happy festivus!
by josh on December 23rd, 2008
yes, i am drinking sam adams tonight in celebration of the festivus holiday.
last night i got to watch the packers blow a shoulda been win in the last minutes…..
…..and tonight? the badger basketball team freakin’ blew it in the last minute to texas. wtf is wrong with wisco sports and the premature ejaculation?
anyways, sticking on the festivus and wisco theme….i stumbled across a company that sells festivus poles. best part? they are proudly “made in milwaukee”.
hahaaha……happy festivus!
here’s the company’s webpage…..please support them.
email updates, etc…

ok…..i think i finally found and figured out exactly what i was looking for, when it comes to the email subscriptions.
so this is really just a test post more than anything. lemme know what ya think of the new email notifications. they are just prettier…..and more importantly, easy to manage on my end.
in other news…..nothing much. last day of work tomorrow and then i have off until after the new year. what am i gonna do? hell if i know. though, i did sign up for this art auction thing at my work….so i guess i can putz around with that. it’s nothing special, just designing a water bottle with a beach/earth day theme.
i stopped at this art supply store on my way home from work today, just to pick up some paints and brushes. only thing is……i don’t think i’ve ever really painted in my life. but whatever, how hard can it be? right?
this could be interesting….
the art store was filled with abuncha cool shit though. i had never been there before, but it amazed me all the stuff they had. i have one friend that calls me “pablo” already….(inside joke about pablo picasso)….so who knows, maybe it’ll be the start of a new hobby.
yeah….screw that…..why bother with the mess when you can just paint on the computer. ha!

*sings* …..i am gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine……
ps. i changed something on the email subscriptions again. just trying something, it’s it’s all messed up…..sorry.

okay…so i was ready to pull the trigger on buying a new car last week. unfortunately by the time i got to the dealer…..someone had already drove off with the car i was looking at, just hours prior.
which sucked. but what can ya do?…..so i took a bath on that idea for the time being.
fast forward to today. i am lounging around all day, not feeling all that hot…..but still figured i should go get some beer for at least the football games tomorrow. i venture off to the lovely local ralph’s as usual. i pull into the parking lot and have to loop around the isles to find a spot. of course this crap ass family is walking down the middle of the lane just completely unaware of the fact that there are other ppl in the world. i shoulda just floored it into one of the little shitstains they call “cute lil’ johhny”….but i degress….
i see the first available parking spot open and go to pull into it. ooooopppp! the ralph’s girl was collecting the carts and was cutting through my parking spot on her way to the cart rack in front of the store. my bad sweetie…..i thought to myself as i waited for her to get outta my way.
all of a sudden the look on her face turns to that of horror with a readable “OH MY GOD!” in her lips.
….is all i heard, as someone backed into my car.
ugh, you’ve got to be kidding me. i was ready to flip out, go crazy, and all sortsa other crazy shit……until i looked and saw it was this 17-18 year old little asian kid in a brand new toyota camary. needless to say, he was just more scared than anything. had no clue what to do….so he got on the phone with what i assume was his parents.
i take a look at my car…..and yeah, there is now a scratch right where my bumper meets the body….and my bumper is a little jacked down, but only about a 1/4 of an inch. easily fixable with the brand new tools i just got! woot! i still check to make sure the lights and doors are all fine and make sure there isn’t any hidden damage. it’s all good….
i say to the kid, “what happen man? did you just not look in your mirrors?”
he just kinda shrugs and is still just nothing but scared and unsure of what to do.
i take a look at his car. hehehe, his whole bumper is fuct and will most likely need to be completely replaced. ouch.
i say, “don’t worry dude, shit happens. it’s all good. i am not gonna even bother with trying to get this fixed as there is no point on my car.”
he looks at me with a face just filled with confusion and says, “well, i should probably call my insurance…….”
“don’t bother man. sorry, but it was your fault, and the cart girl saw everything. they will tell you the same thing….” i explain. “you are gonna have to get your bumper fixed, but just tell them you backed into something and pay the deductible. it sucks for you, but i am not gonna go after your insurance to get this little scratch fixed on my shitty old car man……”
of course at this point he finally understands what i am saying. as in, don’t sweat it kid….i am not gonna try and screw you.
“well thank you sir.” he says…. “but can i at least give you some money? all i have is $10, but still.”
i laugh, “it’s okay man, i don’t want your money either.”
now the dude is really confused again. i can tell because he is just kinda looking at me as if i am some kind of ghost.
he asks, “are you going to church?”
huh? realize, i am dressed like a complete bum here. jeans, no socks, just threw on some shoes, and a hoodie. hell, i haven’t even showered and probably smell…..
“no, i am going to get beer…..haha.” says the typical josh.
“well, sir, i will pray to jesus thanking and thinking of you for this.” says the kid….
ugh. for the love of christ kid…..i’d be praying for better driving skills and the ability to pay attention, but whatever floats your boat i guess. it was flattering though….so to end our little exchange and make my way to my beer, i parted ways with a, “cool man, say hi to him for me.”
so now i sit here……enjoying a cold sam adams winter lager…..wondering if anyone will ever believe me when i say i am really jesus. ha!
*holds bottle in the air*
“to jesus! and shitty little kid drivers!”
cheers!
*hiccup*

aimee mann’s xmas: a review.
by josh on December 7th, 2008
so yes, i went to the aimee mann christmas show last night at the wiltern up in downtown los angeles.
i’ll be the first to admit i was exactly thrilled about it being a “christmas” show, but wow was i surprised by how much more than that it was. after getting some drinks and people watching….we found our seats about 10 mins before the show started. the seats? were ridiculous. first row of the lodge…..which is basically the balcony in the wiltern. needless to say, the theater isn’t that big, so we were right on top of everything. then again, the wiltern rules in the sense that just about any seat was right on top of everything too.
well the show started with a few christmas tunes, while aimee introduced speical guests nellie mckay and grant lee phillips. both were amazing and even played a couple solo songs themselves.
one of the more interesting aspects of the show, was a 3 part video christmas special that consisted of a sarcastic spoof of a christmas carol. they split it up into 3 parts. the first part consisting of aimee being awoken in bed by…..dun, dun, dun…..micheal penn! he informed her of the 3 ghosts that would be visiting her. the 1st ghost soon chimed in…..via ichat video conference on aimee’s laptop. it was nothing short of hilarious for anyone that has ever tried to video chat…..with video freezing, things not working, having to switch to skype, the ghost not knowing where the cam button is on skype, and just……well, maybe it made more sense to anyone that’s tried to use that kinda buggy technology…..but was still funny for all.
next, comedian patton oswald jumped in the mix. you may know him from things like king of queens and reno 911. he sang along a bit and did a good 10 minute stand up set somewhere inbetween more music and the next video installment.
the 2nd part of the video was pretty slick. it started as aimee was singing chestnuts roasting……but she got interrupted by the ghost of christmas shows present via a live satellite feed. the ghost, was played by none other than!!!!! jim from the office! john krasinski.
it’s was as equally as funny as the first part…..until……JOHN CAME RUNNING OUT FROM BACKSTAGE!!!!! to not only surprise the crowd, but apparently aimee as well. they sang a song together, and john was a horrible singer……but like it mattered. fucking jim from the office comes running on the stage at an aimee mann concert? only in los angeles.
-click to play video-
at that point aimee played a few normal songs, save me and wise up. which made my panties wet.
other highlights included a great rendition of mr. grinch from aimee and grant lee (here’s a video from last year just to give you an idea of how sweet it was). grant lee also came out dressed up as willie nelson….and needless to say there were plenty of weed jokes to go along with the already stinky air in the theater. also, the 2 cops from reno 911 came out to inform the audience of a special christmas charity this year for crackheads. “christmas for crackheads”…..as in you can sponsor your very own crackhead for christmas this year. heh.
there was also an appearance from the hanukkah fairy. she came out stumbling drunk…..and preggers with god’s baby. hahahaha……she then preceded to cut some licks into a rap where aimee and the other backup singers helped her out with a chorus that consisted of “the immaculate conception of the hanukkah fairy”….and “the mutherfuckin’ hanukkah fairy”……hahaha. was awesome.
the third video installment was just as hilarious as the others. aimee tried recruiting michael cera (from juno, superbad)…..to be part of her show. he was thrilled…..but he refused to play tiny tim. hahaha, which, of course is the part they had in mind for him.
the 3rd ghost to visit aimee? none other than john. c. reilly!!! who was just as hilarious as the rest of course…..but unfortunately he didn’t run out from backstage.
overall the show was just simply amazing. filled with good music, suicide christmas jokes, some go obama fist pumps, and more than anything….an evening watching friends be friends.
aimee mann did the soundtrack for magnolia right? well, patton oswald had a small part in magnolia. john c. reilly of course the connection is there…..but grant lee phillips? plays a lot with jon brion at the largo here in los angeles. jon brion? did the score for magnolia…..as well as collaborated with michael penn on various other projects. michael penn is married to aimee mann…..
and it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that this is not just “something that happened.” this cannot be “one of those things…”
all in all….i recommend this show to anyone that has a chance to see it. too bad she is pretty much only playing in california, and then off to the east coast to hit conn, mass, and new york.
