hello, sorry about the (sometimes unattended) mess

• 08:29 was not aware that Slumdog Millionaire was almost a straight to DVD release. Now thinking of other left field entries that could have been #
• 08:30 @shespeakstroll No, and I'm frankly amazed that Eagle Ridge even got it. No excuse not to see it now, really #
• 08:48 @aureliom Thanks for the tweet, appreciate it! #
• 08:52 @nebsllim Say what, say WHUT? #
• 10:38 @nebsllim Yes, and yes. Team Fortress Classic pretty much set the standard for multi-player FPS games. Unless someone cares to disagree. #
• 10:41 has just finished cleaning and reorganizing the morning announcements studio. There was a large spider that wasn't too keen on my work #
• 11:06 @tori_vixen What number does the beast of burden reside at? #
• 11:07 @gnatty I was up 'til around midnight, but didn't finish watching the Oscars. #
• 11:09 @rhadaway I need to just break down and buy XIV for Final Justice and the Sooooooooooooooultaker! Yeah. #
• 11:10 @LindseySchaal w00t w00t! Ours should be EFT'd to us soon. I just can't remember when, or perhaps my wife didn't tell me on purpose. Hmmm. #
• 11:11 @gnatty One of my fifth graders is named Amber. Every tweet you have about Amber / Amby makes me think you two are BFFs. Odd, I know. #
• 11:34 @LindseySchaal Oh, that's right. Forgot about that, thanks! #
• 12:56 @LindseySchaal TWSS! Sorry, couldn't resist, of course. #
• 12:57 @nebsllim Wow, you win on the lunch front. I had: orange juice, carrots and a pint of chocolate milk. Talk about massive FAIL. #
• 12:57 @mipplet What was it? UPS, or a key stuck on a keyboard? #

• 13:02 @ecstacy I rely more on 50mg of zinc a day over vitamin C. Not sure if it's just a placebo effect but it's worked for me for a while now. #

• 13:11 @TJ_from_Keene I was more a fan of Tibby, Oh Tibby... #
• 16:42 @gnatty That's got to be some sort of synchronicity, right? :) #
• 16:43 @sexyarmpit Hm, yeah. Now, how to sell that to my wife. This will require some careful thought. #
• 16:48 is listening to his daughter howling for a calculator to use because she "doesn't have 18 fingers!!" She didn't like my suggestion about it #
• 16:55 @breagrant Clearly, it's due to government cutbacks. #
• 16:56 @WilliamShatner Obviously, it will be "extended." I mean, really. #

• 19:47 has accidentally pressed the wrong button whilst using MP3Gain. I can't have hurt my music too much, right? I'll worry about videos later #
• 21:40 is wondering how he just lost an hour just now. I certainly hope it wasn't due to sleep, as it'll wreak havoc on trying to get sleep later #
• 22:03 half expected a #RickRoll after hearing Jonathan Schaech's "together forever" line in Prom Night. It would make the movie better, no? #
• 22:41 @aplusk "Relatively new?" I swear you and your Mrs. are king (and queen) of the classroom in regards to tweeting. #
• 22:48 @LindseySchaal Hey, better that than Death on Two Legs, right? #
• 22:54 has never faced the Kobayashi Maru test. I am curious as to which track I'd fall into if I did take it. Great, I'm sitting here wide awake. #
• 22:58 @cjsec Before reprogramming the test, or taking it as is? Scotty's solution to it was interesting, but got him off command track. #
• 23:04 @cjsec If only Tribbles were carried aboard starships. That would show those Klingons! Or something. #
• 23:06 @rachelstyle You make an excellent point. The only reason I saw someone #followfriday me is because of TweetDeck. Clearly, I <3 it now! #
• 23:29 @ecstacy I will definitely be paying for it tomorrow. I'm sitting here VERY awake and watching Weird Science. Could be worse, I guess :) #
• 23:30 @ecstacy Sounds like time to queue up some Michael Sembello and do some Flashdance dancing, right? Right? #
• 23:33 @rachelstyle Awesome! I like it a LOT (I seem to get repetitive at night)! Intimidating at first, but otherwise Tony the Tiger GREAT! #
• 23:39 @ecstacy Ok, stop your studying and tweeting and go GET PI! Now. Srsly. You may disagree with me later, but it does bear watching. K. #
• 23:42 thinks he should try to call it a night. I mean, really, what else could I possibly do after adding @iamdiddy on Twitter, right? #
• 23:43 @kevinrose I wondered what was for dinner. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that wondered. Mmmm, Thai food, gggggahhh! #
• 23:46 @LindseySchaal ZOMG, I have on sale DVD envy! Nicely done. Makes me wish MST3K sets would go on sale sometimes. #
• 23:49 @LindseySchaal Sadly, we already own WALL-E and Kung Fu Panda. I might be able to make a case for TDK, though. New router too? Score! #
• 23:52 @rachelstyle Really? I totally did not catch those. Big FAIL for me, guess I need to add him now. Thanks for the heads up. #

Tony Bennett - Fly Me to The Moon
Collective Soul - Heavy
Nelly Furtado - Powerless (Say What You Want)
Green Day - Basket Case
Nicki French - Total Eclipse of the Heart
Modest Mouse - The World at Large
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off

Yes, I listen to Tony Bennett. Sometimes.

My first memory of Collective Soul's Heavy was not from airplay or a burnt CD someone may have shared with me. Nope, not at all. I remember it clearly as the song from a level of Action Quake 2 that a bunch of building, a park or two and (of all things) a half-pipe. You could actually run up and down the vert, get air and machine gun duel with whomever you were playing with at the time. More so, the amount of laughter any of us would get into whenever said duels would take place was indescribable. Quite a few stomach muscles were sore during those times. It's fun, really. Won't you?

I have to say, I am more a fan of "old" Nelly Furtado. You know, when she sang I'm Like a Bird. I don't really care for that song, though.

Did I ever tell you about the time I missed a Green Day show just before they broke because I was feeling particularly lazy one day? My wife was quite excited to go to it, too but I couldn't be bothered. Oh, well, I just told you about it. Plus, I FAIL at life, so there.

Not quite sure how this version of Total Eclipse of the Heart got onto my playlist, but it's there. It, obviously, is making me want to get a hold of Footloose and watch it. Maybe dance, too. Yes, I know that song wasn't on it, Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler was. It's close enough of a connection for me.

Modest Mouse always reminds me of Talking Heads. That's all I have to say 'bout that.

Now, Violent Femmes actually triggered a Clarissa Explains It All flashback for me. Wasn't there an episode where she'd defending her decision to listen to Violent Femmes to her parents? I believe her argument consisted that the Violent Femmes were neither violent nor femmes. Something like that, you'll have to refresh my memory if that's not correct. Yes, I do ♥ Melissa Joan Hart, if you were curious.

• 13:39 @rachelstyle That was in Basement Jaxx's video for Where's Your Head At, wasn't it? Cousin was in the 70's Invasion of the Body Snatchers #
• 13:42 @chrispirillo Isn't that John Cutter's motto/mantra? #
• 14:26 @gnatty Sweet! #
• 14:29 has had a lazy Sunday so far. Looking forward to another day off tomorrow. WOO! Back to Never Say Never Again (saw it in the theater too) #
• 17:59 twitpic.com/1ih7c - is not at all royal #
• 23:08 wonders if Provolone can be considered a pretentious cheese. Figured that term would be more for say, brie? I need more gastronomy knowledge #
• 23:39 @phdbre Oh wow, that is TOTALLY me! Yeah. #
• 23:48 @phdbre I have to admit, I consider myself very blessed. My faith is definitely a progress in the works. This reminds me of Contact (film) #

• 09:40 @ecstacy Yup. Darren Aronofsky. He was once going to do a Batman: Year One treatment (I think), but that fell through. Nolan did awesome! #
• 09:41 @dustin_j Wow. I definitely would have felt a bit uncomfortable. Still, plans are on for to see the movie tonight. #
• 09:42 @LindseySchaal I LOL a little bit when I hear some of the kids at school saying, "Get OVER HERE!" They flip out when I get the reference. #
• 09:43 @Gamerette About four weeks, tops. I like being able to create groups and such. It appeals to the micro-micro manager in me, for sure. #
• 10:01 has a new Friday Seven #FR7 up. Take a gander, then do one yourself. It's fun. Won't you? servermonkey.livejournal.com/561198.html #
• 10:40 @JerryBroughton I miss that our local stations no longer run Voyager late at night. Perhaps it's a good thing, so I can sleep. #
• 10:47 @NinjaChad Zombie Island? It was a pretty quick read. I enjoyed the second one, but did not get into the third one too much. #
• 11:00 @kevinrose I only WISH I could get my mom and stepdad to use a PC of any sort. If I mentioned #Firefox, they'd probably think Clint Eastwood #
• 11:04 @Mia Don't forget about the many hamsters at JoeCartoon--if that site's still around. #
• 12:31 @JerryBroughton I am VERY hopeful that it will be good--otherwise, it will literally be the final nail in the coffin for the franchise, no? #
• 12:36 @LindseySchaal Wow. I don't recall that commercial. I'm a bit saddened by that. Will have to search for it. #
• 13:37 @JerryBroughton Oh yeah, I was all SQUEE when I saw the newest one. The teaser was awesome too. #
• 14:14 @TeachaKidd MMMM! Five Guys! They are in quite a few places though, I think. #
• 14:49 @LindseySchaal It must have REALLY liked you. #
• 16:35 is shopping at Polka Dots. Well, Rachel is shopping and I'm bearing witness. Up next, sushi! Don't forget about #Dollhouse tonight! #
• 21:10 equals FAIL. Had excellent sushi, but Rachel wasn't feeling well, so we didn't make it to Shopaholic. I would have gone quite willingly, too #
• 21:11 @TeachaKidd The only reason I happened to know about them is through my sister-in-law who took us a couple of years ago. :) It was good too! #
• 21:12 @Gamerette Mess with it. Lots. You will like. Well, I think you will anyway. #
• 21:13 @LindseySchaal Thank you for the linkage. I get a feeling I won't be able to watch the show tonight. :( Maybe I'll jump in later though. #

• 22:42 @Gamerette Oh, that's funny! You'll hit Universal West, I'll hit it East. It'll be like a rap rivalry, but different. #
• 22:54 @Gamerette One day, my fam and I will get to the West Coast. I should time travel like in LOST. Then my residents will get nosebleeds #
• 23:03 @Buzzine That's not embarrassing. Our household anxiously awaits its return. #
• 23:55 @mrskutcher D'oh! Always the LAST to know. Oh well. #
• 01:04 is up much too late. I was almost asleep and now here I sit. Wide awake. Will try going back into a sleep state. 'Night! #

The Police - Synchronicity II
Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out
Black Flag - Jealous Again
Tori Amos - Virginia
Hall & Oates - Did It In a Minute
Jamiroquai - Canned Heat
R.E.M. - Just a Touch

Somewhere, my poor vinyl copy of The Police's Synchronicity is gathering dust. I wish someone else is getting some sort of enjoyment out of it, but the reality of it is that it's either in my mother's storage area (affectionately renamed the Cave) or in a landfill. The latter option would sadden me, though.

My music player seems to have a bit of a sense of humor throwing Stevie Wonder and Jamiroquai into my Friday Seven.

Somewhere, Henry Rollins (and probably Greg Ginn) is probably twitching since his music is being played and then followed by Hall & Oates. I do, however, want to listen to Method of Modern Love now. I have had the most difficult time locating Black Flag's live Who's Got the 10^1/2? on CD. I was close once, but didn't buy it. My stepfather always said his favorite albums were the live ones, but I disagreed for quite a while. Then I listened the Who's Got the 10^1/2? and got a bit of what he was saying. Easily one of my favorite live albums while I was in middle/high school.

Lastly, I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: I will NEVER forgive myself for not buying the R.E.M. bootleg I found in Blue Note Records YEARS ago. At the time, fifty dollars seemed like a lot of cash to shell out. I was wrong. Yeah, I said it, I was wrong. The newer live release of theirs is okay, but I really wanted that old collection. Bummer.

EDIT - I didn't even mention Tori. Virginia's not one of my favorite songs of hers, or one I even know well. I've lost count how many times I've seen Tori live. At least five or so. Only one time did her show disappoint me, but it may have been that I didn't like the venue. It was at the UCF arena, I think. Sorry about that, UCF.

• 09:55 @ecstacy I can't even put into words how excited I am...I wonder who they'll tour with. #
• 09:56 @gnatty Really? They would move out? Wow...sadness. #
• 09:59 cannot believe he was falling asleep at the keyboard while #Heroes was on last night and that he didn't even get through Medium. Lightweight #
• 10:01 @mrskutcher One IS the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Actually, I always find myself glancing at the clock at 12:34 and 8:08. Odd... #
• 10:03 @wilw Remember: Knowing is half the battle! I always wondered what made up the other half, though. #
• 10:05 @sarahlane Somewhere, someone said Bentley's were a poor man's Rolls. That said, I'd still be glad to take one or two of 'em. Yeah. #

• 21:37 @Mia I'm sure that could be found easily! #
• 21:44 @gnatty Weird, my wife cleaned the back porch while I was working tonight. #
• 21:45 @phdbre Yeah, definitely a hated feeling to be sure. It's no consolation thinking that one is trying to be the better person and all either. #
• 21:53 @ProfTim Say what, say whut? Hey, where should I send you that Paramore stuff--if you're still interested? #
• 21:54 @ifcnews That's similar to one of my fifth graders telling me I'm not cool enough to listen to #Paramore--despite that being sort of true #
• 22:16 is quietly trying to warn #Fergie that there are some crazed soldiers out there, but she just won't listen #
• 23:53 @BrentSpiner It's a Timothy Hutton show on TNT. I hear they know drama. #

• 19:05 has picked up as many Tiny Titans issues as possible. Abby saw an issue and showed interest, so I went to Coliseum of Comics. Yea Comics! #
• 19:10 @LindseySchaal Me too. That song spoke to me on so many levels last summer. Seeing it performed would be amazing. #
• 19:11 @levarburton Awesome! #
• 20:01 @gnatty Which community? Did you get some cool neighbors or items? #
• 21:18 @majornelson Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. #
