Lateralus

Friday, November 25th, 2005

So, I’m pretty sure I was just able to score a signed copy of Tool’s Lateralus vinyl!! I’m not absolutely positive I got one because the site was soooo slow once they released the limited number to the store. It took me literally 45 minutes to navigate through the entire process. Most of that time was waiting for the site to respond. Ultimately though, it looks as if the order went through and the album now appears in my order history. I guess I’ll find out in “4 to 6 weeks”.

If I do get it, I may make a frame for it myself…perhaps something ornate with a combination of light and dark woods (maple, mahogany, etc.) or perhaps even take it to a professional and have it done up right. Then I’ll just have to convince Lindsey that it deserves to be displayed in the living room…I guess I’ll cross that bridge when/if I get to it.

For those of you who don’t know, Tool is one of the best bands on Earth. If you’re a fan, I suggest you join the Tool Army.

Ansel Adams, I’m not…

But I have setup the photo gallery again. I’ve also uploaded a plethora of new photos from a number of different events. Enjoy.

A Little Ray of Bitter Sunshine

Thank you Scott Adams for making my day:

Do you ever have moments when you think you may have spontaneously developed a super power? This happens to me a lot. For example, the other day I heard some sounds in the distance and my first thought was I wonder if normal people can hear that? For some reason, I felt as though I had developed super hearing. I’m optimistic that way.

I also spend way too much time staring at objects and trying to make them burst into flames. I realize it’s a long shot, but how do your really know unless you try?

I grew up reading Superman and Spider-Man comics, so I take for granted that sooner or later I’ll have a freak accident that gives me a super power. It’ll hurt when it happens, for sure, but it will be worth it. I just hope it’s not a crappy super power, such as the ability to add long columns of numbers in my head, or the power to eat an unlimited amount of eggs. I want the kind where I can kill people and impress people and ultimately kill the people who refuse to be impressed. And the witnesses too, of course.

Apparently I’ll be quite busy. So if it’s not too much to ask, I’d also like a second freak accident that gives me the ability to secrete caffeine from my tonsils directly into my throat.

Hey, did you hear that?

One of my co-workers (who is originally from Arkansas, just FYI) told me one day that he knew for a fact that sex feels better for women than it does for men. I asked, “How do you figure that?” His reply was (and I am not making this up!), “Because when you put your finger in your ear and wiggle it around, it feels better to your ear than it does to your finger.”

Is this thing on? Maybe I’m actually getting around to updating this site. For now, the old site is gone for good.

Yes Mom, the picture gallery will be up again soon…
