slick knee slapping monday fun

Jeff — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:49:05 +0000

on saturday night, the pretty girl and i went out to dinner with some of her friends from work and our funny was in top form. if you’re a couple in need of a good double-date, then you should really keep us in mind. we dont disappoint. i mean we dont put out or anything, but we’re really good at keeping you laughing w/ our witty banter and all.

after dinner we couples went our separate ways, because you should always keep people wanting more.

meanwhile, the pretty girl and i went home and watched “dan in real life” b/c hanre said it was so good that she actually bought it on dvd. i was digging it a lot until i saw that dane cook had a supporting role; i held my breath for a few minutes waiting for the movie to get shitty, but dane’ character was just enough of a tool for dane to pull it off. big stretch much? as for the rest of the cast they were perfect and the dad was played by the guy who played frasier’s dad. i kept waiting to see eddie the dog hop on the couch and for niles to say something self-depricating.

in other news, my buddy josh is in utah shooting photos and teaching courses w/ the DLWS crew. after that he’s heading to orlando for photoshop world. yeah, his life sucks.

i think to celebrate photoshop world, i’m going to photoshop my head on all sorts of historical figures b/c i’ve been learning a lot from lonnie.

monday ftw.

netflix breeds indecision

so i’m back in the netflix fold because i’m tired of being an outcast…AND…because Netflix now offers up unlimited online DVD viewing. even though i’m currently stuck watching dvds on my computer, being able to watch the past 5 seasons of law and order SVU (starring ms. mariska hargitay!) makes it worth it.

i digg this photo b/c the security guard totally got caught checking out mariska’s ass. word.

today my first bucket-load of dvds arrived and i need to choose what to watch tonight. i have the following options:

1.) Sunken Treasure: Jeff Tweedy Live in the Pacific Northwest
2.) Inland Empire by David Lynch
3.) The Lives of Others

help interweb! help!

grindhouse

so last week i decided to never rent from blockbuster again b/c they are ruthless-capitalist-pigs.also they say i owe them $80 but that fact is simply coincidental.i also cancelled my netflix membership b/c paying $18 a month for the same 3 lousy movies is a waste.feeling my inner-hipster, i decided to shop the last locally-owned video store in (what seems like) all of SoCal. so now i’m a card carrying member of “Superstar Video”. They’ve got roughly 6 copies of the new releases and charge $3 for 3 days rental. oh and if you bring the movie back in 24hrs you get a $1 off. This means that for roughly $2 i can watch whatever the hell i want.also they seem to have every ‘girls gone wild’ dvd ever…this is also purely coincidental.this weekend i watched the grindhouse movies and they were BAD ASS. the entire “gridnhouse” experience was all encompassing and i felt like i was sitting in a shitty late-70s movie theatre watching a B-movie.also rose mcgowan is wickedly hot…i would so hook up w/ her if i could get over the fact that she did god-knows-what w/ marilyn manson.
