Sighting...!

Currently listening to: "s(AINT)" by Marilyn Manson

Rob & Sheri Zombie crossed the street right in front of me while I was on my way into work yesterday! I took it as a sign and felt that after that the day would be good...interestingly enough, I was also wearing a Total Skull (Mrs. Zombie's clothing line) shirt underneath my work clothes at the time...I chose to wear that that morning because I thought it would bring me good luck that day...and it did...and I had a keen day at work!

The 'bord is Down!

Currently listening to: "Banshee" by Mercyful Fate



Well, today, 06/26/2006, marks the end of the Visual Smorgasbord. I had started the VS so people who read my Bits & Pieces blog would have a place to go where I would put pictures that either I took or found on the internet (mostly the latter). Seeing as how I've barely had enough time to update my main blog as of late, I don't see any point in trying to carry on with the 'bord...which I update even less than B&P... I'll just post up pictures within my regular blog from here on out...like a normal blogger...

Keep rockin' folks...

Trivia for Squiggle #58

Currently listening to: "Foxy, Foxy" by Rob Zombie

Here is the long overdue Trivia for Squiggle #58! Is it wrong that #1450 makes me chuckle a little?...and in that regard, I should be laughing at myself as I ran into a 'window' once (a sliding glass door). It was late, I was tired, the glass was very clean and clear...and there were people inside smoking close to the door which kind of made it hard to see any glare in the glass that would've alerted me to the fact that there was a closed glass door there...um, yeah...moving on...

13 Days Later...

Currently listening to "School's Out" by GWAR (Alice Cooper cover)

...I make my (not-so) triumphant return to the land of Blogger.com.

It's been thirteen days since 6-6-06...the dark lord didn't come up from the underworld to wreak havoc, the dead didn't rise from their graves, the world didn't end, etc...or maybe all those things happened and I've just been too busy to notice. Work's been uber-busy, but now that it is the week of Licensing Show things will be a little more mellow for the rest of the summer...supposedly... When not at work I've either been playing Warcraft, Guitar Hero, or watching "24" on DVD...and for some reason not really logging on to the internet when I'm at home...

And I'm currently switching out the movie quotes thing from the bottom of each post to a "Currently listening to" at the top of each post...so you can all see what may or may not influence each post you read here at Bits & Pieces!...or rather because I'm feeling kinda lazy...

While you're all eagerly awaiting a new (and long overdue) Trivia for Squiggle (should be up tomorrow), play some Hangaroo!
