i started to make a power pop mix last night, as i am apt to do such things, and realized i don't own very much. and then i started thinking, and when i was thinking, i became confused. you know, as to what power pop is exactly.

i know cheap trick is. i think big star is. i know peter gabriel isn't. beyond that... phhbbbbbbtt.

i think it's fair to say that getting drunk for 3 dollars is one of the more satisfying things in life. that and pie in general.

so i made a classic drunken mistake tonight: giving a girl my number instead of asking for hers.

i'm always incredibly wary of obviously hitting on girls, see, because my roommates often mention creepy guys who've hit on them at work. apparently, trying to engage a cute record store employee in conversation constitutes attempted sexual assault in this party of the country. i was not...

i need to get out of this city. potentially out of this country.

any suggestions?

my new profile picture is bob pollard from guided by voices. he rocks this sorry little planet.

last night was pretty fun. a bunch of people randomly showed up at the apartment, and i was already pretty drunk, so i didn't care. i'll probably get trashed tonight too, since i've nothing constructive to do. hmm.

this one girl who works with two of my roommates wants to play diablo sometime, which i think is great. i never really play video games anymore,...

lord of the rings rocked. the 2nd movie was a little disappointing, but the source material was pretty tough to work with, so that's understandable. with this one, jackson cut out the parts that i would've cut, and shortened the most confusing part of the book (that gathering up the dead folks in the mountain bit.) and for the most part, it was hard to...

something i'm considering:

if i should ever, at some point, be caught listening to "this american life" and looking at www.mcsweeneys.net at the same time, can i be tried for hipster war crimes?

or would i need to subcribe to the mcsweeney's quarterly for that?

wow, i look like such an asshole in my new profile picture. AND i obviously need to shave and get a haircut. fuckin' a.

scotch burns oh so good. i never knew! i thought it was some awful old man's drink, like a brandy manhattan, and it turns out to be totally wizard. as the kids say. also, i'm prepared to declare "swingers" the best christmas movie ever.

and as a last drunken note: in the future, we will become so saturated with pop culture that should someone actually...

okay, the holidays make me fucking lose it. i was reading "marx's concept of man" a few days ago, now i'm getting high, watching a bunch of TV and losing my temper over gift wrapping.

it's still nice to be home though. i can't imagine i'd be having much fun in madison what with most of my friends being home for christmas. or home for...

i suck at gift giving. i always think i'll come up with something interesting, and i ALWAYS end up giving cds and books. good cds and books, but cds and books nonetheless.

this probably has something to do with the fact that i'm usually disappointed with any gift that isn't of the cd or book variety.

but still... i'm running out of cds to give...
