his isn’t a new site to me, in fact my mom has submitted some photos to them. But I think those who haven’t seen it might get a little kick out of it. www.catsinsinks.com
You see, it’s not so much the cats sitting in sinks, as it is the expressions on the cats faces. Here’s a pic I found and edited to express the cat’s thoughts…
f you happen to be in the market for a vacuum, you might come across this new brand VAX, specifically at Best Buy. This is a great looking vacuum which claims to have almost double the sucking power of Dyson and a lifetime warranty on it’s HEPA filter. It has a lot of convenient doo-dads including a spill-proof container with a bottom that pops open to release the dirt/dust when and where you want it…. and really should be marked as one of the best vacuums out there… and it’s half the price of a Dyson…
Unfortunatly, there’s a big batch of defects that went out and I happened to get one. The people at Best Buy said they returned at least 4 or 5 others just that week. (One of the first weeks the item was in stock.)
So I got a Bissell instead. It doesn’t look as stylish, probably isn’t as powerful, and doesn’t have a spill-proof dirt container, making for a dirty job when emptying a full container… but it was $100 cheaper and it does the job.
I obviously didn’t win that karaoke contest. Lou Tilly was the celebrity judge and it was a good time. I don’t have breasts, though, and ultimately I feel THIS is the reason I didn’t win. (It was all females in the top 3. One of whom simply didn’t deserve it.)
I am still working on the new website for that Allentown based company. I think I have the job but I’m not quite sure, yet. I am also going to start receiving freelance work from two different firms. One firm, www.boshadesign.com, is a local one who I am meeting with tomorrow morning. The other is quite a funny story. There’s a guy, John Valenzuela, who I think goes by the nickname of Coz or something… and he created this design firm in Arizona. He called it Coz Creative, Inc. He wrote me a long time ago with a friendly “hello from one Coz to another.” and recently wrote me again with the same thing, adding that he liked how my website has improved, and telling me if I ever need his services, to contact him. I explained that I’m the one out of work and the question should be “if MY services can be of help to YOU, John, please let me know.” Lo and behold he replied telling me he could definitely pass along some work to me. So that will be happening soon, too.
So, cool. But it won’t pay the bills. I do, however, have 2 renters living in here who will begin paying me Oct. 1st. That will help.
I won this on eBay. It’s stupid of me to waste such money, but I’ve wanted one of these official Zippo displays for, like, almost 10 years now. So good for me!
You can’t tell exactly how thrilled I am to be announcing on this page the news that Tally Hall is almost done their full-length, wonky debut album, Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum, and will be releasing it on October 24th. It’s going to be amazing. I guarantee it! I can’t wait.
And remember Fiona’s album comes out on October 4th. Listen to the entire album on her MySpace page. Good month in music.
I see all around me:
If only we could learn to spell “uncensored” the right way, the first time, we’d be able to view a lifetime of words that’s reached a mute point. Because we still watch you; standing under your umbrella, soaking wet. We we always see the pain in your eyes and acknowledge its reminders on a sketchpad. We’ll know you’re fine without even asking, because that’s your programmed response… and you know not how to speak uncensored truth. We’ll watch you wake up immured inside your own misguided and tenebrous mind. And we’ll drown in your ignorant ways as you disregard your pretty half to save yourself some guilt and blood from a second-hand broken-heart.
They’re venial sins, but you’ll get what you ask for.

Back in reality, I still need a job. Help?

his Friday at McCoys. Karaoke Contest. I was able to sneak into the final round! Apparently I was kind of on reserve as a finalist because I didnt make it to the semifinals and it sounded like at least one of the finalists wouldnt be able to make it out Friday. So I’m in… and I can only recruit Candy to come out and give me some crowd reaction. She’s practically a mute, so her yelling will do little-to-no good.
I’d appreciate any support from any who can make it out!
McCoys Pub — Chadds Ford, PA (Formerly Kevin’s of Chadds Ford)
Contest starts at 9pm! It’s free, of course, and you’re bound to see
some great singers and supposed “celebrity judges” !!!
See my hand-drawn map:

The other night I came across something I thought I’d never see again. I thought I lost it a long, long time ago. I was simply trying to organize my new hard drives, preparing for another crash which may or may not ever happen. And sitting there in a lonely, dusty old directory, were all these archives of AIM conversations. The hacked version of AIM I had at the time automatically did it. Among them were the very first conversations that Lee Anne and I had. I was elated to find them and it was so good to sink into that comforting wave again — even for an hour. So grand, it was, to re-live that moment of pure exhileration as you converse with someone you know is changing your life forever as you speak to them. I learned change occurs so quickly. Leaves can change colors in minutes. And surprises can be good pizza.
So there’s that. At least I have that.
