'Tis the season to be jolly

Not christmas of course. As festive as christmas is - the weather sucks. At least here in KCMO. It seems that start of spring and summer is upon us. Today was probably about a 75 degree day - beautiful.

I've always liked grilling out in the summer, having a couple beers, so on and so forth. Hell - I actually grilled in the winter too, but summer was the best. However, my grill got fucked up in a T-storm last fall. Knocked over, handle broke, important looking pieces falling out of place. I've been told by a few people that I should try fix it. They were free to try if they wanted to be the first to fire it up afterward. Sorry, but fix-er-upper and gas and fire do not go together for me.

Anyway, I got a new grill the other day. This time, I'll be grilling out front rather than on the deck so I can pull it into the garage when I'm not using it. Furthermore, I'm not fucking around this year. I'm serious about enjoying the experience this summer. So, I've got the grill. Got some lounge chairs and portable tables. Got a wiffle ball set and a washers set. I'll be keeping the fridge stocked with some beer. This summer is going to be awesome. Enjoying the simple things - good weather, good food, and some simple but classic entertainment.

KCMO'ers - post some comments or email me and we'll hook up for some summer grill outs.

Whaaa??!!

That's right. "Happy Monday!" - and to prove it, I submit the following:

Apparently, four 12-packs of Coca-Cola (caffeine-free, of course) and 11 packs of Cadbury eggs, in addition to the two bags of mini eggs I already have at home, weren't enough. I just had to throw in that bag of Easter Whoppers at the end.

Oh, and how did I feel standing behind a fat guy at the checkout who's buying lettuce and vegetables and stuff and here I am with my soda and pile of chocolate?

Hey - I have to stock up. They don't sell Creme Eggs all year. What better time to do so than during the day after Easter fire sale?

On a completely different note - having the wax flushed out of your ear at the doctor's office feels really wierd. At least I can hear out of my left ear now. Just sayin'....

Ok - I haven't posted in a while. I'm here. Not to assume that anyone was worried. However, I'd like to not stay dormant too long. I've been way too lazy this week. Not just on this... in general. Probably because I haven't slept well this week. Luckily, I get to sleep in tomorrow. Every morning this week when I've had to get up, all I could think was how great it's going to feel Saturday when I can stay in bed until I'm ready to get up of my own choosing.

So, I got a new digital camera the other day. Nothing fancy, but a bit of an upgrade from my previous. Wasn't actually "in the market" for one, but stumbled on a great deal for this camera. Eventually, I'd like to get properly into photography but for now, I just need something I can take out with me and get some quick shots. I'm hoping this will do better with certain kinds of shots than my old one. Been playing with it, just taking stupid shots. For example, here's what I did after work today:

Yeah, I know - Uno's isn't the first place you'll think to have a drink and certainly not my favorite as far as atmosphere goes. We wanted to stick close to home today, though (I live in suburbia... sue me). Plus, they actually have a suprisingly cheap happy hour. Two bucks for those tall beers... if you're willing to settle for Bud or Bud Light (which, at $2 a pop, I am).  

Anyway, don't know what the rest of the weekend will bring, but I'll be sure to update again before it's over. Hopefully with something of more significance than telling you I'm tired and showing you a picture of two beer glasses (I'll try make sure there's at least six next time).

...worry that you are saying your thoughts out loud? Like, especially if you're in a quiet place. Maybe your brain is going a hundred miles an hour and you're thinking about all kinds of things. Do you ever stop and think to yourself "did I say anything out loud?"

Maybe that's just me. Of course, I'm obsessive and paranoid. It wouldn't be as bad if I didn't think of so much wierd shit. I can't imagine what people would think if they heard some of the things that go on in my head.

Thing is... I've heard a few people mumble things to themselves as they are thinking and I'm not sure if they know they do it. If they don't, then would I realize if I was doing it?

Ok. Reset.

So.... here I am, bringing the site back from the dead. Not sure what my current constituency is or will be, but for those that were not visitors before, a little background. I used to run a movie review site here at HellNinjaCommando. Specifically, it focused on asian movies (mostly HK and Korean, but a few Japanese movies thrown in for good measure). I did fairly well for myself during that time period, especially as there was a good community in that area. We even put together an "alliance" to protest Disney/Miramax's (under the direction of the Weinsteins) butchering and re-dubbing of asian films to which they had purchased the rights. Got some national attention and we like to think that some of the recent changes in viewpoints from the Weinsteins is at least partially attributed to our efforts.....

Sorry for the language, especially this being my first post and all, but I'm pissed. I spent all this time jacking with the blogging software, jumping through a bunch of hoops just to get back to square one. Finally get in and write up what I thought was a good damn first post, go to save - BAM - error. So, I wasted all that time, lost the text I had entered, and now it's fucking late (12:30 AM - way later than I planned on being up.) So, I won't be able to get it back up tonight.

I'm going to bed... sorry folks. Hopefully tomorrow's post will be nicer... a proper intro post.
