Best of Christopher Walken on SNL

18May04

I just noticed that a “Best of Christopher Walken” compilation will be showing on Saturday Night Live this weekend (May 22, 2004). Get those PVR’s and Tivo’s fired-up, kids.
Here’s hoping they show one of the first skits (maybe even the first.. don’t know for sure) of “The Continental” from the early 90’s.. [...]

Supercars Are The Hotness

17May04

Yesterday I went to my friend E’s for her graduation from her first round of many years of schooling as she’s working towards being a doctor. One of her friends who owns an AMG Benz was there (I wish for the life of me I knew what the model was), and we got to [...]

Wow.. Be Careful Out There

14May04

I was curious what an old friend that I used to work with (I worked with him doing the tech support for HP for a subcontractor of theirs when I was going to UNC) was up to these days since I hadn’t talked to him in quite a long time which was a little strange, [...]

Wendover Texas Hold ‘Em

11May04

During my trip home from California (see previous post), I spent my first evening in Wendover Utah / West Wendover Nevada. Essentially Wendover is a small town on the border of Utah and Nevada which has several large casinos, and is also pretty close to the Bonneville Salt Flats. This ended-up being [...]

Back In The 80031

11May04

I’m finally back. Doesn’t it always feel a little strange to be home after having a completely different life for a couple of days?
Overall, everything went really well. I flew out to Sacramento on an 8:40 AM flight on Saturday, May 8th which arrived there at a bit after 10 AM, and got [...]

Truckstops Are Strange

09May04

After “enjoying” a greasy truck stop burger garnished with a bunch of cigarette smoke and background conversations featuring such phrases as “gawl dang” and “sumbitch”, I found this little internet station which was $5 for 30 minutes, so what the heck. I’m currently in Rawlins, WY where I will be staying for the evening. [...]

Thank Goodness: Friends Is Over!

07May04

The NBC sitcom Friends has finally gone away. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they have anything decent to replace it with, unless a “Joey” spin off is your bag.
Also this year, Frasier, and Drew Carey will be going away. I used to watch Drew, but I think it was rebroadcasted way too much, [...]

Abandoned & Little Known Airfields

07May04

I’ve pretty much always been into the planes and jets. Not so much anymore, but they still interest me. I think this website with a whole lot of abandoned airfields is pretty interesting.

So You Want to Ride a Motorcycle?

05May04

With both the nice Spring weather, and the ever increasing price of gas, it seems like I’m starting to get a lot of queries about how to go about getting a motorcycle license, what bike to purchase, etc. Given that, I thought I’d put up a little post for aspiring motorcycle riders, slightly biased [...]

Black Eyed Peas Punk Punk’d

05May04

Opinions aside of their last piece of crap album, Elephunk, I think the Black Eyed Peas paid the cast of Punk’d a well deserved ass beating.
