Are you ready?  The costume shop next to CRN has been crazy.  I don’t want Halloween to come… Because as soon as it passes we’ll be in full holiday mode.  At my house Halloween pretty much starts tomorrow, Lucy has her school parade, then it is off to Line 6 with Angie and Ethan for some in office trick or treating, while I am at The CRN holding court over our in house costume contest.  (Which all are welcome to attend, with or without costume! click here to find the address)

Tomorrow on the podcast we have Jamie Kennedy and Greg Giraldo… Always fun to have guests on the pod.

I have been seriously neglecting my caffeine intake the last couple days… I know this because I had a big headache.  I can go a day or two with not too much, but anything over that and the head hurts, so I’m sitting at Panera right now with a large ice tea.  Since they opened the Art Institute next door Panera is mainly overrun with young twenties on their laptops, portfolios at their sides.  I hide on the patio… Where I fit in better, and it gives me way more to look at.  When I sat there was a man sitting across from me, he looked roughly my age, he too was typing away on his laptop.  A car pulled up to the curb, more correctly a minivan, and sat there for a moment, the man typed and the car sat.  This went on for about 2 minutes, then the window rolled down and “Chris!” was shouted from the van…  It startled the man (Who we now know as Chris), he was so enthralled in his work he hadn’t noticed his wife had arrived to pick him up. ( this happens a lot right here, being right across from the subway and the bus hub, people camp out on the patio and wait for their rides)  All of this really doesn’t matter, because the part that struck me happened right after he grabbed his stuff and jumped up.  As Chris opened the door to get into the car you could hear an excited “Daddy!” come from the backseat.  Every parent knows that sound, that high pitched, energized, one word exclamation that truly comes from the heart.  That little girl was so excited to see “Daddy”, the woman more annoyed that “Chris” didn’t notice she had pulled up right away.  I know for me, that after not seeing the kids for awhile it is great to hear that sound from the backseat…  Do I wish that tiny explosion of joy happened everytime I opened my door?  Without a doubt, but you take what you can get.

I know I mentioned it last blog, but next week I’ll be heading over to the Hotel Cafe to see State Shirt (Ethan) play after the CRN show, hope to get a chance to hang with some of you there!

He played three rounds of beer pong before being removed.  Seems harmless enough.  One lucky girl.  Lou Dobbs attacked, where was Tomas?  These kids are scum.  Let me guess, he was pale and thin.  I move out and Mickey moves in!  Talk about bad parking.

On a side note, when you sit out on the streets of North Hollywood long enough you realize it is full of crazy people… present company included!

Rock On, Jack

Kate Gosselin is on Ellen right now… What a horrible, horrible person. She is just like her ex-husband, a fame whore who would do anything for publicity… They’re the Balloon Family, but with a series. I feel sorry for all 11 of those kids (Kates 8 and the balloon 3).  Jon is getting slammed by his girlfriend… quick someone film it and put it on TLC!  I have personally boycotted the Ed Hardy brand because the owner is friends with that douche.

Lucy and Bing are going to be excited, Ice Age 3 came out on video this week… They loved the dinosaur babies in this one.

Went and got my Halloween candy today…  Not sure if any kids come through my building, but I’m going to leave some candy out just in case.

Stretch’s ear is still all messed up… But the pain medicine is working, so that’s good.  Hope he feels better soon!

I went to the staff meeting at the CRN today, which was very cool.  They really want to win, which is a great shift from being at places that did everything to lose.

We were just talking about this on the pod.  Bad boy Arnold.  Singer attacked by coyotes.  Forget snow days, kids now get swine flu days. Walmart has the best deals for the living and the dead.  Quick, get Stretch a fork.  Porn shirt.  Good garage sale find.  The meat hands stretch spoke of on the pod.  Happy National Chocolate Day!

Rock On, Jack

It’s all about Halloween this week!  On the CRN show we have psychic Vicky King , a playboy bunny on Tuesday talking about cigars (Not really Halloween themed, but she does wear a bunny costume) and The First Annual Jack and Stretch Halloween Costume Contest live at our CRN studios on Friday!

Lucy and Bing are so excited to sport their costumes and get some candy…  OK, so am I!

Went for a bike ride yesterday, the weather has been so great.  I rode around Lake Balboa, good bike paths and not too many people.  There were a lot of people on fixed gear bikes, which is cool because it means people are getting back into cycling… but sucked because the people riding them are not very skilled and do not ride safely.

Come quick, there’s a stripper on the bus.  Maybe they were reading my blog?  Roach mouth.  That’s a lot of hummus. More reasons credit cards suck.  Scientology quitter.  More evidence that David Spade is a douche.  Cheater gets fired.  Told you that you can get anything on Ebay.  Is that a snake in your pocket or…

Rock On, Jack

The modem and router are hooked up waiting the arrival of my DSL signal… Which is supposed to happen at 8p.  So, blogging should not be a problem!

Bing (AKA Bowling Girl… AKA Polka Dot Bowling Girl) is obsessed with his bowling shoes that I found for him.  Ebay is a parents dream, you can find anything there, like say brand new toddler size 8 rental bowling shoes, with the little “8″ on the back heel, they rule!

Lucy and I made brownies the other night… I’d say about half the ingredients made it into the bowl, the other half are spread all over my kitchen, but it was fun, so what the heck.

The kids carved pumpkins last night, well kind of, I found these mallet things at Target where you nail plastic pegs into the pumpkin… Kind of like a pumpkin Light Bright.   Way easier for the under 6 crowd!

If you haven’t heard already, our Halloween Party has been canceled… So we’re inviting anyone who wants to come down in costume (or not) to the CRN Studios on Friday the 30th for a costume contest and live broadcast from 8-10p.  There is nothing more spooky than Halloween Eve in Sun-Land.

Wow, new Night Stalker news.  Tomas is going to be upset.  Oh Ya, avoid the chest!  Easy come, easy go.  I already thought this was covered!?!?  Don’t you hate it when your wife shows you up.  Sorry, no nakey time!  Good news dreamers!  Your dog is not green!!!

Rock On, Jack

Kiss was on KTLA today, I’m sorry, I know people love them, but they are huge douche bags…  Just something about old, hairy guys in make-up shamelessly plugging a “best of” tour that was kind of pathetic.  And don’t get me started on Gene, I haven’t like him since we had him in studio and I learned that what I thought was an act is really him.

Went for a walk yesterday, Jen at the CRN wanted a photo of the billboard that’s in my hood… Talk about feeling like a douche bag, stand out on the street and take a photo of a billboard with your picture on it, I felt like Heidi and Spencer trying to draw attention to myself.

The kids come over tonight, which is always great, it’s a school night so we don’t get a lot of quality time… But I get to make Lucy’s lunch and I think that’s fun!  I did a little Halloween decorating, I figured the kids love it and I might as kid 6 weeks of enjoyment out them.  We’d already have pumpkins if the stores had them… Although we don’t carve them until a few days before Halloween, the kids just love to have them around.

I am really pumped to be going to Lobster Fest this weekend,  have been looking forward to this for months, and Lucy and Bing are ready to go… They have been asking about it for weeks.  Stretch and I will be there officially Friday 8-10p and Saturday from 2-4, but you’ll be able to find us wondering around, eating and enjoying the great music all weekend.

Man charged in Le’s death.    We’re going to be setting a record at the Lobster Fest this weekend.  A self hating chicken.   What do you think about this?  Don’t spank my kid!  Turn it down.. or I’ll shoot.  Dirty lovers get robbed.  R.I.P. Henry.  Stretch’s girlfriend was a cutter.  Journey hates the Dodgers!  This is a disturbing new trend... This is the second time this has happened in two days.  R.I.P. Mary.  Save Ferris.  Hey, this was in Jamie’s hometown.  Are you saying O.J. did it?

Rock On, Jack
