Thank You Nameless Tiger Fans...

Two Saturdays ago, I went to an Orioles game where they gave out DVD's of Orioles Magic 08. As I made my way to the escalators, I saw 3 of them sitting on top of a trashcan. I assume Tiger fans who had no interest in them put them there...but they should have done what I did. After making my way up to them and nobody else grabbing them, I sure did.

And the next day, they were up on eBay.

And a week later, I'm 90 dollars richer.

You read that right. Nine-Zero Dollars richer. For a DVD that has a 2 minute video on it and maybe 10 more minutes of "making of" type stuff. That was free simply for showing up in the first place.

Thank you nameless Tiger Fans. I 'preciate it.

Make a Band!

Found this over at Culture Kills. Thought I'd give it a spin.

Make a band meme

Everyone has been doing this, and well, it seemed fun.


Let’s Make a Band:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
(you might have to click new random quotes at the bottom)

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

You then take the pic and add your band name
and the album title to it, then post your pic.

I actually had to do the name part like 5 times, because there was either no real article, or it was already a band name (once I got a bands page, too: Rush)

I Steal...drink up me hearties, yo ho.

I am a mighty pirate, after all.

Stole this from Dawn. Not generally my cup of tea, except when I'm bored on MySpace, but something about this one I like. It's supposed to be for Monday's, but I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF CONVENTION and therefore I do it on Tuesday with my nose in the air. Take that.

1. Name a song you know most (or all) of the words to.
I know all the words to many a ditty. But I will go with the song currently playing from my iTunes library shuffle cavalcade of personal hits: Axel F...AXEL F? That's a freaking instrumental. Hang on, I've gotta hit forward. Rush's 2112, are you kidding me? Forward again. Ah, okay: Zak and Sara by Ben Folds.
2. Name a movie that you have watched more than once and would watch again.
Pretty much all of them? It's true, ask anyone. But let's see, in my life, I've probably watched The Empire Strikes Back more than any other movie.
3. Have you ever read a book more than once? Please share.
Habitually. Re-reading is extremely pleasurable to me, because I pick up things all the time that I didn't before. I once read a beloved series backwards to see what that would be like. But to give an answer I'll go with George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. The rousing kickoff to the best "fantasy" series I've ever gotten engrossed with.
4. Share an inspirational quote with us.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams.
5. What day of the week does (or did) your birthday fall on this year?
Wednesday.
6. Have you ever bought a book or cd or movie more than once because you forgot you bought it already?
Yeah, actually. David Edding's Pawn of Prophecy. Though, to be fair, it was more because I thought I had lost it.
