molasses.com
man alive - sorry if anyone had trouble getting to my site over the past few hours... bloody slow, wasn't it?
i'm a bit of a web packrat i realize, much like outside of my server, and i had used up 409.8MB of my 410MB allotted me...
i've deleted a lot of unnecessary crap from my site (saved it of course - which will clog my machine here, but, i have to get some cd's to burn...) anyway, it seriously clogged the hell out of my site.
that said. must sleep. have to get up early to figure out what the hell i am wearing to the national art honor society reunion tomorrow night...
(did you forget to rabbit, rabbit this morning? then 'tibbar tibbar' before you sleep tonight!)
"less like a thunderclap"
by the way... why the hell can't other guys out there (namely those i date) have a revelation quite like benjamin wagner had tonight?
jeezuz. methinks i have to go out and buy a few copies of this Keane's 'Bend & Break' he speaks of and randomly hand them out to ex's that still have potential and those who have red hair... just in case it is actually a catalyst for the "revelation"...
otherwise, i have to start getting off my ass and carry around sushi & shampoo whilst standing outside Whole Foods nead 59th.
heh. yes, i am stalkeriffic.
wow, your mom's so sparkly!
after reading a post on katie's site... i was left thinking...
if your loved one made a decent salary, etc etc etc... would their gem be appraised higher than the others? if they were really heavyset, would they become 3karats? oh the questions...
hey, coop!
TAKE A RIDE WITH GIGGLECHICK IN THE MINI COOPER CONVERTIBLE FOR A $100 DONATION!!!!!****
anyone? anyone? i'll bathe and wear deodorant... i promise!

flashbacks to high school
had a fantastic time at the national art honor society/eichenger retirement shindig - seeing folks i haven't seen in years (some in 16 years!)
i have photos... (this is a short and sweet post since i have to go into a meeting in a minute or two... will label images later...)
ah...young 'un
history is in the future!
man... i am getting all teary eyed thinking about this saturday's belmont stakes..
i know... i know... it's a horse race... just a horse race...
WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!
this is not just a "horse race" ---- this is a shot at the TRIPLE CROWN!
i have been home during both the derby and the preakness, jumping up and down, freaking out, crying - yes. crying... over this horse...
what horse you say?
*sigh* come on... you don't mean to tell me you've come to my site unprepared do you?
does SMARTY JONES ring a bell!?
for those of you who've come to my site by googling "sporty jones", "jonesy the racehorse", "sparky jones", "fast horse jones smart".... well, thank you for wanting to know about Smarty Jones... it's SMARTY JONES!!!
anyway....
so, smarty is starting from post position #9... eh... i am a little nervous about it, but hey, his trainer - John Servis - doesn't seem to think twice about it:
"I am happy with the post," said trainer John Servis. "We can sit outside of horses and he doesn't have to worry about what is going on outside of him. He just has to worry about what is going on inside of him. He will be able to secure a position going into the first turn."
it's supposed to be muddy and rainy on saturday - but if you remember, the derby was slightly muddy
good luck to the chapmans!!!! good luck to john servis!!!! good luck to stewart elliot!!!! and a hearty good luck and Godspeed to Smarty Jones!!!!!
my buddy chris is heading to the track that day and i gave him $2 to bet on Smarty Jones to WIN... and i told him to bring the ticket back to my unscathed when SJ does win... not to cash it since it'll be a collector's item...
i am heading into nyc tomorrow night thru sunday and will be watching the race in a bar [Scruffy Duffy's: 743 Eighth Avenue (between 46th & 47th)]... and yes.... i KNOW that at some point - even without a pint in me - i will be crying after the race... GOOD TEARS... they have to be... smarty jones is going to bring home the Triple Crown....
he has to.
and it'll be a great date to win the Triple Crown... 06.05.04

the weekend...
think i am taking the 5:44pm train into the city (which'll get me in around twenty of 8)
then cath and i are heading to see harry potter... we'll hang with harry from 10:45pm on (got my tix on fandango...)
tomorrow is shrek2 and the race... and i have to help cathy figure out dreamweaver so she can update her site that i set up /designed for her...
trying to crank stuff out for work... and i have a doctor's appt in an hour...
speaking of fandango... the actual "Fandango" movie - which is one of my favourites - is on one of the hbo's right now

finale...
sopranos! i really liked this episode.... think there were only about 3 episodes that i cared for this season
good god.
hmmmmm.... well, then... it's all coming back to me now....
keep in mind folks that i probably had about 13 pints of beer and a lemon drop shot...
it ain't pretty.
we're walking through the port authority right now (after bowling - and i am looking disheveled...)
here are photos... go check 'em out... after bowling, i am not at my best...

the shoot
filming of the 5 minute average jane video happens today (hopefully) have to figure out a guideline of what i want to say - i have a few items...
the thing is, i am going to have to do one where i talk constantly for 5 min. and then one that i can edit hither and tither - or actually - one that this guy can edit since i am not fluent in final cut pro...
unfortunately, he was in the office last night, and might not be available this week... and the video/photos/etc are due on june 14th
last comic standing...2
okay... once again.... i am slightly bitter...
um... JIM NORTON?
i thought this was for comics that never have had comedy central specials or total exposure on colin quinn shows ...
i love jim, don't get me wrong... have yapped with him many a time and saw him each week at the laughing bean in red bank 10 years ago...
but those who have moved on to the semi-finals from new york...
i used to do the same bringer/amatuer shows as jessica kirson
have been in line-ups with sue costello, dc benny, eddie ifft, tim young & dan naturman *who haas already been on letterman)
that said....
i want Norton to win...
---------
average jane update:
i finished shooting the video - god, do you realize how hard it is to try and come across as natural and likeable and average after the 46th take!?
*sigh*
now i am having my video editor help me out on thursday night....

sincere form of flattery?
of course, watching letterman tonight, half asleep... i heard:
"We're playing Secada/Cicada tonight!" [kinda big 13mb .avi file - nothing spectacular... just showing letterman saying secada/cicada... missed getting video of the graphic]
well, that bloody well figures, doesn't it?
i mean, what? it's been 2 weeks since i posted my secada/cicada stuff on fark and then made the giggleschwag products with them on it...
slow in the morning
mother of pearl. my site is crazy slooooow today - i apologize... i've tried removing numerous videos to give the server a bit more memory, but something is screwy...
how much of a lag are y'all getting before my site pops into view? let me know! thanks!
**update**
my buddy johnny storm caught it, it was the blogtricks referrers link that was screwing everything up....
don't mess with this fella!
johnny storm sent me the link to the p-p-p-powerbook/ebay/escrow scammer getting scammed fiasco... gotta love this
i think i am smitten with the jeff fella after reading this
gipper
um. i am actually tearing up watching the reagan procession.
dutch
okay jeez... i am sitting here with tears streaming down my face... that was pretty moving... especially when mrs. reagan went up to the casket and smoothed out the flag and you could see her mouth "i love you"...
last comic... sort of sitting down
um... watching last comic standing... what the effing hell?
WILL DURST is in the semis?
eh... from his own site:
This five-time Emmy nominee and host/co-producer of the ongoing award winning PBS series "Livelyhood" is also a regular commentator on NPR and CNN, and has appeared on every comedy show featuring a brick wall including Letterman, Comedy Central, HBO and Showtime, receiving 7 consecutive nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand Up of the Year. Hobbies include the never-ending search for the perfect cheeseburger, while his heroes remain the same from when he was twelve: Thomas Jefferson and Bugs Bunny.
man. what an amatuer.
okay... i am going to calm down and see who they shove into the house...
and kathleen madigan... i have loved her set/schtick for about 8 years or so now... especially on the teevee specials that she's had...
lcs?
jay london makes the cut but eddie ifft doesn't!?

all of the guards are lined up on the one side, as are the pallbearers....
some guests @ the funeral
gorbachev, thatcher, prince charles, clinton, ford, carter, blair, bush 1 & 2...
and... um....
tommy lasorda?

um.... does this mean i have now transformed into a total republican?
....
okay george w i speaking now... and all i can think over and over in my head is:
"don't screw up. don't be a boob. don't say anything embarrassing"

farewell
so that whole ceremony was pretty dang moving. and yes. i cried
June 12, 2004
hey hey
hungover from too much wine with kerry last night...
have to get ready for a date tonight... calm down, it's a guy i went to high school with - he was (is) 2 years younger than me and i used to drive him to school... anyway... hadn't seen him in 16 years until the art honor society reunion gig a week ago.... we've been yapping on IM/phone all week and as it turns out.... yadda yadda yadda.... meeting for cocktails.
talk later...
June 13, 2004

had a really keen time.......
and yes.... that's all y'all are getting out of me right now
afternoon. folks.

going to the union landing patio bar... bring on the shrimp, clams & oysters, baby!
my friend flicka
sitting here at my machine and i looked up to see an odd flashing light... thinking it was an airplane (i live under a military flight pattern - which sometimes scares the bejeezuz out of me because i always think they're gonna come crashing into the condo...) but was odd, because i didn't hear the roar of it...
eh... well, it was a lightning bug hovering on my window and just flickering...
*sigh* summer is here (well, not officially til my birthday...)
June 14, 2004
by the way
eh... search
fess up. who searched for gigglechick lips?
odd thing about it, it says whoever searched has never been to my site before...

couldn't bloody well fall asleep til 2:30am... TWO FREAKING THIRTY... and now i have to leave for work in 6 minutes (eh. have to take shower and dress before then though... *sigh*)
*whew*
good day at work today - cranked out a ton of stuff, etc as well as a few other things... dead dog tired... got home about an hour or so ago... of course, as i was saving a number of items the power failed in the building... luckily i didn't lose anything.
June 16, 2004
sorta average
so i am totally geared up for the average jane casting gig on friday night.... got my videos... got my photos (they just came in through fed ex today) and got a good deal of stuff i can yap about if they turn the camera on me...
holy frig! jim norton got booted off lcs because of his contractual obligations... crap...
June 17, 2004
yep... you heard it... i got dooced
****update 10:19pm!!*** jeezuz - this is just a neverending saga isn't it?!?! :) thanks to eric for slapping a link to it up on his mirror site.... found here and also thanks to ari for doing the same!!!! here you go.... a couple of choices!!!
hey everyone - especially you folks coming here from boingboing! - for the time being i had to take the officespacewars movie down... forced to more like, because it was killing the tera-byte.com server... if anyone knows of a kickass movie compression program (free, preferrably) that i can download (for PC) i'd appreciate it and might be able to put it back up....
*** update 8:30pm 06.25.04 *** eh, it looks as if the officespacewars video link was changed to the frickin' fahrenheit 9/11 piece of drivel trailer. sorry, folks... i still have the original file, so email me and i will send it to you (as long as you promise not to link to it off your site... upload it to your server first. :) and i am going to limit the amount of folks i will give the link to... as i said, i have to play web bouncer and open the velvet ropes up less frequently... so if you email me, i may send it the following day -- i mean, i got dooced a week ago, so the cash isn't flowing in anymore so the $450 a day that i'll be charged for crazy bandwidth usage wouldn't be keen!!)
oh sweet baby jeezuz - i needed to see this...
