Over the last year, i have started a new ear cleaning regimen. This process used to consist of sticking a q-tip in my ear to clean out a couple day's work of crud. But my friend Scott once told that your ear cleans itself out and using a q-tip actually pushes all the goop further back into your ear canal. Scott has a PhD, so i trusted this ( Read more... )

In case anyone hated me for donating money to the "prettier" girl, I came across this story today. It looks like doctors removed the growth from Marlie Casseus's face. My guilt can now subside.

After waiting four hours to see the Black Lips play at the Cat Club, the only thing i went home with was the memory of Mike Lucas techo dancing.

Today was filled with horrible events. As I like to avoid mention of the cause of the worst horrible event, it will go unstated except as this reminder to myself: I am a good person. But I will mention the remainder to the live journal public ( Read more... )

The Bay Bridge was backed up all night, so i didn't end up going to see the Real Kids documentary nor did i watch the Gris Gris play. Instead, i just dorked around with my guitar and looked at the internet. Honestly, this isn't too far off from my usual Saturday night anyway ( Read more... )

Yeah, we both like the Reigning Sound and we were both really excited to see them. We both stood right up front dancing around and we both knew the songs' lyrics. But does that mean you have to keep glancing over at me like i want to get in your pants? (Or skirt, as it was.)

There were two guests of honor - Cindy, who just turned 30, and one of my best friends, Brad. Brad just got back from living in Germany and we hadn't seen each ( Read more... )

Some people felt tonight's Budget Rock show did not deserve any mention in live journal. Well, that's because those people left too soon. As carlos and i were manning the merch table, the next band, The Emergency, set up shop across from us. But their merch setup was the real deal - color coordinated signage, perfectly laid out shirts and CDs, ( Read more... )

Unlike most live journalists i know, i have allowed my mother to peer into the dark underbelly of her child's life through the high art of weblogging. In practice, this means that every time i call up my mom, she asks me, "why haven't you updated your live journal ( Read more... )

This weekend i went on a mini-tour with the Mothballs, plus Paul and Jolene. We went to Las Vegas to add to the festivities of Roller Con where my friend Lesa also joined. Then we headed to LA for a house party with Special Ed and the Knights of the New Crusade where my sister joined. As aaron is going to be writing a tour zine, i will only hit ( Read more... )
