VOTD: Tesla - Mario Bros
I am a fan of both Tesla and Mario Bros. and here we have twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils sparking over twelve feet of electrical current to the tune of the famous video game theme. This video was recorded at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon in Baraboo, Wisconsin. More information on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1O2jcfOylUBtw, Teslathon? I love the ring of that... it would certainly put a twist on the ole Jerry Lewis Telethon. Perhaps if they combined the two, there would be greater financial support to the kids in need.  While on the topic of "Fun", tonight is another performance of Boom Chick Boom: Peep This! The female comedy group will set the audience on a wild ride for an hour of hilarity! More information over here.7:30 Doors 8:00 Showtime Theatre Asylum6320 Santa Monica Blvd. (one block west of Vine) Los Angeles, CA 90038 There is street parking and Alan Fager & I will be running sound & lights for the show, so you may additionally laugh at us ;) If you can not attend this evening, the final performance of the two month run is next Tuesday, the 15th.

My new life plan is to fit as many tiny Colombianos in my pants as possible. In retrospect, I'm not sure what I was ever doing trying to establish a so-called 'normal' life. What a huge waste of time! Que aburrido! |

Engrish
One of my students used the word 'batterist'...meaning 'drummer'. Ha ha! I'd have thought he'd have gone for the obvious 'percussionist', which would have transgressed language lines, but no...he made a word that pretty much sounds like the kind of boyfriend you seriously want to avoid. Tomorrow my Italiano friend Marco comes to visit!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!  Marco is so awesome. He visited me in Spain and we hung out in Ireland twice together last year. I'm pretty sure he and the Chileno will sit around teaching each other disgusting phrases in their native languages and cracking each other up. I KNOW he'll love this hostel. I'm very excited!!! Peruvian: How old are you? Argentine: 26 Peruvian: You are like a child. Argentine: My ass! Me: Like a child's ass? Argentine: Sweet child of mine!!! |

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, NORTHERN HEMISPHERE- After at least seven minutes of agonizing anticipation, Everything Goes Cold will celebrate the painful and oozing release of their debut album, "vs. General Failure" with an unprecedented live performance of the entire album, featuring guest appearances and potentially unflattering headgear on Friday, December 11, at Berkeley's historic 924 Gilman St.- traditional home of the youngest, smelliest people you will ever see with liberty spikes. They will be joined by the Bay Area's Coldwave powerhouse Slave Unit, Crunch Pod Records' newest grumpy Industrial pound-fest Syndika:Zero, local boy-band-turned-Aggrotech-act Ascension EX, retired middle school librarians Marrow, and your unkempt, jobless uncle, wearing only one shoe. You'd better come get him, he's starting to creep out the neighbors.  For more Information go to: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=189568795069 |

Con tip the third.
I alwas have a few games that play quickly and require little or no set-up in my bag. Some are story games that are written that way, and some are con scenarios with pre-made characters. I also keep a few small card and board games that are quick and fun too. I do this because sometimes a slot falls apart for whatever reason and it's a good idea to have a backup plan. |

AMC's Prisioner
Hey AMC, thanks for thanks for destroying my favorite series of all time. You can take the Prisoner and shove it. I missed part 3&4. No need to see them now. If you haven't watched it yet, don't bother. |

the Morrissey show, turning points & the bathroom
 I rate the show a 4 out of 5. I would have liked it to have been longer, which I think it may have been if those thugs who stormed up to the front had been removed earlier. Also, paying a hundred dollars to be 30 rows back or more felt like a rip off, but thats not Morrissey's fault either really. Then after the show my friend took  this pic of me and some Scottish guy I stayed with 6 years ago  after that something changed for me actually, like some spell cast on me long ago now was further broken a few days later, on Friday night, that happened a little more, in another way  and even last night, another "thing" changed for me  one that at first made me angry  however, now I see how motivated it has made me today as I begin "Operation House Clean"  in which I have first broken the house down into parts I've mapped out, then even smaller ones within those followed by just cleaning 3/4 of the bathroom  only the shower part of the bathroom remains to be cleaned, which I will do tomorrow after I buy some stuff at Walgreens then I think it would pass an "inspection" hooah?!  ps: note to self, must make sure a certain someone meets my housemate, in the flesh, the next time they are over here  Current Mood:  hungryCurrent Music: Placebo - Post Blue |

The 2 Coziest Things I Know
1. Holing up in a pub with a fireplace and brick walls in small town Ireland for hours with a steaming pot of lamb stew and a Guinness during the crisp icy coolness of their winters, with gentle Irish music over the speakers... 2. Hanging out in a rickety south American hostel on well-worn cushions with a bunch of exhausted, generous, affectionate chefs when it's raining outside and everyone was up until 5 a.m. from the previous night's shenanigans. |

Before any of you bitch about Christmas shopping, consider shopping in a foreign country in the pouring rain for things you will have to drag to the English-lacking post office in a box you will have to somehow locate somewhere for folks who pretty much have everything anyway. Add in a profound hatred of shopping and a total lack of enthusiasm for religious holidays. Stir, simmer, serve and shut the heck up. . . . . . . Peruvian: Niki, I need you. Right now. Me: I need to go Christmas shopping. Right now. Peruvian: Stop capitalism. It is time to drink a beer. Me: It's 10 in the morning. |

Oh also, speaking of perverts, I am SO MAD AT TIGER WOODS AOIOODSGODSGJJ not really okay but shit, can we not have a bastion of sainthood? Is it that impossible? I seriously thought Tiger Woods was that bastion. He plays golf, he doles out worldly advice, he is always pictured with his mom...and yet...he's banging the entire populace behind his wife's back. Same old story. Seriously. It would be nice to be surprised just for once. |

El Chileno likes making me say dirty things in Spanish and then cracking up. He even says 'Say it with me!', all aggressive in my face, like some kind of demented perverse professor. WHO IS 12 YEARS OLD. Hence, I have discovered that the slang for 'vagina' here is 'concha'. I like this word better than any of our vaginal slang. |

Life in Virginia
I come home from work and my wife says "Baby, it is going to snow tomorrow, what do we do?"I looked at her and said "We die."Found out she wasn't exactly a fan of The Last Starfighter. |

Hella R
I taught a slang class the other day for WSI that was full of hilarity, whiteboard pictionary and pantomime. I've successfully gone from stage fright to stage whore, apparently. I suppose this is the first step in conquering my teeth-chattering aversion to Karaoke. Anyway, I taught them all kinds of fun things both regionally known and personal, as slang is decidedly unowned, like 'cheap date', 'drunk/butt dial', 'eye candy' and 'gold digger'. As a bonus, and as a promise I made to myself last year when I was but a fledgling teacher just spreading my new baby wings, I taught them hella. They also taught me their own version of 'hella', which is 'R' but pronounced 'Rey'. Yesterday a bunch of them came back for a complimentary class I was teaching and used hella in appropriate context and with perfect inflection. I'm so proud!!! People are paying me for this shit. Amazing. |
