next door there were several trucks making noises at 730am. is that even legal?
now at 8:58am, of course theyre quiet.
i also dont like it when its cold in los angeles in the morning. its 52 degrees. not why we pay the rent here that we do. for this temperatures we could be living in indiana for a fraction.
but then i went to laughing squid - SINCE I WAS AWAKE - and lo, this quasi arcade fire band has released this whimsical video and it made me wanna take on the day.
also cant believe corey haim is dead.
make out with your crushes. never know what tomorrow may bring.
milwaukee has still yet to deliver a proper man, making poor lindsay blame herself. WI!?
you know lindsay from minnesota. who once dated that billionaire only to run off to wisconsin to find some corn fed prince charming in gods country? seems like no matter who we are, what age we be, or where our crib at, we all share the same patterns:
I either spend months with someone I dislike, pretending that I can ignore everything about them that makes me cringe, only because they seem so deeply infatuated with me...
And then, when I actually like someone I convince myself that they could not possibly like me. It's as if I've come to expect that relationships can only be one sided.
my prognosis: this sounds like a woman who needs to come to austin starting next weekend and hug drink it out.
you all know mr todd martens, but do you know why hes smiling?
cuz he beat the f outta cancer.
see that scar? todd was at the doctor and the doctor said:
all those years of basking in the right field bleachers of wrigley has gotten you skin cancer
todd said left field doc, left field. (right field sucks.)
then todd sucker punched his primary care physician, rifled through the cabinets until he found a scalpel. and
cut
that
evil
out of his 48 inch python.
totally not his pitching arm but that doesnt even matter either.
what matters is he took the cancer and showed it to his totally freaked out and cowering doctor sprawled on the floor and said is this it? IS THIS THE CANCER DOC?!!!!?!?!11?
he was all yes i guess yes!
and todd flicked it out the window
opened the door
paid the nurse his $25 co-pay
and sewed up his arm with a guitar string left handed
almost every time i am asked about the keys to blogging i say first you really have to blog and somewhere their excuse is but i dont have the time.
meanwhile all of them understand the beauty and the glory and the satisfaction of what many have called the Quickie.
it should be of no surprise that in these A.D.D. days of instant messaging, drive thru fast food, and chat roulette...
a short powerful blast of reportage from ur part of the world might be exactly what yr fans want,
and what yr perfectly capable of delivering.
for example, yesterday andy threw a keg party and the craftsman was delicious and the guests were dynamic, fascinating, and mindblowing. even the rain came.
