Month: August 2006

I was watching the movie “Primer” last night (Great stuff, check it out if you like a wordy sciene geek flick)
It got me thinking about the time that Jeremy Bishop, Chris and I all time travelled by way of Bruce Campbell.

We decided to spend a summer afternoon watching the Evil Dead Trilogy in the basement bedroom Jeremy filling in number 666 hunter street.  Fromerly the Kozma home, I passed #666 all the time and was jazzed that Jeremy lived there.  It was a perfect fit for the “I want to be debauched” Jeremy.

As I was saying, we spent the afternoon watching the Eveil dead films.  Even at our best estimate we were to be done late in the evening (having started mid-afternoon).  Any fan will tell you that the Evil Dead Movies are great fun, and worth wasting an afternoon on, even a summer one.

When the movies were over we prepared to head out into the cooler summer evening, perhaps to tool around downtown Kincardine, maybe to hang out somewhere.  I forget. but when we stepped out the sun was still full in the sky.  It wasn’t even close to sunset yet.

Wilco Ferdinand Culpa?

Shouldn’t it be dark?

We went back inside and checked that we had in fact watched the movies, yup the last one was still in the VCR.

It should be later, right?  We all thought aloud.

Here it was, still late afternoon.

We had travelled through time, backwards.

Freaky Stuff.

Our whole summer evening spread before us and we got to do whatever we wanted for a few more hours.

So we watched more TV.

LoL

This morning I saw two great images to capture, a beautiful sky and a bright moon.  I pulled out my phone to snap an image and it locked up.  I reset it and tried again, locked and the stylus fails to actually manipulate the screen.

I was, to say the least, a bit peeved.

After fiddling with it and looking for troubleshooting help I started looking for specific advice from Verizon, as well as the firmware update.

007Ben noted when I pointed it out that the side of the screen might have become sensitive due to the screen protector on my phone.  After pulling it of all was well.  For a bit.

I started to upgrade the phone and it turned off, so I pulled it from the cradle and cursed the strange usb errors this laptop has.  I snapped it back in and restarted the update, which progressed flawlessly.

The phone is fine now (and I snapped that pic you see on the post); so yay!

If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?
Question submitted by Zoot.

If I had a band I’d call it “Cindy Mae’s Cheerleader Atrocity Engine”

The only music I have any talent with is electronic and glitch-noise based, I’d almost have to confine myself to the “emo-techno” genre. With a name like that though, I’d sure sell a great deal of t-shirts.  Maybe even have an organization like the PMRC come after me.  That’d be sweet.

I have been in a band before though, even released a couple of tracks solo.

If you ever hear some lame techno stuff labeled as by “KWCrush” or “BBCrush” you might be listening to one of my old tracks (1994-1996) produced in 4 tracks with an old 386 and a tape deck, using live samples from my answering machine, television and the radio.  Good times.

“i don’t wanna”  was my best track.

The mild “stuffed with walnuts and meat” feeling I had in my sinuses yesterday afternoon became, “overflowing with meat” in the evening requiring doses of pain medication to deal with it.  My head felt like it was being pressed open by a mass of ever-expanding meat.  (Still kinda does)

I’ve got some kind of head-cold and it meant that this morning I stayed home and attended a meeting from bed.  I went back to sleep and caught about 10 hours of sleep in total.
I don’t feel *that* much better now, but I don’t think I’ll need pain medicaton to deal.
