My PSA:

Hello, Bostonians. Of all the terrorist bombings and attempted bombings that have taken place in the past two decades all over the world, how many of them involved small brightly lit and easily visible devices? Moreover, what is the maximum potential damage the signs used by AdultSwim could have caused? Considering their small size and that they were generally located either well above...

Finally! They finally set a time for a second phone interview. It's on Friday afternoon, so I guess I'll be studying my pants off until then. Anyone want to talk about data structures, algorithms or multi-tiered applications development? C'mon, it'll make you a hit at all the parties.

When I last had internet at home it had jumped up from around $43 to around $51 a month. Now that I'm looking at it again, they want over $60 a month for it. As they get more subscribers to drive cost per user down and the tech gets cheaper, the rates go up. Fuck'em.

Does anybody have any better ideas than Comcast? I'd be...

I got another package. This one contained:

CDs from The Sonics, The Tears and Tipsy.

The book "The Luminous Brush: Painting With Egg Tempera"

and the big-ass 5 DVD set of "Fanny & Alexander".

This one also had a billing address on it and it turns out it was sent from one of my brothers. I haven't gotten around to calling him and I'm not...

Back on Valentine's Day, a spanky new wah pedal sat in a package for me on my doorstep. It's a CryBaby Classic with a Fasel inductor. I'm not yet sure who sent it.

That is all.

I knew that if I taunted the weather enough, it'd give in and get colder. Weather is so gullible.

I've decided that since winter seems to have forgotten Seattle (proper), I'm going to act as though it is now spring.

Ha ha, I got to feel the earthquake and you didn't. The epicenter was 5 miles from work. Absolutely no one said anything about it for at least a half hour afterwards and then everyone started talking and getting excited about it.

My eyes are bigger than my savings.

Cast iron is the wave of the future - catch it!

I have 10 days to:

- Make at least two, preferably three great albums.
- Develop an addiction to hardcore drugs; preferably either heroin or a hodgepodge of LSD, shrooms and weed. Maybe get fucked up on ether every once in a while.
- Become enigmatic. Being stoic in most situations, this shouldn't be too hard. It'd be easier if I was photogenic but if...

The other night I was outside watering some desperately dry plants when a girl was leaving my neighbor's place. We said "Hi" and, after a few steps on and a little thought, she languidly turned around and decided to make a go of it. She was volunteering for HRC and going door-to-door to get money. One day long ago, I had done similarly with MASSPIRG...
