MSN Entertainment: Goodfellas cast reunites to promote new DVD.

I'm getting a little annoyed at buying a DVD only to have a "special edition" version released a year later. I'm going to have two copies of every cool movie out there... and sometimes the difference between the original and the "special deluxe directors platinum" edition is negligible. However, if you think I'm not going to run out and buy the new Goodfellas DVD, you're fucking crazy. I'll bitch about it, but I'll do it.

8:37am August 18, 2004: Gooch downloads his first country song on Bearshare, a peer-to-peer filesharing network. Also on this day: Cats start chasing dogs and an altar boy rapes a priest (The joke is that the "dog and cat" thing and the "priest" thing are as unlikely to happen as me downloading a country song, because I've historically despised country music).
Word. Stick it to Comcast. If you live in an apartment or some sort of multi-family dwelling, spend $20-$50 on wireless connectivity equipment and try to latch on to someone's open wireless access point. I brought my laptop to two random apartments Monday night and both times I was able to access the internet at 11mbps (the same speed as in my own home, on my own access point). Contact me and I'll do it for shots of Jack Daniels if you're not able to figure the setup yourself.

Put in a good work day today. Legitimate stuff. Slept for nine hours last night, so of course I can't sleep now. Fuck. I've slept in my own house for three night in a row (counting tonight). I think it's a record since I've lived in Troutdale.

My commercial shoot on Monday went really well. I had to dress like it was cold outside, despite the fact that it was close to 90 degrees on the overpass where I was standing. They had to mop the sweat off my face during the close-ups. Ultimately, I played a great depressed guy. I brought a bottle of Jack Daniels with me that morning. The director said "we don't need any props for this shoot." I said "what props."

Just kidding.

I wish this blog bored me as much as it bores you; I'd be asleep right now.

GOOCH:tired.

It's Kay Day!

The following post was written by a friend of mine, without my knowledge, who found my laptop on with the Blogger editing page logged in and open. My friend Kay wrote that. Well played, Kay... well played. It's the first time in the five years this website has existed that another person has written a (b)log entry. Last night was also the first time I let a girl ride in my car with her feet on the dashboard - also Kay (I've never met a girl who could just ride in a car with her feet on the floorboard). Kay's fortuitousness was added to when we replaced her $45/month cable service with a USB wireless ethernet adapter and successfully sucked internet service from someone else's wireless access point. This only usually works in apartment/condo complexes and if you're lucky enough to have someone close by with an open wireless access point. Buy a lottery ticket, Kay... you're on a roll!

Written by Kay in the style of Gooch: Hanging out with two of my girlfriends tonight. I was told that I speak much differently when I'm trying to get a piece of ass. Met a few new women lately but all are just "friends," what can I say? Women cant resist my metro-sexual style. Gooch OUT- got to get some dinner now!!
