music

As we're doing claims to fame, i used to go to school with a guy who's
dad was in black sabbath, he was geezer butler, the bassist. Oh and a
few in the stunt world, i know the guy who invented bungie jumping and
the guy who designed the dam bungie jump in Golden eye. O the new harry
potter film was shot where i live aswell.

be, prolly broken again by now....) was born and raised here and went to
the University of Idaho, the local college in Moscow.

Those dam bungee jumps. So where was that one filmed? I always wondered
if it was the Hetch-Hetchy Dam in Yosemite?

Also, as a person who knows what dams look like, I always kind of
laughed at the idea that the face of a dam would be vertical. Most dams
slope quite a bit downstream, which would mean quite a scraped-up chin
for Mr. Bond-James-Bond!

My school:
Artist Wyland (his web site pointedly avoids revealing his first name)
went to my college, Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. He grew up
in Detroit and Madison Heights, MI. His site says he was born in Detroit
"by accident" because he's so drawn to the sea. Nonsense. Being raised
in the Midwest can make one's desire for the sea and sealife stronger
than it might be if you grew up with it on your doorstep. Yes, I live in
the "middle" of CA, but I lived near the beach on Long Island for 10
years before that. And the ocean is still only 2.5 hours away whenever
we want to go!

Wyland is the guy who paints the "whaling wall" murals all over the
world. His site says he has completed 84 of them, and I've seen them all
over; even one in Anchorage!

continued threadjackI sat behind 2000's Playmate of the year Jodi
Patterson in pre-calculus class at my atrox mater, Thurston Senior High
School. No one could say they enjoyed math class like we could! But
that's not my claim to fame.

My H.S. chemistry lab partner was not my claim to fame either: Kristen
Kinkel, sister of 'Kip Kinkel'
(http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kinkel/), the psycho-naut
who killed his parents, had a good night's sleep, then went to school
the next day and shot 20 students, killing two of them. No one wants
that kind of association!

Riding Tahoe granite and hanging out at Chateau Lloyd with unicycling's
biggest names during CMW 2004 is on my best-of list, but I won't call it
my number one claim...

My claim to fame will come with my college diploma (in just over a
month!), which will be signed by none other than the Governator himself,
Ahnuld Schwarzenegger. Never once did I think, while watching reruns of
"Terminator" on late-night cable, that I'd receive a personal document
from Arnie himself. Never before have I ever placed anything in a
picture frame and hung it on a wall, but soon, history will be made...

As far as I know, Drummer from Led Zepplin (John Bonham) is dead at that
time... You mean drummer's paradise is located in your area?
