Had an ecstatic episode Saturday. Went to Walt's land and drank some special tea with a few friends. We set up a couple of amps in the woods and a megaphone swinging from a tree and connected those to a couple of delay pedals and a strange keyboard called a W.A.S.P. Also, an iPod. Spent an eternity manipulating the sounds to the detriment or ( Read more... )

I was swimming in a slow, sunny river with some people, one of whom was Burt Reynolds. He was the main character. I might even have been him at times in the dream. He was also some type of special government agent. This other person appeared that Burt knew from way back, you know how in the movies spies all know each other from previous ( Read more... )

I know that many people traditionally spend the whole summer just reading. They have their summer reading lists and their little plates filled with cucumber sandwiches and that's all they do right on through Labor Day. A part of my brain has always been somewhat fascinated by this ritual, even envious, but the majority of my brain has always been ( Read more... )

I think I have a fractured rib. I have an intense sore spot on the non-heart side of my upper chest. Whenever I breathe deeply it is painful. Even when I lie on my side or do certain body movements it's painful. According to the internet those are symptoms of a fractured rib. The only problem is I have no idea how it happened. I don't ( Read more... )

I just remembered being very little in elementary school and there were woods way back behind the playground and everyone called them "Africa." I think somewhere on the other side of Africa there were woods called "Asia." You could travel over a mile in those woods and come out somewhere that would take you like ten minutes to get to by car just ( Read more... )

One - A guy and a girl are on a picnic and the girl offers the guy a popsicle. The guy says "No way! That has high fructose corn syrup in it!" The girl is like, duh, it comes from CORN and its got all the sweetness of sugar. Get the facts, man. Seriously, a pro-high fructose corn syrup commercial. Is there no bottom to the depth of man's evil ( Read more... )

I am extremely selfish with my time. I have virtually no tolerance for people who make me do things I don't want to do, even if I would only be wasting time instead. I don't know why this is. I think it gets worse as I get older. For example, I promised my friend that I would be her date to a wedding last weekend. It seemed like a nice thing ( Read more... )

I don't have a good memory. I mean, I do about certain things. Usually meaningless trivia. Events in my actual life I tend to forget. For instance, one of my earliest clear memories is riding to kindergarten in the car with my Mom and for some reason saying "Fuck!" Of course, she was like "where did you hear that word?" I didn't know. She ( Read more... )

There is this woman whose office is right across from me at work who has been blasting the Mamma Mia! soundtrack non-stop for two weeks. I kid you not. Constantly. In a loop. Now, I like ABBA as much as the next guy. If fact, I like ABBA much more than the next guy. I love it. I brought an ABBA mix CD on tour, for example. But, even I have ( Read more... )
