All Things Chill

I Read Samuel’s post. Got jealous. Shopped around just to see ‘what was out there’. Bought the Megaman NT Protoman & Megaman Warrior Deluxe 10 Inch Action Figure set. SCORE! Feels good. Material posessions replace spiritual voids. Danny has BAD ASS toys too. I get itchy all [...]

The new album, Demon Days drops May 24, 2005. I’ve seen the Feel Good Inc. Video and I must say that I’m still impressed with their ‘newness’ factor. They’re a cartoon band for goodness sakes! That’s so freakin’ COOL. And it doesn’t hurt to have the best producers/creative minds working on [...]

I’m not a sweets guy. I never crave sugar or chocolate… and I hardly ever bake pastries or towering cakes. I do eat dessert, but only with a strong cup of coffee after a wonderful main course. I would rather eat a good steak dinner TWICE than have dessert. But! that [...]

Wow. I was Flickr contact hopping this morning and I saw a picture of a crazy lookin’ bird and I freaked out. ‘WTF’ I muttered under my breath. Well… Its a Mandarin Duck!
The Philadelphia Zoo has some info on these birds:
Male Mandarin ducks are considered by many to be the most beautifully colored [...]

Quick post. If you’re looking to randomly spend some cash and beef-up your closet in preparation for the summer… Keep your eye out for nylon web belts. The ones I linked to are from Gap (They’re on sale too!), but there are a ton of Army/Boy Scout Surplus Stores that carry military issue [...]

Remember going to the arcades with a 20 dollar bill almost running to the change counter where they would drop 80 shiny new tokens in your grubby little hands? You’d wait in line for almost 10 minutes to play 2 or 3 rounds of Street Fighter II, only to get your ass kicked by [...]

I love my camera phone/sushi/Korean bbq! Yesterday’s antics have been archived as a Flickr web album located here. I woke up, had some sushi @ sushi station, did some freelancing @ Borders and then ended the night @ the Chicago Kalbi House.

Richard K. Morgan, one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors, is releasing the third installment of the Takeshi Kovacs series titled Woken Furies next month. I’m excited! If you’re unfamiliar with the series, his first books Altered Carbon and Broken Angels have garnered positive reviews as well as the coveted Philip K. Dick award [...]

I had dinner with Rhoda today. We ate @ an Argentinian restaurant in Chicago (Thanks Jorge). It was PACKED, but we finally got a table when they opened the back room. The dj was excellent as always, spinning some really deep dub tracks (on Final Scratch!). The atmosphere was excellent [...]

Via Techbargains. If you didn’t already know… Amazon is offering free downloads on their site. Here’s another link to their Top Downloads. If you find any decent tracks, please show and tell.
In other news… I’m very happy. I’m very very very happy. And in OTHER OTHER news… I have Quando [...]

Quick post. Superdawg (Milwaukee Ave. @ Devon and Nagel) is a drive-in hot dog joint in Chicago where you park your car and order your food through a speaker and they deliver the food directly to your window. It’s quite an experience and the food was good to boot! I think the [...]

If you look @ the ‘Halo 2 Stats Module’ on my sidebar… You’ll see that all the numbers are @ zero. Bungie.net is Temporarily Offline for Maintenance… so I guess they’re finally resetting the rankings in Halo 2.
And how does that make me feel?
YAY! A clean slate! Woohoo! This is just a [...]
