A NIGHT ON DIVISIDERO

A show at The Independent. I like this venue.

Myself and 2 friends saw:
-4-One-Phonics: Which ended up being 2-Sloppy-DJs-and-Funk-Band.
-Willow the Gas Lamp Killer: The most bobbleheaded passionate DJ I've ever seen.
-Crown City Rockers: Always a reliable source of fun and entertainment...Kat010 hot on the keys.
-Shotgun Wedding Quintet: Like a high school jazz band headlined by a Jim Breuer look-alike.

On the way home I nearly ran out of gas. I pulled off on Rengstorff to look for a station and came across a Valero that had all of its lights off - except for the pumps digital displays. I put my card in. It asked for my Zip - good sign. I select the grade - 91. I pull the trigger and $0.10 of gas pumps into my car and no more. Yay for about 0.028 gallons. Luckily there was a shell another mile down the road that was open. Otherwise, screwdage.

OBSERVATIONS ON A LAZY SUNDAY

-There is a "Merlion" statue just erected in a Cupertino strip mall. After some research I'm guessing that the establishment is Singaporean. Driving down Stevens Creek and seeing this caught me off-guard.

-Along the same stretch of road...a bumper sticker on a minivan that read "My other car is a stagecoach." Now, really? Well my other car is a chariot! Beat that!

-"Bear" Grylls is a God among men. I just watched an episode of Man Vs. Wild - Everglades and he has pushes all of the limits that the Croc Hunter established. Basically think of this show like the Croc Hunter, except instead of just toying with the animals, the host hunts them down with a knife and eats them! That carpenter ant larvae looked appetizing.

TIDBITS OF I-VENTFULNESS

-I started a new position at work this month. I now have a cubicle with a window and a pet cactus behind my mass of computer monitors. As they say at McDonald's: I'm Loving It!

-I've been able to cook at home due to prior mentioned item. I made some pretty decent Ma-poh Tofu the other day.

-I had a relaxing weekend in Ventura with my parents. Got to see a George Thorogood & The Destroyers show at an Indian casino and hung out at the pier and hotel where Little Miss Sunshine was filmed.

-I got to drive my dad's new Honda S2000, "Red", during the weekend! I'm insanely jealous and want one too.

-I have been taking pictures with my new Nikon D-80. Got some of birds and random things on the Ventura pier. Will be shown when I can determine whether I have any bandwidth left on Flickr.

-I leveled my Lineage character to 53 and added another STR stat. Direct foolish words to the comments section, please.
