Man, lol. Almost a
year later. Ok well I haven't done much.
Haven't played shows. Haven't gone anywhere cool.
Haven't had any of my music in awesome movies.
Haven't hit any glorious jackpots.
My life got pretty bad
actually. I couldn't find a job after I lost mine
almost a year ago. I eventually had to move home
to my mom's. Lol, I know, it's pathetic. But
for all the job hunting I did down in the cities (put
out over 125 resumes, went from store to store around my
apartment, went to all kinds of other stores around the
area), I moved up here and put in an application on
Thursday and the manager called me and hired me on
Friday morning. WTF, Minneapolis?
Well, without having to
pay rent or bills it's all been profit, and I've been
using that profit to fix the bad shit in my life.
Got my fines paid off finally and got my license back.
Got my car fixed, needed an alternator, a battery, and a
new muffler. Needs new tires and a new sunroof
(the glass part broke off at the front while I was
driving, swung over like it was on a hinge, and smashed
across the top of my roof, so now I can't drive it when
it rains. LOL, it's like I live in a sitcom or
something...), but at least it runs well. Had some
bad teeth, got them fixed. Had some school loans
in default, cut them in almost half. Got some
other small things taken care of, things that you don't
even think of when you're starving to death because
you're poor. Things like: a new pillow, had
the same one for 10 years. New shoes, new clothes,
new keyboard, new mouse, new winter coat, and other
shit.
So anyways, I'm doing
pretty awesome now. Things are actually pretty
great. Moving home was one of the best things that
could have happened to me. Thanks mom!
I work overnights at my
new job, the only place open in a city of 3000 people.
It's really freakin boring, but I get paid to do
nothing, so whatever! After searching for almost 4
months straight I'd take shoveling shit in a circus.
I didn't care. I settled for another gas station
job. Yah, it's for a corporate-owned franchise,
and there's just a shitload of dumb little things they
do that's different from my old job, a ton of paperwork
for everything, but all in all it's a job and it works
for right now.
"Please Insert Me" - yes,
after almost 4 years of having this thing done I am
finally going to release it in 10 days. I have
used ReverbNation to get it onto 44 different websites
for sale and streaming. I have upgraded my
SoundCloud so I could have all the tracks up. I
plan to advertise it on FaceBook. I also am going
to send the single "That's The Sound" to radio stations.
I don't know the first thing about advertising or hype.
I'm not going to get physical CDs right away, it's going
to be all digital until I can afford it. I hope
it's going to be a good "summer album" for people.
Many, many people who have heard the rough cut of it
said they loved it. Several friends on FaceBook
have already said they are going to buy it. Beyond
that, crossing my fingers!
At the beginning of the
year I contacted Dustin Duffy to help me finally finish
it, and he was very nice and tolerant of my constant
"could you increase the volume on this .2 decibels" and
"could you extend the silence of the end of this track
by 1.5 seconds." LOL, I'm surprised he didn't just
tell me to go fuck myself after the first week.
But we finally got it done! I sent him my next
album "Me And You" for him to listen, he seemed to like
it. It's still very very rough and needs a lot of
work, but I hope to maybe release it at the end of 2013
or the beginning of 2014.
Updating this website
right now. Changed a ton of things, added a ton of
things, it's a whole new site! New download
buttons for songs, new songs uploaded to the quicklist,
new pages for new endeavors like 2puppets, Precious
Metals, The Freestyle Show, Dungeon Hunters, and others.
I went through these news pages and found that all my
links on them for the old posts were still in javascript
popup code, and I have since gone to target="_blank" to
popup new windows, so they didn't work. So I fixed
those. I also fixed some broken links like the
links to the old Restraining Hollywood website which is
now done by somebody else and has completely changed
from when I did it. I also added some small notes
of things that changed since I originally wrote the
update.
My FaceBook, SoundCloud,
Youtube, ReverbNation and Pinterest are doing very well,
better than they ever were last year. My Zazzle
store almost did 5 times the profits last
November-December than from the previous year, and,
except of March maybe, I've pretty much doubled or
tripled all sales from 2012 each month. Not bad
=)!
Had to start over on the
music video for "Defloration", but my computer is
showing it's age and I need an upgrade. Adobe
Premiere keeps freezing up on me, so I don't think I can
do anything video-wise until that happens.
Made several new songs for
"Me And You" and updated several old ones. It's
still rough but coming along nicely.
Been addicted to Star Wars
Galactic Battlegrounds, a game over 12 years old.
Why can't I stop playing this old shitty game?
It's just too damn fun.
I made a bunch of mixes
called BattleStations. They are up on this site
now.
All in all, I'm happy with
where my life is right now, how much I've completed over
the last 8 months since moving home, and I'm just
gushing with anticipation over the new album and where
my music is going. I'm hoping 2013 is my year!
DJ.SkagNetti Has
Done Some Stuff
or..
I need to get on this more often...
Sunday,
July 1st, 2012
Man, I just have a hard
time doing updates. Well, let's see, I've done
quite a lot since my last post below. Still get
sidetracked haha.
Please Insert Me - man, I
really need to get on that. Dustin Duffy of Apis
Records (the guy who is mastering it) did finish
mastering it, but he lost the notes I made for the final
cut, and we need to go through it again. We did
drive to Wisconsin together and we listened to it on the
way, it was almost perfect! That's The Sound
really stood out, it was excellent. There were a
few minor changes that were needed but the dang thing is
almost almost almost.... I realize I sound like a broken
record, and to tell you the truth I haven't been really
that focused on getting this thing done. In the
post below I said I was serious, obviously I wasn't.
I just have so much going on. I'm on facebook,
then I'm on zazzle, then I'm really into a game and play
for ages (Skyrim sucked up a huge chunk of time late
last year and again this year after mods started coming
out for it), then I'm editing video, cleaning up
websites, making artwork, making new songs, chasing a
girl (usually ending in failure), playing in Precious
Metals, Kodiak Sessions, and more! Well, here's
how it breaks down:
FaceBook - I met a slew of
people mid last year through a girl who came through
where I worked. I made a group called Celebrating
the VSUs (Vague Status Updates), they all joined, and we
are all pretty great friends now, having regular parties
where we all get together and have fun. The group
copies and pastes our friend's vague status updates
(leaving out their name, of course) and we laugh at
them.
Here is a bunch that I put on my WordPress.
I also started a few other
groups: Bad Album Covers - where you pick a random
wikipedia article (band name), a random flickr picture
(cover art), and a few words from a random quote (album
title) and then put them all together in photoshop to
make a random album cover. Pretty great results.
The Ultimate Most
Awesomest - It was kind of a social experiment - Add all
my friends, give the group a vague title and don't tell
them what to post or what to do in it, and just see what
they do. It's kind of turned into a reddit or
toned down 4chan b, lots of macro posts and links to
youtube videos, and the group just continues to grow.
Pretty happy with the results.
Uploading Stupid Pictures
and Tagging Val Kilmer In Them - basically, you upload a
picture (any picture) and then tag Val Kilmer in it
(anywhere.) Hilarity ensues.
Zazzle - I now have 8
stores. My main store does pretty well, it could
always do better, but I'm surprised at how much I sell
out of it, not being a clip art expo, lame holiday
cash-in garbage or wedding invitation bonanza. I
got banned from the forums for some reason, like my
whole ip got banned, not just my account... of course
they didn't tell me why, but everyone in those forums
are assholes anyways, so fuck it. My stores are
all listed on the Links page. Check em out and buy
something - I'm unemployed and hurting for cash!
Unemployment - My boss
hired a new manager who took my dayshift job, put me on
nightshift, cut my hours, antagonized me, yelled at me,
and was generally an asshole so I would quit. I
didn't quit because I realized he was goading me just so
I would blow up at him and then he'd have a reason to
fire me. So I played along, frantically looking
for another job in the meantime. Then, out of the
blue, he fired me, citing "I wasn't doing enough work."
Bullshit, I did as much work as everyone else, I worked
at that place for 7 fucking years, I knew it inside and
out, I ran the dayshift by myself for 3 years.
They just wanted everybody out so they could bring in
their friends, one big asshole family. So now I'm
looking for a job but just can't seem to find one.
Really hurting for money, luckily my family and friends
are helping me out a bit. Hopefully something
happens soon, as I'm pretty behind on rent and
everything else.
I've played a few games
over the last year, and picked up a few old ones and got
hooked again. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is
so much fun still, couldn't believe how much I missed
that game. Sins of a Solar Empire, Elemental War
of Magic (despite it crashing every 5 minutes), Kindoms
of Amalur Reckoning (Amazing game), Skyrim (played to
death, can't even look at it anymore) and recently,
since I can't buy Diablo 3 because I'm poor, I started
playing Titan's Quest again, although I'm a 4th of the
way through Epic mode and have burnt myself out again.
Got the Witcher 2, I played it last year and thought it
was pretty fun (and damn hard) and burnt myself out on
it, but now a new version has come out and I'm thinking
of getting back into it.
Beyond that I started a
ReverbNation just this past month, pretty cool site!
I made a SoundCloud for Agent Empire and also made a
website with a playlist of all the songs (haven't
released that album either.) I have released
several new songs through DJ.Skagnetti, but music with
me right now is hit or miss, kind of feel like I lost
that old magic. Sometimes I go months without
making a song and then make like 5 in a row. Or I
start one and then hit a wall and don't know what to do
with it, so I start another. I have about 50
unfinished songs, but don't know what to do with them.
Some are pretty good, I have them up on SoundCloud and
ReverbNation, check em out.
Playlist.com decided for
some reason to make playback only available on their
website, so no more auto playing playlist on the
frontpage. People can still click on it and go
there, just isn't the same though. So I'm starting
to look for something else.
Started a FaceBook FanPage
for DJ.Skagnetti. Also got on Pinterest, Google +,
and some other social networking sites. All links
to my stores and websites are under Links, all social
media sites are under Social. Check em out, friend
me or whatever their variation is.
Made a commercial for my
Zazzle store, using one of my newer songs, well parts of
it at least. My music plays while artwork in the
store changes to the beat. Used Adobe Premiere cs4
to edit it. Check it out.
Started making a music
video for Defloration, it's coming along well, but I may
have to start over because I screwed up the initial size
ratio.
Made a video for my friend
Esten, who's in Precious Metals with me. He
recorded it and recorded the audio and I just put them
together in Premiere for him. Turned out pretty
good.
Check it out.
Precious Metals is coming
along nicely, we got a practice space by St. Paul and
try to meet every week at least once to jam. It's
great to be able to play all night and all day, as loud
as we want. Hopefully we will start playing shows
at the end of the summer. No songs up yet, but here's
our SoundCloud.
Got a SoundCloud for the
Kodiak Jam Sessions, edited some songs up and Dustin
Duffy put them up. Not bad. Check it
out.
Dustin and a guy by the
name of Evan LeFavor started a show called 2 Puppets,
which are 2 vulgar puppets who do a live Ustream show
almost every Saturday. It's pretty funny. I
haven't been to a couple of them, but when I do go I
usually play background music for the show. Evan
LeFavor is also a pretty amazing freestyler, so Dustin
and I jam out like in the Kodiak Sessions, he plays
something, I sample it and then he plays something else
and I sample it, mixing together the samples over a nice
sexy beat, and Evan raps over it. Never done
anything like it before, it's pretty fun to do. I
also called into the show once pretending to be David
Bowie, and we had a nice conversation.
Good times - Check out
the Ustream. This has both the 2Puppets
Live show and the Freestyle Jams.
Beyond that, just had a
lot of free time since I was fired, too much free time
to tell you the truth. Updated my site black-ogre.com,
and started updating this one (left a lot of things
unfinished.) Zazzled my face off for the first
couple months of the year and have burnt myself out on
that. They just keep adding products so I have to
keep going back and putting all my designs on the new
stuff. It's just time consuming, but nice to have
a big variety of products to sell. I have also
started redoing descriptions and tag words for all the
products. Facebooked my face off as well. I
spend entirely too much time on there. My free
WordPress got shut down because I was making too many
backlinks to my Zazzle store. A bullshit reason if
you ask me, kinda didn't really need it otherwise.
But, by a bizarre twist of luck, my hosting service
Powweb, whom I have been with since black-ogre.com's
inception back in 2002, offers a free WordPress hosting,
so I transferred all my files to that and now I can put
up whatever the fuck I want. It's also easier for
me to put up artwork because it auto thumbnails
everything and I don't have to make new pages and 2
sizes of the picture for every picture I want to show.
So I have linked all my artwork links to my WordPress
now, it's divided into alphabetical sections because
there's just a ridiculous amount of artwork I've done
over the course of the last 10 years. Been going
on MySpace of all places to add friends lately rofl.
ReverbNation adds them to your pool of overall fans and
it helps with your ranking (currently I'm #11 in
Minneapolis for Electronica), so I've been adding a
bunch because it's a lot easier now than it was 7 years
ago. Myspace took away my uploading privileges
after I downloaded a bunch of youtube videos and put
them up under my djskagnetti2 profile. After
getting flagged one too many times that was it, but the
thing that sucks about it is that you couldn't upload
music either, not just videos. So I couldn't even
use the music profile for what it was intended, it was
pretty worthless to me then. So I made another,
djskagnetti4. That's why I have 2 myspace music
profiles. I'm actually pretty sure I have a
djskagnetti3 as well, but I have looong since forgotten
the password and don't even bother. Man that was a
long time ago. Anyways, I recently found out I can
upload music again to the djskagnetti2 music profile, so
testing the waters, put up about 6 songs about a day
ago, one made it through but the rest say "Processing"
still.
Oh, and I did finally
release an album - Traitor of the 9 Moons.
Download it for free now! Check it out.
So yah, don't call it a
comeback, I've been here for years. Just not
necessarily updating this site, or, you know, actually
finishing anything I started, but I'm still here.
The Sidetrack King, ladies and gentlemen! But I am
Hoping that we get Please Insert Me released soon, maybe
in the fall of this year? And the Agent Empire,
and my next album (I'm thinking an EP called Me and
You), and Precious Metals, and Kodiak Jams, that stuff
should all be released soon too, and I'd really like to
get a premium account at Track and Field so I can try to
sell my music, too. And I need a girlfriend rofl!
I dunno, I need a job bad, so everything is on hold
until I get my shit straight. Until then, have a
fantastic one, ok seeya!
DJ.SkagNetti
returns from the dead
or..
Welcome back, Skagger
Saturday,
March 5th 2011
Hey, hey, everybody!
I'm back! Well, I never left, but I haven't really
done anything with this website until now. I'm
totally redoing the whole thing. I started doing
it last year but then I got sidetracked!
Man, it's been a long time
since I updated this news section! The entry below
was about March 2009! I'm going to start dating
these.
Damn...Well, I did finish
Please Insert Me, and it's almost done being mastered!
I should probably release it very very soon! This
time I'm serious!
I worked on another album
all last year, on and off, it is almost done too, so
maybe in 5 years I'll release that one ROFL.
I got hooked on Zazzle!
I'm a creating machine! Check out my store if you
get a chance =)
Agent Empire still on
hold, need a song redone. I don't know if we will
ever release it. Would be cool, though.
Joined a new band called
Precious Metals. It's really cool, we've been
working on a lot of music. I play a Roland
keyboard and also do some stuff on a chaos pad.
It's fun learning new gizmos and working outside a
computer for a while, learning all kinds of tricks.
Jamming with Dustin Duffy,
we've recorded maybe 14 hours worth of music? We
call them the Kodiak Sessions.
So yah, I see it as you
don't hear anything about me for 2 years and then all of
a sudden you are bombarded with music until your face
falls off. Enjoy it when it hits!
DJ.SkagNetti
ripples the water
or..
Ignore me until I go away!
I just don't get some
people. It's crazy how we're all different, but the
same.
February was a bad month
for me. We had to pay a bunch of fees for various
reasons, and I was really strapped for cash. Then my
car got towed after that big snowstorm at the end of
February, and I had to pay 280 bucks more.
Beyond all that, it gets
even worse. i was seeing this girl and her birthday was
on valentine's day. i know, right? but it went well,
until this guy broke out this 18% beer that tasted like
whiskey. I got just rediculously wasted and the room
was spinning and it was either pass out or throw up. i
passed out in her bed, and everyone was like who is that
guy in your bed, whats going on here? rofl i felt like
such an asshole, but couldn't help it. i definately
couldnt of driven home. anyways that wasnt such a big
deal. but a week later my 500 gig harddrive, a
harddrive that contained about 8 years of my life, died
inexplicably for no reason. just stopped working. i
tried to get it fixed, but they couldnt do it, so now i
have to take it to a cleanroom someplace and spend
500-1500 to get the data off it. Most of it i have
online or someplace else, but for all of my music, all
my reason and reason refills were on there, plus like a
billion other samples n things, i have all my save files
still, but they point to samples that were on drive F,
which is not there anymore, and thus i'm fuckoed.
now the girl who's
birthday was on valentine's day has disappeared it
seems. doesnt answer calls, doenst return calls, she
used to come through my work all the time, last week she
came through, she was distant, awkward, standoffish.
this week she didnt come through at all. came thru once
since and talked for like 10 seconds and left. i like
you a lot, Jess, but i don't know what you want me to
do. So i give up.
Well I do have some good
news - 'Please Insert Me' is completely finished and
being mastered right now (march 09.) It has 3 songs on
which I sing, 'That's The Sound', 'Sometimes People
Don't Get Better', and 'Drowning, Not Waving.' The rest
is very Daft Punkish, or a better one would be
Digitalism, if you know them. It's all over the place,
some glitch some ambient some just weird shit, but
mostly songs that really grab your attention and make
your brain melt.
DJ.SkagNetti needs
more lemon pledge
or..
Hey! it's later!
I just watched Hancock on
my computer. It's alright I guess. What a twist...
Yesterday was the 4th of
July, happy 4th of July. I went to work at 9 am with no
plans. Then my friend Esten was in town and he stopped
by. So we made plans to drink. Then my co-worker went
home sick. So I had to stay until 8pm. Then Chris
shows up around 6pm and tells me I've got a show to play
that night. Chris is the man who put together the 10
Second Film Festival. I had told him I wanted to do the
show a couple weeks ago, I was 100% behind it, but I had
no idea it was last night. I thought it was later in
July, like in the 20s. So he came and picked me and my
gear up at like 8:30, and we went over to cedar
riverside, to the Soap Factory. I set up and we waited
until the fireworks over the river were finished and I
pressed play. My job was 'pit band', when people won an
award for their 10 second film, I played music while
they came up to the stage. It was an awesome show, Ian
from Drinking With Ian was there mcing. Everyone was
drinking, laughing at the 10 second shorts that played,
and having a great time. All in all, there was 2500
people there, my biggest show to date. Fucking scary,
but 2500 more people now know the name Skagnetti.
But anyways I got my CDs,
100 of them, April 12th, almost 2 months ago now. I
sold out of CDs right away, almost 3 weeks after I got
them, then the second shipment got screwed up and was
missing for 3 weeks almost before I got them, almost all
of May. But I finally got them and have about half left
now, July 5th, 2008. I must say about the CD, the
artwork looks amazing, like a photograph almost.
Amazing color quality, not grainy at all. The CD is
just the way I wanted it too, all the right pauses, all
the right levels. I couldn't be more happier with it.
Please buy it at 28th and Lyndale Ave South or Treehouse
Records. Or online to the left. Thanks to everyone who
bought it! My next one is almost finished, and the
Agent Empire CD is almost finished as well.
We got a way better
condenser mic and decided to redo a lot of the vocals
for our Agent Empire songs. Everything sounds even more
amazing now. Vosa and I are hard at work getting this
bastard released.
I played that show I
mentioned below, the crazy experimental show, in
May, like I said I was going to. It was at the
Kitty Cat Klub in Dinkeytown. I opened for Tart and
Snowflakes. It was an awesome show, though I had a
few fuckups. O well
Didn't get on the
radio, though, because the station just got shut
down. I was hoping I could do that =(
On June 18th I played a
show at the 400 Bar with Nobot and HumanBoy. Was really
fun, wish more people would of came.
The alpine thing I placed
36th out of 500 bands, something like that, I need to
update this shit more often cause I forget these
things. But it was in the 35-38 range, and the number
of bands was 400-600, so there.
I just want to say thanks
to all the people who have bought my CD. I am in your
debt. Well not really, but I really really appreciate
it =)!!
Beyond that working on
Please Insert Me and Agent Empire disk 1 and doing skits
and backgrounds for Vosa's funk album, getting a tan and
shaving my head, buying pants. Pants!
Congrats to These Modern
Socks on releasing a really awesome album, I wish the
person who stole it from me would give it back.
Congrats to Chris and
everyone who was involved in the 10 Second Film
Festival. I know where I'm going every 4th from now
on. It was way fun!
Congrats to Christopher
McGuire on his new band. Sorry I missed your show man!
Congrats to me on having
my roommate move out! I hated that bitch.
Cops on offroading Segways

DJ.SkagNetti is on
the road to financial ruin!
or.. plz
buy my f'ing cd (when it comes out)
I uploaded and payed for
100 copies of Feels Like 0 tonight. It freaking took
forever but finally the time has come! 10 days
production, 7 days shipping - i dunno if i can wait that
long. I will be selling at Treehouse Records, Cheapo,
and hopefully The Loon Express in Minneapolis. I will
also get an online site going for it. Please buy my 62
minute EP for 7 dollars. It's the deal of the century!
Other things that are
new: I am up for being put on a mixtape produced by
Coast To Coast Mixtapes. Nothing solid yet, but they
want to use 'Defloration' which will be on my
forthcoming album. Its real fast punk techno. It will
burn you alive.
I will be on a local
internet radio show sometime in May. Further details
when i know further details.
Also in May: I will be a
part of a really weird music show. All really weird
experimental music, like me! =) more details when i
know more details.

or.. 'you
like me! you really like me!'
I just want to say
thanks for all the new friend requests I've received
on myspace. Thanks. There I've said it. O, and I
really like the new little mini comments you can
send with the request. It's pretty cool.
In other news, In Your
Face Kari! Also, thanks for giving me the flu =P!
I haven't been sick in 3 years, it was the worst 24
hours of my life!
I watched Juno, because
Diablo Cody is cute and I've been following her career
ever since she wrote a book about the strip club we both
worked at. She was before my time, I never met her, but
I heard she was pretty funny. Anyways I swear that
movie is about a girl I know named Lolly, who's
currently 19. Here's the cold hard facts: 1) It takes
place in Minnesota, 2) Both were pregnant at the age of
16, 3) The girl in the movie talks EXACTLY like her.
The same kind of sarcastic wry wit, rough and tumble I'm
one of the guys now but at the same time delicate and
kinda sad inside kind of ways about them. They moved
the same, talked the same way, about the same things,
liked music, except instead of the Stooges it was the
Beatles for Lolly, even at the end where they were
singing, the girl even sang like Lolly. strange
Anyways the movie was
pretty good. I didn't like the music, the kind of folky
softly sing-speak as many words as I possibly can in a
line in a verse kind of music. This kind of music makes
me want to fall asleep, just so I don't have to listen
to it anymore. Also, some critics compared it to Little
Miss Sunshine, where the little girl was way too smart
for just being a little girl. I could see the
similarities.
I also forgot to
mention before that I started another band with
another guy who's named Vosa. We called it Agent
Empire. I make kind of strange music, and he sings
all soul-like over it. Things have been working out
really good with it. Please check it out, click the
pic on the left.
Edit 2013: This
link used to go to the AE myspace page, and, now
that I have a page on this site specifically for AE,
I have redirected it there. You can still get
to the myspace page from that page.
Yah so I've watched a lot
of movies recently, catching up on a bunch of old ones I
missed on dvd or in theaters.
Man that Jackie Chan sure
can move!
Loose Change is a great
movie.
Apocalypto - crazy weird,
but awesome
Blood Diamond - my new
most favoritist movie i do believe
Tenacious D The Pick of
Destiny was pretty good! I love the little fat kid in
the beginning who was supposed to be Jack Black, he did
an awesome job.
Silent Hill was pretty
crazy
National Treasure Book of
Secrets was ok, not as good as the first. Nicholas
Cage's girlfriend in the movie looks exactly like a
Russian stripper I used to work with. Absolutely
gorgeous.
Hey even Spiderman 3 was
pretty good!
And I saw an old favorite,
the 2004 Dawn of the Dead, again. I love that movie,
perfect beginning, perfect setup, that movie is probably
as close to perfection in a zombie flick as you can
get. Suspense, Thrills, Gotchas!, Sadness, Loss,
Despair, Zombie Babies. That end of the world type shit
really gets me. Probably because the real end of the
world is nigh, and we can all feel it.
The Fast and the Furious
Tokyo Drift - meh....
The Italian Job - meh....
The Transporter 2 - meh....
Malibu's Most Wanted -
fucking terrible, but super hot black girl
I did see Cloverfield in
the theaters, that was a pretty facking good movie. I
loved Blair Witch, I saw it a year after it came out and
all the controversy blah blah blah it's fake, so I knew
it was fake n all when I saw it in the cheapster theater
in St. Cloud with damon and ethan. It still scared the
shit out of me. Cloverfield - not as scary, but sure
was awesome, the whole time you were like wtf is going
on, wtf is going to happen next? Most movies don't make
you feel like that anymore.
I know a guy who works for
this place, and he got me a 2.1 EXO Blue Sky monitor set
for like a 3rd of the price. I fucking love them!
Crystal clear, and bad ass looking, the sub shakes the
apartment building. No more fucked up levels. It rules
for watching movies too.
My fan makes a weird noise
when I start it up, like
EEEEErrrEEEEerrrrEEEEERrrrrrEEEEEEE then it runs fine
for a bit then it makes that horrible noise again, this
lasts for about 4 or 5 minutes until it gets up the
ambition to actually work well. It sounds like I'm
slowly sticking needles into a guinea pig. I started it
up at like 4 in the morning last night, I bet all the
neighbors were like, 'WTF!? It sounds like some
horrible ghost child who was murdered, wailing in the
night!'
