1) This past weekend Mrs. ACW and I went to the Demolition Derby in Arcadia again, and again it was super-awesome double-extraordinary. We saw two cars flip onto their roofs (both drivers were fine), half a dozen cars catch on fire, two-dozen (or more) blown tires, and about a million bone-crunching crashes. It is truly a fine life I live. Pictures and video tomorrow, hopefully.
2) I’ve been dealing with a bloody nose since about 7am. It starts and stops, but let me tell you, when you’re half-asleep on Monday morning and you’re shaving in the shower (by the way, I shave in the shower) and you sleepily look into the stainless steel shower mirror and see blood all over your face, you may start having a tiny little freak-out as you try to find where you must’ve sliced yourself open to bleed so profusely before you remember your nose has been bleeding. And the blood sort-of makes me look like a demented zombie-Santa Claus with a hunger for flesh, so at least I’ve got that going for me.
Anyway, I’ve got some wadded up tissue in my pocket, but I’m beginning to think I should just carry these around.
3) I got the new Cake CD this weekend, and I’ve been listening to it this morning, and it’s great if you’re a fan of the band. It’s got some pretty funky covers, and a couple of new/old songs (b-sides) that have that familiar Cake feel to them. One of the songs that took me by surprise is a cover of this. I hope you’ll forgive me when I explain that I had a tiny little orgasm when I heard it and wasn’t expecting to hear it. It’s a treat!
Best of all, Cake eschewed the studios for their album release so all the cash from the album goes directly to them and not to some cock-gobbling stuffed-suit record-company douchebag, and there’s not a whole bunch of anti-piracy bullshit all over the album. Get it record companies? I bought the fucking album! Why would you show all the piracy bullshit to the people who BUY THE ALBUMS? You must all be idiots.
Anyway, whatever. Shut-up. I’m awesome.
1) Yeeee-haw!
2) lay off the coke
3) It is pretty awesome, isn’t it? Also, your link seems to be missing, but I assume you are talking about a song usually rendered by muppets…
Oo! I love Cake (the band, not the dessert). Thanks for the heads up.
Did all the other girls start throwing tampons at you while chanting “Plug it up!”?
Now go to your closet and pray.
Sigh…
I hate missing the derby. I’m going to have to miss the one in August too. Nothing will keep me from September’s derby!! Nothing!!
Yeah, I think you forgot to insert the link to the song they cover. What song is it?
I heard a song off the new album on the radio and wasn’t very impressed, actually. I like most of their stuff and was pretty disappointed, but it was only one song, and one listen.
Um, how about a link to “this”. Douche.
Please, please, please tell me there were more pregnant children roaming around with their bellies on display. Hopefully smoking ciggies at the same time with a can of the Beast in their hands.
Please?
AHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ob-Wan Kinobi nose bleeder!!!!
I did not just misspell Kenobi. ooooops.
ob is intentional, of course.
I hate bleeding noses so much. All I can picture when you said you’re nose had been bleeding all morning is Mr. Furious in Mystery Men trying to pick up that waitress while he had that wad of tissue stuff up his nose.
Cake!
I know what I’m buying today…
Link fixed!
Damn, I didn’t even know Cake had a new album out. Way to be a fan. Thanks for the heads up!
I have absolutely nothing witty to say except that i HATE bloody noses, or pretty much anything that comes out of the nose. That said, Neo synephrine (or any kind of nasal spray that dries the shit out of your mucus membranes) should help stop the outpouring. It constricts the blood vessels! No charge for the free medical advice. You may resume your regularly scheduled routine.
Just say no to doing coke off the ass crack of a stripper. Jeez, that’s a simple answer!
Dude! A little warning before the derby next time would be appreciated! Don’t be so selfish.
You have just earned yourself a place on my favorite people list with your love of Cake. *swoon* My hero!
If Cake went on the road with the grunge band Hole, would they call it the Cake-Hole tour??
No, MD, it’d be the “Shut Your Cake-Hole” tour. Geez, aren’t they smarter than that?
Oh, wait….
I’m trying to picture Your Awesomeness with Tampax shoved up his nose.
Yup, pretty awesome!
That song was awesome. It has been in my head for like 2 hours now. When will it stop? When!?
I’m with Cruiser-A Cake fan? WOW…
I’ve always wanted to go to a DD. Its one of the few white trash entertainment vehicles (no pun intended) that looks interesting.
You have read World War Z by Max Brooks, right? I’m just checking, because, er, librarian.
Derby. September. Will try to teach my children to smoke before then.
