maybe it's just me

I am actually working on a new website right now. Can you believe it?

Doing its job like well

Garnered two free EP-length listenables from the internerd in the recent past, both from those kanuckleheads at the Cartoon Network, which I don't get on my crappiest cable.

Chocolate Swim comp (Chicago's own Chocolate Industries v. Adult Swim)
DangerDoom - Occult Hymn

I don't like it as much anymore.

Fast & the Furious - Tokyo Drift.
It's okay, I'll go by myself.

not exactly weeping gently

The card from my digital camera crapped out in the middle of me taking some self-portraits wearing flip-up shades I found in the grass at the Portland Head Light. Sign from above? Maybe. For the best? Probably. Also lost were dorky pictures of famous-looking people from the Guggenheim opening. Boohoo.

No, seriously

People, please stop skimping on toilet paper. It's just wrong. Please stop.

Also, riding bikes is where it's at, if you don't know that already.

Also, anybody know when Harry Potter book #7 is coming out? I'm eager for it.

Also, roast beef & horseradish on sourdough w/lettuce & tomato is pretty much my favorite.

Also, as of Sunday afternoon, I own 10 books, no 11, by John McPhee.

Also, Scott Walker has a new album out.

Also, the BPL has DVDs, though you can only take 30 out at one time. That should be more than enough to get all the episodes of American Experience they have, plus maybe a couple of the odd Criterions.

Gold Doubloons

This place the Library on Houston & whatever has 2 for 1 drinks for a few hours on some night. They got books but they should probably call it the Bookshelves if that's their deal. Instead of reading we talked co-worker trash & drank while First Blood played on the big screen. I remembered some tidbit about Sly tearing his bicep on the set of that movie Cliffhanger. This is why people want to be my friend.

Have I told you about...

the photo show I want to have called "Why Has Everyone Turned Their Back on Me"? Don't laugh, it's deep & shit.

Did it just to do it.

One of eight, I think. This is my favorite.

and then there's these guys...

My cousin got married in Chicago. There were 3 photographers. They videotaped me & my other cousin talking about the X-Men 3 movie. I drank whiskey.

If you are any of my friends in Chicago, esp. K. Lee & Court, I'm sorry I didn't visit with any of you while I was home. Of the 48 hrs. on IL soil, 20 were spent sleeping (badly needed), 12 were spent w/family (I ate too much), 4 were spent at the mall (incl. coming & going), 4 at the airport & rental car place (no I would not like to upgrade to the Mustang to 19$ more, thank you lady with awful nail polish), plus some misc. whatever. I'll be back this summer, bros.
