Filler Post #22 - ...and then I was like "Emilio!"

I was trying to post a new blog entry, but then Remington interrupted me with an instant message regaling me with tales of Chris Kattan's visit to my brother's workplace. It wasn't so much the visit by the "celebrity" (*snicker*) that set me off, but rather the fact that his company (also a call center for a large, well-known corporation) has free catered BBQ all the fucking time.

Well, I finally figured out something that could one-up that, you little bastard...I think the paint fumes from the remodeling going on across from my desk got me a little bit high while I was doing my overtime this morning...and I saw a guy walk by on stilts.

I don't know if the two events were related...but the psychodelic effects were f-r-e-e, baby...in yo face!

Anyway, on a totally unrelated note, I was checking out one of my favorite link sites named after a disturbing sexual act -- Gorilla Mask -- and their first link for January 31st was for a generic Dr. Pepper website.

Oh the memories. Ok, so here's the funny thing: I linked back to the Dr. Pepper page way back in 1998 on the very first webpage I ever made in my entire life (so embarrassing...it's most definitely a shrine to a very different time in my life). Then, after I had linked to the page the guy who made the page quoted me in the "Reviews of the Site" section. Anyway, it just brough up a lot of old memories for one day...

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Saturday Night Videos 5

Lately I've taken to supporting artists via crowd-sourcing sites and the like. I recently touched on that a bit in the last show regarding Chali 2na's Against the Current project. Personally, I think it's an easy/convenient way to support indie artists -- particularly, if you like good music and if you're kinda low on funds yourself. Sometimes there a (reasonable) minimum donation amount to get some new music. Sometimes it's a "pay what you can/want". A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant . Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. A...
