Site Notes

2010-04-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

I think this is going to be the last year DJcopydog.com will be on the internet. Site costs were raised and I haven't really been updating since mid-2008.

Starting May 1st (Saturday) Blogger.com will no longer support FTP updates. I'll attempt to change to the new way, but I am not sure if it'll work or not.

Got to check out the seahawks' indoor practice field.

'Yummy' Lunch

2010-02-19T12:15:00.001-08:00

I have oatmeal and beef jerky for lunch. I can combine them together to make Beefy Oats.

Pre release!

2010-01-30T07:08:00.001-08:00

Yep!

Foil fail

2010-01-07T10:17:00.001-08:00

I bought a pack of doublemint, and the individual sticks were wrapped in paper instead of foil. weak.

In other news, my XBox is still in the shop (shipped it out last Sunday). I reactivated my WoW account, and they made the game alot easier to play! I am making BANK from my herbs.

Deep Fried Turkeys

One of the benefits of working at a radio station the day before Thanksgiving. That is a microphone to get the bubbling sounds.

Apartment Living

2009-11-25T10:28:00.001-08:00

Around 8am, I had a knock at my door waking me up. I was about to look through the peep-hole, when I heard something to the effect on the other side of "If nobody answers, we'll just open it." So, I open the door and it is a plumber coming to fix a leak. They take a look, and say they are going to replace my water heater, and asked me to move my microwave cart, everything from my counters, from the top of the fridge, and the fridge itself. I said, "Okay, let me put some pants on first." I was still only wearing underwear at that point. Weird.

These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty

2009-10-14T16:52:00.000-07:00

Few quick thoughts on what's going on:

- Halloween is coming up! What should I be?! I haven't dressed up in years, but thought this would be a fun one, since it is a Saturday night.

- Awesomecam is FINALLY on track to record an album. We have decided to self-record, and if it starts sounding like crud, we might have to end up going somewhere. If anybody has any help to offer, please let me know!

- It is funny how little things can really cheer you up. Justine and I just bought a new shower head, and it is excellent. Makes waking up in the morning for work a little less horrible.

- Red Bull is doing a promotion right now where they hide boxes of their energy shots around the USA. So far, I've found one box. I really hope that Jack Daniel's does a similar promotion in the future. ACTUALLY, if Jagermiester did something like this, they could just hide their product next to the Red Bull. Now, THAT'S a party.

- I have decided that once I've paid off my student loans, I am going to invest in a Harley Davidson. Does anybody have some tips on buying?

2009-10-08T11:05:00.001-07:00

I found a red bull stash!

RIP CIRCUIT - 2008 - August 13, 2009

2009-08-13T14:19:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning and found a lifeless hamster in his cage. Circuit was a good pet. Justine and I loved him very much. We buried him under a Magnolia tree this morning.

Yay beer!

Parking Spot + Ignore User + Vacation

2009-06-17T14:37:00.000-07:00

LONG story short... I had to drive back to my apartment to grab something last night, and somebody was parked in my spot! I was so mad, I hate when this happens. So, I looked in the SUV's window for any clues which apartment to knock on... and BAM, two completely naked people doin' it in the back seat. I went inside and grabbed what I needed, and came back outside to get in my car. The dude was standing shirtless outside his SUV, stretching. I asked if they would be there long, because they were parked in my spot. He replied "I just got out of prison, and had to make a quick stop. We'll be out of here in a minute." I said it was no problem, and have a good day.

On another note... I was getting pretty bogged down with some users' newsfeeds, and finally found the "Ignore" button! So happy. The urge to punch that person in the face every time I see her pictures and status updates has gone down significantly.

And finally... Justine and I are excited for our upcoming Vacation! Disneyworld! We'll be there for both of our birthdays, and we are super stoked. Pictures will be posted upon return.

Names + Weight Loss + Daily Comic

2009-06-12T12:42:00.000-07:00

When it comes time to have a kid, I am thinking "Andy Scott Skaggs" is a perfect name. Their initials would be: ASS. They would be great bowlers.

I am trying to lose some weight. I bought a scale to track the progress. I tried to do some sit-ups this morning, I hurt my back, and ended up dry-heaving over the toilet. That's Day 1...

I've been keeping up with a Daily Comic for 2 months now. When I get a good amount of quality strips, I am going to create a Zine!

MTG Grand Prix

2009-06-01T13:15:00.000-07:00

I decided to head to the Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix at the Tacoma Convention Center this weekend. It was a REALLY good time... lots of people showed up, and everybody there was in a great mood. I haven't played in a MTG tournament for several years, and never anything this competitive. I threw a deck together the day before the competition, and got STOMPED!

Think I am joking about getting beaten? CHECK THIS OUT... Round 5, second to last table. But, this was round 5... most people have dropped out at this point who hit the 3-loss mark, but I was playing for fun.

Here is the deck I used:

Lands (23)
4 Rugged Prairie
12 Mountain
7 Plains

Creatures (8)
4 Hostility
4 Balefire Liege

Spells (29)
4 Austere Command
4 Oblivion Ring
4 Incinerate
4 Flame Javelin
3 Shock
3 Volcanic Fallout
3 Puncture Blast
2 Banefire
2 Shard Volley

Sideboard (15)
4 Path to Exile
4 Unwilling Recruit
4 Holy Day
3 Dispeller's Capsule

So many tech difficulties, it is making me crazy.

Twin Peaks Final Thoughts

2009-05-14T16:42:00.000-07:00

Justine and I finished watching Twin Peaks last night. I loved the series... fell in love with the characters, but the final episode left a sour taste in my mouth. Mr. Lynch, I know you were upset with the network for many reasons, but the series ended hurting the fans more than anything.

My friend, Ryan, let me borrow the DVDs, and I was a little hesitant to start the series, but it was totally worth it. The unique character development, the original style, and the intense storylines makes Twin Peaks worth watching... but, you have to be committed to watch it from beginning to end.

And, for those of you in Washington, you are really close to where the show was filmed! Many of the landmarks and locations are still standing today.

The Lucky Coin

2009-05-04T01:49:00.000-07:00

If anyone wanted to watch a higher quality, please let me know! I got DVDs!

I just got back from an Ellensburg Weekend, and had a great time! On the way back, we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls.

Movie Racing - Final Thoughts

2009-05-01T10:28:00.000-07:00

Last night was the premiere of the 2009 Film Race movies. It was held in a packed theater in Capital Hill, and everyone there was in a great mood. It was really interesting to see what the other teams came up with using the same theme (Superstitious) and action (swallowing a pill).

Overall, I feel ours landed somewhere in the middle of the pack in regards to quality. The audience laughed at the funny parts, and cheered at the end. I felt kinda weird giving an unprepared speech afterward, and my enthusiasm most likely came off as sounding like a jerk.

At the after party, it was pretty neat talking to the different directors and crew from the various films. Met a few interesting folks, and had a good time.

The bottom line: The experience of creating an entire short film project in less than 24 hours was definitely fun, challenging, and a great chance to learn. I wouldn't mind doing this again next year.

2 scripts!

2009-04-25T04:25:00.000-07:00

it is almost 4:30am, and I just wrote 2 scripts for the film race. which one should i use? the lucky coin, or i'm your boogeyman?
