ALOL and WoJ….

Last night I saw Suicide Silence, A Life Once Lost, Walls of Jericho, The Agony Scene, and Absence of the Sun at the Station in Portland. What a good show. Walls of Jericho fucking owned. As did A Life Once Lost. So here’s some pictures of Candice from Walls of Jericho, who I met after their set was done. She’s wicked cool and has some nice ink work to boot.

I didn’t like Suicide Silence that much. I guess their genre is what you’d call “noisecore”? Anyway, they had some okay parts of their songs, but yeah it wasn’t good. The Agony Scene was okay, and Absence of the Sun was okay.

On my way home, I almost managed to get myself a speeding ticket. I was a couple miles from the tollbooth, traveling on I95 at about 80mph, cuz shit man I wanted to get my ass home at 11pm. Somehow the Statie either wasn’t in the vehicle (a decoy) or was looking for people going 20+mph over or DUIs or some other shit. Thank my lucky stars. I don’t need a speeding ticket.

Today I went to the state government public sale and picked up a HP Laserjet 2100tn printer for $35. The first one I picked up didn’t work (error light + two broken control buttons). So I returned it and got a working model, with free paper and the toner cartridge out of the original printer for free. w00t. Good for printing off manuals and other shit for work. Plus I got a lead on doing some contract work for Dell from a helpful fellow at that sale.

I’m gunna go pass out. Peace……

latest favorite tv shows…

Filed under: television — Tags: , , — Joshua @ 10:30 pm

Discovery Channel has a couple kick ass tv shows that I started watching in the past couple weeks.

  1. Storm Chasers, a group of scientists and a filmmaker trying to intercept a tornado.
  2. Everest: Beyond the Limit, an expedition up Mount Everest.

I’m totally digging both of these shows. The last episode of Everest, they showed these two Sherpas who basically ran all the way up the mountain, laying down new ropes for the expedition. Then made it back to base camp in time for dinner. Those guys are amazing. That’s just a feat of human engineering to make it up to the summit, then back down. And they didn’t even appear to be bushed when they made it back to base camp.

My hat is off to those guys. That’s insane.

Mushroomhead owned the night… again!

Saw Mushroomhead on Friday night. That was a great show. I got home late (2am), but who cares. Here’s some photos from the show.

I somehow got everyone in this frame. Not sure how I pulled that off. :lol:
Shmotz has a nice Protools rig. I sat next to it and the soundboard. He was grabbing some samples of one of the bands that played before them. I don’t know if I’d bring a desktop Mac + LCD monitor on the road though. A Macbook Pro would be a way better choice, albeit easy to steal.
I also picked up a new computer chair at Best Buy for $130.

And I got a new cell phone a few days ago. A Kyocera K1000 made for Tracfone. I don’t really use my cell phone a ton, so prepaid works out nicely for me. Sadly I have to give up my 3watt cell phone amp in my truck, as this cell phone (from what I can tell) does not have an external antenna jack. I’ll have to instead get a wireless cell phone repeater and set it up in my truck. I’m debating about doing that.
