OH SNAPS! Although I will not be getting payed I will not be working tomorrow leaving me with ultimate drinkage for this evening. I also will not be working (unpaid) the following Monday. Nothing like two unpaid days off to wrench my check book.
Anyways my brokeness will not stop me from enjoying my Bon Jovi Friday. I have bourbon and my couch and my girlfriend (getting her work on!) and I began painting! Life is good, at least I will keep telling myself that all day today.
So I open my inbox and all I can do is sit a little pissed off at my screen and say doooooooooooood. It was a pre-order for this absurd vinyl madness (Shikaruna Dorol) that I wish I could afford (Damn you Xty!!..j/k..seriously tho…hhaha..no) I’ve seen em around on the message boards and stuff but I haven’t even been lurking that much so I’m some what out of the loop. I just know this thing is pretty rad and I wish I could get in on this pre-order action. Mo photos after the read more, courtesy lulubell toy bodega
Mishka, they got some goods for spring 09. I was looking forward to the lamour collab in full color but it does not appear to be available yet(?) I found these two items to be particularly awesome. First item is a keep watch shirt in a nice blue, that shit just pops real proper like. The second is a bad ass belt, it is quite pricey but a must have because it looks like my website.
So through some freak accident of the Cosmos my trusty knife that I bring everywhere with me lately fell between the couch cushions. Only it didn’t fall between two regular couch cushions, it actually fell in between the one next to the recliner. So it got stuck in the mechanism of the recliner and I had to go underneath the couch with the foot rest up and jab a larger knife at my pocket knife until it wiggled free and fell. Upon it falling I began looking under the couch but it was still not there? I again got under the couch only I really got deep in there this time and I realized there is cloth under the recliner and that cloth had my knife, it also had a nice pen, some change, an almond and what else? Holiest of all holy shit… MY MAPLE PLUGS!
It felt so good as I already admitted defeat and assumed I accidentally knocked them over into my trash since they were just gone. But alas they were in my couch and after a quickie wipe down are back in my ultra happy ear lobes. So yeah… maple plugs = happy lobes.
So for a while now the trash guys have not been taking our recycling and for about as long my girlfriend has been with out a job (but ironicly with a Master’s Degree) So rather than let the grumpy alley trolls that scavenge through my complex’s recyclables I decided I would keep all that crap in my house until I could no longer stand the site of it and go cash in. I haven’t actually recycled for cash since I was a Webelo and the little money I did collect went straight to McDonald’s I’m sure. I by the way was an amazingly good Boy Scout, I dressed sharp and believed every word of it until I noticed I was the only one. As I was saying though with my girlfriend being jobless the prospect of extra money for trash in my house seemed like a good trade off. To be honest I was hoping I would get enough to fund a Kool Keith ticket I got the shaft on because I had to pay rent and had only $19 in my checking account but at the same time I was ready to leave the spot with a $5.
So how did it go you say? It went okay I guess I got a “good for ghetto groceries at Pancho” or a “quick half tank of petro” $12.64. I gathered about 53 lbs of mixed glass (my Bourbon bottles are heavy as balls and Xty drinks so much American Ale you’d swear we won some lawsuit where Anheiser Busch paid us off in brew) Here’s a pic of the load that filled the trunk of my civic.
Please please please stop pasting into your WordPress and Drupal sites straight from MS Word without converting to plain text first! There is nothing I love more than going to see a clients sites in use only to be blown away by hideous font action that has nothing to do with my theme styling. I check out the code view and what do you know? Tons superfluous in-line MS Word styling.
Sometimes if I am not busy I actually go in and clean it all up. Leading to strange questions like “why do my fonts keep changing?” I take that opportunity to re-introduce them (sometimes for the third or fourth time) to the paste as plain text function in their WYSIWYG editor. I also encourage them to write directly into their CMS’ and save as drafts or keep them un-published until ready to go live rather than writing entries in word and just pasting them in.
So please help your site stay pretty and always press that paste as plain text button BEFORE you paste from MS Word. It is one extra click but don’t be lazy.
Today is my little brother’s birthday. Poor kid works 2-10pm all week so we have little to no time for celebrating. He works on the weekends too so we can’t even get a proper “fade” going in honor of his old hide. Sometimes he’s a turd head and a half but I love him like none other and I’d be miserable without my younger sibling who is twice my size. Life is crap my man but… out of the shit comes the flower. Have the best one you can, that’s how it goes you know? The older you get the less awesome x-mas and b-days get… until of course you have kids and then go all emo when you get your first b-day scribble from the little one. Anyways don’t let work get you down. I have a small gift and some death for later tonight 🙂
Well it seemed pointless at first but it’s kind of a good idea. I now have streaming audio player on album pages and am working on linking to the zip files. I also unearthed a few old ep’s that never made it out of my computer from around 2006 and added them to my imeem page.
So in the recent weeks I have somewhat re-gained my standard of living but my old lady has no job so I still have no spending money but I still do have the urge to spend money. So like hunting for toys I hold on as long as I can with my fist clenched tightly around a small undisclosed amount. When I find a deal that is just too good “I strike like deadly python” (in thick russian accent)
So here are two deals that had me sweating. First is swell.com, they’re offering 22% off with the promo code: TWITTER22. Obviously 22% off is no big whoop but I’ve been stalking a flannel on their site for a few weeks now and last week it was 16% off so I figured might as well jump on it.
Second one I’m fighting is Mishka‘s 75% off 2008 goods. They are clearing out the old to make room for the new and there are some deals to be had as well (assuming you slept on all the hot shit while it was still hot). My main focus will be these tacky snow washed jeans. They are usually $149 but are on for $37 and some change!!! Now that means one of two things either everybody slept (unlikely as the black ones sold okay) or these are really ugly in person. And while part of me wants to own $149 jeans the other part of me wants them to look awesome and worth every penny. These look so 80’s it kind of surpasses that trend-o surface level 80’s jock-age and heads into real life 80’s snow washed-ness. But for 40 clams I don’t think you could go too wrong, if anything cut em up and make them your “work” shorts for painting or hiking or whatever you goons do on your free time.
A friend sent me this link and it pretty much assured me I would have an awesome day today. This is so bad it reminds me of my old rappin’ days. Back when I lived at my parent’s house, had no job and had zero shame.
Lots of minor changes to the site over the weekend. I cleaned out even more extraneous css from my theme’s style sheet and I also pimped out my contact forms and my comment forms and their submit buttons. Sorry IE users your comment areas have ugly scroll bars waiting to scroll (it’s your fault for using a browser that’s dumb enough to do that)
In observance of Black History month I have made my El Creature lucha man an afro-american.
We lost a rad trio of rock and roll guys. They would be old and cooler than the rolling stones were they alive.
