do the justice

This is just a quick fanboy post to let everyone know that if you haven’t been to secrettechnology you are not using the internet correctly. Jason Nelson has made the most interesting interactive electronic word creations I’ve ever seen, and I actually got to talk with him twice when he visited UMD last year. [...]

Today was my last day at the video store, which will cease to exist on Friday. It was especially boring today because my manager left 4 hours early to get his GRE results. Work all day alone? Why not? The problem was that I really was alone, not even any customers [...]

As if to make up for being full of freaky porn and stuff, I found a copy of Alice today on the shelf. It has Darkness/Light/Darkness on the same disc, which is a quality bit of insane claymation. The best part of work today though was when a regular couple came in. [...]

First off, I took a picture of this to prove to everyone (including myself) that the store actually existed at one point, since the changeover is coming on the 27th apparently. Also, its hilarious looking. I was talking around putting movies back, and I kicked a VHS back into the shelf so it [...]

Since today was VERY busy at work I sat on the floor and perused the VHS wall of martial arts and horror movies. On the recommendation of a customer I sought out the Traces of Death tape we have, but the back doesn’t really tell me much. I thought he misspoke, but we [...]

I don’t know if anyone actually sat through the parade of nations during the obviously highly drug influenced Olympic opening ceremonies, but at the end Björk sang a song off her new album Medúlla called Oceania. She had this crazy dress on that unraveled into this big blue sheet that covered all the athletes [...]

So when I went to get my check today from the Potamus, I found out Hollywood Video was buying the store, and in 2 weeks it’ll be totally changed over. This means Dan, my manager will quit because he doesn’t like “all the rules” of a big business video chain. I guess he [...]

Thank you Karl, this explains so much.

As if to make up for the past few days of peace and quiet, today had a bunch of strangeness at everyone’s favorite Fiend Video. I heard about the branch that is closing on King St. in VA from both the owner of the “chain” of two (now one) stores, and my manager. [...]

I thought this was funny and appropriate considering my current job. (To give credit where credit is due, I got this link from Theresa, who apparently stole it from Jonas. What a tangled web we weave.) However, it should be noted that no one at Fiend Video is like this, most of [...]
