Tunes Air - Venus (Live at KEXP)

I'm overwhelmed with work. Wonder when I'll crack.

Halloween was a lot of fun, maybe I'll post some pictures if I can steal them from Jason's camera.

In my pursuits to spread pirattitude I've opened a store - The Official PirateJokes.net store! Long-time balrog readers may recall my last empty effort. The difference is that this time I've actually put something there you can buy. Right now it's one design, and I think it's a little too kid-looking, but it's a start. Look for a badass line of postage stamps and license plate holders to follow.

Speaking of merch, I got a pirate shirt this week - I dig it. Note how the pirate on this shirt exactly matches the first image result on Google...

Also, pirates have made local news. Or have they?

Here's something I stole from Miko, these are sometimes fun:

10 years ago...
You'd never recognize me. Video game master. I actually spent the same amount of time in front of computer as I do now... that sucks.

5 years ago...
I could tell you what size those Old Navy pants those were in French measurements. Would you like me to check upstock for you? I had no tattoos. Making the transition to 'city slicker' rather well. Retired from video games.

Yesterday...
All my troubles seemed so far away! It was very cold and I fantasized about a chocolate fondue fountain.

Five snacks I enjoy...
I enjoy all chocolate creations. Ham. Gümmi. Wasabi Peas. Chocolate ham, I suppose.

Five songs I know the words to...
Nothing Better by The Postal Service. Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas. Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton. Every single one of these. I don't know any other songs.

Five things I would do with 100 million dollars...
- Reflect on what a good idea that identity theft scheme was
- Invest and donate
- Travel
- Treat friends and family to nice things, like houses and hybrid cars
- Complete my Loony Tunes collection... with actual living Loony Tunes.

Five bad habits...
- Forgetting things
- Falling out of contact with people in episodes ranging from 1 week to 3 years
- Finds things annoying about other people and realizing I do the same thing aww damn!
- I sometimes listen to emo
- That is all

Five biggest joys...
- Life
- Alice, friends and family
- Puns
- Creativity
- Moving quickly

Five favorite toys...
- Anything with buttons
- Anything with lights
- Anything with electricity
- Snowboard
- Concertina (future favorite toy)

Five places I would run away to...
Paris. Budapest. Random European destination of your choice (pick Sealand!). Vancouver. San Diego.

One place I'd run away from....
Prison.

Five things I would never wear...
That purple dress again, geez, what a disaster.

Five favorite TV shows... (of the moment)
Conan. Family Guy. Anythng I'm fortunate enough to see on The Amazing Cable.

Five fictional characters I would date...
Sorry, the position has been filled. But there's always room for Fonzie...
