gonk?

I just got your post card today. You are so flippin' cool, you don't even know.

bartending is fun, i just got burnt out on it. no sense in opening an old wound. if you read my journal entries from earlier this year, march or april especially, you'll understand the burnout, though.

Hey there---

Glad you had a great remainder of your vacation. Yeah, Bush Gardens was cool. I mean it was great having some intelligent conversation. Your right though, the traffic sucked, though it didn't take me too long to get home. That's the one thing I really hate about living in Hampton Roads, its traffic HELL.

Not to much going on here lately though. As a matter of fact I'm pretty bored. You know what they say though, only boring people get bored. So I guess I'm in trouble.

You need to talk to someone about getting me on the SGDC group. I tried but never got a reply.

It's raining here today, and I really need to run. Yes, I mean literally run. I'm supposed to run a half-marathon on labor day and I'm losing training days.

So, I'm out for now. Don't be a stranger though.

LATE!!!!!!

North Carolina beaches, in my veryvery limited experience, are veryvery nice. Welcome back!

I played the viola and violin until I graduated from high school.

Well I played trumpet from middle school to high school. In college I really didn't touch it and still don't. I still have it and from time to time play it, just to remember when I was good at something.

Yeah, it's a pretty good article. But really it's not new to anyone who likes "world music". My group (are you in it? The world music group?) has a short disclaimer in the description, even. Like any label, it doesn't really mean anything.

I have one other wig, but it looks ridiculous. More of a novelty thing (it's purple)

Ah, math puzzles! I'm bad at those But I encourage you to post some in the puzzles group!

Wow those celeb deliveries look pretty cool. I always got the impression that Amazon doesn't turn much of a profit, but I guess they have enough money to be able to do this?

For a second there I thought that his fingers were stuck in mouse traps.

Cool
Whats the symbol on the bottem mean? I see it alot

I believe they recently reissued it, so it's not so hard to find - you should check out Roland Kirk's album the Inflated Tear.. easily rates among his absolutely best work.

Oh, I didn't realize it was a VHS copy. I guess I didn't read it thoroughly enough. In that case, I'll bow out since I do not currently own a functional VCR. Drat.

When are you going to Rehoboth? I love it over there. My parents are retiring to that area when they return from their 2-year stint abroad. Anyway, I wouldn't mind catching up with Cruxy and yourself there, if'n that's alright with youse guys.

As I have mentioned, I am newly single again and should have more time for hanging out and the like. Actually, I'd really like to organize a road trip with some people to...somewhere cool...I don't know where. NYC is always fun, but its cost-prohibitive for the student-types we know. Hell, maybe we all just head to the beach or the mountains, drink bourbon and beer and act stupid for a couple of days. That could be entertaining.

Oh, I would argue that RM's Avalon was a pretty decent record, but I suppose that's stating the obvious. How is that new Voivod record? I hadn't even heard that Newstead joined the band. A quick check of the band's website also explains that original vocalist Snake is back in the fold. Very cool! I may have to check that one out, myself. Does it make me one of the musically unwashed masses to say that I downloaded Trout Mask Replica and Bat Chain Puller recently, but couldn't get into either one? We can't all be "cool" like that, eh?

you wrote: "We need more songs about paranoid, insane masturbation. Preferably power-pop ones."

I'll see if I can come up with anything.

i had to read mysteries of pittsburgh in college for an english class, believe it or not, and i fucking hated it. i don't remember anything about it now, except that i was glad when we were done with it.

we also read keri hulme's "the bone people" which i loved, so the class wasn't a total wash.

Cheech!

Eagles of Death Metal: Just heard them today, totally thought of you. If you haven't picked this up, you really should.

one if my Things To Do In Life is to see an aurora.

And no, you're not crazy - we have similar facial shapes, long noses. Actually we also have similar, um, chest shapes, come to think of it. Though she's completely gorgeous.

I'll give Dead Man another shot. Honestly, I love slow films (I'm a Bergman fan, after all). It could be that I was not in the mood for such a tempo at the time.

When you discuss death as fate, doesn't that go for all of us? Are we all the dead men?

thanks for the compliment, you have a great collection of pictures here.
