4:20 pm - Rock'n'Roll Birthday Party
|
So my birthday is coming up and everyone has been asking what my plans are. Since my band is playing a show at a bar this weekend, I'm having my 'birthday party' at the show! There will be three other bands and quite possibly some late night after-party action, so don't get me too drunk too fast.
The bar is downtown, and we'll probably move the party into lower haight or the mission after the show is over, so if you plan on drinking a lot or don't want to hassle with parking downtown, let me know and we'll work out plans so you can park by my apartment and get a ride/bus to and from the venue. Speaking of which...

2:42 pm - Sarah Palin Bingo for tonight's VP Debate..
|
|
I thought tonight's debate was going to be entertaining more than anything else, but now I'm absolutely sure that this will be the funnest debate this electoral season thanks to Sarah Palin Bingo! This should be awesome.

This will be the first Disney feature film I've gone out to the theater to see since 'Operation:Dumbo Drop'. Don't ask.

2:09 pm - Duke 3D XBLA out today! Mike is a geek!
|
Like a child on Christmas, or some other holiday where you must wait until the morning to receive your bounty of gifts, this morning I awoke 30 minutes before my alarm started going off, which is set to start going off an hour before I actually get out of bed, most likely due to the fact that I am so excited about Duke Nukem' 3D being released for Xbox Live Arcade today! I stumbled around my room (from the comfort of my bed) to find my wallet so I could pump $12.50 into Microsoft's coffers in exchange for a game that I already own for PC that I originally purchased well over 10 years ago. Of course my credit card information was saved to my Xbox, so imagine my surprise when I realized I went through all of that effort for nothing. Doing anything the same minute you wake up is a lot of effort in my book.
In any case, the game is good. Still. It's even better than it was before, especially thanks to online multi-player support. Duke3D was an amazing deathmatch game! Unfortunately the only way you were able to play over the internet was if you had Kali, which if I remember correctly only Devin and Morris ever bothered to purchase Kali, and I could be wrong about Morris but didn't want him to feel left out if I was right and didn't include him.
Instead of going on and on I really just wanted to let everyone know that I am down to get some multi-player games going, my gamertag is 'Shufly'. Don't be shy about inviting me to a game (of Duke3D or Civilization:Revolution, I'll whoop you in that, too.)

2:30 pm - We need some couches...
|
My co-worker Jonathan, his wife Lindsay, and their home were featured this morning on 'Freestyle', a home make over show. Knowing that Jonathan lives right around the corner from me, I couldn't help but think how cool/embarrassing it would be if they tried to do this with our apartment. Maybe after we get another couch or two, and a mounted javelina head to hang on the wall.

4:35 pm - My ass.
|
|
I don't know if it was the Traveling Lunges or the Step-Ups or what, but one of the new exercises I did last night worked out my ass like my ass has never been worked out before. It feels like I broke my ass.

3:12 pm - I <3 MySpace.
|
So a bunch of hippies are protesting at MySpace corporate headquarters today, which is fine, except for the fact that I work at MySpace corporate headquarters, as do a lot of other people who don't work for MySpace. Last I checked it was fairly common for several companies to share one building. Unfortunately these guys didn't seem to get the memo, and now no one can leave the building for fear of getting eggs thrown at them.
Unfortunately, of all the people that work in this building that don't work for MySpace, I look the most like someone that does work for MySpace, which means I'm likely to get owned by eggs when I leave to grab a sandwich in about a half hour.
I'm going to be seriously pissed if that happens.

12:42 pm - Google is my hero.
|
THANK YOU GOOGLE! I never have to use Internet Explorer on a daily basis ever again! Of course I'm an avid supporter of Firefox, but I need to use two different browsers for most of the work I do. I know I could have always installed Opera or one of several other browsers, but it never seemed worth the trouble since I always had Internet Explorer as a backup. Oh how wrong I was, I've probably lost at least 40 hours worth of productivity waiting for IE to load pages that Firefox would have loaded in an instant.
Now that I've got an iPhone and could care less about what computing platform I'm working with, it's looking like I'll soon join the ranks of the anti-MS legion. Oh wait, except there's one thing...
Microsoft provides the dopest gaming platform on the planet. Oh snap.

1:46 pm - Site's down...
|
So what does one do at work when no work can be done? One blogs, apparently. Until people start sending you instant messages, distracting one from the task at hand.
So today is my mother's birthday, big shout out to her. Thank you for my existence! Much appreciated!
In other news I'm becoming ever more reclusive thanks to Xbox 360 being so awesome. By the way, if anyone wants to play a game of Civilization Revolution let me know, this game is like crack to me. Except instead of getting high I'm just sitting there pretending to conquer the world, though it does cause me to stay up way past my bedtime on an all-too-frequent basis.
I've also been playing Mass Effect, which is like Knights of the Old Republic on... CRACK. Or for those of you who don't play video games, it's like Star Trek: The Next Generation on, you guessed it, crack. Although unfortunately there is no Commander Deanna Troi or Ensign Wesley Crusher. Sad smiley face.
While I'm on this tangent I might as well come out and say that I'm looking forward to Duke Nukem 3D coming to XBLA. As happy as I am about this I know it's going to suck if I'm the only person who downloads and plays this. I can find a multi-player game against some random chump anytime, but I'd much rather be kicking the asses of, and getting my ass kicked, by my friends. It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of asses to kick.
Okay, this is starting to get ridiculous. I can't do a damn thing at the office. I should be out taking a lunchtime bike ride, but I know as soon as I strap on my helmet the web server will be back in full effect. So it goes.
