The VMAs were on last night. I know it’s old news, but I’m still blown away by Britney’s transformation from virginal girl-next-store to whore. Yeah, it’s harsh, but true. I can’t believe what the current recording climate is like.
Whole new meaning to Action Jesus.

I’m tired. Alan made me stay up and watch The Professional last night. Which was worth it. Great movie. But I’m tired.
I got the soundtrack to Chelsea Walls yesterday. Jeff Tweedy did it. Pretty cool. It has Robert Sean Leonard doing The Lonely 1, which is weird. I’ve often heard … More
I got an email from Tom today. He has this habit of calling me up every so often to hang out. We hang out, he tries to coax me into bed, I tell him to take a flying leap, he disappears. I just need to stop acknowledging him. He’s a … More

Thought I’d post a NR story:
Nightmare Roommate likes cats.
TANGENT:
Ramona HATED her because she would pick her up and squeeze her and try to pet her. Ramona is far too aloof to allow that sort of nonsense. So she hid from her.
Nightmare Roommate likes cat-themed things because she likes … More
I missed the State Fair this year. The food of the year is Macaroni-on-a-stick. I think they’re slipping. The food’s just not as shocking and god-awful as it used to be. Bring back the deep fat-fried candybars! We’re a buncha Minnesota fatties. Just go to the Sprawl of America’s food … More

We have a new office mascot. An albino baby squirrel has taken up residence on the patio. And since we’ve started feeding it, it might stick around. Which is horrible, as we tend to befriend animals (ducks, birds) and they die in horrible ways and I hate it. Bloody depressing.

Jay Farrar has an LP out! Good god this just made my day. I completely forgot it was coming. The fact that even THIS news doesn’t help my mood is telling. I’m buying it though.

I feel so neglectful of my website. My life has become consumed by moving and workload and helping people with their broken home computers. The cool part is my new place is so sweet. Everything’s pretty set except my room, which is considerably smaller. Ramona hates the new apartment and … More

Today was Gardner Hardware’s Annual Anvil Drop. Every year they go up to the top of their building and drop eggs, cantaloupe, pineapples, watermelons, and ultimately an anvil onto a junker below. It was great.
There were about 100 people there. They give out free food and it’s generally … More

A short gap in dates as life as been way too crazy. Interesting things (to me):
I signed the lease with Alan so I get to move next week.
We had a meeting with this construction firm today at work. When the guy found out who my dad was he immediately placed … More
