Yesterday, a couple of friends came over. One of them has never heard PiL. I was playing Metal Box, "Swan Lake" in particular, and he asks me why I was listening to Blondie.

*Shakes head mournfully*

my sister came over with her daughter who is 20months old.

i let her place my bass. everytime she hit the low E i went "bo-o-o!" singing the note back to her.

then she hit it again and went "bo-o-o-." and smiled.

yesterday at supersonic, i met rimbaud!!! it was like meeting faiz at t&g25. fucking weird. what a nice chap!

I've been letting my beard grow for a while. Last night, I shaved the hair off of my chin, leaving my mustache connected to prodigious sideburns.

This morning, while brushing my teeth, it occurred to me that I now look like a cross between an old-school biker and Captain Kangaroo.

Your name is now added to the growing list of "persons of interest."

Good luck coming back to the US now.

Hey, some of my friends are from Indiana...

Subbed on bass for a friend's band...played in Portland.

I strongly recommend stopping by Powell's and Jackpot Records if anyone ends up visiting, unless you are on a budget and have problems with impulsive shopping. My visits have resulted in a great record, a pile of books, and future trips to the food bank.

I am particularly excited by my acquisition of James Branch Cabell's 'Gallantry', which I just found out happened to be the book found in Mark Twain's hands when he died. Kind of creepy, that...

I bought a bike today, I am officially a northsider. Only took 6 years of living up here.
