This morning, at about 3 am, I realized the stark difference between North Minneapolis (where I'd been living before) and Portland. In Minneapolis, anytime that two carloads of young, pants-sagging, self-described niggaz emptied out in front of my house and started yelling, I would get on the floor so as not to be hit by a stray bullet. This morning, after about ten minutes of...

Hey there! Been a little while, but I've been keeping up with your entries. But yeah about Monkey, it just seems like a very few people have either the innate, or learned (or both) ability to create art like nothing heard of before. But Peter Gabriel has done both that and created something that stirs our animal natures. (i.e., his art really rocks.) It can be appreciated both on a purely evolved, intellectual level, and with our primordial instincts. Gabriel's a genius and creative savant, to be sure, but in all fairness, it took him three records to make his pinnacle, Security, though his third album is very nearly as good.

Anyway, no I agree, the hugging you describe above is a bit creepier than the live rounds going off. I imagine if I was there with you, it would have reminded me of the children who all have Richard James' face in the Aphex Twin video for Come To Daddy.

Big Fan is good, not great. Oswalt does do a competent job, however.

Every time I watch Dexter, it makes me want to eat ham steak. I don't know why.

On a totally different topic, I've been thinking more and more about going back to school. Going from an undergrad degree in sociolinguistics to a grad degree in biorobotics is a pretty big stretch, though. I may never be done with school. I may never get to put...

Old man bites tenderly, indeed. I love Silent Library.

I don't think that will ever stop being funny.

I have a six-and-a-half pound, 28-day dry aged, bone-in prime rib roast. I plan to do devious and ungodly things to it. In fact, my husband has just informed me that this meal is going to be so grand-scale, he'll need to take the entire day off work tomorrow to prepare it.

I love it when we go epic.
lemonkid:
Sounds goooood.

Every time I'm sick and my husband is nice enough to go get me food, he always asks me what I want. My first thought is obviously, "pudding!" My second thought is invariably, "Do they make meat-flavored pudding?" I've apparently asked him for meat pudding more than once while in a groggy haze.

So, yeah, being the great guy that he is, my husband is...

I'm thinking chunks of short ribs in the bottom. We could also go duck confit.

Today I was going to go downtown to have lunch with my husband. I stopped by 7-11 to get a couple bottles of water, and the clerk said to me, "Hey, I remember you! You buy more water for your husband! Your husband so much rich guy, he too good for drink water out of bathroom!" I don't know where he got that from, as...

You know what I like to see tattoos of on strippers?

Jesus.

That's right, Jesus. Complete with the crown of thorns and beatific smile. Here's my bloody Jesus back piece, here's my cooter, enjoy your steak.

It's been a strange day all around.

Your dinner sounds so much classier than mine.

I'll be eating some version of Chinese food for Xmas dinner. Oh well. Maybe beggar's chicken.
baudot:
Aye. Life is long and strange. There should be other chances. Still, spending time with the awesome people sooner rather than later is always good.

I still love the Flash one. I think I said that last time you put up a picture of them.
baudot:
Yikes. Now regretting I didn't put the word out better where we were headed so that we could have met up.

I'm feeling very Dimmer these days. Some of my favorites:





And not Dimmer, but still Shayne Carter (oh, how young and terrible they look, but I love the song):
