randomly snarky

Long time no see.

Shout out to the jackass spammers for the 915 mostly-junk comments I just flipped through. MovableType loves throwing the good stuff in with the bad, so I have to sift through them all.

HBO just did a coming-up-next promo via my DVR for Never Been Kissed (yes, I recorded this) and said it stars Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson. But Luke Wilson isn't in the movie.

My wireless network didn't work tonight (well, this morning) and it took me 30 minutes to discover I'd turned off the radio on my laptop. I didn't know that particular button even existed, and probably has for every wire-enabled laptop I've ever owned or used. Mildly disturbing.

We did a lot of touring today, all pretty close to home. I'm crushing on Colorado.

So, hello.

It takes all kinds of critters to make ‘em.

One favorite childhood memory is more random than most: A group of friends and I snuck into the movies with borrowed older siblings to watch Motel Hell. Likely one of the campiest and crappiest horror movies ever made, it featured crazies cooking-up unsuspecting travelers as sausage. As a kid, the best part was how the victims were kept buried in the garden all veggie-like to be fed in preparation. I also loved the old guy riding a rickety bicycle around town yelling “we’re doomed, we’re doomed.”

Most of us hadn’t even hit our teens yet, so the movie was likely far more adult and interesting to us than the producers ever intended. But the fun memories of the night certainly stuck - which may have included my first cigarette, by the way.

A neat side effect of moving are the random memories generated by packing/unpacking. Not sure what exactly sparked this one, probably a combination of the move and the crap I’ve had playing in the background from FEARnet.

The house closing came and went without a hitch. Not bad considering the financial woes all around us. The 1,650 mile drive across the country was blissfully uneventful and the weather was good. i-70 through Kansas was fucking endless.

The movers came today - a couple of hours late - and the furniture looks great in the house. Power, gas, and phone are all set.

The only real flub in my careful orchestration was by the cable company - the installer showed but some of his equipment wasn't working. Cable boxes, that is. So we get another visit tomorrow between 1-5pm. I managed not to implode when things didn't go exactly as planned.

By this time tomorrow we'll be fully moved in and out of the latest hotel. Amen!
