you wouldn't consider ramones and slf a little like the godfathers of pop punk? biggrin
illbillzillbub:
never paid that much attention to the Dandy Warhols,the new stuff is supposed to be more electro than before..Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran fame produced most of it...I'll give it a listen..and from the interview i like their attitude, so if they tour I'll check em out.Nala was in a video shoot for em just recently
dont worry 'bout those songs,just hit stuff
good luck with your house hunting

are you EVER coming back?
i am fond of being exaggerative....

hey what is that movie absolute beginners about?
it sounds familiar, i can even hear the title song from the soundtrack. but recall nothing more.
i loved labyrinth so much that i painted a scene from it on the wall in my high school.
(mural projects were our final in my art class.)

today i reccomend: everyone must listen to the mummies

last night, did a little bowling, sans alcohol. 3 games. scores were moderate, 125-116-126. hadn't bowled in a couple weeks, and i never really felt like my game was on, despite stringing together some consecutive closed frames in all 3 games.

no other adventures to relate, will probably spend most of the day doing laundry. woo woo!

-------------------------------------------------------------

kitchen cleaned, and 8 loads of laundry....

yeah dude... no shit. 8 loads?
that's too much... i'd just burn it all and start from scratch.
tunnelslats:
I was using all the layers I had, to no avail. I'm better now, and I didn't even need to resort to whiskey.
I think I have about 4 loads of laundry piled up. They're impatiently awaitiing my next day off, but I think in the meantime they're plotting a rebellion.

tonight was dick night.

dick dale ... such a great show. if you haven't seen him, you should. i caught him about 5 years ago, and again tonight. great fun. at one point, he ambled out through the crowd while playing, out the door, and stood out in the street playing guitar for a while before making his way back in and up on-stage. pretty...

welp

the weekend of chicago blackout is over. 5 months of half-assed planning yielded a weekend of immeasurable fun. mad props to dollface for the big dinner friday evening, and mad props to all the attendees (jab, chiquita, deadite, zomboid13, tunnelslats, kurtz, kopper, and pilar) for being themselves and contributing to the fucking fantastic time that was had. a weekend of champions, no question.

right. kurtz came in last night and he, dollface, and i went out and did some partying. we christened it "Day 0" of the forthcoming huge party weekend. hit a couple bars in town, headed home around 3.30.

tonight, for Day 1, the rest of the crew comes in ('cept kopper who gets in tomorrow for Day2). i have a feeling this is gonna hurt.

ugh

why do i let people talk me into drinking more when i've had enough and don't want any more? bleh. i'm not as hung over as i should be, maybe cuz i puked my guts up after i got home. throat hurts.

other than that, party was a success ... met a few more people that are supposedly big wigs in the chicago technology...

went to the racing bar to watch the race. place was basically empty, which was great because i was afraid of what kind of people would be there. good race. i want to race again so bad frown then went to the hungry brain -- cool place. jazz combo playing, then detroit cobras on the juke. good stuff.
