Broken Saints Blog-a-Plenty

I am sitting on a carpeted floor.
I am in a strange little airport.
I am bloated and somewhat gassy.
I am recalling the day’s events.
I am saddened to have no swag.
I am reviewing notes by Konami.
I am watching airline mechanics.
I am Jack’s throbbing amygdala.

BS Burgers in My Wake

Hey gang – heading out to San Francisco at an ungodly hour tomorrow morning (7AM, which means I have to be up at freakin’ four!!!), and I’ll be audi until next Tues. Lots of nifty schtuff brewing, so cross your fingers for this wayward saint, and I’ll do my best to post some live pics from my travels in appreciation. In fact, some of those shots MIGHT offer hints as to goodies that are brewing in the BS universe, so a little clickety click can only lead to quality ‘revelations’ in some form or another.

Always the cryptic boy…and always loving each and every one of you to bite-sized bits. Have a tasty Evil Eye burger – courtesy of the mighty Eggplant – on the House!

Word is Bond

…and there was much rejoicing!!!

Send some love to ian AT brokensaints.com – Brits in general may have serious intimacy issues, but deeeeeep down they want some snuggles just like the rest of us 😀

(a return to Tuesday Haikus for you!!!)

Take heartfelt support

Two thousand bucks raised

(pics and vids from the rockin’ Aug 20th and chillin’ Red Cross shows to go live soon – extra special thanks to Kim V and Kelsey T for having HUGE hearts, throwing an incredible fundraiser, and letting BS be a part of it!!!)

My Impending Hallowe’en Duds

I’ve been trying like mad to post the details for Tobias’ show, but for some lame reason the image of his flier is getting swallowed by Flickr 🙁 So, I’m using the internationally-ignored rock ‘n’ roll icon Hedwig to let folks know that the T-man has a CD debut TONIGHT in Berlin! If you’re in that finely brewed part of the planet and – time zones in consideration – can make the show, then be sure to drop the BS maestro a line (tobias AT tobiastinker.com). Break a leg, cous’!!!

I Dare You to Flick This

Man…I honestly thought the new Nintendo controller was going to be the long-rumoured pair of independent ‘pods’, similar to the analog stick attachment shown here – but with all the features showcased at the TGS. Hmmm. I’m reserving judgment until I make both a funtional and ergonomic assessment (which might be sooner than you think)…but the customizable ‘magic wand’ concept is something I’ve supported since the earliest rumblings of VR.

And…believe it or not, I’m still sticking by the 3D speculation (though obviously as a future peripheral once the installed base has shown enough support for the machine). For now, it looks like ‘control’ is the name of the game, with wireless wonders and downloadable nostalgia the order of the day.

Oh…and is anyone going to show a smidgen of love for essentially nailing that a next-gen Pilotwings will be launching with this thing? That’s cool and all…but between the obvious potential for flight sims and nifty sword-fighting titles, you know what I really want to play?

Table tennis.

Think about it.

Keep your flames to a minimum, ladies and ‘gentlemen’

…for the fire.

Sure, I may be biased – but unlike my detractors, I’m grammatically sound 🙂

For appreciators of solid Flash narratives – and questioners of official spin involving invisible airplanes and 5-sided military structures – go HERE.

Let the debate rage on…

And slowly inching towards the truth.

Seems the above haiku info might temporarily come to pass, or at least a gov’t established position as the new figurehead of the official relief effort – that’s what’s making the political rounds this morning. I can’t imagine the Bush mob ever agreeing to it – that’s a BIG piece of humble pie to swallow – but there’s honestly no better man for the job, all things considered.

BTW, sorry for not posting much original material as of late. If it makes you feel a teensy bit better, I only have so much creative energy to spare over any given stretch – a truth one could logically use to deduce that said ‘juice’ is currently being ardently squeezed for some dastardly secret purpose.

Hmmm…is that a clock I hear ticking? Thundering, actually.

:p

Have a great weekend, gang. Thanks to Gypsy, I’m off for a couple of relaxing days at a local retreat – though I’ll probably slip into violent withdrawal considering the no phone/computer rule. Hoping to recharge enough to be of some use at Kim’s Katrina benefit next Friday – more news on that in three days. Until then, copious smooches from the rainy place. Excelsior! 😉
