Cpt. Morgan's 100. proof and diet ginger lime coke. Emptied my Evan 1783, and am sneaking some of my wife's rum- don't tell her.

Re: Fake Cancer

First off- Fuck cancer. It took two of NC State's best coaches, family friends, and my Mom. My youngest nephew was just found to have a neuroblastoma near his heart. The Dr. actually recommended a gofundme page. They are looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars of treatment ahead, even with insur...

What did you think? The wife has tickets to see her on Friday night in Chicago and I need to figure out whether I should try to find a baby sitter and tag along.

Re: Last Movie Watched

Watched the 4K restoration of Close Encounters of the Third Kind this afternoon. Probably been 10 years since I'd watched it, and the new restoration is beautiful! I was two when it came out, so this was my first time seeing it on a big screen, and it definitely still has the "wow" factor.

My condolences. My Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2000, and passed in 03. The hole in my heart is still large, but I've learned not to dwell on it.

Is it bad that I'm considering driving to visit a friend in Atlanta that weekend just to go to Athens and pick up some cans? I just can't stand for the duration of a Rock Show anymore, so no shows for me this year, but I NEED more Wes Freed in my life.

Just watched the video, and Cooley seems less angry than the album cut. Not a knock, just an observation.

Also- I love Conan. we usually put TBS on Big Bang to fall asleep, but more often than not, I wake up during his show and wind up finishing it. We get up early.
