Confession!


I am engrossed in the whole Nick & Jessica divorce saga. I hope he takes her Xian azz to the cleaners. Then she can get back together with her creepy dad.

poopy day

I woke up aggro. Not sure why. Then some internal work things happened, which due to NDAs, I can't disclose. And this made it worse. Also i probably shouldn't have been fueling it with my new Ramones CDs. Then I knocked over my coffee all over my lap. It was lukewarm and I barely got to taste it. But my left side was wet. ugh. Also my co-worker Matt made flavored coffee so I smell like cookies n cream or somethin.

Wondercon


Last week ended sour. I ended up working till 11pm on friday in correcting a clients website.

On the sweeter side of last week, I did some Amazon damage:

RAMONES

  • Leave Home [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • Road to Ruin [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • Too Tough to Die [ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • End of the Century [ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • Rocket to Russia [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]

Rolling Stones

  • Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! [LIVE] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • Let It Bleed [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • Their Satanic Majesties Request [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
  • More Hot Rocks: Big Hits & Fazed Cookies [HYBRID SACD] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [BOX SET]

And
Strange Messenger: The Work of Patti Smith by Patti Smith
Justice League - Season One DVD (pre-ordered)
Blondie Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision (CD+DVD) (pre-ordered)

They should be streamin in today and tomorrow.

On Sat I went to Wondercon with my friend Bill. We got there early and the line was huge and the security was trickling people in. I had pre-registered online.

I ended up getting:
  • Fantastic Four Visionares vol 1 - 4 by John Byrne
  • Marvel Masterworks: X-men
  • Marvel Masterworks: Avengers
  • Villains United (for a friend)

I also got the following DVDs:
  • Queen - Live in London Xmas Eve 1975 (Freddie M. performs in white spandex, black leotard and short shorts but not all at the same time)
  • The Mars Volta - 3 disc set of live shows in Philly, PA and London, UK
  • The Ramones - Live 1977 includes Don Kirshner show plus 2 gigs in Houston, TX

I only went to one panel (in San Diego i live at them). Went to DCU 2006: The Best is Yet to Come. Best bit was when they mentioned Grant Morrison would be writing Batman. Unfortunately, they pre-released the info as this was to be an exclusive with the crap magazine Wizard. At least they kept mum about the artist so Wizard gets at least one exclusive. Altough its already over the net that it'll be the Kubert Bros.

If you have FLICKR, you can see Bill's pics here.

what up?



so much has and hasn't been going on. i can't seem to drag myself out the house except for work and to see juve. i've skipped things i want to see at galeria cuz i just don't want to leave the casa after it gets dark. netflix has become my friend, as well as the dvr.

work-wise, things have taken an interesting turn. my company was acquired by nasdaq. so as of now i'm a nasdaq employee. so far it all looks good. i just find it ironic that i've been so anti-corporate and now i'm employed by nasdaq. on the plus side, i still don't have to wear a tie.

i also got my stock options paid out. my first act was to buy the last 2 volumes of the all star comics archives. then when my check cleared the next morn, i paid off my credit card. now i have $$ for the san diego comic-con, plus a trip to vegas with juve.
