This just in: It is physically possible to grin from ear to ear.

Hooray for the antithesis of gaunt!

In other news, who wants to meet for drinks later? I'm looking snappy today, and I don't want to waste this one day of style perfection I'm having.

Apparently, there is a genre of music that tries to express, sonically, what Julius Caesar must have gone through when he had an epileptic seizure. From what I can tell of the 10-odd people bopping their heads to the caterwauling of the lead singer of the headliner at Spaceland tonight (who, by the way, sounded like a cat in heat stuck in a wood chipper),...

I'm listening to the Wedding Present, switching between reading a general technical brief about the PS3 I got from work and reading a product brochure about Ducati motorcycles, and thinking about a young Jane Fonda soliciting women for threesomes with her and Roger Vadim.

Is it wrong that I have hard-on right now?

I'm also in a fighting mood. I really want to be in...

I was so tired when I got home from work last night that I just crashed on my couch and fell asleep in my clothes. Now, I'm awake, with a sour film on my tongue that tastes vaguely like the curried chicken I had for lunch yesterday and in a mood that can best be described as 'frisky'.

Fuck, I couldn't fall asleep last night and woke up at an ungodly hour, again. That's 6 nights in a row and counting. These are surely the first steps towards waking hallucinations and madness.

I keep stomping but the bugs keep crawling. Somebody, please, fucking shoot me.

There are some songs that should never be covered, and one of them is 'Radio, Radio' by Elvis Costello & the Attractions. How can you recapture the simmering anger energizing the original version?

I've been watching the X-Files on SciFi of late. I can't believe I used to be such a dork for this show. I feel the same way about Brit pop from the...

Dude, I would totally do Ewan McGregor if I was gay. Any guy who braves the cold winter of the Canadian Arctic just to get a glimpse of polar bears is cool in my book.

In other news, there are too many chicks on my 'Friends' list. I'm not gay-boyfriend-in-whom-you-confide material!

That is to say, I'm more than that.

Who wants to go to Benihana?

I went to get my taxes done today, the first time I've ever had to file in the United States. I was hoping not to have to pay anything. Turns out I'm going to get a refund that is just over $3000. What's up with that? I was going to hold off on buying a motorcycle until the summer, but now...

I have to be...

What makes me happy at the moment:

- 'Ageless Beauty' by Stars
- The New Pornographers
- Neko Case's voice
- Knowing I'm going to be the cool uncle in a couple of months
- Being a video game programmer
- Motorcycles
- Endless possibilities

Today, I made a girl smile. I never knew the world could be remade with such a simple gesture, but...
