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.

Lemonkid is right. Terrifying.

You can now say, "we et the et."

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

Sounds goooood.

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

No arms, just legs!

Is that... is that Teddy Roosevelt with bear arms?!

Wow. Ramp it up.

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.

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.

Yikes. Now regretting I didn't put the word out better where we were headed so that we could have met up.
