I love pork pressed into rib shape...

So Tuesday night is McDonald's night for Liam and I. And what was I greeted with last night??? Yep, it's the McRib Farewell Tour 3. YES!!! I love that sandwich. I'm sure it probably goes straight to my heart like some pork bullet but it's a pork bullet of love.

Van Halen, Jump and technology

What happens when Van Halen goes to perform their last number, the number one selling 'Jump', and the playback is accidentally sped up? I know, I know, I know, the curiousity must be killing you. Let's go to the tape... might want to put on safety goggles for this train wreck...


Mine goes to 11...

The studio went well and we got a lot of recording done. I also simulated what happens to an adult when he drinks lots of beer and eats 10 gummy bears that are really vitamins for kids. I made it through. Although I have super senses now and microwaves make me forget who I am. Wait, there's some milk in the frig about to go bad.... and there it goes. I'll get some pics up shortly.

I stayed up at Kathryn and Chuck's farm and nothing beats waking up at 5:30am with kids running around a house, Willie Nelson blasting through the family room and someone playing a stand-up bass. Really, I'm serious, nothing beats that... except more sleep maybe.

It's studio time...

Going in the studio this weekend with Kathryn. I brought my camera to capture all those typical studio moments of fear, laughter, tears - just like a Journey video. Tired on a bus heading out to the next gig, the life of a rock star, so hard, missing loved ones... "Faithfully... I'm still yours..."

Steve Vai is very funny....

Whoever did this video deserves a beer. This is hilarious and dead on. Even down to the audience noise. SFW and freakin funny. I wish I were this creative... and rich... and had the power to bleed out of my eyes and kill people (damn Heroes plot)

Getting through the day

So if there's one thing I've realized in all my time on this planet - you can never have too many chainsaws on a haunted hayride and you can never have too much Iron Maiden. You know how they say George Bush just flips his computer around and points to solitaire on his screen when he gets bored at meetings and wants to stop? I just flip my laptop around and play an Iron Maiden video. Solitaire, well that just makes you look like a pansy. An Iron Maiden video?? People run away from me thinking that I may just starting throwing things and spitting on them.

I sent this from my blackberry

Wow, we can't cure aids and keep people from buying hummers that get 10 gallons to the mile but I can post to my blog from a mobile phone... I love america.

Hello, goodbye and mary poppins

Hello blog spot, goodbye myspace, facebook and all those other trendy websites that lure 30 somethings into the world of 15 year old adolescent verbiage like ttyl and bff. And forget those cell phone commercials where they make moms and dads look crazy because they can't navigate their way through this made up language built purely on being lazy. Those commercials should be like, "Hey, quit the stupid acronyms and go do your homework or I'll beat the crap out of your bff with my h-a-n-d-s. (enter fading Verizon logo).

Liam saw mary poppins this weekend and actually made it through the whole movie. I was impressed. Particularly because the cell phone of the 3 year old in front of us kept going off during the movie and distracting the surrounding 4 rows. I forgot how skinny matlock used to be and how psychedelic the penquins were. Jane and Michael are just plain annoying. Ah, the young Julie Andrews. Mrs. Banks is kind of attractive in a creepy way until you realize she was in 'The Ref' and played Kevin Spacey's mom. Ewwwwwww... that's just disturbing.
