Chronicles of the world's slowest eater...

10:22pm: Well hot damn.

Welcome to history.

6:20pm: Because it's a day for anonymous messages...

3:56pm: I just saw the Neo-futurist's show "The Fool Returns to His Chair" last night (which I'm doing some of the pre-show performances for). And I have to say that it is by far the darkest (literally), and most twisted Neo-futurist show that I've yet seen!

Basically, it's a cross between a David Lynch film, and a Warner Brothers cartoon.
But non-linear.
And with a lot less dialogue.

Totally high on the visuals, the body movements, the sounds, and the music.
Extra high on the use of milk crates.
Like - REALLY extra high.

If that's the type of thing that excites you, you should totally check it out!
It's running Thursday (pay what you like night!), Friday and Saturday ($15 a head) at 8:00 until September 29.

If you go this weekend at all (or any Friday in the future) you'll probably even get to see me in all my foolish glory, before the show even begins!

(Or is it?)

7:14pm: Another Spin Night!
Howdy folks -

Once again, I send out the reminder and request that ya'll think about coming on out to Spin for the monthly industrial night!

Spin is on the corner of Belmont and Halsted (door on Halsted).
Cover is $5.
I spin in the danceable back room from 10 until 1:30.

Due to some recent excitement, my backup DJ Sprite cannot make it this evening. However, a flip of the coin says that DJ Lick-me-I'm-Delicious will be filling in for him. Crazy good times shall ensue!

And remember! First one of you that I see there, gets a free drink!!

6:01pm: Circus Freakus! (AKA Gremlin Bash)
Well folks, tonights the night, and this is your official reminder.

Bring Yourselves and all various forms of (non)talent to

THE NO-TALENT show!
At Spot 6 (1 and 1/2 block north of Belmont on Clark)
TONIGHT - Sunday, May 6.

Doors at 7:00 - Show at 8:00!

See you then!

11:47pm: More info on the NO-Talent show tomorrow, but for now

Mark your weekend calendars for a night of dancing!

This SATURDAY, the 12th of May
I'll be Spinning at Spin (on the corner of Belmont and Halsted) for the monthly FISHTANK.

Come on out, and dance, and run amok, and play (Angela, bring your hoola-hoop!). With any luck, this week I'll even be allowed to leave the DJ booth for more than 30 seconds!

First two friends of mine that I spot on the dance floor get a free drink!

Door is $5, and I'll be spinning from 10 until 2:30.

Yay!

12:16am: Well kids, it would be ever so keen if people might think about coming out for spell on Saturday night. I'll be DJing at Spin on Halsted and Belmont from 10:00 to 2:30ish, and would really love to see some people shake their rumps. Yes, I said rumps.

Also, despite the fact that I'm in the booth up in the lofty heavens, if I see you, I promise to rain some toys down upon your heads. Light toys of course, because I still want to see you dance.

11:48pm: Late night guessing game...
Alright, here's a new one!

Which one of the folks on my friends list made the following quote?

"I'm just sitting over here...with no brains."

2:29pm: Once upon a time, a splendid lad by the name of misterentropy bought me a paid LJ account. And this allows me to pursue some extra data for the conversation he and I had during our first inter-work space phone conversation.

Without further adieu... a poll.

Poll #550795 Socks: Yay? or Nay?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 78

Can you sleep with socks on?

Can a person you are sleeping next to sleep with their socks on?

When having sex, can you wear socks?

Can the person you are having sex with wear socks during sex?

10:50am: Ooooh! Polls are fun!
Poll #531617 project_mercy made me do it!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 49

For those who answered "Yes" to yesterdays poll - WHY do you have to sleep with a blanket/sheet? (Check all that apply)

Feel free to add your own reason!

For those who answered "NO" to yesterdays poll - Check all that apply

Anything uncovered (no pun intended)?

*My apologies to any of you that had originally stated that you liked blankets, but didn't need them, as there was NO PLACE FOR YOU in this poll. But feel free to add your 20 cents in the comments, and maybe I'll find a reason to put you all under the microscope next round :)

10:05am: Okay, deladejavoo and I need to find out who is in the minority here (mostly, because I find this discussion truly fascinating... much like most conversations that deal with human behaviour). So yes, please discuss your answers :)

P.S. I'm feeling to stupid to figure out how to alter the text of the poll without an excessive amount of work, so let's go ahead and acknowledge that blanket = Blanket/sheet/fabric covering.
Poll #530900 To continue on a discussion from last night...
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 73

Do you have to sleep with a blanket covering you at night (even when it's hot)?

11:25am: When did I become squeamish?
I was reaching for something in my bag, when a large bug made a dash acrossed the top and into my belongings. Naturally, I jumped, as I wasn't expecting this (my boss asked me if I was okay, stating that I looked like I'd been electrically shocked).

Then came the knowledge that I would somehow have to escort this leggy beast OUT of my bag... And that's when I began to realize that I was having serious muscle tension and jitters. I took out a few things, and then put the bag on it's side and began to jiggle it around, until Mr. Ugly skittered out and acrossed the floor. To which I had an involuntary shudder, and dropped my grip on the bag.

What the hell? Am I loosing my edge? I'm not going to say that I always love bugs - but they've never wigged me out in such an obvious way before. (I mean, I'm writing this about 30 minutes later, and I'm shuddering as I remember the experience... What gives?).

11:42pm: For the record...
Thera-flu sucks ass.

11:50am: This is really only for a few of you, but....
"You all everybody..."

10:16am: MISSING

Have You Seen This Pumpkin???

This pumpkin was last seen as it was set out in front of Gremlin's house at about 5:45 on October 31. It was seated between a pumpkin that looked like Spawn, and a pumpkin that represented the Eye or Sauron. It was less than 24 hours old, and new to the world. Approximately 45 minutes after Mr. Pirate Pumpkin was placed outside (behind a gate - not locked) it was noticed that one of the pumpkins was missing. Upon further inspection, It was noted that it was Mr. PirateP that had disappeared, although the Spawn Pumpkin had replaced it's spot in the row. Could fowl play be afoot? We don't know. We've interogated Spawn Pumpkin endlessly, but he refuses to answer our questions (possibly because he has no mouth... and then he went missing days later himself). Anyone with information as to the where abouts of this pumpkin should add a comment immediately. Thank you for your help in this matter.

2:52pm: Putting up some setlists at last...
I finally got some past setlists typed up.

Feel free to give them a looksee! (and then be sure to come out to Nocturna's 16th anniversary shin dig next Tuesday :)

I’ve got this new habit. I grab memes from my friends’ live journals, fill them out, and then never post them. Am I the only one that does this?

2:52pm: I kick ass for the Loohhwd!

You are a Dead Alive Zombie. You or somebody that
bit you was infected by the Sumatran Rat
Monkey. You are intent on killing and shredding
anything that moves, unless you're full of
tranquilizers. You can't be killed unless you
are completely chopped to bits.


What kind of Zombie are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

1:59pm: Okay, I guess it should be said sooner than later – but I really really really want to thank everyone who came out to Kinetic last Friday. I had a SERIOUS blast. I got to see so many people that I hadn’t seen in a while, and I got to drink a bit, and I got to dance a LOT, and even more – I got a chance to spin at a night I helped create! WOOO! Such a rush :)

And the gaggle who went out to Clarke’s afterwards was also fantastic. Such a perfect evening (and signal1101 even let me drive home afterwards. Hehehe. (Look, ma! I didn’t run any stop signs!).

The Next one is scheduled for April 2. (Now with fabulous colored lights!) I hope to see you all out again :)

( Now you can check out our setlists )

4:46pm: Good stuff this Friday!
