Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In sadder news, this will probably only connect with Hec, but Alpo (of the Real Kids) died.

Ahhh, shit. One of my great memories of living in Boston was having my hometown roommates put on "Reggae Reggae" as we bounced off the walls. (Note to Non-Real Kids Fans: It's not a reggae song, but a rock and roll rave up.)

I just found out the Wrens are playing at the Northwestern student union (which is like two feet away from where I am sitting right now) tomorrow!! [link]

I'm getting me some tickets over lunch. I'm going to see the Wrens tomorrow!

Ohhh! Although a little too dear...

I came really close to buying an almost new pair of silver Docs at a thrift store in Tempe recently, but they were a little bit small.

I was psyched when I found a pair that was all black (laces, rubber around the edge, etc.).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was trying to buy a pair of all-black Chucks last weekend, but they didn't have them in my size. And then I found that they had all-black Vans now too.

I should have gotten two and stashed one away. The place I got them was going out of business and everything was half off.

I've still got a regular pair of black Chucks from college. Not in too bad shape, but they were never shoes that I lived in like some people I know.

Btw, did you ever read the comic book The Badger by Mike Baron in the 80s?

YES!!!! I freakin' LOVED Badger. Gotta love a superhero who talks to himself, calls everybody Larry, and names himself after one of the meanest mammals on the planet.

Silver kryptonite.

YES!!!!

(Don't mind me, I just all asscaps and exclamation points this morning. I blame Tennessee Williams.)
