The RNC has been particularly humorous watching the vicious lying right-wing bastards.The VP choice of Sarah Palin has been particularly hysterical.

OK, I haven't been blogging in a very, very long time.
I miss it.
I will do more.
New Year's Resolution: Blog more. Go back to the way I used to be; blogging nearly every day.
I'm sure I have stuff to tell.
I'm off to think about what that might be! And then.... hopefully write about it.

In short, it is wonderful. Simply wonderful.
Let me try to break it down for you...
First impressions: When you pop in this game, you will see a minute-long theme-song animation.

I had to make it real now that I have awoken. I have embellished a couple things, but 96.2% of it appeared in my sleep! My brain is an odd place.

I have always loved the Grand Theft Auto series of games. Even the first two editions, which were fairly simple graphically, but engaging and funny.
After an incredible amount of anticipation, finally the newest chapter has been released!

It's been weeks since I've posted anything. And the event described actually happened last week... but it's a story I've told a bunch of times, and want to remember, so I figured I'd give some folks something to read...
At about 4:15 am, I heard some pounding noises outside my bedroom window. It's kind of a scary thing to wake up to something like that.

Am I the only one who is COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT by the old dude in the new Six Flags commercials?!?
I always thought he was kind of freaky for some reason, but he has apparently even crept into my subconscious. I had a dream last night that a bunch of friends and I were on that Six Flags bus that he drives in the commercials.

MUSIC FROM SPACE!!
This weekend, I picked up a Sirius satellite radio system. It is the most awesome thing ever. I think it is tremendous.
New Jersey, at least where I am, has a dearth of radio stations. It's either pop or classic rock, and it just gets tired after a while. And there's not even any good talk radio (Air America on 1190 AM comes in Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08917408073074208078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292103.post-1089208304426123832004-07-07T09:51:00.000-04:002004-07-07T09:54:19.493-04:00ACK.
The picture below shows exactly what you don't want to see in the wine glass as you finish the wine.
I was enjoying a nice glass of Merlot, and tossing back the last swig, and as I was tipping the empty glass back down, I saw, curled up against the side, a BIG HAIRY SPIDER.
He was HAIRY.
I still have the shivers. Yeeps.

I have needed an entertainment center, of sorts, for a while. My DVDs were just sitting in a line across the ground in front of the TV. My video and stereo components were just stacked on each other. I looked for a pre-made one, but couldn't find one that matched my needs.
SO, I did some planning, and went to Home Depot (which I HATE), and bought seven 1"x4"s.
