My server was down, but now it is back.
March 3, 2009 on 2:18 pm | In Mike That Mayt | No CommentsMy apologies for anyone who couldn’t get to the site. Supposedly there was a faulty power strip that took down my mail server, and that same faulty power strip that took down my webserver, and 10 other web servers.
It is one of those moments when you know that dreamhost is lying to you about the problem, you have no idea what the problem really is, and you just hope they fix it fast. Actually who cares what the problem is, JUST FIX IT!!
Maybe I change my dreamhost. Or maybe I should ship them a box of power strips.
Farenheits! // shoe clicks. apple bites. flames.
February 23, 2009 on 2:56 pm | In Mike That Mayt | No CommentsVHS - I am your fav cassette.
The 60s were an amazing time for great films like Farenheits. Hello my name is Montag. < << ARE YOU AN ILLEGAL BOOK?
Farenheit 451 has probably the best shoe clicks of any movie ever, ever. I watch it only for the sounds of shoe clicks and little things like mouth noises and such.
Go HERE and crank your speakers. It is a full example of shoe sounds and apple bites from the Ray Bradbury film Farenheits. It is a window into the future, a doorway into the past, a vision of post war 1993.
Sound FX are amazing, especially when they are real and not even effects at all. Are you effected?
Everyone is a book in the end///////////////
I ruined the whole movie for you.
In the opening scene some guy bites into an apple. It is amazing. And the shoe clicks that follow are absolutely out of this world.
Do we read less because of the innernette or more? Probably less. We have become scanners and skimmers and surface level readers and surface level coffee talkers. Oh in a world without books, Oh what would we do. I know, everyone would read a book and memorize the entire thing. We could walk around the woods just reciting our books in our heads. If i had to do that i would make sure my book was short as shit. “And now Mike will recite everybody poops” They probably had rulz about what u could and couldn’t memorize.
What about magazines would people memorize them to? The pot heads would memorize issues of high times.
Farenheit = power.
We should read more books if only for the sound that the pages make when they turn. If only for the scent of an aged piece of paper. If only for the words that stand the test of time.
Is whiskey our friend or our enemy.
February 23, 2009 on 12:55 pm | In Mike That Mayt | No CommentsOh my dearest pal. How have you been? U still taste wonderful.
Elliot Smith was right when he said you work better than beer. So who here drinks vodka? Well sir not me. I suppose that whiskey drinkers and vodka drinkers are a different breed… I think dennis leary described it best when he did his whole peach schnapps kick in No cure for cancer. I cant find it on innernettes so here is a link to his french bit which is super duper hilarious.
Denis was coked out of his freakin mind during that performance. Which has nothing to do with whiskey. Which gets me back to the subject of whether whiskey is in fact our friend or our enemy. So here are the pluses and minuses all grouped into one list so you cant tell what i think is a plus or a minus.
1. It works fast.
2. It damages your liver bad i think.
3. It tastes great.
4. It looks brown.
5. When the bar tender pours it into a shot glass it makes a really nice liquid noise.
6. It works better than beer.
7. It makes you fall asleep.
8. It makes you awake.
9. It smells delicious.
10. It tastes really bad when its on the bottom shelf of a liqour store.
Ok. I love scotch, and i love bourbon. Canadian blended stuff is crap, xcept for crown royal. You get what you pay for, as with most things in life.
I will continue to drink you whiskey, and hope for the best. I dont know if i love you, or if you love me, but our relationship seems to be working for the time being, and i am cool with u. <3 <3 you r my friend 4 now.
I am a prisoner in your lost universe.
February 19, 2009 on 6:21 pm | In Mike That Mayt | No CommentsI have an extensive “ass” rated movie collection most of which has been hammed up and down from my father. Over the years i have received dozens of shazzy flicks some of which are just a complete mind fuck of terribleness.
Have you ever been let down from a movie ending? Have you ever been continuously let down throughout the entire flick and sat wondering wtf is the director thinking he must have eaten 15 gel tabs and guzzled a half gal of old grandad.
Answer: YES AND YES!
Well, Prisoner of the Lost Universe is great! Its not like any of the things i described above. MMM it is delicious, like a boston cream donut straight out of the oven at D and D music factory.
Main Character: Richard Awesome Super Horse Hatch
You may remember him from such films as: “I have a great bowl cut” or “My pants are actiony”
He is the main character and gets thrown into this universe… wait im telling this story all wrong. whatever im bad at book reports. So yeah, he is an electrician that falls madly in love with this woman:
Horse mouth stupid talk real name = Carrie:
She is going to meet some doctor about somthing he falls into a teleporter, then she falls into the teleporter then richard hatch falls into the teleporter and they are all lost in another universe. Which looks like someplace in rural california. Actually the whole movie looks like this guy:
But anyway, chick gets kidnapped and hatch has to save her using all of his electriciany tools like a screw driver and some wire from a super evil villain who has harnessed the power of a single shot musket pistol. And apparently no one can KILL HIM! NO ONE!!
So in the end Hatch kills kleel and they make it back to their home in california, about three blocks from the set of the flick. Worth watching if you love movies like movies, that star big named stars like kleel.
And I never needed to make this post because this already explains everything for me.
Ugh.
Building buildings and branding yourself ////
February 19, 2009 on 4:32 pm | In Mike That Mayt | No CommentsHey///
We are constructing a solid brand here. No logo, no messaging apart from the messaging addressing the brand we are creating. And four pictures of two people. How is this a solid brand? How are we building buildings? We actually are just lying a lot, but that’s advertising.
