Hey y'all. I don't know if anyone is still awake, but I just wanted to say "Hey Hey Hey!". Just got back from a show starring The Thermals. They were pretty rad. We got drunk and danced, and made friends with some cool people.
That's one thing I didn't remember after being absent from indie rock shows for so long. The asshole quotient is zero, and pretty much everyone has a sense of humor. Good times.
Tell me what's up with you, if you ain't asleep already.
@Azian Zero Loves Jezebel: No one delivers Pizza? to Brooklyn? But a variety of places deliver Pizza to Northern Virginia at any hour of the night? Something seems wrong about this.
I know a sweet 24 hour thai place in the east village if you can get yourself there.
@vamusical: Whats it called. I've spent about 10 hours today and 6 the last 3 days there studying...
Yeah BK is shady like that..."Safety" reasons. Fuck that. If a Asian guy can walk back home at 12 AM in the hood, any dude can fucking deliver me a pizza.
@Azian Zero Loves Jezebel: Gaah, gonna have to ask the ex boyfriend about that. But it has Tom Ka Gai that is the best thing I have ever tasted. That could have been the pot talking though.
Did you hear about this horrendous new rule where if you have a fever, or if any of the 3 people near you get a fever they quarantine you for a WEEK?!?
@Azian Zero Loves Jezebel: Yep. I am doing everything in my power to avoid sickness before the trip. And if someone near me is coughing on the flight I will kick their ass.
@Shakey: Honestly, Im gonna go. But if I go alone, I'm gonna hike the whole island from north to south and hang out on the west side of it, because I've never been there.
If I get my friend to come, we may just hang out in Taipei a lot more. I'll hit you up with info regardless.
@Shakey: I think so. I'm honestly trying to balance how much time I want to spend there and whether to be responsible and go back to the real world. But the west side is very polynesian like. So I'm interested to see what that's like. Theres a Taiwanese movie called Cape No. 7 that has good cinematography of it and gives you a good idea what the area is like.
Other than the free boone's farm drinks (which were mostly handed out to chicks by a group of scantily clad chicks, weird), beers were $7 and cocktails were $9. Hence me sticking with Boone's Farm.
How does the situation you described differ from hell?
I went to a concert sponsored by Boone's Farm tonight. And by concert, I mean the U.S. Air Guitar Championships. Yeah it was fucking weird, but I got free strawberry-flavored drinks out of it.
@vamusical: better than paying 4.50 for corona. i really wish i was in a better state where i could have dropped the "i thought i left the stadium" line.
@RonArtestTableLeg: Other than the free boone's farm drinks (which were mostly handed out to chicks by a group of scantily clad chicks, weird), beers were $7 and cocktails were $9. Hence me sticking with Boone's Farm.
@vamusical: Yeah, aside from buying a bud light in one of those cool aluminum bottle with the phillies ws logo, i'm not buying beer at baseball games (or concerts if i ever go to one). Not worth it. When you're use to drinking shit beers paying a ton for a half decent one isn't ideal.
@RonArtestTableLeg: Beers at Caps games are $7.50, but at least I can blame that on the Wizards, who own the building and the concessions. Tonight was just the 9:30 club preying on drunk people.
@Azian Zero Loves Jezebel: She claims to be a Star Wars geek, but says her favorite film is Attack of the Clones? Guess she's not one of the smart pornstars.
@Saberhagendaaz: The trial went well. Evidence went in great, closings went well. We head back for verdict (bench trial) this coming Wednesday.
@Ailanthus-altissima: I don't completely buy into it, but I understand it. She's quite cute, and apparently smart and funny. Not "classically" voluptuous or anything, but I get why guys with a thing for "geeks" go gaga.
@Craig Eshericks Mustache: She's too monotone and forcedly quirky. I'm sure she's lovely in real life, but there is nothing appealing about her onscreen persona.
I wonder if people even remember Craig Kilborn? he was great on Sportscenter when I was like 16. He was good on the Daily Show, but then he left, and Stewart has been unbelievable. Then he was on after Letterman and was really average in my opinion. Ferguson has been way better since replacing him.
@Michael Dukakis loves Omir Santos: Conan is going to put me in the difficult position of choosing between him and Letterman. With Leno at 11:30, that was never a problem.
Of course, I probably haven't watched Conan in a year or so thanks to Craig Ferguson.

I believe Ferguson just ad libs the first 10-15 minutes of his show. Just starts talking and sees where it takes him.
