KingLou Drops Science 2.0

I went downstairs this morning to get my bike for my ride to work. It's been really windy on top of being below 40 degrees so I have been lazy lazy lazy aobut riding to work. So I go down to the basement and TA-DAAAA!!! My bike has been stolen again. I pretty much took it in stride. Nothing I can do about it now. Of course I am fucking pissed off as you might expect. What really pisses me off is that one of the reasons it was stolen was that it was not where it would normally be. Normally it would have been locked to this little bike rack that was installed. I have been keeping it there for months. But the last time it was really nice out I took the bike out and when I came back someone had parked the double wide baby jogger in my spot. I had nowhere else to park it so I locked my bike to an excercycle that is down there. The excercycle was much more in plainview where as the bike rack was around a corner and also tough to get good angles on making it hard to steal junk from. So now I have no bike and I am pissed. Not only that but my bike computer was on there, my light & my panniers and I think I left my tools in the pannier. Sigh.... Well I guess I am off to the bike shop. Good bye $700.

In better news my short TV pilot "Fugitive Chef" made it into the Channel102 screening for this month. I've been trying get it shown for 2 months until now. There was always some complication with delivery or deadlines but it finally made it in. I hope I can get enough people there to sway the voting to get another episode in. I was disturbed to hear from the judging panel that the show alomst didn't make it because of one joke. The panty slide. I have shown this video to maybe 30 people. All the people have liked the slide. I don't get it. From what I understand my previous show was killed by one joke as well. I mean one corny or weird joke should not kill a show.

I haven't been playing much halo lately. Other things keeping really busy. Kind of nice. Although when Ido start playing off and on it takes me maybe like a minute to be able to orient myself to the game world. I start playing and at first I'm like "Whoa... WHOA... oh... ok" and then onto the killing. The one constant about Halo is how many assholes are playing on it at any given time. People are just jerks.

Thats what Halo and bike thieves have taught me.

Scully. What time do you have? My watch stopped. I must have been in some sort alien time disruption...

Sorry for the delay in publishing. I had actually made 2 fantasic posts in the past month or so only to have some weird glitch between my Safari & this blogware save the posts into the void. After the consecutive losses I became despondent. You understand I am sure.

What is new... hmmm.... Well I have been teaching myself CSS so I could understand what the hell all these new websites are build on. Only to learn that CSS is only like 1 part of a multiplee difficult puzzle. So I am also slowly (VERY SLOWLY) peaking at PHP and MySQL. Why? Just because I have been feeling a total lack of advancement lately. After a 18 months of playing Halo 2 almost everynight for 2-4 hours I haven't played in a week + (except for one little blip - i am weak). The wealth of knowledge out there about making websites and blogware & php scripting is pretty overwhelming. Good to know that there are so many people tinkering with php and putting the scripts out there for free. Since I figured out how to install the blogware on my machine to play offline I've been having some fun & frustration with the myriad plugins and themes people are constantly cranking out. When will you see it reflected here? .... Man, I don't know. Leave me alone. Didn't I just finish telling that I lost a couple entries? I am still reeling from that and you have to get all "Lets see some results" and shit. Jerk.

I performed on Sunday with my Project improv team "Confession Mobile" It was the first show I was able to do with them since we started. It was not a particularly good show for me. I was a little stiff. The next one I will make a concerted effort to get on stage more.

Ace & company continue to do well. Ace may actually get into a school (pre-school) for the fall. Any and all nighmare storioes you may have heard about getting a child into the schoos of New York is absolutely true to the Nth degree. Just scary. So many kids crammed into such a small area. We missed the deadline for applications which was Dec. December for entry in September. We didn't even know there was a deadline. UGH! Thats what happens when you don't have any friends with kids. We're out of the loop bigtime.

I was lilstening to NPR over the weekend and they had a guy on who claims that liberals and liberalism could die out in a few generations because liberals tend to have fewer children rather than the religeous people who follow the commandment to be fruitful and multiply. It's certainly true of my friends. Hardly any of them have kids. Some of them are starting to get into the parenting game as of late but we're all in our late 30's now. The filthy unwashed masses have been busy procreating and having the unwanted for years. It's making me sad thinking about it.

In other news 24 has passed the 1/2 mark and things should be heating up. I couldn't stop thinking about Samwise Gamgee getting killed with the nervegas all week. So depressing. And then Tony! TONY!!!! So many people are being killed off. Atleast we won't have to see anymore nerve gas attacks for a while. that shit was seriously awful!

Hey fans o' Lou! Just testing out a new and exciting style for the site. I've had the same baseball image and crummy flash at the top since around the internet bubble pop. About time I had a change. As usual I owe endless debts of gratitude to my man Jared. Without him you would still be staring at my 8 year old baseball card photoshops. I hope to build some galleries in the near future with most of that old ass content for the die hard Lou fans. All me of you. You know I love me. Right, me? Me me me.

This front page may change from time to time because I am just starting to get a hang of this whole new bloggity blog deal. Power to the people say....

Back to the old Lou. A couple of weeks ago Jodi and I went to go see "Monty Python & The Holy Grail" on Broadway. It was pretty funny, as I had heard. I was kind of sceptical for the first 10-15 mins. The jokes, well worn in my mind, were recieved with total glee by the audience of standard theater going types (see: weird families and older non-hip types mixed in with bused in teen jerk squads). I was kind overly aware of punchlines to these classic jokes I have studied religeously. I was also aware of how the audience was laughing at them and that I wasn't. It wasn't until the "Lady of the Lake" showed herself that I started enjoying myself. She was great! And she really brought the first non-pythonesque moment to the show. Her songs were awesome and she was smokin' hot. By the end of the 1st Act I was into it and the 2nd act was like 4x as good as the 1st. I highly recommend this play that has been out for over a year or two to people who haven't seen it yet. Most people I mentioned it to said, "Oh yeah, that was great. Saw it last year." Sigh.

The Weather sucks. It needs to get warm so I can ride my bike.

Work continues unabated.
