it's all gone

First up is so important that I've been counting down the minutes for weeks. That is? The end of this organic food that the guys bought me. Being the outdoors type myself, I'm all about the green movement. However, I refuse, I REFUSE to eat cardboard. Sorry folks. I'm not a saint. It wasn't only that this food was bad. It also had a quite awful effect on my body - it just couldn't handle this food. Long story short, my body wasn't functioning properly. Now that I'm on the Science Diet I'm hoping to start my way on the Recovery Train.


Jeff and Everette watched "It's All Gone Pete Tong" last night which was quite disturbing - at least from my perspective. It pretty much was about a DJ who parties so hard that he becomes deaf and how he overcomes it to become a sensational DJ.


This movie definitely was a stretch since there has been no scientific evidence up to this point that proves that partying has negative effects on your body. Have I actively sought out this information? No. But I also haven't sought out a unicorn and I'm pretty damn sure they don't exist either.


This honestly was the toughest unicorn I could find. Is there any other animal with a horn that has been so emasculated? I guess deer...........whatever. Moving on.

I guess the out of the ordinary news is that some guy named, Ty, is here for the weekend. I personally would have appreciated a little heads up that the casa would be serving four this weekend, and by a heads up I don't mean "walk in the door at midnight with a stranger in tow." And no I'm not bitter that he got to sleep on the couch that I'm still banned from. I mean why should I feel entitled to the third best sleeping position in the house? Maybe because I live here.

Oh! I forgot. On a serious note PLEASE keep your eyes open for this dangerous vermin. (Thanks videogum)

get a little momma love

I must admit, I'm beginning to open up to the possibility that Jason is the best Bachelor ever.

just give me da ball

Everyone wants to know what Barrack is gonna do in his first "100 Days"...What's Zooey doing in her new film "500 Days of Summer"? Check out the trailer, it looks pretty good.

And a new film "The Informers" based on a Bret Easton Ellis novel.

Sorry for spilling the trash boys. :)

Apparently, these are the kind of moments that are worthy of rewind in this household.

Nothing like a plate full of french fries (half regular and half sweet potato) and an unlimited supply of ketchup to finish the week strong.

Catan Final

Daniel - 10
Everette - 6
Jeff - 5

the inner human in all of us

Good news--Today I was able to keep pace with my own little personal challenge that, in an effort to stay informed, I would watch 8 straight hours of cable news 5 days a week. Did you hear Bradford's coming back?

Lately, in an effort to truly understand me, Daniel has been reading some silly book about how the brain works. And from what I can tell, it's teaching him some pretty strange methods of experimentation, because he is constantly pulling me near him, sitting me down and staring deep into my eyes. Eventually, he'll start whimpering and whispering things like, "I can see the person you have trapped inside you!"

And in other random news, I have been going through some recent pictures of mine, thought I'd share. Just a few faves layed over a track from my buddy, Animal.



That is so soothing to me...


Catan results:

Everette - 10
Daniel - 7
Jeff - 7



Dylan's Greatest Hits on vinyl and a little bit of Argentinian Cab struck just the right tone for the evening.

those thilly ole thettlers

Everette, Daniel, and Jeff love to play this board game "The Settlers of Catan".  It's a little hard to explain, but the basic premise is to build a community with a combination of settlements, cities, and roads.  The more you build, the more points you get.  First one to 10 points wins.

I never play, but I watch them and it's kind of silly how much they enjoy it.  Everette gets super competitive, Jeff is constantly referred to as a "weasel", and Daniel always ends up talking with a lisp...I know, ith weird.  Daniel won the first season with 9 wins, Jeff and Ev tied for second with 8 wins.  Season 2 has been the "Sophomore Slump" for Danny with only 1 win to Jeff and Ev's 5.

They always listen to cool music while playing.  Tonight it was the following:

Final Fantasy - "Spectrum, 14th Century"

Followed by Ghosts - "The Entire City was Silent"

Both really good albums.  Zach Condon of Beirut is on this Final Fantasy album.  If you like him, you'll dig this.  Followed by Ghosts is instrumental.  Experimental Rock, if you will.  

After the game Jeff and Danny had their post game meal.  Good ole "Jelly Toatht"

Final Score:

Jeff - 10

Ev - 9

Dan - 7

damnit.

Ever since Oklahoma lost in the BCS Championship last Thursday, there's been a strange vibe around the house. Yesterday evening they seemed to have pretty much gotten over the loss. So, now that we're back to normal I thought I'd take this time to start this.

Jeff and Everette flew to Miami last week to go to the BCS National Championship game between Oklahoma and Florida. Luckily, Daniel stayed here with me so I wasn't alone all weekend. Although, Daniel was so wrecked by the end of the football game that I, honestly took him for a walk to the beach. He was very insistent about running through the sand which was fun for awhile, but come on, dude. Take American Gladiators, put it on the beach at night, then splice that with an episode of Bum Fights and that's pretty much what I was looking at.

The guys are over the Oklahoma loss, but not completely. Whatever disappointment and anger they felt is still lingering and they're taking it out on me. Take this couch. (I'll insert the picture tomorrow.) Since Moment A, there has been no problem with the fact that I like to nap there and, sometimes, sleep there for the evening. First few months, quite honestly, I think it was the highlight of their day to see me on that thing. Now, all of the sudden, I'm trashing the couch and I need to stay off it.

So, I'm a bit confused by this, but, hey, I'm chill so I let it slide off my back. I decide to start focusing my rest time to a chair by the computer in the front entryway. It's a bit small but it's a comfortable chair nonetheless. This is an important time to mention that the total amount of sit time that this chair has logged in this house is under forty-five minutes, folks. This thing is collecting dust. No problem, right? Of course not. How could I forget, their team lost last weekend so that's somehow my cross to bear. So, I'm kicked off of another piece of furniture. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the courtesy.

"It's only two pieces of furniture," you say. Well, my friend, this is where the last chapter is read. It's ALL of the furniture. Every piece. "It can't be all of the furniture. You're overreacting," you say. Well, how would you react if you found coffee tables, laundry baskets, and trash cans strategically placed on each piece of furniture to prevent me from getting on one of them? Not too subtle are they?

I blame it on the holiday break. This is really their first week when they're getting their normal routine back in order. Hopefully, they can loosen the reins a little bit.
