This is a little freaky. . i was looking through the pictures from the Bang this weekend and i see this guy who is some sort of lost twin brother of mine who has very suspect taste in straw hats and sleeveless striped shirts.. .

For the past year and a half i have been driving around with only one working windshield wiper.  When it rains it gives my passenger the feeling of being hurled into the unknown which, i think, builds a sense of trust . . .Anyway today i found out that it was just a loose bolt and it took just a minute to fix.  

hey Detroit,
Is anyone going to see Adult this friday?  Is there any chance that it will sell out?
I might be going but I would like to not pay Ticketmaster  if possible.

So,  from my vantage point here at the library i can tell that Ugg boots are finally on the way out. Sightings are at 5 pair/hour down from 15-20 this time last year (despite this unusually cold October.)

Even more than the sheer drop in numbers though is the diminished bravado of the girls who do wear them:  Folding them down to create the fuzzy ( Read more... )

The city replaced one of the sidewalk squares (slabs?) in front of my house.  today I noticed that someone wrote my initials in the corner of the wet cement with their finger. I have an admirer with a really odd sense of humor. . . who knows where I live.

does anyone know who does the "Love the way she doin it" song?   I think its a Jazze Pha thing,  but the internet seems to know nothing.   also listening a lot the the cassie "me & U"

There is a lot of teen homelessness in ann arbor.  i only say this because 3 kids asked me for money today.  They were all around 15 or 16.  It is hard to convince anyone that you are starving though when you are wearing a clean Pixies t shirt and there is styling gel in your hair.  
The longevity of the Pixies baffles me.  also the Violent Fems.  ( Read more... )

So I stayed up all night last night in order to go to court this morning to face the grave punishment for the equally grave crime of having 9 people at my house eating fondue.  Why stay up all night?  Because i knew there was no way i could wake up by 8am,  and i also thought it might help to be bleary and half asleep at court.

The courtroom was ( Read more... )
