arctic desert mirage

ppview2.jpg

warning: minnesota was thrust in an arctic desert.

mn air moisture and precipitation is currently less than phoenix, az.

do not fall for the arctic desert mirage. my grandpappy is not beating nanna fargis at ping-pong. i repeat, previous generation[bob] is not beating nanna fargis. you are actually witnessing a 35mm photo of arctic air.

emergency council: dvds

dvd-council.jpg

welcome to the council of dvds final report.

i had blockbuster totalaccess for 12 of my 14-day trial. in this time, i received 2 "wrong" dvds and 2 "broken" dvds. the shows i yearn to watch are demarked as "short wait" or "long wait" and never shipped. furthermore, the in-store free rentals[apparent perk] rarely provide what i want.

are these problems just as prevalent with american start-up netflix [up and coming]???
the council decision: no
code: 74ð

**UPDATE**
upon the unanimous advice of the council, i quit blockbuster and will enlist in netflix. thanks to all participants.

kick in the glass

brokeglas.jpg

warning level :: § [smashed car window]
location :: uptown old chicago
incident time :: 11:00pm [central time]
theivery :: none

calling the police yielded no reaction since (1) there were no witnesses, (2) there were no suspects, (3) there was no hotwiring. insurance company [farmer's] procured new glass within 12 hours, to my amazement. upon first viewing the carnage, i feared the loss of my notes/writing binders. after verifying their safety, all else seemed petty.... but that didn't prevent the drive home from being cold.

the annual day of lamb dissatisfaction

lambdissat.jpg

let it be known that today is the day to air all grievances against lambs. they stubbornly bleet despite fully developed vocal chords and when they are silenced it's really, really scary and i need to cover my eyes.

official endorsement: leg stretch

** BEGIN OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT BULLETIN **

lstretch.jpg

on one leg, stand up straight in front of a chair or table.

keeping it straight, put the other leg up on said chair or table.

stretch.

this is the greatest physical pleasure known to god fearing men. do it daily and your jeans will fit better, you will earn more money and you'll finally find happiness. ignore this warning and a plague of locusts will eat your styrofoam latte cups for seven years.

stretch to be performed en masse at my wedding, child's baptism and funeral.

** TRANSMISSION COMPLETE **

February 2007: hiatus

life re-calculations[round two]: i am on a hiatus [two american months] from comedy sportz.

rationale :: offered cut of increased ticket sales for duration of hiatus.

expect percentages of time devoted to friendship, writing, and general nuisances to rise and the value of the dollar to fall.

experiments in stand-up commence this february.

my apologies for the recent lack of posting, but i've been doing a lot of re-calculating. 2007 is the year of change[life, all aspects]... this new eDentity is step one. hey gb, i'm whiny and afraid you'll stop posting just when i start relying on you for my daily happiness. have faith. many weeks of photos and quotes have already been uploaded to prevent such droughts.

happy birthday generation[bob]... you just hit 365 posts.... that's one computer year!

tripics: savannah

sav-stree.jpg

everything was so old it made me feel like i was in europe.

sav-pudd.jpg

the weather didn't cooperate (we only had one day of poofy clouds, which i adore)... so you have to do the best with what you have. there's some related story about lemons, but it's not the one where a car dies every week.

my favorite sight from savannah. i think this pumpkin colored house summarizes savannah perfectly. weed house: savannah :: brooklyn bridge: new york.
