forgotten

It’s my roommate. He says I don’t know how to tell you this, but we were robbed.

When I get there I see that “we” weren’t robbed. I was. His work laptop got stolen. It’s not even his. My roommate isn’t very much a capitalist or a gadget guy so unless the thieves were more cultured and wanted books on Celtic myth, history, or D&D they weren’t going to be taking his shit. No offense Jonathan…

However, they were very interested in my things. Like my 2 laptops, my 30gb iPod, my Nintendo Wii and all of its various accessories, about 10 Wii games, my wireless keyboard and mouse, and they packed it all up in my backpack and left.

And they did this (I think) between 10 am and noonish. I had woken up late for work because I wasn’t feeling well the night before so I slept in a bit and I had emails on server starting at 12:30pm.

I don’t feel all that violated. I know some people get unnerved by strangers/thieves having been in their home. Not really in my case. Everyone is surprised by how calm I’m taking everything. But what good will it do to rant and rave? Sure, if catch any shady motherfucker hanging around I might take my pool cue upside his face, but to bitch and moan and get all freaked out? Not my thing. Hell, Jen was more upset by everything than I was.

The thing I am most angry about is my primary laptop (the other was Jen’s old one that I had been meaning to sell for parts). It had emails from as far back as 2002 or so. It had all my addresses, birthdays, phone numbers, and photos. My resumes, portfolio (from when I wanted to be a Graphic Designer). Yes, even porn clips that I’ve hoarded since the late 90s from when I was in college. It was my connection to nearly everyone though. Through WoW, LJ, the VI and LaFa boards, I kept track of all my friends’ goings on. Now I have to do that M-F during work hours.

I have renter’s insurance, need to call them still but I wanted to research the cost of some things (also figure out exactly which games are missing). I don’t know how it will play out. I also need to figure out which Wii games I had downloaded and the dollar amount of those.

Ok…this post just kinda ran out of steam…
I think cowardly fucktard thieves should get their hands cut off for stealing hard earned from people.

He broke his dick for the last time.

I’ll miss rolling him up in a mattress burrito.

BROWN.

Now I will talk about my St. Patrick’s Day. Which involved me going to see Clutch.

The show was awesome, with the exception of the opening band, Hex Machine. I just wasn’t feeling it from them. Very disjointed musically. Every song seemed to start with a heavy minute-long dirge intro, then they would start playing more rock and occasionally scream something into the mic. Funny thought I had…the band is comprised of 3 young guys and 1 old dude, I thought “Gee that’s cool that their dad gets involved…”

The second band was Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. These guys were great. If the next band hadn’t been so awesome I would have bought one of their albums. Great presence, they actually talked to the crowd, they had personality. Pic below.

The third band was Murder by Death. If Clutch wasn’t playing next it would have been the highlight. Absolutely terrific. The cello/keyboard player was brought out during Clutch’s act to play during 10001110101. But yeah, their show was pretty tight. Tight enough that I bought their new album. Pics and movie below.









Finally at 10 pm Clutch started. I really don’t have anything to say. It was awesome. I knew it would be. Here’s the chorus for the Mob Goes Wild. I will allow you to adjust your pants. And dance the good time dance.

I think the UPS commercial held up, though the Coca-cola commercial with Stewie and Underdog was a runner up.

Cartoon Network decided to skip this episode and go straight into the episode featuring the Dinobots (Episode 6). Can’t say I blame them as it’s a “Kryptonite-freak episode” ala Smallville with little to add to the overall story. It’s not a bad episode, but I think it would have just had the series coasting for a week.

Anyway, it’s available on TimeWarner onDemand, but since some people don’t have access to that a kind person put it up on YouTube.
