If you didn’t see an animated short called Tripping the Rift, back when it was making it’s rounds around the ‘net several years ago… where were you? Well, you can catch up here.

At any rate, four years later, the award winning short has blossomed into a full fledged series on the SciFi channel. (With Gina Gershon doing the voice of Six. um, can I get a w00t?) Now, it IS on cable.. but I somehow doubt they’re still gonna have lines like “Lip stick wearing felch monkey!” or “Why don’t you fight without your faggot clown powers, son?”… but one can hope. heh

At any rate, TiVo is set to record. I’m stoked.

Holy shit… this little Flash movie very succinctly describes the stark reality of the Gay Agenda. Come on… you knew they were up to SOMETHING!

of an ad company’s demo reel, and not a real commercial. Too bad.
;)

PS: I’m now officially afraid of Kellog’s Nutrigrain bars…

United Airlines either sells or gives email addresses of it’s customers to spammers. How do I know this? I am getting spam at an email address I created solely for the purpose of giving to United Airlines. It’s never been given to anyone else, ever.

I guess since their bankruptcy, they’ve stooped to really cheap moneymaking tactics liking selling email lists. Well, I hope they made a lot of money on the sale of my address… because I won’t be buying any fucking airline tickets from them now.

So, in closing: Fuck you, United Airlines. I hope you die and rot in that special level of hell reserved for telemarketers and spammers.

Once upon a time, the Los Gatos DMV was a little known secret. It had the shortest lines of any DMV in the South Bay and was worth a little extra drive time. It just figures that now that I live IN Los Gatos, that secret is no longer a secret it seems. The crowd that hits the LG DMV daily is so massive there isn’t even any parking.

Massive and stupid. Massively stupid, in fact.

So I show up at my scheduled appointment time (2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday) and park down a side street. I don’t know if any other DMV’s are set up like this one, but the one in Los Gatos is interesting. It has you go to a starting point counter (with one line for appointments and one line for morons) like most DMVs I’ve been too. But instead of telling you which line to go stand in, they give you a number and tell you to watch the monitors for your number.

Armed with “A28″, I went to stand amongst the herd and await my fate.

The monitors showed various numbers and window assignments. One A number (A18, I believe), a couple D numbers and several G numbers. It didn’t take long to piece together that A numbers seemed to be reserved for appointment holders and they were being called rapidly.

In case I haven’t made clear how crowded it is, it somewhat resembled an airport terminal during the holiday season. People sitting and standing everywhere, watching the monitors and bitching about how long everything is taking.

One woman seated in front of where I was standing made sure to tell everyone that she had been there for “three hours and still had 10 numbers to go!” She was a G-something number, apparently. She got persnickety whenever an A, B, C or D number got called.

A woman who had just walked up overheard the three-hour-G-lady and sort of gasped. “I have an A number, what does that mean?” she asked.

I leaned over and said, “You have an appointment, right? Means you’ll probably be outta here inside ten minutes. That’s about how long I’ve been here and I’m next…”

Three-hour-G-lady gave me a really dirty look. Like it’s my fault she’s a dumbass.

Ok, so that last one was a little more angry than I had originally planned… and I really must get back to work, so for this entry I leave you with some links to some music I’ve recentlys been enjoying. (The links are iTMS links, so if you don’t have iTunes.. they won’t work. (And wtf is wrong with you?! Loser.))

Shirley Bassey - The Remix Album… Diamonds Are Forever. - Shirley Bassey is like…THE voice of the classic Bond film themes. She sang Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Moonraker… etc. This album has a bunch of her best songs, remixed by likes of Propellerheads and Mantronik. It’s very cool.

Richard Cheese - Lounge Against The Machine. - This album is friggin’ AWESOME. Unless you hate Lounge music… then you’ll think it sucks. It’s Lounge style remakes of a bunch of popular Rock songs. Songs like Limp Bizkit’s Nookie, Offspring’s Come Out and Play and Beastie Boys’ Fight for your Right.

Bond - Shine and Remixed. - When you first look at the cover of one of their albums, you think “Spice Girls” or something similar. You wouldn’t be the only one though… AMG says they were once hailed as the “Spice Girls of Classical music.” That’s right, Classical Music. Really, though… they’re more worldbeat like one of my other favorites, Afro-Celt Sound System, but with a stronger string sound. (And, um, prettier.)

That’s all for now.

Ok, this San Francisco gay marriage thing has been all over the national news for a little while now and I simply must comment.

I think Gavin Newsom has made a very dangerous move in his political career. He may never go beyond the position of Mayor because of all the heat about to head his way, but I certainly hope he does (if he has the aspirations) because that guy has balls. He’s willing to make a locally popular but nationally unpopular stand on a very tough, wedge issue because it’s what he thinks is right. He hasn’t committed political suicide, per se… but it’s awfully close. A bit like Political Russian Roulette, I suppose. Only we won’t know if the chamber was loaded for a few years. heh.

He was on the Ron Owen’s show on KGO this morning and I only heard about half an hour of it, but I must say… that dude deserves some respect. He took an oath to uphold the constitution, and is doing what he sees is needed to stay true to that oath… accepting whatever consequences may come. Brav-fucking-o.

And on the topic of Gay Marriage…

What the fuck is wrong with you people who oppose it? Why the fuck do you even care what other people are doing when it really has NO impact on you? How does it affect you, really? Does it make your marriage any less valid? Does it offend you religiously? What?

Ok, I guess that’s all rhetorical, because there’s likely few people reading my blog who are anti-gay marriage. (Er, well… I think.) But please, won’t somebody who understands please explain to me the position of the anti-gay marriage crowd? I am actually having a hard time grasping it.

All I can figure is that it must be religious and that makes me so mad I might actually spontaneously combust. Separation of Church and State. How can our esteemed President not understand that? Oh, what? He does? He just doesn’t give a fuck? Oh, well that’s different then.

I wish it was November already. I am gonna stick around long enough to vote, then I am gonna fly to Florida, buy a baseball bat and preside over the folks presiding over the elections.

“Pardon me, I do believe that you are standing on my lung.”

I’m tired of coughing (so very fucking tired of it) and I haven’t quite been able to put away the DayQuil or the box of tissues, but I am almost done with this cold. My voice is still a little screwy, but at least I sound more like me than a sick bullfrog.

I’ve got a lot to blog about… but I just haven’t felt like it over the past couple of weeks. heh… so expect a bunch of entries soon. (Starting with a couple on my lunch hour now…)

Anyhow, those of you that ask “Are you OK?”… yes, I am. Thanks for asking. :)

Fuckin’ HELL. Another show that was #1 on my Tivo list cancelled.
Angel
won’t be returning for another season. Bastards.

Here’s what Joss Whedon, the show’s creator, had to say on the subject: “Two
roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they
CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN’ SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those
people on it. Damn.”

“ugh” *sniffle* *SNEEZE* “ow! fuck”
“ugh” *sniffle* …

That’s my day so far. I have a head cold that’s making me miserable. My head is clogged, yet my nose runs like a faucet and my throat is sore as fuck. The worst part is the sneezing, which for reasons I won’t really get into now (but some of you know), is quite painful for me.

Ok, I guess that’s enough whining for now. feh
