So yeah, I got out of town for the weekend and basked in the comfort and happyness of a houseful of old friends. I guess that will keep me going for a little bit more. Hopefully at least until thursday when a few of us drive down to LA for a weekend of trouble.

Oh my goodness though. So the ride to where I went this weekend is 6 hours roundtrip and those 6 hours were spent listening to nothing but David Cross standup. That man is the funniest person on the face of the earth. Until I finally got some of my friends to sit down and listen to it on Saturday I was actually making inside joke/references that only I was getting. Yup, that is a good way to make people wonder what you have been up to in their absense.

Man I'm no good at writing these journals anymore. It seems my brain has been shot as of late for some reason. Soon though, I can feel a long-winded self-depricating story of woah coming up. I think right now there is so much of it to choose from really.

In anycase...part of my favorite song at the moment: (replace 'New York' with 'San Francisco' and sing along if you want...)

you've gone skinny
all alone in new york city.
it's okay, spread the peanut butter thick.
you're back home. sleep 'til noon
and listen to the shape shifters
in the volvo on your way to borrow
foreign movies from the library.

did they teach you to french kiss in new york?
did you learn to shave your face close
with dial soap and a steak knife?
how to slickly wipe a sweaty palm
on your pants thigh
before shaking hands firm
with the shadiest show promoters?

i know it's hard for a single person
to fold queen size bed sheets...
