Since my family had an old copy of The Texas Book of Lists, I knew Dr. Pepper was invented there, but I was looking at a Virginia facts book at work, and it seems there is a Virginia connection.

As you know, I know nothing about tattooing. However, I certainly wonder why someone would want a picture of a giant octopus on their leg. I suppose it's too late to change the picture, though, right?

Nicholas Christopher has been one of my favorite authors for a few years now. I've read a lot of his poetry, but I like his novels better. Have you read A Trip to the Stars?
I think I'm in love

MTV's Diary with Jack Black
The guy is just a rambling dummy of corny phrases and scowls. So why is he so goddamn funny??

He's got a little geeky cottage industry growing. Those old Jay & Silent Bob/ RPG Gargoyles have something new to swoon over. I see 'em all the time. Acne like a lepors butthole and the whole Beavis & Butthead cackle. It's nationwide, baby. They all have the same Tenacious D t-shirt too. Hey, if they're happy....then I'm happy.
Is The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari a good film? I just borrowed it and I'm not sure what to expect. I LOVE the Pere Ubu song. The shots on the box look like some of the dreams I have.
My manager gave me a VHS copy of DILLINGER w/ Warren Oates today. I'm 'bout to get my macho on.

Nothing much to report. I just didn't want anyone to think I overdosed on cold medicine.
Yesterday, I worked 9-5 n saw a band last night. They're pretty conventional jam-band-based, Liquid Lobster. I talked to the bassist n keyboard guy; they were very humble, even offered me free CDs, but I felt I hadda give an up-n-coming band some cash, so I did.

yeah "bad houses" is a great song -- really shows you that 1) albini was a junkie for reals there for awhile at least, and 2) his songs, his few songs, that show any type of understanding for rather than contempt or irony towards, were totally his best.
mars volta et al -- that's music for kids who haven't heard lots of other shit.
just like a lot of the bands i loved in the '80s when i was a kid -- i wouldn't have dug 'em so much if i had more of a clue, you know? that's just the way shit is.
oh, and thanks for the kind words, my nizzle.

Yeah...I always At The Drive-In was way overrated. There were a couple of good songs, but I think those guys are better known for their afros than anything else.
Drixoral is the best drug ever. Totally relaxing, and I'm still functional.
I know I said it before, but it needed to be said again. Stop blowing your lunch money on pot and ecstacy! Drixoral is where it's at.

I don't watch anything serious on the box. Maybe a little Law & Order. I'm in a second shift timeslot so I always miss primetime stuff. That's good that they got a same sex marriage. I don't see why some states are still dicking around with that? If people wanna be foolish enough to get married....let 'em. Same with the military. Wanna go glory-holin' in the Middle East....saddle up buckaroo! I;ll be back in the states huffin Ready Whip and watching a game show. I just can't understand why being gay is still some big issue. Where have all of these people been?
What a day... Usually, if I'm bugged it's cuz someone was a dumbass to me at work. Today, I received two very bad entertainment-page news items that are worse blows to me than surliness from rude junior-high kids...

Fawlty Towers was brilliant, but I think I've watched it to much. Open All Hours was a much underrated comedy, maybe not in the class of Fawlty Towers but close.

I watched Laurel Canyon last night on DVD. It was pretty good. Fran McDormand was excellent playing against her type. I liked the whole rock 'n' roll setting as well.
Funny - I was using my last couple of hours at work to do some really important work-- which is to say, looking up avant-garde jazz CDs on Amazon... and what did I stumble upon? A suggested buying list by one Dusty J. Hill. Hmmm.
How much free jazz have I not heard? Apparently, quite a lot. AMM is a name I've seen but never...

Castro interests me. Despite his poor human rights record, I have a deep admiration for many of his achievements. I wonder what will happen when he eventually goes?
Well, I wrote a big, long thing on Lost In Translation that got zapped when the site was under repairs...
I liked the movie. I got a bit teary-eyed when I left the theater. It's a subtle, slowly unfolding movie, with some occassional bits that are more comedic or more along the lines of movie conventions. But overall, Sofia Coppola has made a thankfully downbeat...

If it's Irish, I'm there. I'm a fuckin' Irish Werewolf. When is the BEN STILLER SHOW going to make it to DVD. I love that gangsta rap skit KILL DOUG SO AND SO. Evert time I drink the ICE beer. Be it the more regal Molson Ice or the muffler repair man's nectar of choice MILWAUKEE's BEST ICE...I'm in for a fall. Us ham and eggers up here in Northwest Ohio refer to it as BEAST ICE or PISS. Highlights of the evening include me shattering an old chair and harrassing a black widow spider. Brawn...and BRAINS. Everybody plays the fool. At least I didn't fall into the bonfire. Perhaps I should get a mohwak.

It was actually a pretty boring hurricane... which is fine with me. Around Northern VA, and DC, there is much more likely to be flooding damage post-storm than anything else.

Amen on the "Lost In Translation". By starting a jazz band, do you mean starting a noise band? I can't play jazz. Sometimes the band sounds a little like early '70s Sun Ra. Not that we are anywhere near the master, but you can catch the ansemble vibe. Why don't you make like a 10-20 minute tape of you improvising on your keyboard? I'll put it in the mix at the next jam session. Then I'll send you a copy of the finished product. I already need to send you the movie DEAD HEAT with Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams. I found two copies in Toledo and I'm dancing a jig. Classic Piscopo line

Um..... Err....... Ahhhh.... the Beaker CD still hasn't been pressed, coz our bassist is a slacker. Me and him were going 50/50 on getting it properly glass mastered and pressed, but he hasn't come up with his half of the dosh 
However, we've been selling slightly cheaper CD-R versions with the exact same artwork for a couple of months now. So its up to you if you want to hold on for a while or not mate?
Cheers for remembering about us anyway!

But I thought EVERYone had a great theory on the mystery of Afflect and Lopez! Everyone!
Me, my theories are all about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. But they aren't very good theories. They basically go:
1. Tom Cruise is a bad actor (mostly) with a big nose and he's not tall enough for nicole anyway.
2. Nicole Kidman is beautiful and a good actress (mostly) and that's why they broke up, and also she should marry me.

Nope...I think I was depressed but channeled it through violence. That's all over now. It was "New Cute Girls and MILFS" a-plenty in the store today. I know MILFS sounds really crude, but I don't know any other way to say it. Plus they've always got the 17 year old daughter who looks just like them. Man that does the trick.
Monday night a little Farmer Jack brand White Zinfandel and catch a foreign flick with mom. And then reinact scenes from foreign film with MILF in her husbands little real estate war room. "There's no fighting in the War Room"
Tuesday night behind the dumpster outside a trendy Top 40 danceteria with mommies lil' angel. Shit, I left the GHB at home. Oh well, Captain Morgan will do the trick.
