i think firewater is a cooler name.
that way, you can buy their records with wampum.

Speaking of the State of the Union, I fell asleep in the middle of the damn thing last night. I think all the polite clapping sort of hypnotized me to sleep. Ridiculous.

Care to grab dinner some night this weekend? I need to get the hell out of this place for a bit.

i sat there watching as i waited for my takeaway curry to be ready; all the pakistani guys were just completely ignoring the screen, with the most stoic expressions imaginable on their faces...

dinner sounds like a plan. drop me a line, yo.

[humblenarrator]

so, you'd recommend the walkmen, then?

[hethoughtofcars]

by all means! i think i may head up to sacramento to see them again tomorrow...

[humblenarrator]

excellent. i have a ticket to see them this friday in seattle.
