Roomie is now gone for 6 weeks to South Africa. The house is going to be quite lonely. Thankfully the kitties will provide some amount of company. Moop.

When Kyle Orton, the rookie out of Purdue, got promoted to starting quarterback for the Bears, I was very happy. I don’t know how I missed these pictures, but he got caught very drunk during the Bear’s bye week. What a great attitude. 🙂

GO BEARS!!!!! I can’t wait to see them blow the shit out of SF this weekend.

So I went a little overboard @ Amoeba yesterday. I bought:

• Adam Ant – Friend or Foe LP
• Elvis Costello – Armed Forces LP
• Elvis Costello – My Aim Is True LP
• Human League – Crash LP
• Gravy Train!!!! – Hello Doctor LP
• Blonde Redhead – S/t and La Mia Vita Violenta LPs
• Nina Hagen – “New York New York” 12″
• Cibo Matto – “Moonchild” Remixes 12″
• Him – some 12″. This is the Him with the drummer from June of 44, not the boring one that gets played on modern rock stations all the time.
• Thrill Kill Kult – Confessions of a Knife… CD
• Milemarker – Onimosity CD
• Donnie Darko: Director’s Cut
• Kill Rock Stars Video Fanzine #3

I didn’t even go through the 7″s. Eeek.

Because sometimes Thanksgiving can be tedious, I have decided to throw a shindig at my house for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. On 11/26/05 I’m going to have a record listening party. Everyone is invited, but if you want to play music it must be a record. 7″, 10″, 12″, indie, metal, rap, dub, ska, drum n bass, jungle, experimental, opera, country whatever. Everything is welcome and encouraged. Just at least it is a record.

So either comment or email me at jnb3 [at] artindeepkoma [dot] com to RSVP. Of course food and drinks will be served. More info on that later.

Long live vinyl!

Um. To come out of the Turkey Day coma and dysfunctional family gatherings, I will be hosting a record listening party on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Yes. 11/26/05.

Everyone is welcome to come and listen to tunes. At my house, we have a diverse array from 80s to indie to the bizarre to jazz. If you have anything, please bring it. But the only criteria is that it must be a record. A 7″, 10″, 12″ whatever. The only thing though is I cannot play a 78rpm record. Anyhow I’d be very impressed if any of you own one.

So yeah. Drinks. Music. Food. Lounging. What more do you need? Either comment or email me jnb [at] artindeepkoma [dot] com to RSVP.

Eek. So I interviewed the two people who submitted their resumes. I like them both. Quelle conundrum.

I’m in a familiar position right now, and I’m not talking about doggie style. My paper-pushing bitch-whore Yuko’s last day was yesterday. So I have to look for another employee. But a warning to people out there.

Be very careful of what info you put about yourself online.

I am one of those employers who will through blogs and all that shit to see what kind of person an applicant is. Thankfully I do want freaks and outrageous people to work for me. But most people out there don’t. So that’s my word of caution.

So this was me in all my glory this morning:

You can see the rest here. Yikes!

Ok. So I am dressed for Halloween here at work. I’m in a shirt, tie, slacks. Also some makeup. Oh and I saran wrapped myself. I’m saying I’m a 21st century mummy of sorts. But let me just say that I am sweating like a motherfucker underneath here. I’ll need a shower once I get home because it is going to be funky.

I’ll have pics when I get home from work.

Edit (1:08pm): I had to go home and completely changed. I ripped myself out of the saran wrap and was left with a sweaty, wet body. Gross! So I’m in normal clothes now.

Everyone needs to check out today’s LA Times and see Wifey’s contribution. He talks about how Hollywood has used parks in movies. So check it out yo.

It was nice seeing him and many others last night.
