on pinball and arcades

I went to the new arcade on the southside today. I don’t know that it has a name other than the Josephine street arcade. It’s quite a bit nicer inside than one would give it credit for looking at it from the outside. There was a pretty good assortment of new and old games, pool…

The highly addictive interview meme…

As lifted from yannaboo. I will probably post again once sui66iy also sends me questions… Anyway, this is me: First the rules: If you want me to interview you–post a comment that simply says, “Interview me.” I’ll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of…

The Friday Five (remix)

Now usually I don’t do this… but go on head on break em off with a little preview of the remix. 1. What do you most want to be remembered for? When people ask me what I did with my life, I’ll say I hated L. L. and I carried a big knife. 2. What…

Ask Dr. Fizix!

This is mostly posted for jameel, but other people who are into physics (notably, beststephi and sk4p) may find it humorous as well. Or perhaps people who might be into wrestling or matial arts (like jeremiahblatz and ludimagist). In any case, its a fun read. Enjoy. [EDIT: The Figure 1 and Figure 2 diagrams alone…

todays bum checklist

Get out of bed Shower Eat Lunch Pay Bills Look for job work on EPIC comics submission So basically I’m halfway through my day… best slow down, I’d hate to overexert myself. Anyone want to play tennis later?

on the return of the karma tornado…

Apparently GMC is supposed to be issuing a recall on them this summer, but they haven’t yet. Only my windshield wipers don’t work now,…

rest in peace you pencil necked geeks

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention earlier. Classy Freddie Blassie died at 85, yesterday. Probably this means little to most people reading this (Unless you are a wrestling fan, or maybe an Andy Kaufmann fan), but it makes me sad. [EDIT:Blassie released his autobiography about a week ago. So it turns out it was rather…

Tennis today gone tomorrow…

Played tennis today with danitapgh. georgejas, max1975, beststephi and wooble. Proved my game superiority to Max by beating him with both Dana and George as my partner, thus enriching their lives by showing them what it was like to be on a winning team. Team Maverick. Geoff and Max then managed to squeak out a…

&*%@!*(@#(!!!!!

So I got my new power adaptor from Mac Outfitters. But now I am having the damn flickering screen problem again. Its intermittent this time. In fact it is working at the moment, but still its pretty damn annoying. It flakes out hard (screen flickering on and off) and then crashes. The smiting continues. Sigh……
