Just a note to self and others:
As of today, I no longer design pages to look good in all browsers. Anything I make will look great in IE4+ or NS6+. If you have a non-standards compliant browser (especially NS4), you should try to upgrade. If you have a Mac or PC, I would suggest Internet Explorer 5.5. If you own a Unix/Linux/Sparc machine, try Netscape 6.1.

Me: Well it won't be the first time that a song has been written about child abuse...
Miss E: What are you talking about?
Me: Cus they have that lyric, you know, "I'm shakin' a baby now...shakin' a baby....twist and shout..." and so on. It's disgusting really.
Miss E: Uhh....you know that the song is called Shake it up, baby, right?
Me: What? Really?

(later that week...Depeche Mode plays in background)

Miss M: I love this song!
Me: Ahh...me too...
Miss M: (sings along) "...surfing on a sea of truth...
Me: Uhh...you know that the song is called Policy of Truth, right?
Miss M: What? Really?
Me: Shake it up baby!
Miss M: SHUT UP!

Know of a common (or uncommon) lyrical misunderstanding? Have an embarassing karaoke story? Share with me (and the world). Send it on in! I will post it here for the world to laugh at. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Other than ending two sentences in a row with prepositions. Who ever sends in the best one will get a mix CD made by me with love, with a copy of the song you fucked up to remind you how not to sing along. Names will be changed to protect the ignorant.

Those darn internet presales can be a blessing or a curse. Sometimes you just aren't able to sit at a computer and click refresh ad infinitum until Ticketmaster decides to throw you a bone. On the other hand, sometimes you can be just that obsessive about a concert. In this case, a blessing!

Two tickets, Tori Amos, Oct 30th, New Orleans, LA, 5th row, center, mine.

I have been so distracted the last few days that I forgot to mention that this site is one year old. Thanks to everyone who has read it, and thought less of me afterwards. It is a labour de amor.

So my friend Justin's band, the bLush, played last night. They have this song that they play right before their bad covers of "TV Eye" and "20th Century Boy" where Justin puts down his guitar and picks up a mouth harp. I like to call it the Donkey Song since the harmonica part goes hee haw hee, hee haw hee haw hee hee...hee hee haw, hee haw hehaw hee hee heeeiiii. Actually I think those are the official lyrics.

I also got to see a bunch of people I haven't seen for a while. Scott and Missy were there as was Abe, who kicked me in the face.

Favorite search engine hit of the day: "pics from man who always shirtless in music video."

Another Saturday night spent huddling up close with my hardware abstraction layer. Actually, I went to a pretty good show tonight, and took some pictures. I will have a review & some pictures up as soon as Windows 2000 recognizes my CD-RW.

Not too many so far, but I put up a few pictures of a lil' hike that I took with my uncle and Sonia before I left California.

Here they are...

For everyone who still accesses this page through treymanthey.com/net/org, please switch your bookmarks to dephex.org. I am not going to pay my domain renewal fees (I got those names as a promotional offer), so they will caput in about a month. On the bright side, you can then go register those domains and pretend to be me!

I am sitting at home right now, waiting for the UPS man to come. I am expecting my new 22" monitor any minute. I have officially upgraded to uber-geek status with a triple monitor setup. Additionally, I am planning a computer overhaul tonight/tomorrow, so if I don't show up 'round here for a while, you know I fucked up.

Whoa, Nelly? Hmm...I guess this would be considered hip-hop (a genre which has never really ventured near my music collection, unless you count Rage Against the Machine). Nevertheless, I can't help but listen to her album, not to mention the single Turn Off the Light, on repeat. But that bird song pisses me off to no end.

Some might say that I am unbreakable in the Bruce Willis sense of the word, since I haven't been sick since my sophomore year of high school. I would rather be violently ill than have to deal with this half-sickness bullshit. I was so restless/lethargic last night that I didn't get in bed until 6am. Surprise! I missed my first class on the first day back to school. Not to mention I am having to deal with the issue of on campus parking now, as well as the crappy ass weather. I don't recognize anyone on campus. I have no friends. In summary, I am feeling like an old man.

But Melissa is pretty cool.

You know what really pisses me off? When the Toadies break up...
