IT'S HOT UP IN HERE

Wow, Minot is experiencing a bit of a heat wave right now. It's been really hot and as you may know, my Norwegian blood just doesn't handle the heat that well.

My car is in the shop having it's break worked on...This means that I'll be spending more money that I don't have. I should put new struts in the front as well a couple of new tires and an oil change. Along with my new computer as this crap adds up!

Well at least I've got the album cover for the day.

Man, some of these artists have the goffiest covers, I may never run out of classics to post!

DINO,THE LEGEND

today's album cover

I'm not really sure what message this cover is supposed to be sending to the consumer but damn it's funny-weird!

I have decided to make the album covers either weekly or perhaps twice a week. I'm not sure. But since my computer is still down for now it might have to stay weekly.

Today was a hot day. I hate extreme heat unless I'm by a body of water. Then heat is okay. I wouldn't fair too well in hot climates. The past week saw temps in the mid to high 60's. That suited me just fine(it's my Scandinavian blood that makes me this way.)


Anyhow, enjoy Dino!

COMMENT READY

Okay, the comments should work now for you non-blogspot bloggers. I didn't know they weren't working until I tried to reply to a comment.

My computer is down and I have to use the work computer to post and stuff so if you haven't heard from me for a while this is why. I should have a new computer by this weekend. Fingers are crossed.

Dave's parents have been busy changing his homestead. The house is now grey instead of red. Quit a change I assure you.

RAX, I DROOL FOR YOU

I don't know why but lately I've been daydreaming about Rax. Does anyone remember Rax restaraunts? We used to have one here in Minot but it closed and an Arby's moved in. Arby's is no substitute. Is it just me or was everything Rax served extra tasty? I remember it that way.

Rax also served as a kind of hang out because they had lunch and dinner buffets long before everyone else did. The chocolate chip shake was exquisite! I really miss that place.

Album Cover Of The Day

Jackie Gleason had a lot of cool covers to his albums; His albums were, I think really good. He's no Mancini but then who is?

$1,000,000 WEEKEND

Classic album cover of the day


Some news that will excite a couple of you, the Minot Park Board has approved another skate park to be built at Polaris Park. When I skated, never in a million years did I ever envision Minot with one skate park let alone two!

WE're also getting our first dog park. I'm hoping that Luke Wilson, Natasha Henstridge and Bruce McCulloch will film the long awaited sequel to Dog Park right here in Minot!

I actually liked that movie.

STILL RAINING AND PHISHS DAYS ARE NUMBERED

Phish have released their new and final album! Huray!! I'm probably pissing some people off with that statement. Sorry, but jam bands and drumming circles are lost on me. I wonder how many crappy jam bands are going to try and take the place of Phish. Now's your chance String Cheese Incident! Phish will be playing there last shows August 14 & 15. My birthday is the 14th. I can't think of a better birthday present.

I actually can't remember to many days in the last month or so that it hasn't rained.

If any one is down with the Daft Punk sound here's an interesting new band: Cut Copy. The best I can do to discribe them is new wave indie dance. I should kill myself for saying that. Very early eighties and the faux disco that Daft Punk has made popular.

I was thinking that I would put up a different album cover every time I post. Classics I call them.

RAINY RECUPERATION

If you visit this sight often you might be wondering why I haven't posted anything lately. Well...I'll tell you why. I took last week off from work because Larry and Steve we're coming home and I wanted to hang out with them and Les was home too. As an Added bonus Tony also made an unannounced visit home. Also my room mates sister was married on Saturday, June 5th. It's safe to say that last week went by in an alcoholic blur. Some of the events that took place were Larry falling asleep on my couch, Larry falling asleep in a chair and then being awakened by me so I could move his drunk ass into the spare bedroom. Larry and Les pooping out early one night because they had been drinking all day long. I also had to poop out one time from being completely exhausted.

Last Wednesday after taking Larry home and dropping off some stuff for lances sister's wedding, we mowed the lawn and decided that we were going to have an outside day. We moved a futon into the driveway brought a coffee table out for the TV and PS2 to set on and a dorm fridge for...sodas. The sun was not co-operating though. We couldn't see the TV screen. So Lance backed his vehicle into the drive way and we put the TV into the back of his SUV. This was still ineffective. So we built ourselves a fort to block out the sun. It sort of worked. As the day went on we were joined by my brother, his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend, some of her friends and Larry and Stevie. Beers were drank liquor was consumed. Larry, surprisingly had not a drop. I drank very little that day.

We moved into the backyard to have a fire in the fire pit when it started to get dark. The hanging in the drive way was fun, moving all the crap we brought out back in sucked! Still, it was a fun day!

We won't talk about the wedding I went to on Saturday.

Here's a couple of fun site to visit if your bored. Holdthebutton.com, have contests to see who can hold the button down longest! And for all you Duct Tape enthusiasts this site will prove the power of the "Handy man's secret weapon." See the incredibly weird things people do when they have too much time on there hands.
