BR5-49 opened for Southern Culture on the Skids last night and they are fucking AMAZING. Genuine country & western music, with a whole lot of humor thrown in. Serious musicians having a good time. They did Hank Williams's "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" and I about melted.

And Southern Culture on the Skids kicked my ass, as usual. I love those guys and that gal. Mary...

I thought today and realized that last night I needed to not think about it for a while in order to stay sane. So my roommate gave me lots of rum. That was very nice of her, wasn't it?

I'm breaking down and watching Lord of the Rings tonight. One of my friends got the new super-deluxe DVD and we've all been invited to watch. I never saw it in the theater (never could get through the books, for that matter), but, y'know, it's free now. And lord knows I won't see my friends enough this weekend, what with all of us going to...

Lord of the Rings is pretty good - I'm not much for fantasy myself, but the movie was really well made. Awesome looking sets and scenery...

Yea, squash seeds are pretty much like pumpkin seeds. mMm! I'd never heard of eating them either, it was an experiment, heh.

That's me and Rob Zombie, taken last year at Ear X-Tacy in Louisville the day before he and Ozzy kicked my ass live and in concert.

He's kinda short, y'know. Nice guy.
nudwig:
They kicked yer ass at the concert? You look like bros in this pic.
al:
whoaholycrap! You look like not a big wussy in that picture. Nice.

Don't worry, I won't poke my brainpan. I'm bein' real careful.

Who knew the Japanese were haiku-ing about monkeys back in the late 1600s? Okay, I'm sure someone knew, like my friend Rachel, but... damn. There's a whole book of this stuff called "The Monkey's Raincoat" that was published back in 1690. I feel like I was born way, way too late....

[Posted here and in Maxx's journal, so as to minimize confusion and whatnot:]

Don't forget, Maxx, my good man: Those have been translated from Japanese. They don't match up perfectly in English, but in their native tongue they (more than likely, since I don't speak enough Japanese to know, nor do I have the original text) follow the "rules" for haiku. No one's lied to you, at least not about this.
maxx:
How'd you get to be so damned smart?

OK. I'm aloud to like the second one guilt-free now.

What an awful autumn this has been so far. No crisp fall days here, just dark, cold and damp. I didn't even leave the house last weekend. I'm spending another Friday inside, but I've got Amelie to keep me company, so I should be okay.

Forty-two days till our trip. Well, 41 now that it's past midnight in my time zone, but, you know... 42. tongue

tell me about it. today was awful .. and it's SNOWING here. mad

What a lovely day I've had. New Mary set, new Bill Hicks CDs, new (old) comics. And I got a Bill Hicks poster and other new (old) comics yesterday. Hooray for new (old) stuff.

Modern pop culture might have killed Bill Hicks if he hadn't died of cancer, I believe. As if five or six reincarnations of the New Kids on the Block wouldn't be...

45 days, just a month and a half until I'm in New York. It's still kind of unbelievable. Amelie hadn't known me very long before she invited me and, putting aside that I hadn't known her very long either, I accepted before I even knew I'd have a way there. I know. Screwed up.

But things have gone very well indeed for this monkey the...

Yeah, Lefty. I should have said "dead elephant." And in fact, now that I've edited my entry, I have said "dead elephant."

Ta-da.

Yesterday was very exciting. Okay, not really. I got my new comics (mmm, Grant Morrison's NEW X-MEN hardcover)... and I bought luggage! For my trip! To New York! So that's... sort of exciting.

Amelie asked me last night why I like her so much besides all the cute underwear she buys and I had an answer. That felt really good. People seem silly to me...

I think the people who KNOW why they like people are smarter.

And I read the thing in parenthesis as "new x-men hardcore", and thought that would be the best porno EVER.

I love you, monkey. smile

Fifty days. Fifty days until I go to New York. Fifty days until I spend a week with the most awesome girl I've never met. We're very excited, Amelie and I. I can't remember the last time I've been so excited about a person, place, or thing. (That'd be Amelie, New York, and... vacation, I guess. Ah, nouns.)

I finally took my (most recent) tuition...

My head is fucking killing me. I've had a headache the last two days or so; it's waned a bit, off and on, but now it's even worse. I don't know if I'm hungry, or stressed, or if it's the weather, or I miss Amelie, or I need to stop buying comics on eBay, or what. (I'd like to see you pass on the first...
