September 2007
My Sunday dinner crew is out of town this weekend. No dice to throw, no random restaurant to visit, no movie and snacks for after.
I have no idea what to do with the free time.
Spin Magazine features The Dictators
The October issue of Spin Magazine is on the newstands now, featuring an homage to the 30th anniversary of 1977: “The Year Punk Exploded”
Andy Shernoff and Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators are part of the New York Punk Rock Reunion, along with other notable musicians of the era. Spin.com has posted bonus video footage of the news conference/photo shoot.
Ross says he...
That explains that
DawnOwar: You know you're in Spin magazine?
Ross The Boss: Yeah that '77 thing
DawnOwar: You forgot to mention it to me.
Ross The Boss: They did that a few months ago. I didn't know when it was coming out. I didn't go to the photo shoot. I'm writing new music with my German Metal band. I wasn't feeling very '77. Besides, I wasn't punk rock. I was Rock and Roll.

On my way to work. I overslept and started out late but that worked out for me cause traffic wasn’t moving anyway. I got there just in time to creep slowly past and get a good look at a soggy short bus with no passengers.

As soon as I saw the disclaimer telling you it’s a good idea young children don’t watch this next bit I tried to FF only to realize the horror that I was actually watching live TV.
I held up a paper in front of the screen to shield my virgin city-girl eyes from the head chop (which it turns out they didn’t show) and the aftermath (which it turns out they did show).
They all...
Tumblr's true purpose
As I see it, Tumblr potentially can do all the stuff you do on blogger, flickr, twittr, pounce, jaiku, etc. Difference is that you can use it however makes you happy.
You can even change your mind from moment to moment and keep on going.
That makes it more awesome than all the others.
"Everyday is Saturday"
Norton Records plans to release of a compilation of Dictators demos and unreleased tracks called “Everyday Is Saturday” in the next few weeks!
While you wait for the release of these rarities, you should check out Norton’s selection of previously released Dictators CDs, LPs, 45s and T-shirts.
Meanwhile, Ross and the RTB Band are focusing solely on furiously writing new music...

It’s strange how I was bored having to update my blog once a day, but I find updating tumblr near constantly very exciting.
On healthcare
Marco’s post about getting his MRI pics reminds me that I have my rib and my nose somewhere in a box or something somewhere.
Also reminds me that i was bummed i had no keepsake of the gallbladder ultrasound which was negative btw.
In the meantime while they were having difficulty diagosing me, whatever it is I had seems to have run it’s course, leaving me suddenly unremarkably...

I added comments to my tumblelog when, in a bizarrre fit of reblogging, conversation happened in fragments on several peoples pages one day.
My viewers, who are generally not tumbleloggers were confused. Only dashboard users got the whole conversation, which was squashed within a day by a guy who basically wasn’t interested and threatened to remove us all from his friends list.
Since...

Once a day I answer/forward Ross The Boss’ MySpace messages.
To the outside world that profile is HIM, so I always make sure to let people know they’re talking to the middleman and I give them his email address.
Got one from someone, sounded like she used to know him.
“Hi, I’m his webmaster, Dawn. He doesn’t do this page himself, but I’ll forward your...
I am the comment advocate
Go on, duct tape comments to your tumblr.
Why? Cause tumblr’s awesome cause its simple and fast.
Superior to those overly complicated blogging platforms.
The internet is awesome because its interactive.
I like interactive. I put stuff out there for people to see.
I like it when they tell me what they think
Comments don’t bother folks on the dashboard when conversation has...

They briefly talked about me in the middle of “The Other 48 Days” flashback rewatch episode. It kinda freaked me out.
Fall TV preview/picks →
Tonight’s the premiere of House, which is the #1 thing I’m concerned with but lots of new shows look very promising and this link leads to a page all about them.
Looks like scripted dramas of a sci-fi nature are in fashion.
For that I am glad.
Heroes was good!
