Kaki King
For all you Blue Man Group fans out there, go check out Kaki King. We just got back from a concert of hers at Little Brother's in Columbus. She's amazing on the guitar. A complete one woman show. I met Kaki for the first time on a trip to China when we were 15, we aways joked how she would be some famous musician in a few years, but I doubt anyone ever realized what she would be doing with the guitar. Her style of playing makes her incredible. Her hands fly all over the guitar, spending almost entire songs with both hands on the neck. I can go on and on.. hehe oh, the tie to The Blue Man group? When she's home in New York, she plays with them. :) Oh, and she has a Sidekick too! :)

necessary URLs: kakiking.com and KakiKing MP3s. Note that while the mp3s are great, nothing compares to the live performance! Go check her out.

Ok, its been a long time since I posted, so here I am. Hehe still hanging in columbus, getting ready to move to a new and bigger place. Time to get the hell out of this one bedroom. Figured i'd take a few pics and then realized how many cat items there are now in my apt. These are all a result of the gf. Hehe even that real white one. Annabelle, our 22-toed cat, is her doing. :) Luckily I like cats. Hell, we'll even be getting another one after we move. Dads bringing up my cat, the one we took in almost 6 years ago. :) anyways, back to talking with friends who are discovering the joys of the hiptop. :)

P.S. If you haven't seen Boondock Saints, go rent it. Saw it for the first time this weekend and loved it. :)

I want one
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayAll these pics with the new cameras make me want one! But (un)fortunately all my extra "fun" money is going towards a digital video camera and a trip to myrtle beach next month. So be prepared for a bunch of thumbnail pics from the myrtle beaches and bars. Those of us with the lesser cameras aren't going to get shunned, are we? :)

Hiptop checklist
You Know Your Addicted to Your HipTop when you:

Take a picture from the car (while driving). Take a picture of your desk at work (hey, everyone else should have to see what you have to look at all day!) Surf the web from the bathroom. Surf the web on the hiptop while sitting at a desk with a perfectly good computer and an internet connection. Master the one handed open and close. Get directions off the net while on the road. Download a cheesy song for the ringtone. Brag to your friends about how cool it is. Take a picture of something on tv. IM every single person on my buddy list just to let them know that you could. Document your morning commute. Have at least one hiptop unexpectedly die, and be replaced. Get on Best Buy's website to see if they carry a movie (while in the store). Think of Hiptop Nation whenever you see a lobster. Try to beam something to the IR port because there might be the slim chance that your hiptop is different and actually does something with the IR. Occasionally pray for the G to show up. Try to get aim2irc working. Try to load a porn site (only to be horribly disappointed). Actually use the "flahlight" for a real purpose (Jump Menu+F). Check your bank balance while on the way to the ATM. Download the developer's kit with hopes that you'll do something, but never do. Help decide where someone is going to college. Use the hiptop so long that you develop a thumb cramp so bad that you have to finally set it down. Sit at your normal keyboard and have the desire to type with your thumbs. Rejoice when tmobile announces an unlimited MB plan. Lust after a color screen, and keep expecting it to be available in a few weeks (cause that's what a tmobile rep said). Actually talk to 3 or 4 people on the phone. -----

These are my symptoms, anyone got any to add?

Honda repairs
So I drove up to the Honda service center, check book in hand, expecting to pay a pretty penny. But only 10 minutes and $6 later I was on my way with a ratle free car. :) yaaayy.. Now I just get to save up $365 for the 105,000 mile maintenance. :P

Ok, so I spent my Monday night watching movies. First it was The Transporter, an excellent movie that was a lot of fun to watch. But then we watched Shark Attack 3, the world's worst Bmovie. This movie is so bad it kept me laughing the whole way through. It was chockful of stock footage of sharks, some of the world's worst CGI, and horrible dialogue. The only saving grace, as is with most b-movies was the gratuitous.. Oh you know what I'm talking about. Oh, and one cannot forget the best line, delivered with complete sincerity, "What d'ya say I take you home and eat your p***y?" Absolutely jaw-dropping. Anyways, here's some snapshots to share. This movie would make a great drinking game, just drink whenever you see either stock footage, boat controls, or a butt shot.

Honda troubles

Well, based on the word of Bull (a guy at work) it looks/sounds like the noises coming from the crv are from a loose heat shield on the catalytic converter. (sounds like I know what I'm talking about, eh?) So hopefully that's all the problem is. I'm still going to take it in for service asap.

A boring saturday night
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any waythis picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any way


So I was real mean to my car. I forgot about those handy little gifts called oil changes. Now my crv is making some interesting noises. I gave her a good dose of oil and they've almost gone away. I decided I better not push things and just let things be until I can get it in for some service/repair on Monday. So, since getting to work on monday is more important, I'm stuck at home on a saturday night with nothing to do but watch tv, burn cds, play vice city, and make faces at the webcam. Although, my copy of the Animatrix dvd came in, so I may watch that again. Hope you other mobloggers are having a better even than me. :) hmm maybe I'll start caling friends and see who wants to come pick me up. Heheh

CSK this, CSK that
Stupid CSK, almost made me late for work today.. I definitely want one, especially with the higher res camera. Oh yeah, and that color stuff might be nice. I'll actually be able to decipher the weather maps. :)
