my last fuzzy memory: three white girls singing Sir Mix-a-Lot and me not minding
p.s. I kind of want a puppy.

Donnie Darko
Wednesday, January 26
I think this interview showcases how the director for Darko is a little nuts.
I'm honored to have been able to assemble the director's cut, but more than anything I just want people to have an open mind to this version and not be so possessive about the original. I get really irritated when people take the incomplete, truncated version of my film and misinterpret it as something that it's not, like a movie about mental illness

Peanuts rich in 'good chemicals'

Great title. Almost as good a news headline as "Activity participated in by some"
I've been thinking. It's been a long one. I've been listening to Hot Hot Heat. (good article about them here)
These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been running and running feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around

the world spins, the flat world
a man on the street asks a passerby for the time
and the sun sets, maybe more orange than before
(but) none of this ever ever stops

Umami
If you want to start a full scale debate at your next happy hour, you might consider mentioning the 'fifth taste' umami: "In recent years some workers have added a fifth taste, umami, to the other four, though western food scientists are divided about whether it really exists or not."

Bob Marley to be reburied
Wednesday, January 12
Bob's whole life is about Africa, it is not about Jamaica . . . How can you give up a continent for an island? He has a right for his remains to be where he would love them to be

I held back, I had a feeling this whole blog thing would go up in flames
Maybe it did, in a way
My mind was visited by thoughts of a Phoenix so I revamped the template...
I adapted from this guy's old template.
Happy New Year, friends

While on The Trip I read a novel, You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers. I really enjoyed it. At the same time, I am having trouble sorting out if the paperback version I read even had this supposed 50-page addition that changes the interpretation of the entire novel! And I think my experience may not even matter to anyone else because I was interpreting the entire work based on certain assumptions about the characters that I am not sure were accurate. If only I could find someone who has read both versions, or is willing to tell me what the 50-page addition (which I am pretty sure I read) actually illuminated for the reader. Who was this Hand fellow? Or wait, was it Jack?
Comments by other people haven't helped me sort this out:
p.s. um, Egger's own a pirate supply store in San Francisco. ???

I feel that in theory I should read and enjoy Mr. Eggers, but i became entangled in a sixteen-comma chainwreck in a David Foster Wallace novel a couple months back and have become unable to wander the land of Mad Genius since.
Eggers doesn't come near to the textual pyrotechnics practiced by DFW. Now there's a 'mad genius' for you. I think I realized he was just a bunch of hot air when, while struggling through Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, I discovered that one piece was just a series of footnotes embedded within footnotes embedded within footnotes, ad nauseum, until you start bleeding from the eyes. Eggers, to his credit, never writes a sentence that will last an entire chapter. DFW does just because he can.
Eggers goes down easy, like warm milk. DFW is a mile-long row of tequila shots by comparison.

I am glad it is not 2004 anymore. It was not my favorite. It is 1:03AM and I am half-asleep and more brown than I used to be. It was a week of wonderful ideas and self-loathing. A nice mix of things. The water was unheard-of-blue-and-green and the heat reminded me of summertime in Austin Texas.
