Motorcycling is incredibly humbling. Most of the time I can handle my bike, but I enjoy twisty back roads a lot and it's still something I'm not entirely comfortable with. It's a huge jump from driving cars where I have a lot of experience, comfort and confidence, to one where all of these things evaporate, and my good reflexes for driving are left back in...

swanage is older! swanage has surpassed the "quarter-life" milestone! swanage refers to himself in the third person!

I suppose I'm a weird kind of person in that I do not like making a big deal about my birthday really. In general, very few people know when my birthday is, and I generally like to keep it that way, because I don't particularly want any attention...

Today it rained. I went and watched it from my balcony, lying on my back so that the entire world looked upside down. As the rain streamed from the sky, it looked fundamentally different, it didn't look like rain at all. It didn't look like a fountain, or a waterfall. It looked alien.

It amazes me how twisting the way you look at things, ever...

"Gawrsh, I simultaneously despise and adore that new profile photo!"

and why is that?
vivid:
Did you know that Denzel Washington has a perfectly symetrical face? That is why so many find him attractive.
Not I tho, tho I.

and funny thing is ... the photo that the avatar is from is completely unedited. So hows THAT for fake. =)

I have a king sized water bed.

I'm rather fond of the thing, except during a little ritual some of you might be familiar with, called changing the sheets.

You see, a water bed is filled with water, and a king size water bed is filled with much water. The dimensions of my particular bed are 70" by 82" by 7.5". Filled with water.

Being sick is a pain. I am looking forward to the present immunological battle occuring within my corpus to be concluded. I'm rooting for the white blood cells. Rotting is much less interesting and unpredictable than living.

Go! Get thee to thy local vendor of electronic entertainments and purchase Guitar Hero II (and Guitar Hero if you've not played that yet).

Though your wrists will rue the day you listened to me, you shall be a happy happy nerd indeed once you lay hands upon the wonder that is this game.
robotsatemyhair:
I've not played either!

*gasp!*

GOOD FOR YOU! I personally hate long hair on guys.. and I think you look leaps and bounds better with the new short cut. Love it, love it.

"Heavens above, you won't add complete strangers as friends?

That's almost like you don't want to devalue the entire concept of a friend. Or some such. Crazy talk. The nerve.

I hope you're happy with yourself, your serious eyebrows, and your epic ass."

and I know. Im a bitch, no?
robotsatemyhair:
I like the hair short.

I also like the whole package.

Stop being adorable.

In a continuation of the theme from the last time I updated this oft neglected journal, I was talking about The D.

This one, also shall be about The D, but I promise that the odds are good this will result in the cessation of all Tenacious D discussion.

You see, I went to see The D in concert last night at the Patriot Center...

A couple years ago a friend introduced me to Tenacious D. I say introduced in much the same way that european settlers introduced influenza ridden blankets to the natives of this continent, as it is something that you may, at first blush, have a negative reaction to, but with time will grow on you regardless.

Tonight I went and saw The Pick of Destiny. I...

So around 4:30 I get a call from my friend Ethan. Apparently the guys doing construction at his office dumped some nails in the road, and he managed to catch one with his new tires. He's got his car jacked up and can't break any of the lug nuts free because someone handed a monkey an impact gun, and the monkey torqued them all down...
