midday. i am dog tired (as in, as tired as Primo looked this morning) and am taking a break for lunch posting. Saturday was spent …. umm … err …. i have no idea what we did on Saturday. oh, i remember now. we met a friend at the dog park. his family was in [...]
before i ever knew i wanted to meet someone and fall in love, i had a sort of list (go figure) of things that needed to exist for me to be attracted to someone. it was a fairly short list. it may sound shallow, but number one on that list was taste in music. i’d [...]
go see Garden State and then go read Zach Braff’s blog. i had expected good things from this little movie after all of the good things i’d heard about it, but i hardly expected how subtly amazing it would be. when i left the theatre i had a feeling that i didn’t want to go [...]
while i usually read voraciously, this summer my brain seems to be on vacation. i bought Bill Clinton’s book right when it came out and enjoyed it from the beginning, but still i find myself reading only intermittently. each night it seems all of a sudden it’s already 8:30pm and i’m just sitting down to [...]
i’m feeling very post-y. i’m taking my first break from working today. my eyeballs just thanked me for an extra squirt of eye drops.
do you have a Powerbook? have you noticed that when you plug the AC adaptor in to the wall it sparks? (yes, it’s a grounded plug) then, join the ranks of [...]
went to see The Exorcist: The Beginning instead of seeing Garden State(which i will be seeing next weekend perhaps?). i have this unreasonable thing for horror movies. because of that i have to make certain concessions. there aren’t very many really good, really scary horror movies coming out these days so i have to lower [...]
i was so unbelievably ill, i can scarcely believe i’ve made it. okay, perhaps that was a little dramatic. i have a very odd tolerance for drugs, either high or low. high for the hard hitting drugs like vicodin or percoset (no, really). and yet a simple antibiotic can send me into a giant tailspin. [...]
much to our dismay (that would be me and my travelling companions) the Curiosa show at The Gorge next weekend has been postponed. i suppose i should be glad it hasn’t been cancelled, but i fear now that it will be re-scheduled when i am out of town. at any rate, i am keeping a [...]
be back soon.

things have been trying lately. not feeling well is certainly playing a part in that, but on the whole i’ve been feeling a bit stressed over the past weeks. i haven’t been feeling very inspired and in turn haven’t been able to channel creative energy anywhere.
part of my stress has actually been over the dogs. [...]
i’ve wanted to register the starbody.com domain name for quite a while now. however a Korean company owns it (although it hasn’t been used in several years) and will only sell it for $1500.00. not likely. so i’ve decided it’s time to get over it and select a new domain name. this is where you [...]
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,” he said. “They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

i’ve posted this before, but it’s so damn good.
The War Prayer
by Mark Twain
[1904]
It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing [...]

Neko Case is set to release her fifth album this fall on November 9th! it’s an understatement to say i’m looking forward to it. with the power gloss of pop and indie rock these days there aren’t many artists i can count on for not only consistently good albums but consistently amazing albums. Neko is [...]
i am grateful for my life, my friends and all of the other things that i form my world. that is not the point. there are days when i just feel like laying down and slipping into a cool, deep, sleep. i’ve stopped wondering why i feel the need to maintain connections, regardless of whether [...]
what goes better together than coffee and cigarettes? perhaps Marianne Faithful, Nick Cave and PJ Harvey. per the little birdie, comes news of a new release from Marianne Faithful titled Before The Poision(indeed!) and due out in January 2005. the record boasts collaborations with an all star cast including Nick Cave, Pj Harvey,Adrian [...]
