where is my mind

i can't be friends with smash for the next couple of weeks (she's completely devastated) because she's going to austin city limits this weekend, and i am not. this is the epitomy of self-knife time if ever there was such a thing... the pixies people, the pixies.... i get sick thinking of it. if i were a truly courageous and indignatious indie fan i would just quit the job and go anyway, eff the consequences. so that's it - my true clandestine nature is thusly revealed - i am a big scaredy pussy-pussy chicken man. mea culpa mea culpa.

i need things to do this weekend to keep acl off of my mind... i was just going to do the weekend ritualistic beer/sleep/pills/sleep thing, but then i remembered what i'm missing out on and am seriously considering making friends with gasoline-soaked rags. open to constructive suggestions.

i ordered a rowing machine and since it came in i've been burning lots of calories moving the hulking box, equipment unassebled and still inside, to and fro out of my way when i enter and leave my room. feel the burn. i'm going to eschew setting it up prior to... let's say october, because... october is when my new mexico river rapids virtual experience dvd comes in, and then i could set up the rower in front of the tv and have the dvd running whilst i row. then i just need a life jacket and a small squirt gun to simulate a true white water experience.

speaking of white water, uhhhh... fuck. insert your own wry porno reference here, it's early and i got nothing.

since everyone likes stereotype quizzes, here's another one i took a while back that's fun: which enemy of the christian church are you? for the record i came in as an atheist. credit to sierra for finding the high school one.

no, the dvd new mexico river rapids virtual experience does not exist.

I am nothing! That, according to them, is worse than atheism...

I'm a heretic. I didn't need a quiz to tell me THAT.

Shame - I know someone who is only wishy washy about going to ACL this weekend. If you could get there I'm sure she'd sell her pass. That might be kind of rude though as someone else bought it. Anyway, come to Dallas to see the Pixies Oct. 19 or something up here. It's a Tuesday night. School night.

Whoa! THE START!! Thank you! I knew they existed...heard them in Hot Topic of all places but still cannot find their fucking cd! Have you heard of Ambulance Ltd. or Elefant? Fucking great.

bunny - wish wish wish i could. i definitely have to work tomorrow and monday, and a 7-hour drive to austin to and fro can be taxing on the bones and organs. plus saturday is an important voting day here (ahem SMASH)...

rachel - i actually heard theSTART last year when their first album came out. i actually preferred that first one. ambulance ltd. is very good, as is elefant. if you catch mtv2 you should watch subterranean on sunday nights (or the sub-t website) - i've seen all those bands on there (when i still had a tv).

i use the word "actually" alot, why does that remind me of kerry?
