well i'm sure by now everyone's heard the news about layne staley being found dead. i had no idea until suzie called me yesterday afternoon and told me about it. what a bummer. as far as i know they haven't released what he died of but i'll be extremely surprised if it wasn't heroin that did it. what a waste.

other than that news, the weekend here at the ol' homestead was devoid of anything interesting. list of things i intended to do this weekend:

website work
clean entire apartment
clean the car and the truck
wash the dogs

of those things i actually did:

cleaned the living room

but i really did have good intentions, i just could get motivated. i did get a chance to run up to fry's, though. for those of you not familiar with the greatness of fry's it's basically geek heaven; home to anything electronic, computerized, and all things containing sugar and caffeine. i was working on stan (to clarify, our computers are all named after southpark characters) today adding an additional harddrive for some more software i just acquired and as i was doing so the power supply went dead. it did not go quietly; it went out like a rockstar complete with bright blue flash and zapping noises. this naturally justified a trip to fry's for a new power supply. i ended up deciding on getting a new case ... and then i decided to get two cases because really you never know when you'll need one (heheh ..)

so anyway, getting back to the whole reason i even brought up the trip to the digital promised land ...

as i'm perusing the aisles i stumble across a real show stopper. there's a guy bending over to look at a bottom shelf and as he moves in for a closer look his ass is basically blinding myself as well as the other hapless souls who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. he was completely unphased though. as i walk to pass him he stands up and that's when the rest of the freak show came into focus. at this point i notice his red banded tube socks (yes, they're pulled up as high as humanly possible), shoes with the just the velcro fasters (nope, no laces to speak of although there were supposed to be), wind shorts that the elastic was pretty much worn out of (that poor elastic never stood a chance), and his shirt was a football jersey that didn't fit him well enough to cover anything further down than about halfway down his rather large gut. so many issues here, but one thing i've got to say is if you're going to wear a jersey to a public place at least wear an undershirt. uuugh. and the worst part is it's not as if he was bad off, i forgot to mention that the clothes themselves were very nice. if viewed individually each piece of his little ensemble would strike anyone as a nice piece of clothing. but combined, it was crazy. now in the industry i work in i'm no stranger to typical geek hygiene and dressing habits but nothing's prepared me for that. the guy had pretty much single-handedly constructed a train wreck and slapped it on to go shopping for a couple of computer books. wow.

anyway ... yeah, there's a general idea what never to wear. you're welcome.

cheers
