We watched BSG Razor the other night. I liked it. I hate those damned Pegasusians (of which Jon probably loves... to spite me). I wish I had watched it months ago before season 3 though. I didn't notice ANY Season 3 spoilers, and the story definitely fits better between 2 and 3. anyway... not bad. i wish every episode was that revealing and grand on the action scale.

We watched 'The Amazing Screw-On Head' tonight. It was pretty great. I wish it were more than a pilot, but as mignolia said, thats all he wanted to do and probably couldnt top it... so i'll just be happy with what i've seen.

been watching Venture Bros season two again... great.

Fotini's family came over for lunch today. Her papu is in town. Andrew KICKED 'Space Ship's ASSSSSS. He got like 7 million points or something. holy smokes. Then later tonight Fotini straight up boned the ass out of Whirlwind. Over 10 million... w.... t.... f....

i blame my vicodin for my pisspoor showing.

also, puma and ramey got in a sick ass dogfight. puma has never fought back before, so usually i just pull ramey off of her and she runs off and the problem is diffused. today however... i grabbed rameys collar and it snapped off. so she went nuts on puma, and puma went nuts right back. well... my left arm got in the way of pumas mouth and she bit the hell out of it. its still as swollen and hurts.

puma got the worst of it though. ramey bit her neck drawing blood. she bit her front paw drawing blood on the top and bottom of the paw. she bit the PISS out of her back foot... drawing blood all over the joint.

so puma is JACKED. when she stands up, she falls right back down. its opposite front and back paws that hurt, so she cant stand. its pretty sad. i hope its ok. if its not kosher in a day or so, i'll take her in. she doesnt cry when she does have to step on it, or when we touch it, so i dont think its broken, just hurt. poor kid.

you know you're getting old when you have tickets to see one of your favorite bands in concert, and you would rather stay home playing Wii.

That said... I went anyway... and saw Wilco tonight. Neil got us some badass seats in the eighth row... naturally, there was one empty seat next to us until the SECOND Wilco hit the stage, and then it was occupied by a grossly overweight, drunk, piece of shit, who yelled and did that two-in-the-stink whistling thing FIVE TIMES A SONG... until the 12th song or so, then he only did it twice a song. thank heaven for little girls.

That's right... 27 songs... sheeeeesh...

My hetero-man-crush Glenn Kotche needs a haircut. He looks like a Silverchair second stringer.

Overall, they played a lot more of the songs of theirs that I don't much like than the last show I saw. (that setlist can be found here) The highlights were easily 'Impossible Germany' (still one of my favorite solos ever), 'Company in my Back' and 'Casino Queen'. I was SHOCKED that they played even one song from 'A.M.'. I was hoping to hear 'Theologians', as that was the song they did last time that finally got me into 'A Ghost is Born', but no dice. Either way, they were great, as usual, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun up there.

and yes, i had to google the lyrics to about 5 of those because i wasnt sure of the exact song titles... and that woody guthrie crap never really won me over.

It was nice to see Neil and Micah again. I hardly ever see them anymore. We had a good dinner at Saggios, ran into some BIG NAME CELEBRITIES (Dick Knifing anyone? Larry Barker much?), and I got to breathe garlic breath into Neils face all night. That was nice.

I made a post-show dash to the merch table... bad move. They should have a line for just people who know what they want and are paying with cash. Instead, they have a mob of people who need to see every shirt in every size and are paying with a credit card, or trying to borrow money from their friend, who is standing with their back to the table just out side of earshot. I stood there with my exact change for what felt like ages.

Also... I played the Austin Powers pinball table in the SUB game room. It was going well, I earned a free game, but then my second ball got stuck in the toilet (literally). So i went to the attendant to see if he could reset it, but he said it did the same thing yesterday and gave me my money back. Oh well. The backglass was so bright it made a huge glare on the upper playfield anyway.

What should be an interesting and exciting video (a tour of a pinball machine factory) is apparently created in the spirit of a 'Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!' skit. That is to say... horrible.

Imagine my surprise... the new Nintendo Channel is actually pretty neat! It ranks a lot of games and gives geeky stats about them, you can download DS demos and it has videos of most wii, ds and most importantly, virtual console games. now i dont have to guess what the hell crazy japanese VC games are... i can watch a video of them.

very cool... although the download is MASSIVE.

i didnt remember her until recently, but as a kid, i had the hots for the female Pinbot.

we watched 'Teeth' tonight. its everything you'd expect a movie about vagina dentada to be. that is to say... pretty decent.
