i recently bought a christmas present that cost approximately $20 for someone i've known only a few months. today, i balked at spending $25 on a present for the man who has been my best friend since fourth grade, who has not abandoned me through my years of assholish behavior, who indeed has been more like family to me than most of my family, mostly...

"One night a few years after 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' was released, I came upon John Candy (1950-1994) sitting all by himself in a hotel bar in New York, smoking and drinking, and we talked for a while. We were going to be on the same TV show the next day. He was depressed. People loved him, but he didn't seem to know that, or...

that's interesting. i'm imagining the scene from priscilla, queen of the desert where the asian woman pops whiffle balls out of her hoo hoo. she is definitely mighty talented.
you're difficult to talk to.

AMAZING. I feel sympathetic already.

i'm trying to figure out a way to live at work, because frankly, i like it better there these days. there's a lot of food and comfortable places to sleep, but sadly, also a lot of security.

Heh, I love that Decemberists song. I'm still partial to Grace Cathedral Hill, though.

you wake up.
well, that's not quite right. consciousness returns, let's put it that way. you can see, but there is only a dim, flickering fluorescent light illuminating the room. you can hear, but only the buzzing of that same light. there is no feeling except intense cold.
you see rusty steel gurneys scattered haphazardly about the room. the floor, a dark blue tile pattern,...

Your profile pic never ceases to amaze me. I can always count on it for a chuckle.
four o'clock: winding down at work. soon, i will take off early, so as to have plenty of time to catch the bus to the showbox to see thursday and coheed and cambria. gradually, however, i realize my hands won't stop shaking, my heart is pounding out of my chest, and my stomach is about to void its contents all over starbucks' internal mail. a...

Peter: Yeah, I'm looking for toilet training books.
Salesman: Oh yes. I can help you there. "Everybody Poops" is still the standard of course... and then we have the less popular "Nobody Poops But You"....
Peter: Hmm. See, were Catholic so, uh...
Salesman: Oh, so you'll want "You're A Naughty Child And That's Concentrated Evil Coming Out Of The Back of You".
Peter: Perfect.
i like what the radio told you.

hi. some thoughts, most or all of which are surely not worth recording or reading:
· dear seattle: i do truly love you, and love your cold and your clouds, and do not mind your rain too terribly. but please, no more muggy weather. i thought i left that shit behind in new orleans.

news spreading... same with me! it's horrible. but I also think that it is one way of still seeing genuine emotion in people, especially on the off chance they hadn't already heard, and they knew who he was. but it IS horrible! well we can be in the same selfish horrible person boat together. apparently the Ark needs us. which is even funnier considering there's been so much rain here on vancouver island. maybe not in seattle. wait, that wasn't funny at all. i wish there was some way of erasing, or as I like to say, "deleting", things that i have typed. someday.
and the headaches? *nasal mom-esque voice* are you drinking enough water? you're probably dehydrated. or you have the syphillis. is there any chance you've caught the syphillis? you know, your father might know more about it. let me ask him....
oy.

in order to like pinback, one must.... oh man i don't know. buy a cd of theirs? (blue screen life is a must) put it on, then proceed to enjoy it by taking in the sounds through your ears.
i hate when people say "i hear music", as if theres any other way to take it in. you're not special, that's how i process sounds too.
(thank mitch hedburg for that. i really ruined the funniness of it.)
