Good god!
Good to hear from you again

good god you're alive ha ha
Plus its like where have you been

Woah. I did a double take when I saw that your post.

Your work looks great! We shoud hang out when you move to san francisco. woot.

I really like this one:


You should come around more often...

Yeah, everything has been pretty chill.

I really love the pics from your art. Is there a special theme, can you explain what the concept behind?

Your stuff looks way different than anything I remember you doing or saying that you were gonna do. I myself have taken a break from painting since January to record these songs. I'm ready to get back in the garage.

That's good. I thnk everyone should go through a phase where the stuff they're doing has that immediacy to it.

Yeah he's gonna be fine and I'm grateful for that. Thanks for the kind words and the hug

Happy Birthday my friend

Happy Birthday!

So, that whole movie quote thread in the film group has convinced me that you have outstanding taste in movies.

Does one really have to choose between having tons of free time and having amazing taste? Can't one have both?

I don't watch as many movies during the summer....that's when I listen to baseball and read way more than anyone should. The fall/winter/spring, though, lots'o'movies. I've a tendency to stick to the classics.

I love how you ask what else I am reading as if Moby Dick just isn't enough!

I usually have a few books going. often one novel and then a bunch of larger in scope things. Right now I am working my way slowly through the complete plays of George Bernard Shaw. I am also slowly plodding along with The Histories of Herodotus. Last night I read a couple of short stories by Angela Carter.....I think I may hate her though and I'm not sure how much more I will read.

And you? Anything on your plate?

I've never read any Moore, but I have heard of him. I don't know the others. You know, except for Burgess, who I worship slightly.

This weekend I finished The 39 Steps which the Hitchcock film is "based on"....wow, one of the worst book-to-film transfers I know of. They're barely alike. though, to be fair, they're both very good. I just rewatched 39 Steps last night just to see how different they are. I also finished up one called The Vatican Cellars by Andre Gide....it was alright. I recently read a collection of Dashiel Hammet novels, including The Thin Man....that finally lead me to seeing the movie after having meant to for many years. Good stuff all around. I don't really see how they could possibly have made sequels out of it, but I know they did.

But, what I don't get is that the man referred to as "the thin man" is dead in the first movie....so, how the hell are there sequels?

Well, duh....

Seriously, though, why not just call it something else!?! Before I read the book, I assumed Nick was the thin man....not so.

By the way, I just got an email from NetFlix that the final disc of the Jeeves and Wooster series is en route to me....rock!
