- It’s St Patrick’s Day and that means I’m eating a shamrock cookie for lunch and wearing my green shoes. #

on sunday, i met up with the fam in “the oc” and it was rad.
my sister made green-spice-cake-cupcakes in honor of st. patrick’s day, and so tonight i’m celebrating w/ Mr. Jack and these green-vegan-delights.
also, i brought the camera and shot these photos of brandon, because he’s new enough to the family that i can stick a giant lens in his face and he wont say anything about it. (i trust this will last for no less than 6months or so.) i told him i was going to make him look like a male-model and so i gave him the “american eagle filter” treatment. sorry ladies, he’s taken.
welcome to the family!
so i was going to get in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit by playing some Irish folk-songs…but iTunes only has JustinTimberlake and teeny-bopper tunes to offer. somehow, my music library doesnt include any dropkick murphy’s OR flogging molly. this blows.
i do, however, have 3 search results for “danny boy”…one’s an instrumental version by clapton, one’s by johnny cash (not as cool as it sounds) and some track by rufus wainwright. again, this blows.
i had this conversation w/ stonebraker earlier today:
onelonelysuccess: are u wearing green?
stonebraker: no, I’m a brit
onelonelysuccess: oh…ok
stonebraker: I decided today that I don’t give a fuck about St. Patricks day
onelonelysuccess: really? but it’s a drinking holiday! if you like to drink then it’s your holiday too
stonebraker: yeah I know but I can drink everyday
onelonelysuccess: yeah but EVERYONE is drinking TODAY and that makes it special
stonebraker:I guess I’m a SPD scrooge
onelonelysuccess: yeah this reminds me of you on vday
onelonelysuccess: and halloween
onelonelysuccess: and new years
onelonelysuccess: and cinco de mayo
onelonelysuccess: and fourth of july
onelonelysuccess: so what holidays DO you like?
stonebraker: christmas
onelonelysuccess: yeah, baby jesus rawks
stonebraker: I don’t like show off holidays
stonebraker: like halloween
onelonelysuccess: that’s b/c you’re off-putting
stonebraker: people are all “but we can get together are party”
stonebraker: if you need a reason to party your life sucks IMO
onelonelysuccess: damn
onelonelysuccess: then my life sucks
ten minutes later, stonebraker was headed to the irish pub to celebrate…or so he says.
ok so stonebraker just pointed me to this youtube video titled “what’s your favorite curse word?” and it has all these celebrities giving their…well…favorite curse word.
it lasts 1min and 14secs and is the greatest video i have ever seen. (it’s even better than that obama ‘yes we can’ video).
so what’s your favorite “bad word”?
- @Scobleizer i think "SemiPro" is a solid choice. #
- Crazy cold rain is falling in socal…story at 11. #
- if you open a bottle of baileys and then dont refrigerate it, can you still drink it like 6months later? #
- Congrats to the Revision3 crowd for being acquired by C|Net. Here’s hoping R3 keeps it’s indie spirit. #
- ok so wait, the CNet buying Revision3 thing was just a rumor? damn you internets! #
- so who’s on SNL this week? #
- @ambermacarthur damn…is snl worth staying in for? #
- ya know what hasnt held up very well? anything by Oasis #
in general, i judge the success/failure of my saturdays by how clean i can get my flat.
that being said, when i walk into my bathroom and have to “squint” b/c of all the shiny-light bouncing off of one-to-many mirrors, i know that i’ve done a good-fuck-job.
tonight i need sunglasses to go #1…as for #2…i’m not even going to TRY it until tomorrow.
it was a good day.
so last night i was sleeping quite soundly—that is, until buster decided that the paper boy was an intruder intent on ridding the world of yours truly.
(sure, it’s annoying now, but when a creepy axe-murderer actually tries some shit buster will give ‘em hell.)
i fell back asleep around 6am and for the next 3hrs had a crazy dream.
not to get into the details, but it involved me back in my jesus-church-days, yet fully-alive and aware in my present form. i was hanging out with this girl that i really liked, complete with her typical assortment of characters. at some point, it became clear to me that i was going to be in a church play and that i had procrastinated learning my lines and was in a panic as “showtime” approached.
the best part of this scenario is that i was playing jesus. my costume included a flowing white robe, blue-jesus-sash and wig that could have passed for john lennon. as i rushed around backstage, my mom kept asking me if i knew my lines.
i kept trying to explain to her that even though i hadnt learned a single line from the play, that i could totally wing the jesus-stuff and no one would be the wiser.
the only dream-metaphor missing was my teeth falling out or suddenly having the ability to fly.
this is the LAST time i eat cold pizza for breakfast and then try to go back to sleep.
so i finished up w/ some lab stuff and decided to waste the rest of my saturday afternoon writing up photoshop actions. here’s one i’m kind of liking…basically, it takes a photo and adds the gallery matte and title, etc.
hmmm.
- just finished listening to the entire "in utero" album…for the kids, nirvana was a band from the early 90s. they were pretty good. #
- time for some "no doubt" b/c i like mixing shit up. #
- what’s up w/ all the itunes/american idol love? #
- Happy Pi Day everyone! http://www.piday.org #
so i decided to play around w/ the blog’s header image. doing so was born out of boredom more than desire.
the current image is from a photo i took of the church/school i went to as a kid.
during the winter break, i went back there, took some pictures and had a talk w/ myself b/c god wasnt answering her phone.
usually, i dont get into editing/filtering my shots; however, the 100 or so photos i took at the church are the exception. they have become photoshop’s bitch.
no photoshop filter is too much and destroying them w/ pixels is quite therapeutic.
the header’s image is a shot of the church’s placard hazed over with a sickly green mask and a nice film grain. hopefully using the bold, extra-large-super-size-me “onelonelysuccess” font to hide it was an obvious choice.
pretty sure that this is a transient thing, so enjoy it while you will…in fact, instead of blogging maybe i’ll just throw a new header image up now and again.
we’ll see. astronaut jones OUT!
one of buster’s favorite activities is to hop up on my lap and keep watch of the neighborhood through the living room window.
needless to say, no one dares trespass or loiter around my building.
this is the greatest thing i’ve read all day, courtesy of Kevin Carrigan.
According to IMDB, Cory Matthews was in all 158 episodes of Boy Meets World.
Shawn Hunter was only in 157.
Can you guess which episode he wasn’t in?
It was the one when Cory needed him most.
so i borrowed a canon speedlight 420ex, and since buster is the only person who will consider living with me, he was my test subject.
