tumbled

yeah i gave in. the Iphone app will allow me to post things with a quickness. like Audio! look for my first audio update, live from my car during lunch.

how could i resist that?

This will probably still exist for rare longform stuff. and i tweet on occasion. i also write now occasionally for southerngamer.net.

if you want some ditchell, you can find some.

hey guess what?

i got married on Friday.

No, Really. Seriously.

market forces

what i've been obsessed with lately:

Citigroup
Sirius XM
Ford
GE
AMD

I'm playing the market. and right now I'm winning.

This will most likely change.

But for now- hell with you, market. this is a little payback for the tech bubble of '99. Eat it!

In other news... come to our damn show on March 28th at Bottletree. Please. It will be good. Or at least interesting to you. Daikaiju is crazy- samurai masks and surf music. You'll tell your grandkids about it.

It's bedtime. Or it's time to play peggle until I can't see straight. Can't remember which. 

Tonight I got a comment from one of my blogs.

The one with the pic of the guy toking from an N64 controller.

here's the comment:

Hey, Retard, why don't you learn the definition of a bong!!! That is def. not a bong, more of a pipe, maybe a bubbler

That's actually a valid comment. I will accept it on its face value. First, let me go back in time to SEPTEMBER 2007 WHEN I ACTUALLY WROTE THAT. And then I will say "Touche, sir. You are correct."

Yard clearing has reached an all time high. (what a segue!) The back jungle is no more. it is now an ivy farm next to a leaf pile. This is an substantive improvement over any point in my 3.5 years living here. By the power of Craftsman, my chainsaw strikes true. Let no small tree find solace, no privet find respite. Let my extension cord tether me to civilization as I wander in the gully of the land beyond the storage shed.

Enough. I miss this blogging. It's kind of passe now which sort of makes me like it even more.

Since I spend some time on the tweetdeck, let me condense this into a tweet.

"trees cut in yard. stoner finds blog 1.5 years too late. omg gotta go do laundry."

whatever happened to you?

I got a frantic call from a friend wondering if I was still alive since I haven't blogged in forever. Instead of calling him back (which I still plan on doing) I'll remind all 3 of you loyal readers that I am, indeed, alive. 

I guess there are reasons I haven't been blogging. There's bham.fm- which is probably a poor excuse. It's not like I'm cranking out posts on it all the time. But it's the act of being concerned with it that takes uhhh mind-time? sure, why not.  

There's also this girl I'm seeing. She told me I could never blog again. It's all her fault. NO. The girl is good. She's dragging me kicking and screaming into some nonhermetic existence and I thank her for it. It's weird having someone...concerned about me. Im adjusting, I think.

Also, a lot of my bloggish tendencies are now on twitter. If  you are into that, look me up. keyword search: ditchell. Man. do you remember that brief time in the late nineties when companies would actually say that in advertisements? "Find out more about McDonalds on AOL. Keyword search: Mickey D's". How weird is that, now?

Sorry. 

So I'm busy. Sort of. Not busy in the sense of "I don't have time to blog" but more like "I could blog or I could go play Street Fighter IV and watch Lost."

Speaking of which... 

Busted!

Cat integration fully complete. it only took 11 months. of course an hour after this, they were back to war. but during a sappy movie they... cuddled. it was surprising.

The new one

Cats in Kitchen.

These cats are plotting something. Notice my innovation in home furnishings- the kitchen couch. It's a big hit at parties. This was taken with my new lens in very low light, and I'm amazed at how bright I can take it without losing anything.

I know my bloggings have been weak lately. This will be corrected.

yet another blog to follow

it's not original.

but i think it will be fun.
