Got My Tickets
July 16th, 2008This is how unfair the universe is (or how petty my life has become, depending on how you view it). My roommate’s girlfriend rolls in a few days ago, all happy and joyful, and full of life. Upon inquiring about her jovial mood, she tells me that she’s already seen “The Dark Knight.” Yeah. This girl is not a dedicated fan of Batman comics, who knows little to nothing about the character who hasn’t spent hundreds of dollars on animated series episodes, comics, and toys, and doesn’t even know the origin of Two-Face. But SHE’S the one that gets to see the advance screening of the new film.
Where’s the justice in that?
In response to this, I promptly bought my ticket to the midnight show nearest me, even though I have to get up early the next morning, go to work, then drive down to Austin for an RX Bandits show, and stay up late there… I think it’s obvious to everyone that I made the right call.
Whew! I’ve got a crazy weekend ahead of me… should be the best weekend ever.
Also, today’s joke might be the worst, or best joke ever…

Best AND worst joke ever. Best AND worst decision ever. I just want to congratulate you on the enormity of your success.
See you tomorrow at midnight.

i hate you, i really do…

Mike, I think you clearly have prioritized your life well….AND poorly.
Joe Punchface…I was talking to Mike this weekend. I asked him who you are and he told me (it tooks SEVERAL drinks of “fruit punch” though). I just wanted to say “Hi.” This is the Chris B. from DCC.

Brit?!?!? What is up dude! How have you been? What are you doing here?!?! Do you know Hankins or are you just an honest fan of this wheels-off strip?

Hankins and I served at Bent Tree together in the youth group while he was an intern here. He introduced me to the genius-ness of “Dorm Dorks”.
He also gave me a few bass lessons before his frustration at my elementary ability became too much and he kicked me out, muttering something about “scales” and “playing in position”.
J/K…I was too lazy/busy (take your pick) to practice so I ended our sessions.

I like that you guys are becoming BFF again… but do we really have to make me look so mean in the process?
Sad face…
Chris, you’re good at bass, stop acting like you’re not — plus, you have that Spider-Man bass, which automatically gives you better skills.

Mike, it wasn’t my intent to bring about the sad face…I apologize.
Thanks for the compliment regarding my playing. I would like to be much better however. I’m sure most musicians feel that way. Of course, it really would help if I practiced in order to get better…but I’d rather read “Dorm Dorks” and play X-Box right now.

I support this decision. If it makes you feel better, I don’t really practice anymore either.
And when I say, “really,” I mean “ever, at all.”

Good…then we are in agreeance.
(I hate that non-word.)
July 17th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
yes. Agreeification has been achieved. Now we are in unison (get it? a music joke, since we were talking about bass playing!)

Nice! Whenever someone (or a group of someones) makes a music joke, you know that you are dealing with true “band dorks.” Sometimes it’s good to know that you are in harmony with those around you.

I welcome all forms of Dork, band dorks, gaming dorks, comic dorks, all are welcome at the dork table.
