The first time she came to my house, a woman I'd been dating briefly opened my freezer and said, "Look at all of these empty ice trays! I could never live with you."

I"I don't think you have to worry about that," I muttered under my breath.

Later, as I admired the full beard of someone on TV, she said, "You'd better never grow a beard."

"Why," I said. "It's my fucking face!

"Yes," she said. "But I'm the one who has to kiss it. And I will not kiss a man with a beard!"

"Well," I said, "if you won't somebody else will."


My ex-wife really hated how I got "in the zone" before gigs, becoming uncommunicative--almost catatonic--as I emptied myself of all emotion and conserved my physical energy for the performance. My "dead eyes" freaked her out, and when I asked her why, she said, "Because when I look into them, I realize you are capable of anything."

My ex-girlfrind used to do this to me. I actually found it attractive. I guess because it meant she was at least paying attention to what I was saying.

I've noticed this too (at least from girls I've known). Michael once wrote something on the SKWM website about how he kept telling his bandmates that they needed to write more songs that appeal to women.

Maybe cause SKWM's music isn't really that "sensual?" Man, I dunno. I don't even know what that means.

Oh how Megan hated "Drunk"...

On a related topic, anyone ever read the New York Times's fairly retarded dissection of Shellac's music and overall aesthetic?

Just change "before gigs" to "75% of the time" and that's me at home. And yes, I can do anything.

The exgf hated, absolutely fucking hated the Church. I love the Church. We got into a squabble about them (and my habit of listening to them -with headphones, no less) that progressed into a full-fledged screaming argument. She essentially broke up with me over this band.

Also, I always drink OJ out of the carton. At my appartment,. Not hers.

ALSO, why are ladies such beard-haters?
That shit keeps me warm in winter.

This topic is making me oRnery.

God-damned nitpicking bitches...
