I’m not sure how I came upon this tonight, but this is truly a classic.

Oh those Germans… lol

New Phone

I ordered a new phone yesterday – the Samsung Epix.  Since early 2007 I had been using a fairly simple LG CU400, which despite its simplicity, it actually is a 3G phone.  Over the past six months I have grown to hate it.  Wait, I actually have grown to hate it since September 2007.  That’s [...]

This Weather Sucks

Apologies to those of you in parts of the country where snow and cold are the norm.  I grew up in it, so I know what it’s like.  That’s part of the reason I’m living in California now.  That said, the weather in CA sucks ass right now.  For the past 10 days or so, [...]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It’s going to be a relatively uneventful couple of days here at casa de blue can.  I think I might actually look for a photo of a blue can to put in the banner image.  Maybe I will have to go take one myself.  That reminds me: I need a new digital camera.  That’s my [...]

I Hate Potluck

I swear there are some people at work who think any time is a great time for potluck. I bet those of you reading this work with them on a daily basis. Chances are, especially around this time of year, you are enduring potluck after potluck. At my place of employment we’ve [...]

Random Crap For 12/24/08

I can’t believe I’m so behind on this, but Major League Baseball is finally launching their own network on Jan 1, 2009. I’m guessing it will be on Comcast 412 here in the Bay Area, since that’s where they are promoting it. They mentioned broadcasting 26 live games during the course of the [...]

On The Brink

I went on a date yesterday and for once it was successful.  Of course I have said that before (remember C back in June?).  Still, I have a pretty good feeling about this one.  Get ready to puke – as the date was ending we were holding hands.  It was a fairly lengthy date, too.  [...]

Movie Review

Last night, not really by choice, I saw “The Day The Earth Stood Still.”
It gets a 5.8 on IMDB, and that my friends is extremely generous.  This movie was a pile of crap.
Don’t go see it.  Unless you’re really into “saving the Earth.”  I swear that I heard moans at the theater when the whole [...]

Friday At The Nut House

Last night I went to Happy Hour at Antonio’s Nut House.  The intention was to maybe hang out there from just after 5 until 7 or so – time enough for a few rounds.  Well, I was certainly up for a lengthy evening, but I was hangin’ with someone you might refer to as a [...]

The End Of An Era

Last night’s Survivorman episode (in New Guinea) was the series finale.  No more Les Stroud complaining about being cold, wet, lonely, hungry, thirsty, or tired of dragging camera gear around.  Not good.  I’m really going to miss the show.
I have seriously been addicted to Survivorman since I first saw it back in the fall of [...]
