Just because I watch the Daily Show, does not mean I am a "stoned slacker": "Comedy Central had no statistics on how many people watch 'The Daily Show' stoned."

a friend on insomnia and mornings in Austin:
"on the nights i dont go to sleep i usually go run around 5. not very long.. just around the perimeter of the campus. but it is pretty amazing how very cinematic the whole jog is... the small details like the campus cats' aghast reactions to someone disrupting their scavenging time, the sysco delivery coming into the back of the union, the sprinklers running, the absolute stillness of the air.. all culminating towards the end when i reach the bottom of the very steep hill next to the soccer/lacross field and its like youre barely moving, but you have to keep pumping your legs to keep any of the momentum that you still have.. and you reach the top and right there before you is a perfect view of the entire downtown skyline still humming and buzzing and lit up."

"untitled"

guitars who scratch
and the softness of imagination
a blue rumble above the trees
an avalanche of clouds
in images, not words ..
& I scratch your skin
with a wild smell, a tense kiss,
a green light, a sharp wordless pause in the night
by the water that allows my spirit to breathe
and yearn for more- images
not words

time is an arrangement
time is an arranger
i am a derangement

all my thoughts
all i am are my thoughts
all my thoughts
i am all what i'm taught


Maybe it's just because it's political season, but these pixies lyrics seem political tonight

Today's college dorm funny: "'Honestly, we just wanted to say we had a stripper pole,' Foster said. 'We never actually expected girls to dance on it.'"
... liar, liar, pants on fire.

In case you were wondering if Bush or Kerry supporters had the best boobs: an important election year issue. God save the queen.

Laura recently commented on wanting to mind-punch people who missed the Red Hunter show. I liked that wording, so I did an image search with google. Here is the first result: spongebob.

If you missed it, yesterday was National Talk-Like-a-Pirate Day: check it out. Best pirate pick up line: "Let's get together and haul some keel."

I Found Some Of Your Life: When you lose your digital photography memory card in a Taxi, others may actually make a ficticious blog about your life. Is this legal? Ask the geeks.

The Candidate, an excellent short story by Mr. Warren Ellis: "The Candidate's long gaunt face displayed no emotion other than, perhaps, the sadness of a very old man waking up to discover that he is in fact still alive."

"rocky raccoon"

you schoolgirl pensive monster you
your motor in the bay
your militant non-apathy
a cigaratte pushing water away

FlickrBlog: good place to look at interesting photographs. Seems like a photo social networking deal. Not sure. I think I got to it from the fun Warren Ellis blog.

Last night friends came into town. There was an incident with pushing a car half a mile. Also, an update from my lawyer:

J: My parent's bought me a hatchet.
B: Wow, that's amazing.
J: It's in my car, want to see it?
B: Uhm.

He goes and retreives said hatchet. I am impressed. Later:
J: We'll leave it here so your roommate gets freaked out.

And, I didn't remember this, but our happy hour ritual began because Liberty's would give you a beer and three hot-wings for a dollar. The real roots: hunger, not alcoholism.
