Drive-Ins

I just heard that there's a drive-in movie theatre in New Jersey again. It's in Vineland which is nowhere near where I live, but still I feel better knowing that it's there. I remember going to see the Pink Panther movies at the old Amboy drive-in movie theatre before it became the Amboy Multiplex, which is closing soon as well. Something about the floor sinking or something.

Anyway the Delsea Drive-In is open and is playing Revenge of the Sith to boot. Taking Star Wars back into the 70's.

Gee, thanks.

Apple will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. Sort of. They'll pay you for about 10% of the burger which will probably get you the bottom half of the bun without the juiciness of the burger soaked into it. Now if the bun was a nice kaiser roll, perhaps you could make an argument for this deal. But I'm willing to bet that you can get a lot more for your old iPod than the 10% off the purchase of a new one offered by Apple.

I'm really surprised to hear of Apple getting in bed with Intel for future chips. All I would imagine this would do is encourage Intel to slow down the releases of faster chips even more than they already do. If both Macs and PCs are run by Intel chips, what's going to drive the market. I would have liked to see Apple get behind AMD who has always been there to keep Intel in check. They do not nearly have the market share, but this will make it a little tougher to keep Intel honest.

Apple, you know, “think different”, and all that business. It would just make sense for Apple to go with AMD. The whole “Macs are faster” argument would fall by the wayside when the chips are the same, wouldn't it? If Apple's goal is to make the transition to Macs that much easier for the PC user, you know, so much easier that it doesn't seem any different, well then why would a PC user want to pay a few hundred more to get a Mac.

PC users aren't as spellbound by Steve Jobs as much as the hardcore Apple users, so before the assimilation process into PCs edges further toward completion, Apple has to think about whether they want to continue to hold their place in the computer market, or become an iPod company.

Threadless Running Out of Threads.

Threadless still has tees left at $10, but only until June 6. I guess they'll be printing a whole new batch, but there's still some good stuff left. And some new shirts have just been made available at this bargain price. Star Wars fans will definitely appreciate Dark side of the Garden, featuring Darth Vader in Martha Stewart moment tending to his topiary, which just happens to be shaped like the Death Star. I also like We're Toast, Maxim Vixen, My Dearest Friend, Bye Pussy and Nothing (which I recently ordered).

Yes, I'm shilling for Threadless, but I like the whole user-submitted design process. If you want something to be made into a t-shirt, you can vote for the submissions, or design one yourself. There's currently a design competition involving IFC. Hence the nearby graphic.

Odd dreams continue

Last night I dreamt the new Star Wars movie, mind you I haven't seen it yet, so it was up to my sleeping mind's machinations. It started out Lucasian enough, but once the flooding started, as well as run-ins with mall security, and Method Man getting fired from The Gap, I realized I was a little off base. There were no Gaps on Tatooine, only Old Navy stores, and Method Man wouldn't work in either.

Perhaps some more useful blog posts will appear soon. You don't need me to tell you that Deep Throat's identity has been revealed. So consequently there's no accompanying link.

Post 5-31-05 evening LL 9:58PM

This post should have appeared Tuesday evening, but there were some upgrades going on at the host, so it appears today instead. God forbid you didn't know that little fact, considering the pertinence of the information of my wacked out dreams to your everyday life.

Shot.

Last night I dreamt I was shot in the heart. I didn't much like this dream. The idea that if you die in your dream, you die in real life, was introduced to my young mind early enough in my formative years to still have a stronghold in my sometimes adult years. Whether my dreams are wondrous or nightmarish, they are always vivid. They might not appear every night, or even for stretches of weeks to months, but they are presented in glorious detail, if not artisticly rendered.

Do people who die in their sleep die in their dreams? Can we actually ever know this? Either this is conversation worth kicking around over a pint, or a thought only worthy to those who've indulged in multiple hits from the bong. I haven't been hanging around with Cypress Hill tonight, but this thought entered my head stone cold sober.

However vivid the dream was, my retention of details is poor. My brain has not been fitted with any type of cyborg Tivo to record this dream (without those fucking commercials), so all I recall is that there were some type of unsavory characters I was associating with, and I believe it was some type of doublecross on their parts (what can you expect from un-savories) that got me shot.

And when I say I was shot in the heart, it wasn't the anatomically correct, behind the breastplate heart location, Pulp Fiction OD Bitch adrenaline hypodermic heart. It was the upper left side, I pledge allegiance…, home of love letters and initials on school book covers and countless tomes of bad and good poetry heart. This can be analyzed however one chooses. I just was having some fun with that last sentence.

I want to go to be now. I'd like to go back in armed, and get those fuckers.

Hasta luego,

LL
