I was browsing around Wikipedia a bit today, and discovered entries for Roselle Park, where I grew up, and Somerville, where I live now. Of course, San Diego has an entry too, as does Comic-Con and Horton Plaza.
Month: June 2006
teenage dirtbag (FLCL AMV)
I was browsing through AMVs on Google Video today and found this FLCL AMV to the tune of “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus. I’d forgotten how much I like that song.
Charlie Rose – Trey Anastasio
A bunch of Charlie Rose episodes are free to view today on Google Video, including the one with Trey Anastasio.
A9 San Diego maps
A9 Maps has some pictures of San Diego, including a couple of my hotel. Browsing through some of their San Diego pictures, it looks like a lot of them were taken on a rainy day, which is pretty weird for San Diego. And looking at some of the pictures on 7th has reminded me that there’s a bit of an uphill climb involved in getting to A St.
Comic-Con Star Wars Exclusives
Lots of Star Wars goodies at San Diego this year, as usual.
more Comic-Con stuff
I heard back from the Comic-Con folks today about registration, and it turns out that they are just late in sending out the registration paperwork. They said they’re sending stuff out this week. That’s a bit of a relief, since I was starting to think I’d lost mine.
Meanwhile, I’ve been checking in with SignOnSanDiego.com every few days to keep an eye on the weather and local news. Let’s hope we don’t have a big quake while I’m out there!
San Diego Comic-Con
Only about a month until Comic-Con. I realized today that I haven’t received my little registration confirmation card yet. I registered back in March, so I’m not sure if this is a problem or not. They may just be late in sending them out. I guess if it doesn’t show up, I can maybe talk my way in with a copy of my cancelled check and a photo ID. Or I can sneak in the back door. Or I can just spend the week at the San Diego Zoo instead. Either way, I’m looking forward to the vacation.
Every year, it seems like I really start to get enthusiastic about the Con around this time. It just seems like I start to go stir-crazy in mid-June and really start wanting to get out of New Jersey, and get away from my job for a few days. This year’s probably a bit worse than usual, for a few reasons, mostly work-related.
And, regardless of any bureaucratic worries, I always wind up having a good time in San Diego, so I probably shouldn’t worry about anything this year either.
Stargate SG-1
I picked up the Stargate SG-1 Season 2 DVDs yesterday at Best Buy, which of course reminded me of Rory Blyth’s Stargate comic. Lot’s of other good stuff on Rory’s blog too.
How to dual-boot Windows XP and Windows Vista
Lifehacker has some instructions on how to set up XP and Vista for dual-boot. I may give this a shot on my home machine. I’m not sure when I’ll find time for it though.
Stuff I’m Listening To Right Now
- Hobotalk — I’m not sure where I first heard these guys, but it was probably on the Tartan Podcast, since they’re Scottish.
- Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s — First heard these guys on Insomnia Radio. I picked up their CD at Tower Records, which might not seem like a big deal, but I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a CD from an indie band that I first heard on a podcast for sale at a big record store like Tower.
- Gnarls Barkley — gotta love Cee-Lo.
- Berman — another band I heard on Insomnia Radio.
