Goddamn I love Halloween. I love coming up with costumes and sitting down to sketch them out. I love trying to think of materials that would be good parts to the costume. I love trying to figure out where to buy the materials for parts. I love trying to figure out how to attach the parts. I eventually get around to the fact that the trombone is not a good thing to be for Halloween. Sure it would be cool, but it would be impossible to pull off. Them things are skinny and bent-up. Also impossible are the Hoover Dam costume (including a scaled Lake Mead), a ghost town and sadly, my favorite idea ever, an Iron Lung.
Going to a Halloween party that work is throwing this weekend. This is news because I finally work at a place that throws fuckin' parties. It's been years since the company I'm workin' at coughs up some cabbage for free booze, snacks and a DJ. Cool. A costume at this thing is stated on the invitation as mandatory.
So ... I got a costume and it is, as usual, TOP SECRET, but now that I got me a wife ... she knows. If you wanna know, hit her up for intel. I ain't sayin'.
Tonight - The Homestead.
Here's tonight's: Find the Reference!

Nothing to see here....

Rant crapped out. Sorry. I would have repaired it, but I figured that greasing my robot gears was probably a better option.
Tonight - Hemlock Tavern.
Pool. Peanuts. PBR. Feel the love.

The El Nino (redux)
10.2.2k6
There's a kitchen in the place I work and on the wall of the kitchen there's a TV that's ALWAYS on and someone's ALWAYS watching it. I don't get it. I only rediscovered TV after getting TiVo and wresting control over what I watched and when I watched it. That made the mind-numbing a bit better because it was mind-numbing on MY SCHEDULE.
I mention the TV in the kitchen because I walked by it and someone was watching a program. In the time it took me to walk by I heard an intriguing snippet: " ... many people visit our Flavor Graveyard to pay homage to discontinued flavors they once enjoyed."
I got to my desk and googled "flavor graveyard" and got this.
An interesting list of dead ice cream flavors. I applaud the B&J for attempting some of them. The idea of a virtual graveyard gave me an idea to list the dead places the TNSC used to go.
Off the top of my head:
(The) El Bobo
The Overflo
20 Tanks
Pow!
There's more but I gotta stop there. It's too hard. We had many good times at those joints. And now word comes down that C. Bobby Cook, owner/operator of the venerable Owl Tree (venue of all holiday/"secret" meetings) has passed. He was a classic. This robot can only hope that his estab. survives him.
Tonight - Rogue Ale House.
They're sponsoring a Short Film Festival and TNSC stalwart Brady Baltezore has a featured entry. Come on out and show your support!!

My Little Pony
10.1.2k6
I landed a job at a really big movie studio down here in LA and I'm pretty fired-up about it. You might have heard of it. It's called "DD." I like initials: ORD, MDW, PDX, dcb, CDJ, ttyl, and, of course (for Alan), FU.
The joint has been busy for many years, churning out Hollywood favs by the dozens. Perhaps you've heard of a few of them.
Transformers (2007) Can't wait! Movies about idiot cartoons are my fav! When ya think someone will make "Thundercats?" How 'bout "Galaxy Rangers?" "Underdog?"
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) Holding breath. Should be really good.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) The original scared the shit out of me. Christ ... when that gal blew up into a giant blueberry I went runnin' for my little bed. Dad was already "sleeping" in it so I spooned my brother.
Cinderella Man (2005) Saw it in the lobby waitin' for my interview.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) I had some pals who worked on this at The Orphanage. I demanded my money back from them.)
The Missing (2003) What's her name? That fairy queen? That spooky fairy queen from that long frikkin' movie with the midgets? She's hot.
The Italian Job (2003) Wasn't Ed Norton in this as a bad guy? Or was it Jerry Garcia? Tama, hep me on this.
Adaptation. (2002) Was this the one with David Duchovny and the aliens in Las Vegas?
A Beautiful Mind (2001) Jennifer Connelly is really cute in this and in The Hot Spot.
Vanilla Sky (2001) I used to like that grrrrl before she went for that boyband dope.
Red Planet (2000) I used to like Val before he went for that boyband dope.
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) Quality.
Fight Club (1999) Weird enough to be good.
What Dreams May Come (1998) OK, who DIDN'T win an Academy Award for this movie?
Titanic (1997) I wanted to shoot self.
The Fifth Element (1997) Wasn't ready for it the first time through. Now I got two words for ya: Mil la.
Tonight - The Knockout
3223 Missio St
San Francisco, CA 94110 (the OTHER side of Army/Ceasar Chavez)
Join the gang for "Bingotopia" starting at 7pm. Win fabulous prizes. Hear great surf music. Don't miss it!!!
