You know this Boogie is for Real

To leave my job, the stable and persistent nature thereof, right now would not be prudent, especially as staff are to due return, so I decided last week to not attend a career fair, despite the recommendation of two, true friends.

Whirlwind weekend 022

A status on Facebook led me to Knuckleheads Sunday, and I received another invitation, and later visited another friend to view Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? and Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma on Crunchyroll.

All Good Things, part Three

Much like two years ago at Wheat State 47, today was the last showcase from Amanda Fish Music at the Gospel Lounge at Knuckleheads Saloon, and I was there.

‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever’ Is the End of an Era,

“We spoke to creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro about our favorite surrealist anarchic animated show starring a meatball, a milkshake, and a box of fries.”

“4:1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord,
urge you to walk in a manner worthy of
the calling to which you have been called,
2 with all humility and gentleness,
with patience, (Ephesians 4:1-3)
bearing with one another in love,
3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
