» And Finally!

So it's with pleasure, that I release for download this cute ZEROGERMAN robot. KOPF H1 is a little harder to put together compared to the Hetzer tank on the donwload page. I guess the head is the tricky part. I've included two drawings with the cut-out, so you can see what it's (Kopf H1) suppose to look like. Note: you can only find this offer through this post, so hurry! Have fun! And remember: you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to print this file.

» Oh! My leg...

Usually on Tuesdays, Jena and I take a little trip somewhere. So it's no surprise that yesterday we ended up doing something different: We spent half of our day at Denver Health (our fancy pants care for all hospital). Monday night I discovered a little lump on my groin, which by 10:00PM started to hurt a little. Well, as it turned out it was a benign (a good) cyst. Also known as a sebaceous cyst. You see, they had to do an Ultra-Sound, on my beloved testicles, before finding that out...since at first they couln't figured what it was. Anyway, I'm alive and well. Some antibiotics were prescribed and things are coming back to normal. And as usual, I have some pics from the trip:

» Stubbly pretty face...

With no mustache to play with, I'm actually bored. Shaving just isn't the same. At first, I was looking in the mirror and asking: Who the hell is this guy? Me? It was kind of weird... In another note, Josh and I got together this afternoon, and recorded some stuff. You know, little demo stuff for when we go to the studio. Well, he recorded most of it, but for me, the highlight was playing the bass in this cute little song which I wanna share with you guys: Shallow Dull Stars

» Turtle delight!

If there's something my ornate box turtles like more than meal worms, it's corn. Holy bologna, Batman! Once a week, I boil some corn and I sprinkle it with some calcium, so they can actually get some vital elements since corn is very poor on nutrients. They really chowed it down this time. But after a while, walking down to the kitchen, I spotted someone else eating the corn: a huge cricket! A few months back I bought some babie crickets to feed the turtles. I guess one survived, and it has been living around the turtles all along. And it's big! Compared to its counterparts (from the pet store) he (it) seems full grown. The cricket is missing a leg and half of its antenna, which means he was once (or twice) the choice for dinner (say, lunch or breakfast). But the thought of surviving in a turtle tank, for this long... Tried to take a picture of it, but our fellow survivor was too fast...Hopefully, its picture won't be something out of National Geographic...a turtlet regale!

» Special announcement...

Happy birthday to my dad. October 15th should be declared super hero day. Well, it may not happen, but still, he's my favorite leading man! Viva o Seu Valmor!!!

» I want more coffee!

Holy Cow! The show last night at the Bug Theater was incredible. The sound was perfect! Mr. Dave Eugene Edwards (WovenHand) is a very sweet man. The doors openned at 8:30PM with a line of people going half a block up the street. We delayed our entrance till 9:30PM, since the theater only holds 150 sits (it was built in 1911). Mr. Edwards wanted a full house. With some wine and cigarrete smoking backstage, conversations went from card games to painted keyboards (?). As we finished playing, and started to load our gear to the cars, I was stopped several times by friends and most surprisingly by strangers, who wanted to congratulate us for such a good performance. Harder, was to try to leave the place... Anyway, it was super!

I'm also glad to announce, the first ZEROGERMAN paper vehicle is ready for download! It's a Hetzer Tank Destroyer, used by the Germans in World War II! Now go get some glue and scissors...

» I already forgot.

So the debates where on tv last night. Mr. Kerry and Mr. Bush, responding questions from an audience who seem to be paid to be there. The polls say Kerry won this last dispute, but then, all last five contenders who did well on the past debates, lost in the ballots (God forbid this from happening this time, please!). Me, in the other hand, went to see the Forgotten. What a great idea! What a bad movie! There is a lot of chasing, a lot of bad dialogs. They give the plot up half way through the movie, no aliens, no space ships. Gary Sinise has an idiotic part, and honestly, I could care less for Julianne Moore's freckles. There are a few good special effects, though. But sometimes you can see them coming. Was that supposed to be scary?

» My dilemma

I've been receiving a lot of complaints about my hair, especially from my parents, who think my "twirl" (my hair sticks out on the front), has to go. So yesterday at the ARC Thrift Store, on Colfax ave, I gave it a shot on some different styles. I'll be taking opinions...

» It's good to be back!

It was more like crossing half of the country. Route 50 was a hundred times better than Interstate 80. Nevada actually has some pretty sites down south, instead of the boring salt flats up north. I gotta say that Yosemite wasn't all that. Once you've seen the Adirondacks and the Rocky Mountains, everything else is almost the same. But I'm glad I saw the place where Spock and captain Kirk took their vacation on The Final Frontier.

So things are back to normal. I'm glad to announce, that Josh and I will be oppening for WovenHand on the 15th of October at the Bug Theater

» The Love Parade!!!

Originally the creation of German DJ Dr Motte, the Love Parade is quite simply the biggest global dance event on the calendar. This year, americans decided to have their own. The american Love Parade was held here in San Francisco this Saturday, and amazingly with almost no advertising, it brought thousands of people to the streets. Jena, Heather and I danced and walked for almost 6 hours straight. I still can hear the techno drum beats ringing in my ears. It was fun!
