i’ve been praising adam sandler for a while. let someone else do it. even ebert like punch drunk love!

i found the glossary site a couple of days ago, and there’s tracks from the new record as well as a few from the old ones. i didn’t realize they’d released another record until a few days ago when i saw it on the playlist over at basement-life.com. i ordered the new record as soon as i heard it was out, so it should be in the mail soon. the new songs on the site sound a good deal better as far as production goes, but joey’s voice sounds drastically different from 2000– i didn’t even know they’d released an ep last year. on days go by, his voice sounds incredibly like the godrays’ alex. not a bad thing, not at all. just might take a bit of getting used to.

in related news, i talked to josh, and apparently kissing book has broken up, with adam in new york and drew not interested in continuing. andrew’s going to leave the name with the band, as they’ve done exactly what he wanted to do with it, but he’s still going to make music, and is working with dustin rocketship on recording more and starting another label. good news.

look for an mp3 from situation: no win later this week, if i can get it from vinyl to digital. that’s andrew from kissing book and joey from glossary in a punk (that’s right) band, from long, long ago. it’s very good. you’ll like it. i promise.

i went running yesterday, and it quickly hit me like a ton of bricks why i don’t go running. my chest heaved, my lungs burned, my feet and back ached, and i hadn’t even gone a block. okay, i’d gone a few blocks, but i’m using artistic license to show how it felt like i’d only gone a block, and in any case, it doesn’t change the fact that it was weak. so weak.

nine speeds! if i were a girl, i’d get a nokia instead of the t610 and text all day. wakka wakka wakka!

it took me about an hour to find this website again because the first time i found it i thought i’d be able to find the link easily enough and so didn’t bookmark it. turns out i was really, really wrong. in any case, this site is dan shafer’s design outfit, dandy design. he did a bunch of poster for shows up in bellingham for a long time, including the one shown here, for the all-time quarterback, martin youth auxiliary, jen wood, last good breath show. brandon and i were last good breath, and we covered a couple of lucksmiths songs. it was a fun show, and i remember how badly we thought we did when it was over. luckily, everyone was nice and didn’t say anything.

anyhow, check out the site, there’s plenty more posters that are pretty cool including a very nice 5 gears, rev hydra, rat cat hogan show and a sandcastle still / apollo generation one. silkscreened posters are the best.

apparently the matrix is the most philosophical movie ever made. they even taught a class on it at UW a few years ago. someone invoked the name during my ethics class a few years back, i was annoyed. the girl mentioning dressed and groomed herself as if she were trinity. she certainly was no trinity.

just another day in los angeles: a camel got deputized.

if i were to get a new phone right now, and say, this phone were released and in my price range, i would probably get the sony t610. bluetooth’s going to rule the world soon, so you better get something that’s compatible. what’s the deal with the earpiece on this thing? ahh, the future, where no straight lines exist.

no playlist, hardly a post. enjoy.

stinky hunk-a-mustard, yeah, yeah, yeah!
stinky hunk-a-mustard, woah, woah, woah!
stinky hunk-a grape ape!

new episodes of dexter’s lab starting in may.

Session Start (AIM - childsrevolt:brandon): Tue Apr 01 16:08:15 2003

childsrevolt: did you get any april fool’s jokes played on you?
brandon: no
brandon: i like umm hunger force guy
childsrevolt: meatwad!
brandon: yeah meatwad
childsrevolt: big news, though i’ll preface this saying that it’s big, but to remain calm, nothing has happened yet. but anyway, i got home today after work and checked my email and got a note from some people that i sent some pages to a little while back. they are definitely interested in the stuff that i’ve been writing, and once i get something together, they said to send it to them.

i can’t say what company is interested, because i think that would blow the whole thing, but i’ll just say that if this happens, i’m quitting my frickin’ job and selling this muther for enough money to get me the hell out of working…at least for a little while.
brandon: woah
brandon: wow
brandon: cool
childsrevolt: man!
childsrevolt: april fool’s!
brandon: oh
brandon: yeah.
childsrevolt: wow that was way to easy.
brandon: i’m a fucking idiot
childsrevolt: i’m gonna post that.
childsrevolt: because i can’t think of anything else to post today.
brandon: that’s embarrassing
brandon: okay, fine
childsrevolt: i came up with a bunch of different scenarios, and it was getting way too complicated, one of them was me getting paid to weblog my experiences watching that new jamie kennedy movie for the next 3 weeks.
childsrevolt: sorry
childsrevolt: i just needed to test it out, i didn’t know if it was believable
brandon: it’s believable, although i’m not really a good test, because i’m a fucking idiot
childsrevolt: yeah, i don’t know if i’ll do it. it’s kind of stupid. i need a better idea for something to post.
childsrevolt: mariners are playing tonight.
brandon: we’re gonna go down to the bar play free pool and watch the game
brandon: you should post it
brandon: you should
childsrevolt: i’m bbqing hot dogs tonight.
childsrevolt: okay, i got nothing better to do.
brandon: and then tomorrow post our initial conversation to show what a fucking idiot i am
childsrevolt: yeah, that sounds good, because then i kill two days with one stupid post!
brandon: awesome!
brandon: i’m going to my sailing class in ten minutes
childsrevolt: you’re going sailing?!
Session Close (brandon): Tue Apr 01 16:31:36 2003

yeah, lame, i know. catchdubs’ joke was much better. the midi file killed me.

i’ve totally forgotten about the onion, and haven’t looked at it in a long time, so really, i can’t say whether or not this was the best article ever, but for the moment, it is: Saddam Speech Suspiciously Mentions Nelly Song From Last Summer

For the enemy invaders of Iraq, it soon will get truly hot in here,” Hussein said in the speech, which was televised worldwide Monday. “No amount of clothing removal will be sufficient to withstand the fiery inferno that awaits them on the battlefield.”

big news, though i’ll preface this saying that it’s big, but to remain calm, nothing has happened yet. but anyway, i got home today after work and checked my email and got a note from some people that i sent some pages to a little while back. they are definitely interested in the stuff that i’ve been writing, and once i get something together, they said to send it to them.

i can’t say what company is interested, because i think that would blow the whole thing, but i’ll just say that if this happens, i’m quitting my frickin’ job and selling this muther for enough money to get me the hell out of working…at least for a little while.

zip your lips, don’t jinx me.

mariners are playing tonight, and if they do well, i’ll get over my shitty, shitty score my fantasy is kickin’ (i’m losing, 17-0). i went and picked up a grill at target today then hit the batting cages to celebrate opening day (part II). cooking some hot dogs and drinking some beer tonight.

i remember last year i bought a smokey joe (or did james buy it?) and thinking that it was expensive, though it wasn’t, it was cheap, i just never had any money to spend last year. having money is fun, but not having is a job is fun, too.

karl blau got an 8!
