Five Alive
On a recent trip to Pick n’ Save I rediscovered Five Alive, the delicious citrus drink. I didn’t know they still made this stuff. If you’re unfamiliar with what i’m talking about, do yourself a favor and pick up a carton sometime soon. It’s like the best orange juice you’ve ever had, but five times better....July 27, 2004
iTunes and Rachael Yamagata
I few months ago Bryan introduced me to iTunes. I will be forever grateful. This morning I was thinking about going to buy Rachael Yamagata’s Happenstance at lunch. Instead, I bought it off of iTunes and I have it right now. The music is piano pop that is somewhere inbetween Tori Amos and Norah Jones. It’s very good....July 26, 2004
Sutton Impact
Ward Sutton’s Sutton Impact cartoons in the Village Voice are really smart and funny. If you register with the website, they’ll update you when new ones are posted. This week’s cartoon: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0430/sutton.php...July 22, 2004
Showing Some Restraint
Les and I went to lunch at Jalapeno Loco. The waiter came over to us as we sat down. “Pitcher on the rocks?”, he asked. Work is busy these days, so we politely declined. About five seconds after the waiter left us, a different man about twenty feet away, standing behind the bar shouted “Hey!”. We looked over. He...July 20, 2004
I, Robot
Going into see this I was cautiously optimistic. It’s a Will Smith action movie. Not that I have anything against Will Smith. He’s another actor who is usually playing a variation of himself in every movie. I think Will Smith, the action star either works really well or not at all. It’s always hit or miss. The first Men...July 20, 2004 6:20 PM | 3 Comments
Beastie Boys
My favorite recent song lyric comes from “Hey F*?# You” off of the new Beastie Boys disc, To the 5 Boroughs”. “So put a quarter in your ass, because you just played yourself” very funny....July 19, 2004
Busy Days
The past week was really busy at work. I’ve been a bit swamped lately, so i’ve pulled a Buchs with my web log. I apologize. Last week Wednesday was my birthday. Thanks to everyone for making it special. It was a memorable 25th birthday....July 15, 2004
Tony
This is my boss, Tony, an all-around great guy. In the picture above he is explaining how big his brain is. Anyway, today is his birthday. He’s currently vacationing with his lovely wife and beautiful kids. If you’d like to wish him a happy, happy birthday, email him at abmco@sbcglobal.net....July 12, 2004
Sandal Shopping
I was in dire need of new sandals, so my sister and I went sandal shopping over the weekend. I forgot the number one rule of shoe shopping, always wear socks. I understand the viewpoint of the shoe store clerks, they don’t want sweaty, smelly feet stinking up their new shoes. Although my feet were neither sweaty, nor smelly,...July 7, 2004
Vaginal Holocaust?
I found this on Billboard.com: The Flaming Lips have hit the studio with producer Dave Fridmann to record material for their next Warner Bros. album. According to the group’s official Web site, the songs “Space Bible” and “Mr. Ambulance Driver” have already been completed. The Lips plan to return to Fridmann’s Tarbox Road studio at least once more before a...July 6, 2004
Telemarketers
In an attempt to keep the mood light here at work, every now and then we’ll take a small break. One of my favorite breaktime activities involves telemarketers. There is a company that calls us multiple times every week, trying to sell us a postage machine. We don’t need a postage meter. The first twenty times that this company called,...That guy in the Great America commercials
I’m sure everyone has seen this guy by now. At first, he amused me, now, he’s really starting to bother me. When you stop and think about it, he’s a pretty creepy looking character. If you haven’t seen the commercials, click here...July 1, 2004
Badly Drawn Boy
I look forward to picking up the new Badly Drawn Boy disc. His website says that it’s out already in England. The US release is July 27th. His previous albums, The Hour of the Bewilderbeast, About a Boy and Have You Fed the Fish are all really good. I found a link on his site to the first single, Year...Mothly Archives
