Coffka Revisited
A couple months ago, in one of my early posts, I mentioned that a friend of mine had made a film and encouraged everyone to keep an eye out for it. While doing a google search, which is what I do when I’m bored and can’t think of anything to do, I stumbled upon the imdb page on the film. From here you can read the stats and watch the whole movie for free. Check it out.

I didn’t think it was possible for my tumblarity to drop to zero, but it did. It can’t go into negative numbers can it?

Ten Golden Oldies
I’ve finished posting all the songs on Ten Golden Oldies. The album came about because a friend of mine asked me, “If you could rerecord ten of your old songs what would they be?” At the time I didn’t really have an answer, but after thinking about it for a few days I settled on these ten songs. Some of them are songs I never liked much, but other people did, and there are...

There Goes That
In a previous post I mentioned that I would be reviewing Avatar. Well, today was going to be the day I went to see it, but the IMAX 3D version was sold out and since that’s the only version I’m willing to pay to see, you’ll just have to wait a little longer to read the review. I’m hoping to see it by this time next week though so check back.

Belated Christmas Concluded
Made it back with my Christmas goodies. Here’s what I got this year:
Some cash (much needed)
A nice folding chair I’ll probably never use (although it is now the nicest piece of furniture I own.)
A towel.
Various canned goods.
Bugles (the snack).
Thermal paste.
Granola bars.
And ham.
This is the reason I hate Christmas.

Happy New Years and Whatnot
Didn’t do much this New Years. Last night I went to the bar with some people from work. Pretty much sucked like always (for some reason I can never enjoy myself), but I only paid for one $1 beer and got about seven more for free. Tonight I went over to the bar after work (this bar was run by my coworkers) and they hooked me up with two Newcastles and two rum and cokes for free so over all I...
