movie 17

#17: The Wolf Man (1941)- It needs more wolfman. (LC)

Gross post (sometimes you have to go there)

I'm sorry, but I have to get this off my shoulders. I think one of the grossest things is when you wipe and get a little on your finger. It freaks me out and I probably use more TP than I should to try to avoid it. Also, everybody looks when they wipe. There. I apologize for dropping to that level. This truth shall not be said again. (LC)

#16

#16: Dahmer (2002)- A friend told me that one of Dahmer's relatives changed their last name. I'm pretty sure I would do the same. (LC)

14 & 15

#14: C.H.U.D.(1984)- A little slow but pretty good. #15: Piranha (2010)- It was kinda good but kinda bad. (LC)

scary movies 10, 11, 12, 13

#10: Dunwich Horror (1970)- This movie is pretty good. #11: The Sentinel (1977)- Kinda creepy. #12: Dracula (1931)- Classic! #13: Re-Animator (1985)- Gnarly flick. Everyone should see it. (LC)

Scary movie #9

#9: Cannibal Holocaust (1980)- This movie is truly special. I don't think I will watch it again. (LC)

Alley Dude

The other day I went to the bookstore in my fine neighborhood. (I at least like to pretend I read.) I walked past this guy. He was just chillin' it that little alleyway and talking to every person that walked by. I could kinda understand. Who hasn't been there before? He might have been drunk, or maybe hadn't slept in a while. I wasn't sure. He was still there when I headed back, so I decided to take his picture (featured above). He seemed like an interesting fella. Probably likes hockey and crap. So I took his photo, then he walked up to me and said, "Hey. I don't want you taking my picture." I told him I didn't, and he said "Oh," and walked back. So, I walked home. 30 minutes later, Wymans sent me out to get her a burrito from Cha. As I drove past this little alleyway, the guy was sleeping in it with his coat over him. I'm glad he finally got some rest. (LC)

scary movies 7 & 8

#7: The Wicker Man (1973)- Great flick. Everyone should see it. Man, I don't like the fuzz telling me what to do, either. #8: Nuda per Satana (1974)- I had a hard time following this movie because it was in Italian. Well, I could follow at least a few things, anyway. You figure it out. (LC)

Scary movies 4,5 & 6

#4:2012:Zombie Apocalyse (2011)- The cartoon zombie tigers at the end killed it for me. #5:Level 7(I think this is the name of it. I can't remember.) - It was a fun movie, but it only if you can read or understand Spanish. I recommend it. #6: Slither (2006)-THIS WAS A FANTASTIC CREATURE FEATURE STYLE FLICK! A MUST SEE. YOUR SKIN WILL BE CRAWLING! It mixes the horror and the comedy very well. I usually hate that crap. (LC)

I never thought I'd admit it but...

I dig The Steve Miller Band. Well, at least their one album called "Greatest Hits 1974-78". Every song is like, a hit. So many good ones that I've heard before on the radio. Or on car commericals. I think this one is my favorite: "Threshold" is pretty cool, too. "Jet Airliner" is a bit of a letdown compared to it, though. Too much boogie-woogie. This album has one major flaw: No "Abracadabra". You know, I'm gonna reach out and grab ya...(LC)

APPS

Did anyone download my new APP? Hopefully not, because I didnt make one. (Bug)

Celebrity Sighting

The rap star Cool Nuts came into the store today to drop off some flyers. He was too busy talking on the phone to say "hi". (LC)

Also...

I'm suspicious of people who wear their own headphones while shopping in a music store. Is our music not good enough or something?...Another thing: Yellow is a terrible color for sports cars and pickup trucks...Also, "dude" is okay. "Duder" is not...that's it for now. (LC)

It might just be me but...

I can't help but be suspicious of parents that name their kid "Mason". Is that wrong? (LC)

Scary movies #2 & #3

#2- Rammock (2010). It wasn't too bad. Not very scary, though. The ending was dumb, and you have to know how to read to understand what people are saying. Watch it if you want to. #3- Pontypool (2008). This movie was kind of spooky. You have to use a lot of imagination on this one. (LC)

Oceanic Risks

I dont like swimming in the ocean. There is just too many variables. I can roll up my pant legs just like any other guy and wade in, but I dont like the idea of goofy Star Wars like critters and sharp rocks becoming or having a hand in my demise. Theres just too many rollar coasters I want to ride still. (Bug)

Browsing

Whenever I have the option of using web version or mobile, I choose web version. (Bug)

Archaic Technology

My VCR recently took a dump and I've been kinda lost without it. I buy a lot of VHS tapes at thrift stores because you can get them for a quarter. I just recently bought a bunch of new ones and was rexcited to spend some quiet time on the couch. I guess I gotta go find a VCR which is gonna be a lot tougher. (Bug)

a simple question

You know those diners that have signs that say, "Serve breakfast all day"? Does that work for lunch, too? Could I go into one at say, 7AM, and order a burger and tots basket, a cobb salad, or a surf n' turf? You know, if I got the hankerin'...I was just wondering...(LC)

Fly on the wall

You may have already seen this photo somewhere else. I just felt compelled to post it here.

I bet that was some party! (LC)

4th annual October scary movie festival

This is the 4th year in a row where I will attempt to watch 31 scary movies during the month of October. I know there are more challenging and prestigious "official" challenges out there doing something like this, but my personal one is about all I have the attention span for. I'll try to keep reviews posted up here. Here is my first review: I got a late start and kicked off the October scary movie festival today with a movie called Strigoi (2009). It wasn't scary. I started reading a book 30 minutes in. This movie is very dull. Lame way to start the fest. I do not recommend watching it, unless you really want to. (LC)

Good times gone

I used to have a pair of really rad aviator glasses. I only bring this up because they are coming back in style with the metalheads again. I'm just saying that I used to have a sweet pair back in the oughts, when only I thought they were cool. You know, the ones with the big mirrored teardrop lenses. I have a large head and these were big enough. I felt like a badass when I wore them. Probably like how Rob Halford feels when he wears his...I lost them dunking babes in the Boise River. That was a lot of fun, but I wish I woulda remembered to take off the shades first. They were bitchin'...

3 items of business

1: You wouldn't believe how many people don't know how to operate a Cd player. 2: I saw a dude begging for change at Whole Foods yesterday. He had on Ray Ban prescription glasses. I wish I could afford Ray Bans. 3: You can't polish a turd. (LC)

3 regrets

People say to live life with no regrets. I think that's a stupid philosophy because it is impossible. I believe everyone regrets something because everyone does stupid things. They realize it later. Those who say they don't regret anything are probably too stupid to realize that. Anyway, here are 3 of my many regrets: 1: I wish I embraced Ozzy Osborne into my life sooner. I was too afraid he would make me evil and want to kill puppies for him. When I finally accepted him, I discovered that Slayer are way worse. I embraced Slayer a couple of years before Ozzy. 2: I regret never playing a Dungeons & Dragons game as a kid. I always wanted to but could never find other kids that wanted to play. I still haven't played the game, but I don't think it would be as cool to me now as it would have when I was 14. 3: I wish I could re-do the 1st part of college...and the 2nd part, too...well, all of it. I should have studied Accounting, Engineering, Spanish, Botany, or something like these. Then maybe I could get a job that pays better. So far, my Communication degree hasn't paid squat. No one cares about record stores anymore. (LC)

Preferred Footware

Whew. It's been a hectic few weeks. Wymans had surgery last week. She's just as mean as she ever was, so she's fine. She was only in the hospital for a couple of nights. That's okay with me. I hate hospitals. Someone's gotta take care of her, so I haven't been to work since. That's pretty cool. I gotta go back next week, though:( I just cleaned the house because the in-laws are coming over for the weekend. I worked about 5 hours on it and the place still looks like dog barf. I think I'm going to have a scarf made from all the pug hair I cleaned up. Let me tell you something. I've spent hours pondering this. There are only 4 occasions I can think of that it is appropriate to wear flip-flops: the beach, the pool, the locker room shower, and checking the mail. Any other time you're just slowing the rest of the world down, slacker. (LC)

E.T.

I watched E.T. today for the first time in probably 20 years. It still chokes me up. It doesn't help that the damn alien looks like my dog Ruby.

Saturdays

Sometimes its seriously hard to get out of bed on Saturday. (Bug)

Celebrity Sighting!

I'm a jerk. Aesop Dekker came into the store today. You know how there are dudes out there that you think are really cool, and you wished you were friends with them? Well, Aesop Dekker is one of those kinds of dudes that I wish I was friends with. In case you don't know who Aesop Dekker is, he plays/played drums in some really great bands: Ludicra, Hickey, and currently Agalloch (which I have gushed over before on this blog.) He also has a really cool blog that he post hard-to-find/out-of-print music on and usually has great write-ups on them. I you haven't checked it out before, it's called Cosmic Hearse. He hasn't posted anything since June so maybe he's done with it. (Dammit, I shoulda asked.) Anyway, he and a cute hesher chick came in and met a friend. They shopped for records for a bit then came up to the register. I rang his friends up, first. I then asked him if he was who I thought he was. (gotta make sure about these things.) He said yes. So I said "You get a discount." He picked up an Earth record and I can't remember exactly what else. So I hooked him up, then turned to his friends and said, "I woulda hooked you guys up, too, if you had a cool blog like his!" They kinda laughed, but man. That really was kind of a crappy thing to say. I'm a jerk. So, Aesop Dekker, if you ever happen to stumble across this digital rag that Bug and I make, I apologize for being mean to your friends. Thank you for shopping in my store. I hope you will continue with "The Hearse" sometime soon, because I'm getting tired of seeing Vanderbeek's face everyday when I visit. Sorry for the long post.

Threes

You know how they say things come in threes? I think they are on to something because whenever I go to Wendy's. I always get three Jr Cheeseburgers. (Bug)

3 thoughts

Completely separate from each other: 1. Young people tell every story because every story matters. Old people only tell the stories that matter. 2. Nostalgia is when you play an old song and like it after you recognize the old song really sucks. 3. I really like strawberry milkshakes. the fruit chunks get stuck in the straw, though, which makes me have to suck harder. I don't like that. I usually order a chocolate or vanilla shake. (LC)
