yeah, just got back to seattle this morning. had a fun time but being that i'm from the arid part of the u.s. i missed the wet a lot. it's easy to forget how nice it is to be hydrated on two quarts a day instead of needing at least three just to sit in the shade. it's easy to forget how hellish the sun...

well you were right about the rain!! But I'm not even minding, cuz I know that spring is right around the corner! 
There are cherry blossoms already in bloom downtown!
Did you have fondue at home, or is there some sort of fondue restaurant around town?

Hope that you had a great time down in Palm Springs! As much as I like the rain, I'm eternally envious of all those who get to warm up down in the Coachella Valley at this time of year.
alright, dudes, i'm getting my hendrix fix on. it's been festering for daaaaaayyyyys. it feels like the ultimate release of a godspeed, you black emperor song. pure, fantastic, contented euphoria after a long, dark tension you thought was going to go on forever.
past that my suicidegirls mojo was so funked by paisley leaving. i'm getting it back on because i still want to talk...

The abundant greenery and water of western Washington & Oregon is enormously appealing. I myself do appreciate the deserts of Nevada (and, even more so, California), but I'm not so certain that I'd want to call them home...

we're talking more about states of mind than song titles there. for the record though, the lyrics i have up are from an old Whiskeytown song.
yeah, i've gotten pretty bummed out when folks have left in the past. but things keep rolling. i did get my Hendrix on that day, actually - listened to both Experienced and Axis.

alright, i feel the need to tell you all about a beer. this beer is an endangered beer, much like the resident orca pods or the spotted owl up here in the pacific northwest. it's only available in oregon and washington with any consistency and sometimes at trader joe's- so maybe california. it's by a brewery called hair of the dog based in portland and...

rsmit66@lsu.edu, yeah you can see the set. i'll email it to you in a zip file.

i was only thinking of Seattle when i posted before - i neglected to notice your hometown. they really haven't been tearing it up like i thought, no - but give those two some time together, and it'll be sick. next season could be wild.
i still haven't gotten to see a Denver game with the two of them in action together...

I love steppenwolf simply for 'the pusher.' holy shit! great cut.
did you guys read the rebutal Jim Webb offered for the state of the union?
let me just say that he's trying to frame this as a fascist v. communist debate even if he doesn't mean to. his words really brought back stalin to me. "not one step backward" is what really drove it...

got a thought for the past few days. i'm going to just write it out; this is loren eiseley commenting on his thoughts as he thought of the connections of humans to a fish he called the Snout, our very earliest forebearer if you believe in things like macro-evolution. I found it to be one of the most obvious, but unthought of, perspectives out there....

aw, that sucks about the unknown download... someday you'll figure it out.
i really wanted to like the Built To Spill record more than i actually did. in the past, i have been a BTS fiend. but something didn't really click for me with the new one. not sure what it is.

man... you're the closest so far. it is a song, but not that one.
if you can't guess it, nobody can. i must be a bigger dork than i realized.

no new posts for a while, eh?
so here's what's up: corporate america+ politicians without initiative= bad. really bad. wanna know what part of the problems is? i know, you were thinking "non-existent import tariffs" but i'll counter with the socratic method: "how do you think they got lowered?"
things i've been thinking lately have me pretty happy. christmas was great. i got almost nothing...

why are parents so fucking hard to shop for? i need to know this! i spent most of my afternoon and evening out shopping for all the people i love with wet sneakers on and came up with an ornament! hand-blown and beautiful with some sentiment in it but still only an ornament. i feel like my very first christmas fully away from home should...

Plus I wasn't sure what time you were working. What time *were* you working? Do you work the same time every day? What time do you get off? Maybe we could meet you for dinner afterwards?
I am no longer spending money on music or dvds, don't tempt me!!
In fact I'm trying to thin out my collection at home.
I loved your answers to my questions. So funny, for "name something you do well" I almost put "I'm good at untieing knots".
