My dad works for Microsoft, in their data center R&D department, and he says he is really impressed by it.  (He's only worked there two years, so he's no slavish Microdrone.)  I think that through him I can get Windows 7 for like 25 bucks or something? if anyone wants one.

Me! (I do.)

Jl-- thanks for your kind words about my paper! I had typed up a whole thing about how your comments are really helpful, but my computer ran out of batteries and I am at the library. So here is the cellphoje-keyboard version:
thanks a lot! I liked the place where you wrote "NICE TRANSITION" because I was proud of that transition.

I hope it was helpful. It really was a very good draft. I hope you get an A++.

Saw this. http://ourtownoffbroadway.com/ot_movie.html
Fun fact: When you are sitting on a stage during the performance of a dramatic play happening all around you, you spend a considerable amount of time getting chills.

Today I'm going to make a 4 hour drive home but only get through about 2 and a half because my car dies and then have to get towed 100 kilometres. But I am home again and seeing people tonight.
Is good.

Ohhhh dude, it'll be so fuck*ng good. Try to get up front. And tell them they need to extend the tour so I can see them again.

The show was amazing. My brother and I were front row center, and I have two huge bruises on my hipbones from being shoved against the barricade. Highlight of the show: slapping David Yow in the face. In my defense he slapped me first.

Today I am trying to recover enough to go to a prostate cancer bar crawl.

Went and saw Japandroids and Surfer Blood last night. Surfer Blood were good, Japandroids were not really my thing.
My girlfriend and her friend would not accept my explanation, which is that the reason the audience was so into Japandroids is that they have this whole "we were in emo bands 10 years ago" thing going on. Borderline-idiotic heartfelt lyrics, with weird tense guitar chords and complex drumming? every second feels like it's meant to be EPIC? Guitarist who is like 30-something, but wears all these tiny buttons all over his plain black t-shirt? They were in emo bands 10 years ago. That is what is going on.

Hot apple cider + rye whiskey = yes. I like this.

Yes. When I told a friend about the Portland show I mentioned that my only regret was that I wasn't able to get close enough to by hit or spat upon by David Yow. This is a thing for him. I saw Qui, a band that he was (is?) performing with, a while ago and there was a dude up front that he didn't seem to be able to stop slapping the entire show.

He spits on and slaps people?  And people are excited about this?  Back in my day we went to concerts to be entertained.

Kinda sounds like he's a poor man's G.G. Allin.

He does not defecate on stage, to be clear.

Today I'm gonna appreciate having free wi-fi at the Philly airport so that I can tell you that I met the editor of Backstreets, a magazine devoted solely to Bruce Springsteen, on the airplane from Raleigh.

I've already emailed you his contact info, Wombat.

Kind of. Imagine a G.G. whose violence is kind of an art form used on stage instead of a clear indication of insanity used in his everyday, off stage dealings with everyone around him. Add some discernible trace of musical talent and you've got David Yow.

Honestly, as far as getting beat up by a performer at a show goes, I'd take Wesley Willis over either of them anyday.

If you listen close enough, you can almost hear him head-butting an angel up there as we speak.

R.I.P., big guy.
