Snorting Daddy

According to Good Day Sacramento, who got their story from another source I can’t remember, Keith Richards admitted to a British tabloid that while snorting cocaine, he ground up his father’s ashes even smaller and snorted daddy too! His publicist denies this, but it didn’t stop the traffic team at GDS from expiermenting, which was followed by a breakdown on set. Check out this video I uploaded from yesterday’s GDS…

Yesterday was my day to reset my internal clock. I was tired of insomnia, so I toughed out yesterday as long as I could. Around 5PM, I finally crashed. Woke up around 2AM, thinking it was 4AM, and disappointed when I found out otherwise. Oh well, I’ll have to wake up early tomorrow anyway for the Discovery Kingdom broadcast with the Alice Morning Crew. It’s going to be a pain in the butt getting Ninja Jim up early tomorrow morning.

Today though, my temporary crown comes out to make way for a permanent, porcelain one. I’m going to be in SO MUCH PAIN after this morning. Ouch.  Makes me cringe thinking about it…

Insomnia on a Wednesday Morning

4 April, 2007 at 3:43 am | In Life, Outings | 2 Comments

My days are night are flipped at the moment, so I’m awake during the night and asleep during the day. Living in the extreme San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve learned something these past few nights—nothing is open past 2AM.

Ninja Jim and I will be at Discovery Kingdom this Friday, hanging out with the Alice Morning Crew. If you’re in the Bay Area, come check out the new Six Flags Discovery Kingdom with the Alice Morning Crew! Admission is free for the first 1,000 people, then it’s only $9.73 per person until 9AM. Animals will be interacting with the audience, and Sarah & No Name of the Alice Morning Show will be joined by band Brickhead and comedian Dat Phan. Doors usually open at 6AM, I’m told. It’ll be really funny to see me out and about one day after major dental work, but I’ve been planning this for along time with Jim, so we’re going anyway!

Also, I’ve been invited by a neighbor of mine to take a tour of KTVU Television Studios in Oakland sometime in the next few weeks. I don’t know which day I’ll be going, but it’ll be fun nonetheless. I’ll be checking out the control rooms of KTVU, the area’s Fox affiliate, and I’ll be sitting in on a newscast as well. KTVU Fox 2 is host to the Bay Area’s highest-rated primetime news program, and is the same station that fictional character Daniel Hillard (portrayed by Robin Williams) worked for after divorcing his wife in the 1990s movie Mrs Doubtfire. KTVU is also a partner station of KFOX 14, a channel I used to watch when I lived in El Paso, Texas. Here’s an example of a KTVU newscast that I’ll be sitting in on—in this clip, they report that pop-up ads can harm your computer:

Right now, it’s close to five in the morning, and I’m waiting for Starbucks to open so I can go get some Passion Iced Tea.  That stuff’s good, even if it does taste a little bland.

Best of the Week, Edition 3

31 March, 2007 at 12:49 pm | In Best of the Week, Notable Links | 4 Comments

Starting off this post is FREE MUSIC! That’s right, 100% free music. I’ve been jamming out to this new contemporary artist, Paolo Nutini (you may have heard his song “New Shoes” play on your local hit FM radio station). He’s this awesome artist from the UK whose music is selling fast on both iTunes and at Hear Music stands at Starbucks. While most people have heard his upbeat song about his new shoes and new life attitude, I’ve been digging what could very well be his new single (ironically, I heard it on the Hear Music channel on XM Radio), called Last Request.

If you want to download Last Request as part of my artist-album promotion here on the blog, head on over to the Download Center. It’ll be there for the next week or two, so snag it while you can and tell me what you think of it! If you don’t feel like downloading it, the song plays in-rotation on Stream 24 as well.

Best of the Week #3: The Solar Anglometer
Written by Ninja Jim
Yes, Ninja Jim blogs! It’s something I haven’t really bothered to pitch, but it’s true. Jim’s been talking about this little invention of his for the past few weeks—most of you will only get to see the Photoshop graphic he made for the “solar anglometer”, but I’ve seen the actual blueprints (or greyprints, since there’s nothing blue about them) of this thingy. I don’t understand what it’s for, how it works or anything like that—to me, it looks like a sundial—but he’s pretty excited about it. And I love seeing ingenuity at its best.

Random Stuff

29 March, 2007 at 2:51 pm | In Life | Leave a Comment

Nobody has been reading my blog lately (and if they are, I can’t tell because nobody ever leaves comments), so I figure this is the perfect opportunity to be completely random. So here, in no apparent order, are some random things.

1.  I can’t stand that Blondie song The Tide Is High. The melody and lyrics feel like it should be sung alongside Hokey Pokey and other children’s music songs.

2.  I finally got around to upgrading my Macintosh to Mac OS 10.4.9. I don’t understand what’s so different about this upgrade, but the computer’s been pushing it for the past week or so.

3.  My station, Stream 24, is now ranked 20th among 100 other stations in its genre, and 3,020th out of over 10,000 stations overall.

4.  I found out one of my friends is a communist. Well, anyone who censors free-speech and bitches about what others has to say might as well be a communist…

    Today is an uneventful day of burning data to DVDs in an effort to free up hard drive space. I’m hoping that this, in turn, will make the computer run faster (fat chance, I know). According to Spotlight, I have over 25GB of music files on a hard drive with a capacity of 75GB. Which means 50GB is being allocated to something else (movies and GarageBand files, no doubt, or the fact that I have four different web browsers installed on this machine).

    Ninja Jim and I are heading to Downtown Sacramento tonight.
