Joe Walsh is one of my favorite guitar players. The James Gang kicked major ass. In happy news, I finished my Christmas shopping yesterday.
I saw The Eagles a few years ago and hands down, Joe Walsh stole the show. They played all of their songs incredibly well, but sitting still the entire time. Then they played some James Gang tunes and Joe was running around the stage like Angus Young and shredding like hell on his guitar the entire time. It was awesome. I'd skip The Eagles and just see Joe Walsh after that.
Oh Sailor Jerry, you really hit the spot. I have a sneaking suspicion that between my friends birthday tonight, a Christmas party tomorrow night, and Christmas Eve on Monday, there is a very strong chance that I am going to be quite drunk for the next 4 nights in a row. By the way, has anyone else played Cards Against Humanity yet? I bought the game, the first expansion, and their Christmas themed pack recently and we're going to play it at our Christmas Party tomorrow night, I'm pretty excited about it.
One of my best friends works for Jim Beam and informed me that he will be bringing a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel for us to consume during the End of the World party that we are going to (yes I know its a day late, but still). 120 proof...its gonna be an interesting night. Of note, working for a liquor company seems to be the shit. His accessibility to alcohol is everything you think it would be. I work at an ad agency who handles the majority of the media for MillerCoors. We get quarterly beer shipments which is awesome. Basically we get X amount of cases and break them up however we like. And re-ups of Miller Lite and Coors Light periodically cause it goes fast. From what I've been told, its fairly similar at the client. They put in orders and get beer every so often. Oh, not the case at Beam. Both my buddy and another friend I know have 15-20 bottles of assorted liquor in their office that they are given to try, to have, or just for whatever. My buddy also is in charge of stocking their distribution wall. Basically in the whiskey department where he is, there is a display mocked up to look like a store shelf with a couple deep rows of all their brands. Well people just grab bottles off the wall sneakily and then he gets send up stock to replenish it with. Whatever is left over, he just gets to keep. He said he currently has about $750 worth of alcohol at his apartment that he accumulated over the last few months and is bringing home/giving out for the holidays.
I'm a little disappointed with the absence of Rock & Roll Christmas tunes. Have some Kinks Spoiler Some Greg Lake Spoiler Some Yes (or a couple of Yes members, anyway) Spoiler Some Wizzard Spoiler And some Jethro Tull Spoiler Merry Christmas TiBers and TiBettes!
So did any of you northerners watch your fellos canucks Christmas special? I'm watching it right now. Micheal Buble is dreamy.
Did Gary Glitter direct that commercial? How wrong is that and who the fuck threw the green light for it? Please tell me that's not for real.
Just got a Nexus 7 tablet. This thing is pretty baller, perfect size and works good. Also, the first totally touch screen device that I've owned, so this should be interesting.
I'm stuck. I'm kind of drinking, kind of surfing the net, kind of playing games online, kind of tired and feel like going to bed - but not enough to commit to any of it. What a waste of time. Maybe I'll try reading one of those "books" we have laying around here.
No pictures you say? Maybe I'll head down to the wood shed and rub up against the belt sander instead.
I always liked "It's like the internet, only made of wood." Or, it's those things kids today just seem to be "too busy" for. I guess picking out white-framed sunglasses at Hot Topic is a DefCon-4 priority.
Pint of beer and the Golden State Warriors are tipping off against Charlotte. I am in for the evening idiots.
Pinot grigio and an apocalypse party. It's good to be alive, folks. The inconceivably attractive firefighter here at the bar flogging calendars is an added bonus. Sweet baby Jesus, I love a man in uniform.
