Bumper(s)! I got the red/blue/black pack from Divinity as a gift since he & I share the same birthday, Jan 20th. I played around with all three and I'm undecided as to which color to try out first. I'm leaning towards the blue but the black looks pretty nice too.

Thanks Div!

"Push the Button" doesn't break any new ground, but it does provide an exciting, enjoyable, cohesive listening experience, and a good follow up to "Come With Us," although not quite as brilliant.

Opening track "Galvanize" sets the mood with a pounding rhythm backed by rapper Q-Tip and a bizarre Middle Eastern string sample. "The Boxer" features the Brothers' hooking up with Tim Burgess for the first time since "Life is Sweet" and the song is, indeed, very sweet. "Believe" is a throbbing seven-minute stunner that belongs on each and every dance floor.

Made an "I Love NY Pizza" run tonight, at a buck a slice you can't go wrong.

There was alot of car talk today from the regualrs of #Hiptop, from Div's $1250 for various maintenance, to Chu's $2600 for transmission/parts, and Ryp's $600'ish in tickets for things such as improper exhaust, I thought I'd add my collection if things (still) wrong with my ride.

I can't get the car inspected because I need to replace the side view mirror that got tore off in the hair storm. That will run me about $70 bucks, so I can add that to the $1200 I was quoted from the muffler place to fix my entire exhaust system that broke off and I also need some new brakes & rotors which will run me a couple of hundred.

Since family, employees, and apparently friends of SKinky Enterprises aren't allowed to play in Divinity's weekly Hiptop Hunt, especially when they're judging this weeks submissions. Even though we same the same birthday I was told "No" so I'll have to sit this one out but I so would have won with these pictures of this weeks item: A Laundromat.

The prize for winning this week is some red SK2 bumpers, so swing on over to Hiptop Hunt, check out the rules (first submitter gets 2 points and additionally you can get multiple points for multiple submissions of different laundrymats), and have some fun!

Couple weeks ago E & E packed up their stuff and drove 3000 miles form New York to Washington to start news jobs.

After they left, I helped E's brother with some last minute cleaning and the returning of items like the digital cable and cable modem boxes.

Turns out E's brother was supposed to drop off the keys to me so I could then bring them to the apartment complex offices. Either way I didn't get them until today when this envelope showed up in my mailbox.

Wrapping up the 20th with a shot of my Metro North ticket it speeds towards Poughkeepsie. Would have blogged more but the temperatures in NYC were just too much for my fingers and its a royal pain to try and type with ski gloves on.

Thanks to Jake and Carol for joining me @ TDS and Sammy's Noodle Bar & Grille.

I'm a Timex watch whore. I don't have 100 or them or anything, more like 5 different ones which are in various states of unusable (dead batteries, broken bands and scratched screen). Holly picked up this Timex Ironman (Model 53341) for me, because I'm always late for things.

Thanks!

Still messing around with the magnifier, working on getting the distance down between the camera and the object I'm taking a picture of.

Here are a few shots of my tickets to Nashville, TN.

Playing with my 3 lens magnifier while tossing some coats of liquid silicone on the leather.
