Interesting linky

I was sent this link in an email. Interesting stuff.

More later. I don't feel like writing anything tonight.

Sunday.

So, it's Sunday here at Stately PartsGuy Manor.

I'm feeling sorta domestic today, so I'm taking a break from cleaning to throw up this lil post.

As of 3/17, I'm Uncle PartsGuy yet again, another PartsNephew!! W00t!!

Went over and got some pics for PartsDad 'n emailed 'em off, all's well there. I'd forgotten to remind them of the #1 PartsGuy Rule for Babysitting, which is this:

I do NOT babysit until they're toilet trained. Uncle PartsGuy does NOT, repeat, NOT change diapers of any child he wasn't involved in the production of. Period. It's a good rule, works for me.


You'll notice under the Linkies section, I've put up a couple more. One's for Dad Gone Mad, which I found while surfing aimlessly. This guy is SERIOUSLY funny. I read through the archives and laughed like hell more than once. That's good for a link in my book.

The second link is for Richard Cheese and his band, Lounge Against The Machine. This band does lounge style covers of various tunes by Disturbed, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and others. You may think it's stupid, but to play the tunes they do lounge style takes some SERIOUS musicianship. Download the Jimmy Kimmel Show appearance, and you'll see what I mean. Also good for a link in my book.


And now, housework calls. At least after I'm done here, I can go tinker with the PartsMobile for a little bit. Maybe I'll even get ambitious and go wash it too.

More later after dinner, unless I fall asleep in my chair.

So, yeah. life ain't too bad.

I started a different position at my shop this week. It's kewl. I deal with wholesale customers from 8-5 M-F. It's WEIRD to leave work without closing the shop down. WEIRD. Hell, it's odd leaving work while it's still daylight out!!!

I'm adjusting nicely, though. ;)

So, I went out and bought Black the day it came out. GREAT game. The only complaint I have is about the LOOOOOOOONG opening credits that you can't bypass. I've since taken to starting the game, then running to the bathroom or something while it loads. I'm not very good at video games, matter of fact, I usually end up getting my clock cleaned by some 8 year old kid. Still fun, though. I ended up taking my PS2 to a buddy's place one night, and we took turns going through sections of the game. Fun.


I'll post some more crap later this week, probably.

'Black' is here!!

So, after work Tuesday, UN and I headed out to Applebee's for some dinner type consumables, then over to the Evil Empire, doing our part to keep the local economy going.

Our server had a VERY cute lil tushie. The rest of her wasn't bad either.

I know. I'm a dirty old man. Sue me.

Anyways.

So after that, off to the Evil Empire. This was one of the FEW times I regretted selling my Jeep, as there was a fun looking lil hill covered with snow that would have provided us with a shortcut.

I may have to acquire a lil Blazer or something for just that purpose. We'll see.

Anyways, I picked up my copy of Black, and after some wandering around, we headed back to Stately PartsGuy Manor, and I put the game on my desk for tonight when I'd have time to sit and play with it a bit.

Wow. This game is a HOME RUN. Tons of shooting stuff up, killing bad guys, and explosions galore!! It's especially awesome if you run your PS2's sound through a home stereo.

I finished up the session by getting killed, and immediately emailed some buds telling them to get this game. IT'S THAT GOOD.

If you like First Person Shooters, then you MUST get this.


I don't have anything else to say, so I shall skedaddle and get some sleep.

May the bluebird of happiness crap on your car.
