Backorder Nightmare
Last night I had a dream that I checked my email (I know, intense) and Adorama had shipped my fisheye lens. It was extremely disappointing to actually check my email today and see that yes, it is still on backorder, and they have no idea when Nikon will be getting them out to distributors.
I checked [...]
Coincidencityosityness
I just found out last night that Good Riddance broke up, yes? So today I go over to Amanda’s to hang out a bit and she’s wearing my Good Riddance shirt. Kinda weird, but not so much. She wants to head over to Target so we hop in my car and I put my iPod [...]

I didn’t really think it would happen.
I didn’t really think that everybody involved in The Big Race™ would actually be cruel enough to force the loser to get a Hello Kitty tattoo on his ass, but he seemed game. Defeated, but accepting.
Chuck, Tom and I showed up at the Ink Spot at about [...]
Good Riddance Breaks Up
Good Riddance, one of the many bands I discovered during my embarrassing “punk is the only type of music worth listening to” phase, but one of the few that was actually worth listening to officially announced their breakup just a few days ago. From their site:

My Easter Commandment
Get as many of your friends together as you can, round up about 3 and a half hours, and go see Grindhouse. That is all.
Read More..>>The Big Race™
So about two weeks ago my friend Chuck calls me at 2 in the morning to tell me that he and a mutual acquaintance, Tom, were at the bar having a couple drinks and a friendly debate. I guess the debate was “who is faster on a skateboard”, and a challenge was born to determine [...]

Was going through my piles and piles of old artwork a while back and discovered quite a few gems, but haven’t put the effort into scanning and uploading any. Well tonight I was sufficiently bored enough to do so.
The first three pages are from Samson: Pig Rider, a short-lived series of drawings I did about [...]
My Latest Fortune
This is the fortune I got a couple days ago at the Chinese restaurant near my house. No joke. I read it a couple times in disbelief and put it in my wallet for safe-keeping; I think ALL fortune cookies should read this. What an elegant way to state such a simple concept to those [...]
Read More..>>Untitled Skateboards
The past several Thrasher magazines I’ve picked up all contained an interesting advertisement for Untitled Skateboards, a Christian skateboarding company. What faith has to do with skateboarding is beyond me, and I’m very disappointed in Thrasher for running advertising for such a lame-ass company (it looks especially out of place when the average ad that [...]
Read More..>>Dammit, Nikon!
It has now been 30 days since I ordered my 10.5mm fisheye and there is no end to the backorder situation in sight. Do you know how hard it is to keep that much money in my checking? Breakin my balls here, Nikon.
