Betta Betrayal and Bing Bangs!

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Another betta fish dies today… and the kids were here!  It was very traumatic!

A good friend of ours had a going away party at the Remo Drum Circle today… Bing took over the cirle briefly!

Have a great 4th!!! Rock On, Jack

Yes…

I saw it this morning!  I have two favorite times of the year for news, July and December.  Today I saw the “what fireworks do to a mannequins hand story” and come December I will enjoy “Here’s what your Christmas tree looks like in flames” story… Hey, it’s the simple things.

I’m picking up the kids to go hang this morning… This not being able to have them come over midweek thing kind of sucks, so I try and make up for it with a midweek adventure of some sort.

I went and purchased replacement betta fish number two… This time Lucy’s died, so we’ll have to see if the new one fools her!?!?  The color is almost perfect, but it’s a little smaller than “Shark Heart 1″ was. This time I went to a different pet shop… my logic is that I had been buying the fish at a local, small pet shop (Peggy Wood’s in Burbank) and they most likely don’t sell may betta’s, so their fish sit around in the tupperware for longer, this time I went to Pet Smart (or PetCo, Petville, PetMart… I can never remember the name of that place) where they sell more fish and should by my estimation have “fresher” fish… We’ll see.

I realized the other day that I now have health insurance… which means I can try out for Wipe Out!  I need to see if there are auditions anytime soon, Lucy would be so excited to see me fall and make an ass out of myself on there!

I’ve been slacking on my summer movie releases, I still haven’t seen Shrek or Toy Story 3… I think the next thing we will see for sure is Despicable Me, both the kids and I want to see that one. (Opens July 9th)

No resolution on Stench’s pod blind item?  And he’s not talking, he hasn’t even told me off the air (Because he knows I would talk about it here).

Thanks for all the great 4th of july suggestions on Facebook…  We will most likely stick to the valley, maybe watch the city of Burbank set the hillside on fire with their annual display (It happens every year, the display from The Starlight Bowl starts small spot fires… I have an idea Burbank, don’t have your cities display in the hills, there are flat, less flammable parts of the city!?!?)

Finally, a job I’m qualified to do!!!  Birdsssss!  What, the Skort didn’t make the list?  R.I.P. Paul Johnson.   I want to take the kids to see this.  Quick someone get a swoffin.   Holy pipe.   Ouch!

Rock On, Jack

It’s finally here…

All this Farrell’s talk… Well today is finally the day.  Stench and I will be there tonight recording the podcast live and eating ice cream… What more could you ask for?  Alina is a confirmed guest tonight… She’s driving with Stench, so I know she’ll be there.

One betta down… I walked into the kids room yesterday and Bing’s betta was sleeping on the bottom of it’s tank.  I tried to wake him, but he was sleeping so soundly, so I shook his bowl a little harder!  I realized something was wrong, so I started CPR and hooked to wires to a 9 volt battery to act as a defibrillator… But I couldn’t bring him back, after 3 hours of trying to bring him back I called the time of death and made the very difficult flush.  Knowing the sensitive nature of this event, I did what any responsible adult would do… returned to the pet shop and purchased a look-a-like betta.  As of this morning, betta 2.0 seems to be doing fine.

Speaking of passing, I was arranging the disposal of the “Busty Old Car” yesterday… Why is it that everything revolving cars is a pain in the ass (even driving them most of the time in this town)?  It looks like the ’93 Altima will meet it’s final resting place later today.  R.I.P. Busty Old Car.

Stench and I had technical difficulties on yesterday’s pod…  Sorry, considering we’ve recorded over 800 1-hour episodes it’s bound to happen every once in a while.

I had to go to the Do It Center yesterday to get some keys made… There’s something about a hardware store that makes you want to build and/or remodel stuff!  Luckily, I realize I have no construction skills (Other than carrying bags of rock… That’s what I did when I worked with the construction company.  I did get to drive a truck, the kids thought that was cool) and only purchased my keys and not the skill saw that looked so cool.

I really feel like Ron’s Show (The show I produce) is gaining momentum.  Ron is such a great guy, I really want this show to blow up (I mean that in a good way… I guess blow up could mean go away too!).

It looks like they may have worked on each other!  Way to go Jimmy!  AZ might be anti-immigrant, but their nun’s are pro-choice.  I know people are mean… But don’t kill puppies!!!!  It’s a tough job.  You have to be quite when having sex with a homeless woman!

Rock On, Jack
