Trishelle Canatella: My perfect woman

August 31st, 2005 · 3 Comments

I really don’t ever see anyone famous. Like, ever. In fact, I’ve now lived in LA (or, well, Redondo) for two years, and I can count on one hand the number of famous people I’ve seen. This doesn’t count when I was backstage for a KROQ acoustic Xmas concert, cuz there were famous [...]

Useless filler post

August 30th, 2005 · No Comments

So, it turns out that the helicopter game still exists. Man, that brings back memories. But seriously…don’t try the game if you don’t have a week or two to spare. It’s a tad addictive.
So what are y’alls high scores?

Turning fantasy into reality

August 29th, 2005 · 1 Comment

You may remember my post about how a couple of Sundays ago, I was too hung-over/too stupid to remember when my fantasy draft was. I figured I was going to miss it, since we were supposed to be in a flip-cup tournament that afternoon. Well, as fate would have it, our intrepid captain [...]

“Showtime, Synergy!”

August 28th, 2005 · 1 Comment

We all have different ideas of what is funny. I remember back in, oh, 1989ish, when the HA! Network first came out, they ran these series of promos wherein some goofy loud guy would describe and/or enact a bunch of things and say, “Is this funny? I don’t know! I’M ASKIN’!” [...]

Now I can die a happy man

August 23rd, 2005 · No Comments

You ever have one of those splinters in your brain? Like, a song that you remember hearing a long time ago, but you never figured out who it was by? And it gets so bad, you start to doubt if you even heard the song in the first place. The details fade [...]

Jamie Umber finally has Google hits

August 22nd, 2005 · 1 Comment

Posting about Google hits for strange phrases (as I did with “why should it goes well”) got me thinking about how googling has changed out lives. I’m not going to delve into some sociological rant about it or anything, so don’t worry (what do you think this is, Livejournal?) But think about it: [...]

Knock the dust off

August 21st, 2005 · 1 Comment

I don’t really know what to say about this, other than if I didn’t have a TV tuner card — and thereby the ability to record television shows to my computer at the touch of a button — you’d never be subjected to things like this.
Having said that, I’m sure if you’re checking out [...]

Because “food” and “folks” were already taken

August 20th, 2005 · No Comments

For some reason, Round Table Pizza isn’t the hit down here in SoCal as it is up north. That’s a shame, since it’s damn good pizza. To whit: Kolleen (I’d link to her Myspace page, but SHE DOESN’T HAVE ONE) had never been there before I dragged her there a couple [...]

“Thank you, Rick Slovak!”

August 19th, 2005 · 2 Comments

This may come as a huge surprise to many of you, but as a kid, I didn’t exactly have a lot of what we’d call “friends”. As such, I ended up playing a lot of video games. The Round Table Pizza by the “Old Mall” (Chico being the thriving metropolis that it is, [...]

Moses, fishnets, and those tasty little cookies with sprinkles on them, Part II

August 18th, 2005 · No Comments

If you haven’t read part one of this little story, go ahead and do so now: Moses, fishnets, and those tasty little cookies with sprinkles on them, Part I.
The rest of the story — not to get all Paul Harvey on anyone — is only slightly less weird. After the fishnet-clad [estimated] 16 year [...]
