My last day at work was one week ago today. What I never mentioned this? Yeah, well with everything else going on it seemed to be so small.
In any case, I’m looking for a new job. Hopefully in the graphics area, but money is money and I’m gonna need it soon. If you happen to know of some folks looking for help with design (shirts, web and print) shoot me an email at thysay@gmail.com.
One more thing, I’m NOT against moving somewhere else to work.
So this week hasn’t been the best week in history, but hopefully that’s about to change starting with tonights Arsonist Radio Show.
Expect the usual stupidity and good music. That means no Paris Hilton. Most of all expect three or four friends getting together to hang out and talk about anything that pops into their heads.
Arsonists start at 8 with a special lead in show from Albee at 7pm central.
My dear friend BenC lost his mother to cancer this morning. It has been an up and down battle since everyone found out, but now she’s at peace.
My deepest sympathies go out to him and his family.
Tonight! It only happens once! The second Arsonist show ever.
8pm Central.
Click "Listen" on the upper right side of www.arsonistradio.com to hear it broadcast in brilliant MONO!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
I like a wide variety of music. Anyone who knows me knows that. One genre I’ve never gotten into is Black Metal (AKA Viking Metal). Maybe I just don’t get “IT”. What I do get is how fucking ridiculous these people look trying to be “Evil”. Back when I had another blog I came across The Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pictures and thought it was briliant. Low and behold, they’ve done it again… and some how I missed it, but here it is (The Other) Top 10 Most Ridickulous Black Metal Pictures (Yeah, I misspelled it… you’ll see).
I’ve never understood the I look mean/evil/satanic because I wear mime makeup idea.
So it’s been 1 whole week since I moved onto the Lancaster’s couch and so far, so good.
I missed the Detroit Cobras due to lack of sleep catching up to me. I also missed put on a trip to the Purple Church the same night. Oh well, I pretty much feel like this guy when it comes to strip clubs.
The first Arsonist Radio show went off without many hitches… hit the page Thursday around 8pm central and click listen.
Work has been weird, slow, but busy… still no doodles though.
All in all things seem to be getting back to normal and that’s good.
Tune in next time to see if I actually have a date or something.
Waste time with these:
Dragons and Airplanes (via Drawn!) Check out the Dragon and Making of Dragon vids.
Radio David Byrne After two months of country Pop is up for a month of play.
So I got moved… all of it. Thanks to the friends who helped; the Lancasters and BenC.
I’m sooooo fucking sore right now. My out of shape ass went up and down enough steps last night to last me a lifetime. (Note to self: Try to find a place without steps to live in next time) Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting over being sore about the time I move again in a few weeks or so. I’m thinking of saving the money up to have someone else move me.
Alright, so, here’s the deal, Lancaster and I got 95% of my stuff moved yesterday… and he definitley lived up to his nickname. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Bionic-J. (I’m now going to await my pending Oscar win for my role in Brokeback Mountain for that last part.)
Anyway, I’ve got that last 5% to get done not to mention cleaning the apartment. Now, I’m basically needing a couple of extra hands, but a vehicle would be even better. I’ve got a few bags of things for a goodwill/salvation army drop off, my kitchen and bathroom. Then the odds n’ ends left over.
If you are willing to help give me a call or drop me a message here. I’ll buy ya dinner or fill up your gas or whatever. I think with some help everything other than the cleaning can be finnished by 8-8:30.
Thanks in advance.
I haven’t had a chance to post very much lately. I’ve been working on a number of things all at once and it’s not gonna end anytime soon.
I’ve been doing a lot of work on Arsonist Radio, getting the site moved to a new server, converting it to wordpress and working on rough ideas for a new look. Also, this past weekend I came across a program called SAM Broadcaster 3. It really seems to be what we are needing to do the broadcasts… updates pages, broadcasts artist and title, does playlists, etc. It’s a little steep ($200), but in the end I think it will be worth it. Also on the Arsonist front, I looked into music licensing and streaming hosts so we can play what we want to to many more folks without the risk of being sued. I’ll probably get the licensing stuff underway this week and see how our first few shows go once we go live with it in February.
So on top of that stuff, I’ve got to move… This weekend I’ll be renting a storage area and putting most of my belongings up for a while as I stay with Bionic-J and his family for a bit. Sooooo, if there is anyone out there that has a truck and would like to volunteer an afternoon or evening I could use it to move the big things… bed, tv, desk. Most of the other stuff I can get with my car.
In getting ready to move, I started transfering all of my DVDs to a hardshell case. That is a chore that will be continued tonight. In any case, I have a lot of decent amaray cases that are gonna be thrown away in the next few days, so if you want any get ahold of me thysay{at}gmail.com. Also, if you have any of my movies… let me know so I can make a space for it in the case.
Here are a few good links to check out…
Nice walkthrough for making a comic. via Drawn!

Zombies, Man zombies
Anyone who listened to the Old DFH: Liquor Cabinet show will remember this. thanks Langley
This may be a bit premature, but here we go…
I think I see an end to my money rut and it’s coming up fast. This is partly due to my tax refund being more than expected and a big part to moving into the Bionic house for a little while. Not only does that last part help out with finances, it also helps with my living situation. That means I have a little while longer to find the “right” place to live and I get out of the pit I’m in now one month earlier. Staying with them will allow for me to get all of the things wrong set right and I’ve been worrying about that for a while now.
Thanks to everyone that offered places to stay, shower or hang out. I appreciate it more than you know.
Also on the positive side of things, Mom is getting better. She’s getting her strength and appetite back more and more each day. One more test to go and we’ll know if there is to be anymore.
Thanks to everyone for their kind words, prayers and thoughts for that.
Arsonist Radio is quickly approaching so I need to get on a new site design and some extra goodies for the interaction with the audience. This might have to take place after the start of the show with all of the moving and stuff that is taking place around the same time.
Check out Point Blank Thoughts and leave some kind and encouraging words for BenC who is going through a rough time right now.
There ya have it. Things seem to be on the upswing for me… finally!
UPDATE: The test is back for my Mom and they have determined that it’s not lung cancer and the person who diagnosed it at the other place is an insensitive prick that isn’t worth the money he makes.
What’s Happenin’ at Arsonist Radio
