesn't it strike anyone as weird that these people in particular are criticizing criminal activities, when they all have rap-sheets?! Wasn't Leif Garrett huffing paint about a day ago? Didn't Todd Bridges kill a guy? Tanya Harding, worst porn tape ever. WTF, mate?!

Also, regarding the TV people watch in the break room at work, George Lopez is a terrible actor. Horrendous. Stick to stand-up, buddy. I actually think they canceled his show. Now, if they could only do that with the re-runs...

On an unrelated and rather random note, Tera, our puppy back home has a snaggletooth. It's hilarious.

That's all I can think of for now, kids. Hopefully I can write more of these here blog things now that my life/sleep is in better order (rather than reverse). Don't forget to wash your squash, kids. I haven't. :-P Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth!!!
