Bumper Sticker du jour. 

Silent Bob Speaks.

I have been a fan of Kevin Smith for a helluv a long time. I think his wit/wisdom is just the shit. I just received Silent Bob Speaks from Amazon today. It is a collection of his essays over the past couple of years. I am saving it for the long plane flights next week.

I also just discovered his personal blog. I know big-time fans hang on their idol's every word. But I believe for the unintiated, this will help gauge whether you love or hate him.

Hard to describe his humor because, when explaining, it always falls into the 'no substance, dick and fart' category. He has plenty of that, but it is smart and it almost always involves pop culture that I identify with.

Looking pnub in all the wrong places.

Whoa. There are 3 weddings to attend in the next couple of months. Fun stuff fo' sho.

All Too Easy...

Finally caught Star Wars Ep. 3 tonite in Manhattan Beach. It turned out to be as good as I expected. Probably rate it as a B-. It is still a big, decent movie but alot of the feeling comes from the first one in 1977. The dialog between the love birds is laughable but the special effects are top notch and Ben Kenobi opens up that special Jedi can on several planets. I finished the Xbox video game based on the movie last week. I would also give it a B-. Rent it before you buy it would be my suggestion.



Little Orphan Annie

Southern California trip

Just touched down at LAX and will be around here for the next few days. Going to see the Los Angeles Angels tonite. Boy, that does not roll off the tongue.

In town for some business... nothing big.

And I will try and get to Gladstone's in Long Beaaatch too. My friend is the manager there and says it is good stuff. I'll gladly be the judge of that.

And Miles To Go....

Hey all. I get to go home sometime today. From Reno to Bellvue to Seattle. Fun stuff. Shitty weather happens out here (WA) in a heartbeat. Then it clears up. Go figure.

The funny thing is that it is the work place where I have met most of my friends over the past 15 years. Sweet LT is the exception. Never worked with her but met through friends when I was at Philips. Let me tell you that she is direct-and-to-the-point personified. I shit you not.

That particular comment is a very endearing trait. Can't find too many folks in that group. Beauty (redheads anyone ?), brains, independent and snarky. Hey what's not to love ?

So 6 years later, we still meet occasionally for drinks and trade stories. Her's are always better then mine. Have been for years.


holey moley.

You Better Recognize

I remember when Tboz from the music group TLC hooked up with rapper Mack 10. I thought it was a little odd but whatever. Then time passes. CNN reports that the two are filing for divorce and there is some sort of restraining order on Mack 10. The news didn't hit me as much as the picture (below) that was attached to the story on CNN. Does it seem odd to anyone else out there ?

Word to your Mother.

I'll be the first to say (a day early, I know) Happy Mother's Day out there. Many friends of mine will be enjoying their first MD this year.

Music to my ears.

Like I said before, seis de mayo isn't that great. Yesterday, after some debate on where to be, I ended up in Sacramento meeting a friend for a drink before mosey-ing on out to Roseville. She digs on music just as much as I do. She is a fan of good hip/hop music with a beat....and I do remember one time in Vegas (not band camp) where she strutted her stuff on the dance floor. It was good stuff to see strutted. Shit... I think I just blew the Code of Vegas...

Propslight on: jimmyG and Andrew.

So who are the geeks down below ? On the far left is Jimmy Galbraith. Not only is he a killer musician but he also happens to be MacWorld Magazine's Lab Director. Amazingly witty guy. I have worked with jimmyG over the years at places like Macworld and Philips. The guy in the middle is Andrew Eisner. He has been in the tech industry for awhile now. He was my first real boss in this field. He also has the distinction of being the first manager to ask me what I want to be doing with my career in 5 years. He rocks (though differently then jimmyG). He does some cool stuff with PC Magazine. And the last guy on the right ? I forget his name. Nice shades though.


cold chillin.

Quatro de Mayo

One day to go. was never a big fan of the 5 of may... and once i was old enough to drink, the seis de mayo was no fun either.

As it goes, i am going to meet up with some friends tomorrow in roseville and then go to the Serenity preview.

Just got word that a business trip to reno is on the way in the next couple of weeks and then at the beginning of june there is the proverbial bachelor party on vegas. Feels like I was just there. Oh wait a sec, I was just there. Thank god I have an endless supply of disposable cash... or this could get ugly.

Yeah Baby, Yeeeaaaah.

Lady Luck decided to skip town when I was in Vegas last night and earlier today.

It is a love/hate thing.
