(insert subject here)

here's my table-buddy haji. he gets to wear the tie because last time i wore it things didn't go so well (girl things, and i also smoked a lot, which i don't do anymore), so he's sort of earned it and is also protecting me from myself.

here is my wall of timeless, vitally important truths (such as "don't put shampoo in the freezer!" and "world war 3 is a bad idea"). pizza in the corner.

here's jack. he's ridden on 5 of my 7 trips across the country, in the passenger seat (so i don't fall asleep and can talk to myself without feeling weird). now he hangs out on the dresser next to my bed and covers my clock because if i can see the clock i wake up obsessively like every 45 minutes all night (honest to god, this happens all the time).

been to almost all these places.

this is, believe or not, what i am currently using to write my rock record. i wrote "w" and "cost benefit analysis" on that fucking cheapsynthesizerthing. i'm also trying to write some stuff for dealbreaker, but it's a bit too intense to figure out while doing grad school stuff. i'm going to have to write it over a break, or go crazy in the process. i want the first one to happen first, but the second one might happen first instead.

back on the wagon.

at least for now, i am. i think i've had enough inebriation (somehow) in the last two weeks to make my 2003-self sick of droekenings.

last weekend ended like this:

wow. i look weird backwards.

i'm actually sort of obsessed with seeing how other people look in the mirror, especially good friends or people i see pretty much all the time. i remember when i used to live with my ex-girlfriend it always freaked me out to see her in the mirror in the bathroom because her face was backwards...it was like "hey, it's you...but also some slightly off version of you that just might be that alien we're all subconsciously hoping doesn't exist".

i am so ashamed...

...that i didn't like band of horses' cease to begin when i first listened to it. now, about nine months later, i am in love with it. so good. especially this random bluegrass/hammond-organ-type song towards the end of the album.

i also think i might have accidentally turned up a prerelease mix of margot and the nuclear so-and-sos' dust of retreat. i freaking love this album, and the version i have in my possession has a different track order and there is a lot less rock and a lot more violin than on the original version. very cool listen.

martyring the saints

so, the rule of the niners season since the week four loss to the panthers? don't go up on them 3-0 early in the game. the rams did it, and ended up losing 63-26. this week the saints did it and ended up losing 49-16.

there's not a whole lot to say. their QB threw four interceptions (three of them to sparks), and they fumbled once. they missed two field goals and at halftime had mustered a brain-destroying 43 yards. the niners scored 800 touchdowns and sacrificed the remaining saints fans on a golden altar at the end of the game.

honestly, our QB was under constant pressure from the saints' linebackers, and he scrambled for over 50 yards, but only in attempts to save his own life. for the second game in a row, he was sacked at least six times, including this humdinger.

From Other and Posts

luckily, he made it out alive. we're 7-1, and there are two other 7-1 teams and a 9-0 team, but everyone else is comfortably behind, especially in the NFC West. lookin' good for the run to the playoffs.
