I picked up the Spider-Man DVD at lunch today. It looks pretty cool as a 2 disc set with a bunch of extras. Can’t wait to watch it tonight after work. The inimitable Scott Fournier has suggested another Friday night of drinking, dominoes, and burritos, but we may have to pass due to the unfortunate hair-pulling incident 7 days ago.

While walking around Best Buy at lunch, I almost bought several things in this order: Super Mario Sunshine for Gamecube, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 for Gamecube, Unreal Tournament 2003 for PC, a Canon Powershot digital camera, The Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death CD, the Cabin Boy DVD, a 400 disc CD player, a Game Boy Advance, and Grand Theft Auto III for PC. Each one I picked up, inspected, considered., and then put down in turn. It’s nice to know that I’ve become a discriminating consumer in my old age. Or maybe it’s because my purchase of MLB2K for Dreamcast was one of the worst purchases of my entire life. Speaking of Dreamcast, I realized today that I haven’t hooked it up since I got the big screen TV. I need to get that shit hooked up and play some Soul Caliber. Hoo. Maybe some Marvel vs. Capcom while I’m at it.

Things have been going extremely well on pokerroom.com lately. I’m up the most I’ve ever been up, and I finally am not playing as stupid as I ised to. By no means am I going to quit my job and play poker, but it’s a nice diversion.

At least, none that I’m aware of. As such, I believe I will be enjoying the majority of our Halloween candy bowl this evening. After I go work out of course. At work today many people dressed up, most because they had the opportunity to win a 5 disc DVD player, digital camera, or something else in the costume contest. I typically choose not to debase myself for fabulous prizes, unless said prizes consist of sex, monetary amounts greater than $500, or the keys to a GMC Yukon.

I’ve been able to listen mroe to the 8 Mile Soundtrack and it’s really starting to grow on me. By far the best songs are the first and last ones by Eminem, but NaS’ single isn’t so bad, and Rakim puts an OK effort into his song. Jay-Z song is pretty good. Surprisingly, the one with the woman singing is absolutely great, which was unexpected coming on a rap record.

Not much else right except to say Happy Birthday, Mom, and hope your day is awesome.

Some things offend me. They shouldn’t, but they do. And I’m not talking offended like I want to write Miss Manners a letter, ask that dead bitch Ann Landers what to do, and then boycott the things’ advertisers. No, I just want to punch the offending thing in the face twelve or thirteen times. I really shouldn’t let these things get under my skin, but on some level they end up there anyways, and that’s when I want to start punching.

One of those things was the new David E. Kelly shitfest known as girl’s club. This asshole, who brought the world shit like Ally McBeal and other shit I don’t watch, had the shitting gall to shit out another shit show about 3 retarded women living in San Francisco, blathering about their love lives, and fighting sexism in the work place. Jesus H. Christ on a gamma ray. People wonder why I only watch wrestling, South Park, and the Anna Nicole Smith Show? It’s because if I turn on Fox, at any moment I may have to endure some dumb bitch whining about she doesn’t get any respect and then banging the first thing with either a downed singing career or in rehab that crosses her path.

So, today Fox canceled that damn show. Now, I pretty much hate TV, except for times when it shows me nudity, comedy, explosions, or any combination of the three, but any time the potential for me to view absolute shit is lessened even slightly by a shitty show being canceled, I’m all for it.

Happy Whazzing!

Well, I added the CSS Display property to the site to manage the large blog entries. You should be able to expand and collapse the stories by using the buttons next to the story titles. As with most of the rest of this site, you should be good with Netscape 5+ and IE5.5+. If you are using older than that, may God have mercy on your eternal soul. I may have found a bug with Netscape 6 and 7, however. When you expand the block, and then collapse it, the text disappears but the real estate on the screen remains, just taking up space. Worse yet, when you re-expand the story it pushes the blank space down the page. It works fine in IE browsers, just seems to have this problem in Netscape. I’ll have to look into it more. Until then, comment below if you see the same thing.

All in all, how about you drop a comment below about the general state of the site. It’ll only take a second, and I like the feedback.

In other, non-website related news, I’m pleased to announce that Paul Larsen is now engaged to be married. I don’t believe there’s a date yet, but the bride and groom parents both live in Racine, so naturally the wedding will be in: I have no idea. Congrats go out to you and the missus, Paul.

And with that, I’m going to sleep.

Haven’t been back to the Journal-Sentinel Racine News page lately, so I stopped in for a peek. The first two entries were good enough to warrant a book by themselves, but I’ll reproduce them here in full:

Accident

A resident came to the police department Oct. 18 to report that a clerk refused to accept $13 in change to pay for gasoline at J&L Mobile, 500 E. State St. After an interview, the clerk accepted the money.

I’ll give you a few seconds to stop laughing…. done? No? Okay, take however long you need…. alright, on with the show. Now, I’m not entirely sure that these criminal hijinks match up with those previously detailed herein, but nonetheless an overturned chocolate-mobile and a non-bag-of-change-accepting gas station clerk (who accepted the money after an interview) make for good entertainment in my book.

Happy Whazzing!

It’s not so much that I hate them as individuals, it’s just that I hate Thunder Sticks, the Rally Monkey and the fans, oh the fans. I mean, there are very few ballparks where fans will be there no matter what. Yankee Stadium always packs them in. Umm, don’t know of too many others. I mean, fans in general are fickle, but I just hate the types of fans that show up in the post-season. You get all of these schmucks who don’t know a strike from a balk, and certainly don’t know half of the players on their own team’s names. I mean, if the Brewers went to the Series, you’d have a bunch of richies from Whitefish Bay waving around “Miller Sticks” or something. Meanwhile the poor guys who supported the team all season can’t even go because the tickets are $200 apiece and 90% of them go to the sponsors.

Meanwhile, I am certainly beholden to Cal dutifully report today’s tennis scores. Cal wins our 6th matchup: 2-6,6-4,6-3. I’d like to think he won because my hand started dripping blood late in the second set, but I demanded that we play on so I can’t complain. The new brand of balls we switched to were awesome compared to the shit Wilson ones. Buy Dunlop Hard Court or nothing at all.

My thoughts exactly. Just got finished with some Celtics-Wizards goodness, and that led right into the second game of the double-header where, 2:00 into the game, a pier 6 brawl erupted between Rick Fox and Doug Christie. Quote of the night: “This is looking more like the WWE than the NBA.”

On a level of play somewhat removed from the NBA, I played basketball at lunch today and we split games, but the one to 30 points we won. Yeah, take that Fasset.

You know what happens on Fridays? I drink beer and play dominos. You heard me right: dominos. Now can you dig that…

SSSSUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAA.

So there was this bitch, right? She’s a publicist to the stars, and some bouncer at a Southhampton club, for Christ’s sake tells her to move her damn Benz SUV from a fire lane right in front of the building. What does she do? She drives her damn SUV over 16 people standing in line after yelling obscenities at the bouncer. She then drives away. On alternate days, her lawyers claim that she didn’t realize what she was doing, the car was too powerful for her to handle, and she was distraught because she found out her mother was diagnosed with cancer that morning. After all the people hurt and being charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, a felony this… woman gets 60 days in jail. The maximum possible sentence was 8 years in prison, but what a damn surprise, she gets 60 days in jail which she started serving today. The thing that kills me is that

“in court, defense attorney Stephen Scaring of Garden City argued that because Grubman “is truly sorry and is truly remorseful,” (State Supreme Court Justice) Mullen should consider reducing the jail sentence to 30 days.”

Are you kidding me? This kind of upper class bullshit is just what makes my head explode. This pretty little bitch thought she could run over people and then get off when she says “sorry”? I hope some butch in there makes Lizzie her bitch.

*pant,pant* OK, now that that outrage is over, I can talk about the basketball league. See, I like to play basketball, but its starting to get rainier outside these days, so me and Judd were going to join a league. Last year, we played in the Baptist League, with no swearing, no taunting, and assholes who would full court press you when they were up by 50 with 1 minute left in the game. After all that shit, I may actually be playing again. I want to play basketball, and apparently this is the only way I can. But I haven’t decided yet, so maybe not.

Happy Whazzing!
